[Spoilers] Triage X - Episode 1 [Discussion]

As someone who is completely impartial to this entire ordeal, I understand both sides. However, I'm going to side with most people here I think.

When anime differs from manga, it does bother me. It's sort of a slap in the face to all of the people who, you know, actually made the anime possible to begin with.

Going beyond that, the new design doesn't even make sense. They're supposed to be assassins as I understand it, but they sure in the hell don't look like assassins.

I mean, if you showed me the two images without any context, I'd pick the chubbier version, but that's because I feel like it's more realistic and relatable. But now that I know the context, the art style just makes no sense and it breaks immersion which is really the whole point behind having characters be realistic and relatable. And if you don't think that's important, think a bit harder on the themes of most anime.

I also don't want this to be positively received because of what it is. This is nothing more than a cheap sellout to appeal to the potential masses, because anime is a pretty competitive business and businesses will always do whatever makes them the most money. But here's the thing, if you don't care because you aren't a fan of the manga, then what about manga or other written material that you do care about? What if they change things in the adaptions of those ones in order to increase mass appeal? So I really hope that people have more integrity and intelligence than these companies believe people have, because otherwise start learning to cross your fingers. When you don't care about others, they don't care about you. Though, it very well could be that people really are cheap and ultimately uncaring so long as they have some form of shallow, mindless content to consume.

And on a strictly more personal note, I genuinely am becoming extremely tired of ridiculously unrealistic proportioned tits. Seriously, the ones in the manga are legitimately huge anyways, why on earth was there a need to make them bigger? I really don't get it.
