Why is ufotable lazy?

Leon888 said:
Now that I'm seeing a lot more things about demon slayer, I understand that ufotable could have added a lot of things in the anime, for example some demon backstories, like Enmu's or Gyokko's, even Daki's (remember we saw only Gyutaro's point of view, but we have never seen Daki's point of view), there are also some spin off works also dedicated to hashira Rengoku, Tomioka and Sanemi, which I bet will never be animated, it hurts me to see that Ufotable is satisfied only with copying the manga 1:1, instead of improving the work with additional information or correcting some points of the story (the only thing that has improved in the manga are the drawings, due to ufotable's animations), this laziness of ufotable honestly makes me turn up my nose, since demon slayer is their flagship anime, and what do you think?

Leon888 said:
but the cgi of the mugen train had also been criticized, the cgi of Enmu on the train sucked, just as this cgi on the fish sucks, and if we want to go into detail, even the cgi of the dragons clashes with the 2d, and if we want to be picky also the characters when they make them in 3d are very ugly to see

Ah...
So in the end , you are just a hater trying to pass of as a nitpicking fan...
Yep , you truly are a kid. I guess it explain your reaction as to when we mentionned 16 years old peoples.

My argument's not about adding scenes, it's about wanting studios to uniquely adapt and add things they want to a source material. And yes we've seen time and again the whole vocal community does turn upside down, as it did with the chainsaw man. When the director took a unique direction everyone hated to the point of getting him removed. When a studio tries to do things creatively to "imprpove" upon the source material, it will either help or harm the story, when it harms people will go crazy about why they deviated from the manga, then when the studio faithfully follows the manga they'll complain for more? It's not fair for you to hate when they don't faithfully adapt a manga, but then also complain when they do faithfully adapt. It's hypocritical and spoiled.

Don't just spam reply to random people without reading and understanding what they're saying first unless you want to look like a troll.

critize the author for not putting those backstories up, not the studio. It's fine if Ufotable adapts the manga as accurate as possible. Adding extra stuff like backstories that didn't happen in the manga or stretching the Tengen vs. Gyutaro fight (in a good way) is a nice to have but not a must have.
They CAN but they don't have to if they don't see any problems staying true to the source material and don't think it's necessary.
As long as they haven't been paid to do some specific changes, "copying the manga 1:1" is the bare minimum. It's enough for me and I don't see any issues with that.

You could say that about almost every other shonen anime. Upper 4 literally became a clone after his neck was cut. Idk man if he had actually shown his true form in the beginning you guys would have called it lazy writing and be hella confused.
I mean why would he show off his real form so quickly when he might have a chance with his weaker yet multiple clones. Besides isn't it much effective that way. He might be able to wear out his enemies or maybe trick them more. What would be the point of his power if he isn't able to efficiently use it in battle. Going all out from the start when he has such a tricky power would be such a waste in my opinion.

Nah bruh I can see the screen just fine

Demon Slayer is NOT their flagship anime lmfao....

Mienus said:

I'm not really sure what you're referring to here.


Why are any of these manga relevant? Are you insisting that people only like Demon Slayer because they haven't read any of those other manga? Because the same logic can just as easily be applied to them. People only think Monster, or Berserk, or Vinland Saga are good because they haven't read stuff like Summit of the Gods, or Red Colored Elegy, or Sangokushi. It's not really a good argument, but like I said, the "quality" of Demon Slayer, or any of these stories for that matter, is completely irrelevant to my point.

Rokenix said:

calling it a masterpiece was my own opinion... not sure if you're aware what that word means,
maybe google it or go back to English class.

this conversation was about ufotable being "lazy" I commented that there is an immense amount of work that needs to be done for these shows to even come out. which you obviously do not understand, a large proportion of animators or overworked and underpaid yet they still have deadlines they need to meet. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT LAZY.

all you're doing is going on a tyrant replying to people you don't agree with. literal child behavior, it's a cartoon show made by people on the other side of the world at the end of the day.

no matter what you say or complain about, the studio will never read it and doesn't care about your opinion, and neither do most other people.

Get off the app and maybe go for a walk or something dude.

There were words of critique, sure, but they were not close in numbers and intensity to what we could see in SSV arc anime's case. You'd expect people to be more picky about mediocre CGI used in a movie than CGI used in a TV series. Movies usually present way higher quality than TV series, due to budget, their length (feature length movies lasting for 2 hours still last more than 12 episodes, 20 minutes each)... And yet, somehow many people didn't see anything wrong with it, unlike CGI from the current season. CGI that looks either the same or better than Enmu's tentacles known from the Infinite Train arc movie adaptation.

Leon888 said:
i think more that that is also because the mugen train arc was better than this in season 3 so people tend to defend it more just see aot with mappa, people defended it harshly even though it was undeniable that the cgi it sucked

Leon888 said:
strange, no one had complained about the filler episode based on Rengoku, from these assumptions the only one without a brain here is just you

Leon888 said:
the bro, he doesn't know how to make an anime worthy of the name, all the things you are saying are useless, chainsaw man had valid reasons to be criticized, and also we are not talking about studio Mappa which ruined aot, but about ufotable

Leon888 said:
literally it's a lazy and confused writing, just look at Nezuko who is the biggest plot hole in all demon slayer ... and also there is a reason why battle shonen are so criticized, but you can also find exceptions, HxH or Full metal alcehmist for example

Leon888 said:
so having more insights into the characters would make demon slayer unwatchable?

Leon888 said:
Bro, are you telling me that Berserk or vinland saga are not the pinnacle of manga?

Mienus said:
like I said, the "quality" of Demon Slayer, or any of these stories for that matter, is completely irrelevant to my point.

Leon888 said:
if so then better not even comment because I would only waste time

Leon888 said:
you should go look up in the dictionary what the word faithful means, lol

Leon888 said:
brother can't answer the questions, because i put him on the spot, lol

Adnash said:
Here it's a matter of taste, to be fair. If you take a look at critical opinions about Mugen Train movie from the past (I repeat: critical opinions, so not mindless ranting done by haters), you might see similar arguments as many people are giving nowadays while talking about literally every season of Demon Slayer anime. I agree that Mugen Train movie was better in general than what we have seen up until now from the third season, but it doesn't matter here. What we are talking about is how some people are decreasing their standards only to increase them in the moment they find as convenient for them. All of this instead of just looking fairly at the series, with decent dose of critique and appreciation.

About Attack on Titan, you've mentioned MAPPA, but their CGI was not half bad. It was better than in most seasonal animes, and represented quality better than Wit Studio's CGI from Seasons 1-3. ;p

StaleNut said:
The episode you're referring to is part of the Tv edition of the mugen train arc. No one even cared about that since most fans had already seen the film beforehand. Obviously if you choose to rewatch the same arc in a Tv format, you're going in for extra content and not just a 1:1 adaptation. 

J3_Omega said:
Gonna be real with you, my dude. I think we got too many demon backstories as is. Feels tedious every time we get backstory of demons who are either completely unsympathetic even with their backstory and/or who are about to die anyway. Having more of that would make the show unbearable to sit through imo

PriinceYuki said:
Thanks you proved my point for me. Hate  ≠ criticism

FZREMAKE said:
Yes your reasoning is not convincing at all.

jeffery_dahmer said:
having more insights is a great thing but demon slayer doesn't exactly do that. the only thing it does is just show u the same lame backstories for everyone. ''oh no look xyz has lost his mother,father,fanily, etc and it is so sad!!. he is your righteous and kind soul but everyone treats him like trash...and now either he becomes one of the hero or villain''. ds writing is so bland, predictable, boring and plain that it feels like a chore to go through.

Mienus said:

It's funny how I can now start replying to you by just quoting myself




My brother in Christ, 50% of the messages in this thread are just you, you're already wasting your time.

organikguy said:
imo they did a pretty good job, cant ask for more.

truth999 said:
1. true to the facts or the original or 2.remaining loyal and steadfast so adding backstory's or parts that arent in the manga or in a manga thats by a different author that isnt canon or "correcting" the story would not be true to the original or remaining loyal every manga fan just wants a faithful adaptation and you guys are complaining when your getting a super faithful one 

Tangsan20 said:
I mean he obviously didn't care about the question cause it was you acting like people care about your attention even tho 99% if the comments were people telling you that your opinion is wrong lmao. 

I see what you mean with imperfection of the original work but you seem to forget how adapting a manga works cause it's not Ufotable being lazy and not adding stuff but they can't just change the like you called it "garbage" cause they need the approval of the of the author to do so if she gave green light to change the story sure but if she doesn't then ufotable can't do anything about it. I read the manga and I admit that it wasn't perfect and that we pulled a lot of asspulls in the last arc *cough*tamayo's drug*cough* but I wouldn't degrade it the way you do it. The author did the best she could to give us what she have today and while it's not comparable to something like Berserk and Vinland Saga it's definitely not that bad. (And yeah I could have kept my comment for me but tbh your rage replies killed me so I wanted to see lmao)

Leon888 said:
makes me laugh that all map defenders stick to Wit's cgi to say that Mappa's cgi is beautiful, it's not that if Wit's cgi is ugly, then Mappa's cgi automatically becomes beautiful, eh, besides Wit uses it only in a couple of scenes at least, Map in every episode of all season, imagine constantly seeing ugly cgi in every single episode, it is abhorrent

Leon888 said:
just because you like demon slayer, doesn't mean it's a good work 😉

Leon888 said:
you're right about that, but coming to my defense of demon slayer not acknowledging that even a child could write a better story beats them all

Mienus said:
like I said, the "quality" of Demon Slayer, or any of these stories for that matter, is completely irrelevant to my point.

Leon888 said:
so let me get this straight, if you watch a movie in television format it's right that they add extra scenes, if instead it concerns a manga in anime format, no? lol

FZREMAKE said:
Just because you don't like demon slayer doesn't mean it's a bad work 😉

Mienus said:

what about this do you not understand? maybe i'm not explaining this in the right way.

Leon888 said:
nah, i usually reply to most of the comments in my threads, i don't care if i agree or against my perspective.

Also if you have read the demon slayer manga, you should know how much it sucks, the author should have tried harder, or at least have enough knowledge to write a good story, simply her work is carried out by ufotable animation, he also had some good ideas, but obscenely implemented

Gaah, I was sooo upset there wasn't a backstory included for Enmu!!! </3
