sometimes animation just does it better
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
anime that are better than their manga
counterparts before we begin we publish
new videos every day so be sure to
subscribe for more great content for
this list we’ll be looking at the rare
cases for an anime adaptation of a manga
has managed to surpass the source
material as such be on the lookout for
few spoilers down the line
monalee I tell you can I don’t know you
have up stoney a Mercator y’all could
walk up things on a con number 10 card
captor sakura sakura kinomoto is quest
to seek out and capture the cloud cards
balance fantastical action with more
than its fair share of heartfelt moments
did Sakura do this so what did the anime
do better
while the original manga only had 19
cards for Sakura to snatch the anime
went balls to the wall by adding more to
create a total of 52 granted some of
this results in filler but it also
extends the universe and allows for more
meaningful interactions with our
characters case in point
Sakura and Saiyans relationship is given
time to breathe and build resulting in a
much sweeter payoff
number nine Kuroko no basket music
comical milk a manga that knows the ins
and outs of a specific sport combined
with a cast of indefinable characters
that sounds pretty good right an anime
that brings the fast-paced moments of
said sport to another level along with
sad cast that sounds like perfection
yep the anime adaptations in the
sporting darkness seems to go hand in
hand and few have transcended to the
screen better than Kuroko and Kagami
battles against the generation of
miracles
[Music]
it also managed to go beyond what the
mangas conclusion offered and gave every
major player a proper send-off how’s
that for a slam dunk
[Applause]
[Music]
did it break food wars shokugeki no
souma shuns Aggies art work is
undoubtedly striking and manages to
deliver images that will dazzle you both
with its portrayal of food as well as
it’s rather bust characters however as
with Sports anime the animation totally
transforms the subject matter the way
the series portrays food isn’t only a
marvel for the eyes but it will likely
stir all your senses until your time for
a bite to eat
well I’ll go to you you sure you be free
shoot
I killed sin but also considering how
heavily the show relies on visual
metaphors to describe how said food
brings about such pleasure the enemy is
the way to go if you want to see the
food chasms in all their juicy glory
number seven mob psycho 100 yeah
hats off to the folks at Studio bones
for giving us an adaptation that totally
aced the source material and its
signature quirkiness the goofy yet
endearing art style the manga is known
for is preserved beautifully in the
characters like mob and Regan crazy
exaggerations and all
however what raises it above its printed
page counterpart is how they handle the
fight scenes when mob lets his inner
expert loose the anime goes full-on
psychedelic almost abstract in the way
it conveys the destruction that follows
the anime truly bares its teeth during
these amazing sequences number 6 planets
[Music]
elting trash has never looked more
spectacular in a slight departure from
the manga which chooses to take the
slice of life approach involving a group
of interstellar debris retrievers the
anime instead off to look at the grander
scheme of things putting emphasis on the
political subplot and a spotlight on the
conflict with terrorists while each of
our characters still gets the careful
development st. needs the switch in
focus injects a fresh dose of tension
and action without losing the humanity
the crew brought to the forefront
number five k on what did you think
talk about blunt we could go on about
how the anime really brings the cuteness
of the girls from the light music club
to life how their quirks and sense of
friendship really blooms when shown
through the lens of the series is crisp
and adorable animation style weird the
light music club we’re holding a
performance to welcome new students now
please be sure to come now but the only
point we really have to make is that in
the anime you get to hear the actual
music while great writing and art can
certainly illustrate a performance it’s
a whole other thing to actually hear the
instruments put into practice
[Applause]
number four a soggy drop or ten to
Kritika as our two lost souls to
functional adults daikichi and the
adorably illegitimate rin find each
other we’re treated to a tale of love
acceptance and what it means to be a
parent the fluffiness of their
interactions and earnest good will make
the whole show and delight to watch so
how’s the manga compare well let’s just
say there’s a very good reason as to why
the anime ended before the time-skip
fair warning ends if you don’t want to
see that kiichi and RINs relationship
take a much more adult turn then stay
far far away will my moto sumo hmm
number three JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
looking back we have a lot to thank this
iteration of Jojo for it introduced us
to the phenomenal villain and future
meme star deal brando while protagonist
jonathan joestar’s sense of gentlemanly
conduct made him a protagonist so vastly
different from his descendants that he
remains fondly flattering
did you go over cut immortal dick
doesn’t do it on allcom sure this all
stems from hirohiko Araki ‘he’s writing
both in the emotional complexity of d
jojo conflict as well as the narratives
more eccentric aspects that being said
the artwork of phantom blood is yeah a
bit updated
luckily the anime managed to modernize
this and turn the first of JoJo’s
exploits into a true diamond in the
rough
number two attack on Titan as we’ve seen
the storytelling of this hit manga packs
just as much of a punch as its vast
array of cannibalistic Giants however
even with it’s almost detective style
approach the anime adaptation knocks it
right out of the park in terms of sheer
scale all while maintaining the overall
themes of survival and hopelessness
the fast-paced movements of the
three-dimensional maneuver gear the
crazy fights between Aaron and the other
Titan shifters basically everything that
Levi does it all comes together in a
collage of bloody animation but easily
surpasses the grimness of the manga
[Applause]
number one in Tama to this day this
manga is continuing to push out
outrageous humor and fourth-wall
predicts Teddy’s Deadpool would be proud
of so how could an anime adaptation
possibly beat it by taking things even
further that’s how with the added bonus
of having such spot-on voice work the
cast of characters never fail to put a
smile on audiences faces with their
various misadventures direct addresses
to the audience and even discussions
about the failings of the anime itself
authority to karate on one of the most
ni u bc o kinfe o and the times that the
action scenes do take place they turn
out to be some of the enemy’s best
