Honestly, I don't know what Shaft wanted to do. It is obvious that it's not entirely their fault, as the novels themselves were not written with adaptation in mind, and there are points that definitely show that. Perhaps the problem is that Shaft tried to use with Nise the same template they used with Bake or something like that. It simply doesn't work. All the novels are different beasts. This or maybe there are misunderstandings between Nisio and either his fans or Shinbo. For example if you read the books you can see Nisio's specialty is the anticlimax, yet Shaft cut most gags of that type.
