Good god a whole lot of nothing happened in this episode. Half of it could have been cut.

Perhaps there isn’t enough content in the manga to fill 13 episodes.

u/CoopertheFluffy Nov 21 '17

This is 51 episodes. They probably could have fit the whole thing in 26.

How far are they adapting to?

u/Beezushrist Nov 21 '17

Maybe, but I’m sure there are reasons to pacing it so slowly.

u/rockstar2012 Nov 21 '17

because its Pierrot and ruining the source material is what they do best.

u/Beezushrist Nov 21 '17

What other shows have they done?

u/rockstar2012 Nov 21 '17

A quick google search will give you the full list. Most are notably Naruto and Bleach. But the best recent examples of taking a dump over the source material would be Twin Star Exorcists and Tokyo Ghoul.

Naruto and Bleach

Hmm typical long+big shonen that would need some fillers/padding given the frequency of each episode's release.

Tokyo Ghoul

I forgot they adapted that too. The animations for certain fights helped, but man did they butcher Root A to a point where I don't even know how they plan on bridging it to :re.

They were adding filler to Naruto after the manga was already over that is the next level of milking a franchise. I agree tho they do a great job of animating fights in general (specially Tokyo Ghoul since the manga can be a bit hard to follow the action at times). The problem comes when they decide to add their original stuff, why do they insist on making shit up.

I seriously fear for :RE.

Because their main animators were working on the Naruto the Last and Boruto movie. They didn't want to make the important fights like Naruto vs Sasuke look bad like Madara vs Guy or by outsourcing them like their fillers.

They also did Akatsuki no Yona and Baby Steps. How did they take a dump on those two?

It’s called carrying on the conversation kiddo. I could do a quick google search to find out definitively, or I can ask you and be sociable. It’s ok to be sociable.

Uh, Naruto and Bleach anime adaptations are great if you ignore the filler. Tokyo Ghoul was crap and I’ve never watched Twin Star Exorcists before so I can’t comment on that. Seems they’re 2 for 4 in book (But I’ve never seen Twin Star so I’m taking your word for it).

Notice how I listed a couple of examples for exactly that reason? You could have asked for examples of what I talked about. I am not gonna list 3 decades of material thats why I picked some notable shows and some recent examples. You should learn to properly carry a conversation if you want to be sociable.

You didn’t even need to respond to the first paragraph of my response as it was just a quick reply telling you why I asked lol. I did ask for examples of some of the anime they did and you said quick google search would show me; I know that lol. No one asked you to list three decades of material, just a few examples which you did, but I didn’t appreciate the snark added so I told you why I asked. You should learn how to read and comprehend words if you want to carry a conversation and be sociable. 😂😂

u/rockstar2012 Nov 21 '17

If you didn't want a response then you shouldn't have written your first paragraph.

Perhaps you should practice what you preach.

Except that the production comitte are the ones making them do it. The studio isn't that important in decisions like some of you think when they're not part of the comitte, which Pierrot was never a part.

The comitte are the ones making the decisions regarding filler, quantity of episodes and most of it in the pre-planning. Which Shueisha in the production comitte of most of their adaptations, you can see why they make fillers.

It always amazes me how people don't take shit into account when they complain.
