>Anime covers parts of first volume, but plot is nothing like the LN since it was just a bunch of battles.
>Volume 1 apparently all a dream by Haruhiko.
>Volume 2 takes place in the future where adult Haruhiko fights a war against Phantoms. He fails to kill this one phantom named Rupa who kills off 2/3 of the human population INCLUDING THE MAIN GIRLS!
>Volume 2 Summary: The remainder of humanity lives in an underground city. Haruhiko blames himself for the apocalypse with Mai, Reina, and others as his mental supports. As his friends fall one by one, Haruhiko swears that even if he gives his soul to the devil, he will eradicate the Phantoms. As he is swallowed by the darkness of revenge, Haruhiko rises to use a forbidden ability in hopes to finally end the struggle.
>Volume 3 shows the deceased girls on the cover as well as new characters. Haruhiko might of used a forbidden ability to travel back in time to prevent the war from happening?
Overall, holy shit this anime could of been a good anime if the whole plot was adapted instead of catering to the fan service damn
Why do people praise Kyoani for this when they did one of the worst adaptions known to man?
They fucked up the entire plot
>>139358942
Kyoani is the most overrated studio, ever.
They should flash forward and complete FULL METAL PANIC!
>>139359062
Not gonna happen
>>139358942
>Kyoani is shit
>the Pope is catholic.
>>139358942
this show has a plot ?
>>139359101
Well someone is. FMP 4 was announced last year.
>>139358942
I fail to see an issue here
>>139359279
Kyoani is focusing in their own IPs, it's extremelly unlikely that they'll adapt FMP
>>139358942
Kyoani owns the publishing company that the novels came from.
They OWN the story, they can do whatever they fuck they want.
>>139359354
>They OWN the story, they can do whatever they fuck they want.
Just because they can do what they wan't doesn't mean they aren't doing shit
KyoAni being void of any artistic integrity is hardly anything new.
>>139359386
that's deal anon "they make shit" for successful marketing.
>>139358942
Just because the actual phantom world thread is rightfully slamming the shitty source material doesn't mean you'll get anything different from making your own thread, anon
>>139358942
Assuming what you said is true, KyoAni fuck themselves, HARD.
I keep pressing right button on keyboard except on last 2 episodes.
Moreover, last episode's battle is goddamn gorgeous.
>>139358942
http://pastebin.com/Z2W3UTw2
OP's summary is not very accurate.
>>139359594
Shocking.
Nobody beats Kyoani's epic animation quality though.
>>139358942
Not like it matters anyway, vol 2 sounds like shit.
>>139359594
What a steaming hot pile of fecal matter that LN is.
They arent called Kyoanus for nothing
>>139359594
sounds better than the anime
>>139359637
You mean it sounds like the shit.
>>139359878
You have an incredible shitty taste.
>kyonaus ruining even their own crap tier literature
>it flops
Pottery. Not even their comfort zone is safe now.
>>139359917

the LN is better than the anime
>>139358942
who's the girl on the cover?
>>139359166
holy fucking shit dude 10/10 joke man wow grats on that one
>>139359953
That's wrong simply for the fact that the anime is shorter. They're both garbage but at least the anime is inoffensive and short.
>>139359988
The LN is short unless you are shit at reading
>>139359835
I want nothing more than to smother Kurumi with big fluffy bears

>>139359594
What the actual fuck, thats edgy as hell.
>anime is completely different from ln
>no one wants to buy both anime and ln, they're not even charted
Kyoani, gods of marketing.
>>139359953
It never ceases to amaze me how the normalshits think edge = good/mature
>>139360133
what
>>139360133
My problem with it, is not the edge. Is the fucking grimderpness,teenage tier angst, fucking asspulls, nonsensical shit.
If I want the above I read 40k.
Nice fanfic, faggot.
>>139360119
Why would it even chart? They're a small publishing house not ASCII
>>139360066
Except the grim edge MC dies at the end because the Real MC woke up and fused with him. Also Origin Haruhiko steals Another Haruhiko's harem as well.
This is how I know you didn't read the real summary.
>>139360337
>Except the grim edge MC dies at the end because the Real MC woke up and fused with him.
This is what I said was a fucking asspull. But nice try at defending this shit mate.
>>139360366
what asspull?
>>139360366
There is no such things as asspulls when you are a fucking reality warper mate.
>>139360337
>Except the grim edge MC dies at the end because the Real MC woke up and fused with him. Also Origin Haruhiko steals Another Haruhiko's harem as well.
what the fuck am i reading?
>>139360366
It winned Kyoani prize, after all.
>>139360408
http://pastebin.com/Z2W3UTw2
Remember when KyoAni was praised for their great adaptations?
I know they own the properties and can make their own call on changing the story etc but I find it sad that they're completely abandoning the good reputation they set for themselves in the 00's and early 10's. In the case of Phantom World aside from animation the story of the adaptation looks like a plain insult to the original.
>>139360066
God fucking around seems to be a thing in Japan
Gekiranger had a God who made a bunch of people fight a war because he was bored.
>>139360486
Japanese Gods usually do shit in japan, unlike western ones
>there are people on /a/ right now who think KyoAni is the best studio
>>139360477
Never? Because everyone says all their "adaptations" are improvements. That's not even adaptations, that's "Kyoani anime".
>>139360477
the original is some edgy chuuni shit so it should be insulted
>>139360552
What do you mean anon? It's so ridiculous it loops around to being a comedy.
>>139360420
It didn't win it was an honorable mention or some shit, only Violet Evergarden has ever won that thing.
>>139360538
>everyone says all their "adaptations" are improvements
You aren't everyone. ChuuKoi Ren was heavily panned.
>>139359594
Sounds like Ishihara did the right thing. He literally said fuck you and instead of making another KnK he just made a fun, episodic show. It worked out really, PW is ten times as good as KnK and Chuu combined.
>>139360538
>Because everyone says all their "adaptations" are improvements.
Endless 8.
One of the shortest chapters in the entire series.
>>139360674
I wouldn't call it better than KnK or Chuu, they're all different shows and I like them all for different reasons.
>>139358942
So this is the part where we pretend that the LN is good just to shit on Kyoani? Common anon I cant take your opinion seriously. Not after you admit you like this generic fanfic tier LN.
I mean of all the things that Kyoani do wrong you decide to complain about them for not making a faithful adaptation of a mediocre source material.
What you should be complaint is the fact they insist in adapting shitty source material like Phantom World just to avoid paying royalties.
>>139360674
I dunno, I thought PW is even worse than KnK.
>>139360742
Of course Kyoani knows better. Can't wait to see how they will improve this shitty fanfic tier Koe no Katachi manga no one cares about.
>>139359594
Sounds edgy. I like it.
>>139359594
So technically, they don't ruin the LN's plot yet. I mean they can continue the anime with vol 2&3's plot if they want.
>>139360814
PW is a lot better than KnK, there wasn't any unnecessary episodes, the OC characters improved the story and introduced the themes, it doesn't need an OVA or movie to introduce things that should've been there in the first place and most importantly the MC is a lot better too
>>139360674
>instead of making another KnK
Funny because Kyoukai no Kanata had a few detrimental changes made to the story as well.
>>139360814
Maybe if KnK wouldn't have taken itself so serious. Ishidate is a good director but KnK was just all around shit.
>>139360814
Really? I thought it was better. Didn't have some glasses character I grew to hate.
>>139358942
>Volume 3 shows the deceased girls on the cover as well as new characters. Haruhiko might of used a forbidden ability to travel back in time to prevent the war from happening?
Sounds like deus ex machina shit
>>139360917
Who cares though? I was comparing the two shows, not light novels.
>>139360955
Someday everyone will stop hating on poor Mirai;_;
>>139360823
Koe no Katachi? I don't know if kyoani is going to make a good show out of it or they going to fuck it up again. But only normalfags and people that almost never read manga think is masterpiece. The story deteriorates halfway, the melodrama is ridiculous and Shouko is a living punching bag. Is a shame because the premise was interesting but the execution was terrible
>>139360913
>the OC characters improved the story
Ruru is one of the shittiest characters in kyoani history
>>139358942
>That story
God why are LNs plots so retarded? Why cant studios cant animate actual novels? Oh right. Money
>>139361301
butthurt shipperfag
>>139361305
OP is lying idiot
That sounds terrible and I can see why they chose not to adapt it
>>139361301
I literally cannot agree with this subjective opinion
>She wants to destroy the entire world, summon a new one using Haruhiko's ability and in the new world, become Haruhiko's real mother and give birth to him.
Pardon me for saying this but
top fucking kek.
>>139361305
There are quite a lot of anime based on actual novels though
>>139359594
Man, I kinda love story like this where the main protagonist literally suffering and (almost) fighting alone to save the world. That's why I Steins;Gate and MuvLuv is still my favorite VN.
For this season I'm hyped for Re:Zero because of this reason.
>>139361323
I don't give half a fuck about shipping, but Ruru's main shtick was to be annoying as fuck for most of the series
>>139360913
>there wasn't any unnecessary episodes
Yet PW had plenty of them.
>>139361407
13, to be exact
>>139359594
Jesus Christ, what did I just read? Even if the anime was shit, the LN is just as shitty or worse.
>>139361305
But KyotoAni did animate 2 novels in the last 5 years.
>>139359594
Truely atrocious.
>>139361305
Anime is generally aimed at a young adult audience and light novels are just Japanese young adult fiction
Also it's harder to sell a novel that comes out every few years than a regularly releasing LN series
>it will be Kyoani's next BIG thing, they said
>it's a straight sci-fi novel with actual plot, they said
>it's definitely not highschool chuuni battle harem with superpower kids, they said

Gays are not welcome.
fuck off back to kibikeks
Kadokawa LNs are much beter than Kyoani LNs.
Who the hell wants to be published by small company and then get an anime adaptation of your work, totally butchered and ruined?
Of course be published by Kyoani may be easier because Kadokawa has high quality standards.
>>139362216
It's your average edgefest anime plot. Stop pretending we don't get these type of LNs and anime every season.
>>139362253
>Kadokawa has high quality standards
>>139362253
No LN publishing company has any standard. The only enjoyable LN was FMP and that was before it went full on edge.
>>139362407
Never read or watched anything like this. Not even a huge anime watcher. These days I only watch the occasional KyotoAni anime.
>>139362253
Aspiring authors don't usually get to pick and choose who they want to publish their works
KyoAni gives the author published works and the attention of a lot of fans, while the author gives KyoAni a story they don't have to pay much for. It works well enough.
>>139362501
Fuck off
>>139362472
FMP went full edge?
>>139362472
>The only enjoyable LN was FMP
>>139362528
No you fuck off. This shit is literal garbage bin tier. This mediocrity shouldn't even be tolerated.
>>139362569
Seriously fuck off, watch more anime and lurk for a year before posting, fucking crossboarder.
>>139362524
Where are the lot of Phantom World LN fans? Who even can name the author without google?
>>139362617
This may come as a surprise to you, but random foreigners on 4chan aren't the target audience
>>139362617
>who can name a polynesian canoe art carver without googling?
>>139362653
He doesn't understand that concept. He's a filthy /v/ermin who probably watches westaboo shit that airs on toonami.
>>139362617
99% of /a/ users can't even read the novels
Well they had 13 episodes I don't know what you expected OP.
If they try and do Volume 2 it will just leave a cliff hanger shit ending.
I don't know what else they could have done, A dream would have been infuriating too. The actual plot does sound interesting but if they crammed all this shit into 13 episode it would be a huge fucking mess.
>>139362668
Tanigawa Nagaru, Monji Gotoh, Kawakami Minoru and Kamachi still exist.
Face the truth, no one actually cares about the Phantom LN.
>>139362599
>You should watch more garbage so that you can lower your standards and accept mediocrity.
No you nigger. I enjoy SoLs and the occasional KyotoAni enjoyable show and OW was enjoyable and campy but the LN summary posted belongs on shit like Wattapad and fanfiction.net not being published.

Original LN sounds stupid.
They could have just made the whole show like the last 2 episodes. More serious and with overarching plots, but not full on grimdark.
>>139362764
3 Volumes is too little content for other studios to adapt in a single cour. I mean DanMachi had 2 volumes in a single episode.
>>139362939
Haruhi was fun but the anime was even more enjoyable. Such a shame it ended.
>>139363086
It depends on the series, there is no set rule on how much is a good idea to cram in to a certain number of episodes.
>Haruhi first volume was adapted to 6 episodes
>now each Kyoani show is 1 volume adapted to 12-13 eps
Hmmm, why their recent shows are full of animeonly fillers and filler characters? I literally have no idea.
>>139363277
Haruhi at the time had much more than 2 volumes published at the time they started working on it.
>>139363277
Different business strategy? A lot has changed since 2006, both for Kyoaus and for the industry as a whole
Stop hatin Kyoani ;_;

I think the problem isn't that not enough people have watched Lucky Star as much as it's that not enough people are familiar with the source material to know that the anime was largely original.
As they should be of course, since the source material sucks hairy donkey balls.
>>139363541
I'm glad for that, nothing was really lost
>>139363541
>remember when /a/ was good?

Holy shit, Lucky Star was a pure cancer. Glad it's not 2007 and no one pretends to like it now.

At least Phantom LN has plot.
Phantom anime has nothing.
Phantom anime was fun, generic chuuni battle harem is never fun.
I'm glad they learned from the KnK mistake.

Okay sorry, never mind, this sounds like garbage
>>139358942
Phantom World's light novels sounds awesome. KyoAni dropped the ball hard when they decided to stray so far from the source material. It's like we got the Disney rewrite version or some shit.

Or they could just condense all that fedora tipping/edginess into a few episodes as told from a 'survivor' of the AU, maybe from an OC like a redeemed Enigma. That way, it technically followed canon while doing its own usual SoL thing.

I don't know if this is true but it certainly sounds way better than what we had here. Although technically if KyoAni made a second season, it wouldn't change anything from the plot, just names and some characters.
Thanks anon, Volume 2 sounded super edgy but it's not as bad as some made it sound.

That's because the ADHD kids couldn't sit still for 3 hours.
>>139372795
That's not interesting. That not interesting at all. That shit is finding long lost fanfiction posted on ff.net i had written during my edgy teenager phase but I can no longer remember my password so I can't even delete it tier type of writing. It embodies the worst aspects of chuunism.

>It's edgy and serious so I hate it
I'm sure you guys say the say thing to Tsukihime and Fate series, right?
>>139372932
I don't think ADHD kid could stand wathcing the original airing order.
>>139372991
Fate is complete garbage, yes. The fact that you think Fateshit is good destroys any credibility you might have had.
>>139373024
You're kidding right, the fact that the plot flies around so much in the first season would be appealing to them.

>edgy garbage
I smell troll.
The edgy fanfiction dot com nonsense can still be worked into a movie. It only adapted the first novel and LNfag said they followed the basic plot/structure anyway.

>And then Touma died a gorrillian times and suffered for infinity all at once but he came back to life inside the endless hell because he's such a fucking badass and the he punched god in the face and he's so fucking cool!
Yeah, it's edgy garbage.
Some KyoAnifags sure are hypocrites for enjoying edgy Kyoukai no Kanata, but blast Phantom World's LN being edgy.

No please stop.

Fuck off back to your hugbox.

None of that had anything to do with edgy, shitposter-kun. Touma got tortured and had to struggle to hold himself together. His struggle was a testament to human will, but he isn't invincible and nearly fell into complete despair if it wasn't for a certain girl who gave him the push he needed to get back on track. Touma's battle was a battle of ideals, and he won. In terms of power, Othinus had every advantage and could use it and she did, but she fell to the affects of the fairy spell that weakened her. Regardless, the match wasn't settled by power, but ideals. Nice job showing you are nothing but a troll.

I've legitimately sworn if off after they managed to bungle hibikek. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt or any such thing.
I don't usually play company wars either. It takes a lot to get favoured it takes even more to get black listed. What a joke Kyoani was become.
>>139361707
Around the first episodes there were people claiming it wasn't harem though.
>>139373545
>13 year old raildexfags actually this delusional
Hot damn
>>139373606
Tsukihime is literally Twilight-tier garbage.
>>139373648
How did Hibike of all things offend your tastes so badly that it got on your exclusive "blacklist?"
>>139373863
Because he's retarded.

KyoAny blew it. I'm glad the flopped. Maybe next time they will think twice before churning out another poor, water-down kiddy adaption.
>>139372986
glad about*
I can't tell if there are trolls trolling trolls in here or there are actually PWfags who thinks the anime is good and better than the novel
>>139373789
Here's your reply.
>>139373863
It was the straw that broke the camel's back. They could have done it so many ways. I went in expecting Brass Band K-on, and got corrected. I started enjoying the 'whiplash' vibe and then it just devolved into yuri bait and relationshit. I mean even the trumpet showdown was about muh senpai and muh mop haired teacher.
It didn't deliver on comfy and cute, it didn't deliver on drama and tension, it didn't deliver on fan service, it was passable on music.
Waste of time.
Worse still it was completely over hyped and kyoanifags sung its praises from the highest mountains along with the yurifags after all the pointless bait.
Not the worse thing they've done, certainly not horrible. However, it was bad enough to confirm the trend Kyoani seems so desperate to set for themselves.
>>139374086
Here's your reply.
>>139374086
Both.

>i dont like it because it doesnt pander to me
>>139374086
Trolls. Bored trolls who are waiting to move onto the next season's ride.
Absolutely sure if Kyoani would go full edgy plot /a/ would be full of "WHAT A TWEEST", "A+TIER SUFFERING, I LIKE IT", "TYBKA" and "FINALLY KYOANI BECOME A STUDIO FOR THINKING AND MATURE PEOPLE LIKE ME" stuff.
Your double standards are rudiculous, sempais.
>>139374196
>pandering
The only people it pandered to was yurifags. If that's you then congrats if not what is there in it for you. I mean really. Pandering aside, as I've said, it doesn't really do much at all and what it does manage to do is tonally inconsistent.
It doesn't really deserve much if any praise and yet it's heralded as the second coming.
I will say one thing good about it. The character designs were perfect. That alone was divine, the art was otherwise standard fair modern kyo complete with 'not traced' realistic outdoor scenery and backgrounds that the characters floated across with no real bearing.
>>139374111
So you don't like it because you dislike stories about relationships. I mean that's fine but that doesn't say anything about the show. You say it doesn't deliver but it contains a fantastic character story with compelling, interesting interactions and characters. Not liking something is fine but you don't get to be mad because the show isn't a genre you like.
>>139374402
Their "fantastic" relationships looks like a cheap melodrama, to be honest. Sure you like it because yuri implications.
>>139374402
It's not that either. I've watched shows entirely about relationships
Perhaps I shouldn't have used short hand but relationshit is basically where all the other positive aspects of the show are swallowed up or start to revolve around relationships. Especially if the show didn't start with or foreshadow that type of tone
UFO started with far more than relationships but devolved into it. As such I found the focus to be pretty shallow as they essentially used it to bridge the rest of the luke warm plot together. It was utilized in its own regard really
Hibike was the sort of show where you can like most of the components at a glance but when you watch it they're poorly done or too few and far between
I know it's a waste of breath to discuss it in a thread with mostly kyoanifags but I genuinely thought it failed to live up to its potential. And not for any pandering reasons. I've watched romance shows, hell I've watched yuri. It was a Jack of all King of none.
>>139374544
I think you're the only one preoccupied by yuri here.
>>139374715
To be fair, the yurifags were insufferable.
