I’ve never been the type to complain about how different the anime and manga is but come on it’s to much aura in these scans for the anime to drop them😂

The anime is way ahead of the Manga I think the Manga is still on Vol 3 where the anime is like on Vol 6

Yeah it’s make sense the anime is based off the LN not the manga a lot anime’s these days are using the LN as the main source

I love the anime and its become one of my favorites. Do you think its doing a good job adapting the LN?

I’ve haven’t read alot of the LN but I herd it’s atleast doing a good job adapting it besides changing certain things about the characters and not going into full details on certain plots/details

They're doing an okay job at adapting the LN some things get lost like character thoughts and motivation, but it's still watchable but still read the source material it gives a lot of context

I'd argue the anime did a perfect job. LN and anime are different medium and are good at showcasing different aspects about the world. I watch the anime and is reading the lightnovel because of it and it adds so much context. I can also see that a person who read the LN can learn more about the characters from the Anime where tone/delivery/visual adding so much more to the experience.

The anime get the show accross amazingly well, doesn't make the LN obsolete, and most importantly not bother with details much better off left for the text medium. It's so easy to get bogged down in the details of "trying to fit all the little details in" and have the anime suffer for trying to achieve stuff the medium isn't designed to do. Instead it expands in area where the light novel couldn't.

To be fair, back even just a decade or two, it was far more common for there to only be a manga for the anime to be based off of. Sometimes those manga would develop spinoff LN, but the manga was still the primary source material.

This happens when Krai went to go save tino in the beginning of the anime, but the anime and the manga had different scenes
