CATDOLL: Japanese netizens: Adapted animations should be faithful to the original work, but the original part is rubbish

There are a lot of animations in Japan every season. Although there are some original animations, most of them are still adapted from comics or novels. There has always been a debate about the issue of Japanese comic adaptations, that is, whether these adapted animations need to include original plots. Good original plots can indeed improve the quality of the work, but there seem to be more animations that are criticized by animation fans because of the original plots... Recently, a Japanese website conducted a survey on college students. According to the results, about 80% of college students chose "faithful to the original work."

I hope to recreate those scenes I like!

This is a lesson from history...

Original plots are generally boring. (Female/22 years old)

I like the original storyline and don’t want to see a different storyline unfold. (Male/24 years old)

As for original plots, they are often not provided by the original author, so the plots are not interesting. (Female/19 years old)

I don't want to spoil the impression of the work.

I hate original plots because they ruin the feeling of the original work. (Male/21 years old)

I like the original work very much. If the characters and plot change, I won’t want to read it anymore. (Female/19 years old)

I like the feeling of the original work and don’t want the world view to be destroyed. (Female/22 years old)

There are many plots in the comics that we like, so everyone hopes to reproduce them in the animation. However, some people still hope to add a lot of original plots. So what is the reason for everyone to do this?

A different plot is needed to distinguish it from the original. (Male/21 years old)

Animation should have its own unique features. (Female, 22 years old)

If it's the same as the original, I might as well read the manga again. (Male/21 years old)

As long as the plot is interesting, it doesn’t matter if it’s not the original work. (Female, 21 years old)

Although most people don't want to watch original works, there are some voices that support original works. There have been some good animations with original plots before, such as the two different versions of "Fullmetal Alchemist" which were both well received by everyone. It seems that nothing can be absolute. As long as the original plot is not dragged out or collapsed, there is no problem with appropriate additions. So what are your opinions? Let's discuss it.
