Anime fans so often complain of failed anime adaptations of manga, light novels and games – but not occasionally it is the anime version which is widely acknowledged as superior, as explored by fans in the below ranking.
1. Gintama
2. K-ON!
3. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
4. Steins;Gate
5. Blue Exorcist
6. Garei Zero
7. Lucky Star
8. Baka to Test
9. Death Note
10. Card Captor Sakura
11. Big Windup!
12. Black Lagoon
13. Kami-sama Dolls
14. Ika Musume
15. “Anything by KyoAni”
The last item probably sums up the feelings of a large proportion of Type B anime fans with respect to anime in general…
I personally thought Railgun’s manga was better. And Ga-Rei Zero wasn’t an adaptation.
Blue Exorcist there, w00t w00t!
lol at steins gate beeing on the list.. it was on the “inferior to original” list that came some weeks ago as well..
Railgun anime, better than the manga?
Haha, oh wow.
I’d like to see how much of these anime would still make the list if you took out all the eye-candy that was added in the anime version.
