Description
I'm redoing some of our old pins for this weekend's convention and well, I put too many details into it, as usual, sooo... Yeah, I'll be submitting this one and the Cheshire Cat from Pandora Hearts on DA because... why not? I don't want the details to be lost on a small pin. Though I must say Cheshire doesn't have so many details, but I want to submit both cats, that's all.Drawing them after so many years was nice! The old pins were not only ugly (as for my current standards) and we lost the templates and PSDs, but also well... While Cheshire was fine, back then I only knew the Heart no Kuni no Alice manga version. Aaaand... then I've discovered the original game, and goodness gracious the manga KILLS the characters - they made them so soft and so meh and the designs are so much simpler... it's sickening... So yeah, I was mad when looking at that pin, since it was the Boris from the manga. Now, finally, this is the "true" Boris Airay!

No, I can't stand anime or manga versions of visual novels, so I wouldn't watch it

To put it blunlty, they're really bad
Sure, it may seem okay if you don't know the original game, but after you play, you see just how bad it is. At this point, I don't even bother anymore

The anime adaptation tone down the buckets of violence and remove the sexual elements. Isn't that a good idea?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm honestly, I don't like censorship, and in this case toning down the violence would remove a lot of what's makes this game what it is. You know, I play tons of visual novels, and lots of them with adult content, sometimes very crude, so I don't like toning down

You know anime and manga adaptations will have to tone those things down a little to get a good rating. What I am interested in is the acting, story, and character development. Isn't that what makes a good story and not the blood & sex?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not necessarily. I mean, it's not the blood and sex per se. The thing is, in a bunch of the games I've played, really important things happen during the most violent or sexual scenes. If you remove that, you have to remove content. Or place it at other moments, that may not be equally appropriate. Besides, quite often the problem isn't only the toning down. Lots of these games are actually romance games that have lots of different routes depending of the character you're pursuing or not. In anime and manga adaptations, they tend to make a weird mix of all the routes, without some of the most important parts of most, and often removing the romance. Because of that, the result is very bland.
And also, they often have little to no respect for the characters. A good example is the manga version of DRAMAtical Murder, in wich they change what the characters like or not and the story doesn't make lots of sense at some points. I'm interested in the character developement and story more than anything else too, so I don't NEED the games I play to have adult content, but if they have it, I don't care, since I know the characters and the story as they really are. More often than not, the story and the characters are really bland in the adaptations compared to the games. It's the case of Boris for example, since we're talking in the comments of this deviation. He's like not the same person in the manga, and it's very infuriating to me.
So yeah, I understand why do they tone down some things, but I don't like censorship and I mostly hate all the other changes they make to the characters and story. It's nice to see a game with success enough to make it to anime and manga form, since it makes it's even more popular and all, but if you ask most VN gamers about it, they'll sure be grateful for that, but they won't watch/read the anime or manga.
I hope you understand - I have nothing against people liking it and all, but I can't stand it because I love the games too much. I hope I didn't appear too rash or anything, that wasn't my intention, but to be honest English isn't my mother language, and this is a bit complex to explain just like that. So I'm sorry if I seemed like angry or something - it wasn't the case!
