Darn... that was disappointing.

I love the manga — it's easily in my all-time top 10, and probably even top 5. And this adaptation just didn't do it justice at all.

It's obviously low budget, but that could've been okay, since there's no action to speak of. The weirdest and most disappointing thing is that the manga actually has better comedic timing, and that seems like it shouldn't even be possible.

The manga has to essentially imply the timing by using beat panels and gimmicks with the panel layout and such, and it consistently nails it - that's one of the rhings I love about it. But I expected that, even as good as it is in the manga, it couldn't help but be even better in an anime, since they can actually control the time between lines and get it exactly right.

And somehow they mostly failed. I don't even know how they managed it, but the timing was awful, so a lot of the jokes fell flat.

I'll keep watching it, if for no other reason than that they haven't done any of my favorites yet (Wada at the crane game, Yamamoto's story about the boob squeeze, Wada's doppelganger, the reason they both sit on the same side of the table, Wada's monologue about fighting off wildlife...) But I'm not very hopeful.

Oh well...

I haven't seen this episode yet, but most of the low budget comedy anime adaptations fuck up the comedic timing in my experience. Mostly by lingering too long on random shots (padding the runtime I suppose). Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai comes to mind.

[–] Rottcodd@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

Huh. You might well be onto something there.

It seemed watching it almost as if they weren't even trying to do any comic timing - instead, most of the dialogue was at the same slow, trudging pace. And that especially stood out to me because it's clearly conveyed in the manga that one of the characters is sort of manic and talks much faster than the other one. And yeah - overall it just felt slow to me.

And I'm fairly sure there was less dialogue overall - that the monologues from the manga were shortened. Which would also fit in with low budget and dumb corner-cutting.

I never read the manga and liked the episode. It may not as good as the manga, but it is still very funny.

[–] Rottcodd@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

I'm glad to hear that. I'd love for it to succeed, and I already love the manga, so my opinion of the adaptation is sort of irrelevant anyway.

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It reminds me of the anime (can't remember the name atm) where a group of girls just sits in the school’s tea club room, chatting about random topics. The topics in this episode fell flat for me though. I guess it's one of those lost in translation shows. I'll give it a episode more.

GJ-bu maybe? Yoshiraku and Yuyushiki sound similar too

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

thanks. Joshiraku was what I was thinking of.

Haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but this is one if my all time favourite mangas so looking forward to it.
