in comparison, nippon's version was a lot more faithful to the manga in the introduction of the ryodan. note: i don't think being more faithful is necessarily better and i will maintain that point to the end. but the 1999 version has always been castigated for even the most minor changes. i expect consistent standards. |
Excellent post.
Since the Madhouse anime premiered, this thread had been mysteriously invaded by about three new members trying to convince everyone that this was bound to be the superior adaptation from day one, so don't be surprised by those biased "comparisons" that are more like opinions (and omissions).
