I'm talking about the writing, and how close it is to the manga. Because the studio does write the anime too, doesn't it?
Good animation is a plus, but it doesn't help much when you add filler scenes that aren't there, remove certain mangascenes, replace character action with other characters etc.
I heard. Again, standalone kept me entertained and in anime, much like movie, that's all it matters. I'm not bashing you or anyone, but I do find it unfair for people to criticized the visual media with the hard copy writing. I like to review in two separate entity and the standalone is what matters to me. Heck I didn't know Death Note went by fast like how one episode is a volume, but you know what, it was great. It's all depends on how to utilize well and to me, this one nailed it. I didn't feel anything cheated or anything.
If I read manga, sure part of me would like to be in the anime, but again, looking at standalone, it's still amazes me. It's the reason why now this is being the best anime this year and to me, it deserves it. I have been dealing with meh and disappointing anime for far too long, so this one got me back to anime world. So, that's my short story.
P.S. hey, so long those scenes "protect your love" and some others are canon, then I'm all good. Lol. Yeah, I'm a romance sucker...
