samoyedloverforev.bsky.social @samoyedloverforev.bsky.social · 2hI will say a major issue is they made Noriko more ditzy in these first few episodes compared to her characterization in the manga, and overall it would have been BAD if they removed the language barrier plot point as that’s really integral to the story beats of the manga overall 020
samoyedloverforev.bsky.social @samoyedloverforev.bsky.social · 2hDecided to pick up where I left off with the From Far Away manga in light of the idiotic changes the anime show runners said they wanted to make to the story (thank goodness Hikawa stuck up for her source material‘s unique qualities) 030
samoyedloverforev.bsky.social @samoyedloverforev.bsky.social · 3hThat’s just weird. The point of animation to realize the fantastical! Galactic Hero and Gundam were absolute juggernauts and very sci-fi. Heck, foreign travel in anime has also been a thing for a while, they just add an accent to the dialog spoken at the laziest and it still gets the point across 031

samoyedloverforev.bsky.social @samoyedloverforev.bsky.social · 3hGenuine Question, why would they ever think making something MORE generic is the way to go???? It’s honestly a credit to Hikawa’s writing that the anime story is still fairly compelling even with the watering down/clumsifying of Noriko’s character 191
