I was the best "Where's Waldo?" player in my neighborhood. U jelly?

 

You just reminded me that in grade school I had memorized the whole book and I would challenge random classmates. I would beat them with lighting speed until they realized it was a rigged game. :P Good times.

I'm kind of torn as to whether to watch EX, I've always read the VN first, and it always ends up being better than the anime. :/

>Watch anime

>Disappointment

>Wait for VN translation

>Read VN

>Utter enjoyment

>????

>Profit

 

I watched LB the anime and that drove me to try the VN and i still enjoyed the VN so there's nothing wrong with watching the anime.

I'm also playing S;G after watching the anime as well and still enjoyable.

Well, I know I'll still enjoy it, the question is in which order will I enjoy both things more.

I disagree with this. Reading the visual novel after watching the anime would be a waste, since the excitement of the story has already been drained.

I found the common route boring regardless but the character routes were more enjoyable than in the anime for me even after watching it and then reading the novel hence why the graph is true for me.

I can see your point. I have the habit of reading a light novel even after watching the anime adaptation. I'm afraid I have contradicted my last statement with this one.

It is by no means a myth that the source material is always better than the adaptation. Even though they are the same in essence you will always feel the difference.

Indeed.

 

I believe we have turned the "Found Saya" topic into a "Original vs Adaptation" topic.

Screw anime, I'm playing the VN first. >.>

To be honest, yeah, I'm with Flutterz on this one. I'm gonna wait til I can read the VN first before I watch the anime. I'll admit, yeah, I might enjoy it... but at the same time, I don't want to risk ruining my experience for it in the VN. I know it still may not ruin it, but I get the whole feeling during Refrain and everything. When I went through Refrain in the VN, it really did become a main reason why I loved the VN. While, sure, it was a first experience thing, I can't shake the feeling that for me to have loved it the way I did, I needed to have been exposed to it exactly the way the VN exposed it to me. The combination of it being extremely well-written, as well as the way the events played out the way they did really did make the impact on me a special one. So yeah. I don't wanna risk ruining that at all.

Actual sorta spoilers here:

No way I could've been the only one who chose "Save Everyone" when the options were between that and "Run with Rin." I honestly did think it'd be possible to save everyone... and the impact that hit me when it turns out... NOPE, sorry man, can't save everyone. I didn't know how the story was supposed to end. I really was devastated there, even more so when the ending credits started to roll after running with Rin. (Something the anime couldn't accomplish.)
