About a couple of months ago, I found these pictures of the original manga scene with Kanata revisiting her family. I didn't think too much of them at first (And I found them at Something Awful of all places), but after quite an easy search, I found them once again.
I've looked through this thread and they weren't posted, but if they were already posted at the Image Thread, I apologize for my laziness. ^^;
(There are 8 pages, some of them seem to load slower than others)
While I appreciate the fact that this scene was actually from the manga and it's all in color, I do believe in the anime version was much better.
It just really set up the scene quite beautifully with the music and flow. It felt like there was a lot more to Sojiro and Kanata's relationship than we expected. Plus we get that additional footage that makes you feel for them more as they were a striving couple who were evolving into a full family. From the dates and ring and then Konata's birth.
The manga, while I like the fact the scene feels more geniuine to the natural feel of Lucky Star, feels a bit stranger. I do like the subtraction of Yutaka, because all she did in that long scene was make a cute face. (I know she wasn't in this particular section, but all the dialogue leading up to it about Kanata, she was in there for some reason) Not to mention that it says here they would format the camera rather than flat out burn it. Burning feels a bit harsh.
And it makes the two parents look in very dim light compared to their counterparts in the anime. Sojiro appears more a creep and Kanata has this strange sense of snark about her since she's frowning in nearly every page. Some of it made sense like when Sojiro revealed the ero-games, but wow...it's much more simple than the exposition in the anime scene.
Just thought I'd show everyone this.
