Visual Novels / VN: Anime Versions - The VN Was Better
« on: July 12, 2011, 09:37:50 am »
Same basis as the manga version of the topic.
More recently the trend in anime has been toward making anime versions of visual novels.
There are some classic and universally lauded examples such as many of the works by Key/Kyoto Animation.
There are also some examples of great failures, such as the MADHOUSE adaption of the Nitro+ VN, ChäoS;HEAd.
Of course, visual novels DO include the subgenre of eroge. Two out of three KyoAni Key adaptions were originally eroge. There have been a number of eroge adaptions too.
What are your thoughts on the subject? What are other examples of visual novels that received animated versions? Is it a blasphemous act to even try to adapt eroge/VN's?
