Comment by Harlock on An Old Man From the Countryside Becomes a Swords Saint: I Was Just a Rural Sword Teacher, but My Successful Students Won't Leave Me Alone! - Chapter 36

@Harlock i think there some differences with the anime. do you know if this one follows the novels or is it the anime?

@Jindrich The Manga usually follows the light novel, while the anime tend to summarize and is more focused towards the actions of the story.

@Group9000 both manga and anime follows the LN, but the anime doing a fast pacing story...

@Kyaputen_Yami How was the anime following the light novel and the Manga, they killed the background stories, all I saw more screen time to the sword actions and little to everything else. All the anime said was I hope you were following the Manga because we won't explain it.

@Group9000 hahaha, it's not like 100% they follow the LN, because  Light novels are literature books you have to read it with your wildest imaganation (lol) to know the story, unlike mangas and animes you already seeing it what's happening, besides it's upto the manga artists and anime script writers how they adapt his/her novels since they got permission to do it, since it's all about time and money

@Kyaputen_Yami I completely understand that but cutting certain parts tend to change the relationship between characters for time and frame is lazy. I am quite aware that pictures are 1000 words and a motion picture are worth 1 millions words but changing certain situations then have these say that the anime is far ahead of the Manga because they only watch is counter-productive because the LN is waaay ahead of the anime. The Light Novel is the source material.

@Group9000 so you're saying I shouldn't watch the anime sold

@Night_lover  
I'm not saying you shouldn't watch if you do enjoy it. I know friends that do enjoy it but I don't like the pacing, condensing, and quickly advancing to action scenes or mech battles while cutting a lot of the meat and the anime hopes you read the Manga or light novel to get the backstory or fill in the holes the anime leaves behind.
I'm not the only ones here who wasn't been burned by Corporations coverting anime or games into live action movies that goes to a totally different direction.
