That's only Gintama though. Like I said, Gintama is special. I don't need to read the manga to know that the anime is superior than the manga. I am a bit "unnerved" though that there might be short stories that I've not seen yet b/c Gintama just switches arcs in the anime as it likes. Who knows how I'm even supposed to catch up with the manga once I'm done with the anime? Might
as well start reading from chapter 1 -.-
 
But normally when it comes to animes... I hate it when the anime leaves things out or alternate things when they really shouldn't have. It makes you feel that your experience with the series is incomplete/distorted (hello Tokyo Ghoul) so that you can't openly discuss your impressions with manga readers. Manga readers will always charge on and say, this was different, and blablabla.
Example: When Ed "confessed" his love towards Winry in the end, Winry reacted totally different in the manga. She was literally frantic and hitting the train out of frustration. She was so much more calm though in the anime. Why change that? Yeah, I'm nitpicking, but that's how I am :(

Well, so long the outcome is the same, that's all it matters. I'm only addressing to the FMA scene. As for Gintama, yeah, they do change around, though they do go back of course. It's rather funny because if you wouldn't know the switch places, you would think "Hey, we're close to the manga. I guess the season ends here." Truth is they skipped a good chunk. As of now, I'm surprised that the first two episodes are filler, which they were hilarious. Unless they came from much late in the manga, but who knows.

Anyway, I agree with you. As for me, I duel wielding these series, so I know what's changed or not. I would say that anime is always more bright when it comes to a moment, which is a good thing, nothing wrong with it. The only troublesome would be like "Wait, that scene didn't happen? Aw, they really make it seem like they will go out." No I'm not only referring to Naruto. This is general. Though I will be honest, it does get me, so anime knows their tactic. Damn them...

So yeah, I understand.

Will all that being said, I'm glad the anime fro 2011 to HxH sticked to the manga  ^_^ The only thing I'm a bit salty about is Kite having met Gon already in Chapter 1 (Kind of). Fact is, Gon has never forgotten about Kite, making his rage about the latter's death more significant. B/c there are watchers who think that Gon overreacted about a guy he has just met and forgotten about prior to their meeting.

And then there's the fact that Leorio was able to open the door to Killua's mansion on his own O_O I didn't know that he was that strong, lol.

Ah yes, I remember that. Glad I wasn't the only one noticed the effect of that alteration. Nevertheless, not all adaptation will be that 100% faithful. Still, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

 

Edit: Lol. I didn't notice the tag. Way better than Naruto.

Damn i stopped watching it after the pitou and gpn fight. All the king and the old man battle was good. But after that it became a bit boaring. Have seen it lije for 6-7 months

Is the series still going? Cuz it was stopped after that arc.

Can you maybe put it in spoilers?

Uhm, I'm guessing you mean "Gon" with "Gpn". There was still the 13th chair election arc afterwards. And it stopped a long time ago with episode 148.

Made it through 23 eps now. I'm actually going along pretty quickly with it, though there's still a lot to go.

 

And...

Killua's family sure is something else. Seriously, they've got to be up there as the worst family ever.

HxH

Take your time with this anime ^_^ I'm moving at a much slower pace with Gintama (3 episodes a week maybe...)
Killua's family is definitely crazy. They all have a really twisted sense of family and moral standards. Illumi is prob the worst one in the family though.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Splendid idea.

Do you often start an anime and then leave it on hold for a while?

 

Hunter Exam was... unique I guess. It didn't have too much actiong going on, but gave you a little taste of what battles in HxH are about.

[TouKen4Life3g]

False alarm. Back to other caring series...

Yeah, that happens all the time..

 

Hunter exam

The fight between Gon and the Ninja guy at the finale phase was... Umm not the best.. It was still somehow fine. The Hunter Exam was also nicely build, in my opinion. 

 

Also, I'm surprised with Killua's family. The next arc is about his family, so I'm looking forward to it.
