I agree, not only that, I don't really like the localization they do to air it in Japan, it's just like my dislike of watching dubs over subs. ORV is one of my favorites, so I hope it really gets adapted well.
On the other hand, Chinese animation really do bring a lot more unique features. I've really taken a liking to their animation style.
Btw, who made me a princess was being made into Donghua, and I've watched the trailer (Chinese), we'll see how it goes
I wholeheartedly agree with you!!! I didn't know about the anime adaptation, I'll probably only take a peek at it just because I'm curious about the art style :3
I'm actually not the type to even watch movie adaptations of books because I feel like they miss out on too much details that I love from the original writing.
For webtoon, especially ORV, I think it's going to be kind of difficult to adapt it into an animation because of the length? Because the webtoon is already an adaptation from a webnovel, (i really do need to find the time to read it) I think they will probably have to cut back on a lot of the details from the original, trying to fit so much into the short episodes. I already know that the webtoon itself doesn't have all the precise details as the webnovel, but I've heard that ORV webtoon is not even halfway done right now!! and there's already been so much action and storyline.
I can't imagine they will be able to fit all the amazing scenes, the intricate storytelling, relationships and bonds, into an animation. Probably why we feel there is a vast difference in tone and format.
I was wondering what other think of webtoon adaptation into anime ?
I must say that to me, apart from Donghua adaptations of bl, I'm really not convinced, it feels like anime format doesn't fit the webtoon format AT ALL, it kinda just makes the story bland and doesn't manage to show the tone of the story.
I'm happy there is an adaptation of the omniscient reader's Viewpoint in 2025 for the author, but at the same time I don't really think I will watch it because I feel like it will not be really good compared to the novel and the webtoon because it just doesn't fit that kind of story.
What do you think ?
