this is ashley with watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 changes that ruined anime
for this list we'll be looking at the
narrative changes implemented
into an anime that totally deviated from
the source material
and as a result did major damage which
anime alteration sent you into hysterics
let us know in the comments and as
always you can catch me on twitter
ashjaebow so head over there give me a
follow
let me know which anime list you want to
see next
number 10 making machi give up kumamiko
girl meets bear who thought this was a
good idea
it's one thing to make an anime original
ending but to do something so
needlessly cruel to the main character
in a series known for being a
light-hearted slice of life it's
baffling
with dreams of becoming an idol and
leaving her boring village behind
machi enters an idol competition her
only obstacle being
her own crippling anxiety and
insecurities
[Applause]
[Music]
instead of you know overcoming her
issues inch by inch
in the final episode the anime decided
it would be great
to make her suffer a mental breakdown
return home
and become even more of a childish
recluse now that's messed up
even the mangaka was left outraged
number nine removing shirley's ark code
geass lelouch of the rebellion movies
and this is why compilation movies
aren't always a good thing
because sometimes important elements are
lost along the way
while you can make the argument that
sitsu or kalin are the more vital female
characters
many are in agreement that shirley's
presence in the series
humanized lelouch and her death serving
as a grim reminder of the casualties
that came with his crusade
to do away with all this by just having
jeremiah
warning her to be careful it removes a
crucial aspect
of what drives and haunts lelouch so
yeah
stick to the bloody series
the flowers of evil whatever hope of
shuzo oshimi's unrelentingly dark and
painfully human magnum opus
getting a decent anime adaptation was
lost
when they went with this art style
while rotoscoping can be used
effectively this
was totally the wrong call to make the
flowers of evil
excels on paper due to its minimalistic
expressions of cruelty and confusion
all shown through the eyes of teens as
their innocence is continually stripped
away
something that is completely lost when
your characters
are left looking like potatoes slowly
fizzling
out of reality
removing the context elephant lead
lucy's trauma and bloody revenge may
have been accurately portrayed on screen
but the anime also dropped an entire
character along the way
[Music]
what what is it nozomi a girl who joins
new and kota's group
is most notable for her singing all
throughout the manga
she sings a song known as elfin lead
with lyrics directly tied
into the themes of the story tying
everything together neatly
instead she is replaced by a music box
that plays a completely different song
something that caused
a lot of tension between the original
creator and the anime director
[Applause]
number six the disappearance of the
skull knight
berserk don't get us wrong the 1997
adaptation of the manga masterpiece
is still phenomenal don't give up
griffith
be strong i'm coming to get you out even
with its limitations it remains one of
the
best animated dates surpassing the
golden age movie trilogy
and most definitely exceeding its 2016
and 17 sequels
that being said it's still seriously
lacking in skull knight
hey what's it mean
wait without this pivotal character it
did away with the lore
a way to end the eclipse in a satisfying
manner not to mention killed
any chance of a sequel where were you
when we needed you man
you and your sort of actuation could
have done so much
good
number five skipping hugo and goldie
pond
the promised neverland there's a reason
why so many fans have split from this
long-awaited sequel season
their favorite character was straight up
missing
i made plenty of other cut content the
character of hugo
a former orphan who had escaped the
demons and reached adulthood
was strangely absent when emma and the
rest discovered the deserted bunker
that's a pretty big departure and while
they may have covered it up
decently for unaware newcomers the
implications of how it will affect the
rest of the future of the series
and rosario vampire not to say that
there weren't busty anime girls running
around both respective manga
because there most certainly were it's
just as the episodes piled up
it was clear these series were focused
on another form of plots
time for your shot
negi's supporting cast is so huge that
it's a shock there's still a main girl
left stunning by the time the fan
service dies down not silly
should you be robbing that without a
license i don't need to worry about that
tonight
but that's a drop in the bucket compared
to rosario
whose obsession with its busty cast
robbed the series of character
progression
badass fights and tsukune's spine
[Music]
number three skipping to the final boss
blue exorcist
those familiar with the continuity of
this anime adaptation
already know how messy its ending is an
anime
original conclusion that has rin and
friends facing off against satan
at the end of season one
that's right they straight stop the
prince of darkness like he's a henchman
right off the bat it's such an asphalt
that the kyoto arc sequel straight up
ignored the last few episodes of the
original series
it didn't need to be this stupid or
confusing but it was
and it wrecked any chance of blue
exorcist reaching greater heights
number two killing off tatsumi akamega
kill
they had a good thing going on and yet
they couldn't help
but go the original ending route
[Music]
while the series had already
demonstrated its willingness to kill off
characters
still kicking in the manga the greatest
offense came during its conclusion
where they did in tatsumi
akame's name it might be in the title
but without its main character
and pretty much the rest of the cast the
series was left rudderless
with no chance of a comeback a shame
since it had shown so much potential
guess its own bloodlust got the better
of its

kaneki joins alkiri tree tokyo cool
route a oh root a why must you continue
to torment us with your nonsensical
tangents
it's taking creative liberties and then
there's being different for the sake of
it
in spite of a perfectly reasonable road
map the series chose to have kaneki
join up with the organization
responsible for torturing him
because he had no other option
oh you know he could have just started
his own group and taken on algiri
and the ccg at once like he did in the
bloody manga
[Music]
what's most baffling is that it arrives
at the exact same
canonical conclusion making the whole
thing seem
pointless at least re-fix things up oh
wait
