Anime adaptations of manga can bring stories to life, but many fail to capture the essence of their source material. For instance, 'Uzumaki', a horror classic by Junji Ito, initially impressed with its faithful style but later suffered from poor animation quality and a rushed storyline in its four-episode adaptation. Similarly, 'The Way of the Househusband' transformed into a static experience, limiting its comedic potential. 'One-Punch Man' had a stellar first season, but subsequent seasons faced criticism for visual downgrades and omitted story arcs, leading fans to prefer the manga. 'Akame ga Kill!' diverged from the manga with an anime-only ending that altered character arcs, while 'Record of Ragnarok' and 'Soul Eater' failed to maintain the dynamic storytelling of their manga counterparts. Other adaptations like 'Rosario + Vampire', 'Berserk (2016)', 'The Promised Neverland', and 'Tokyo Ghoul' also fell short, either through pacing issues or significant narrative changes, leaving audiences longing for the depth and richness found in the original manga.
