about the anime adaptation

i got lowkey got flamed alive in a forum discussing the anime so i’m wondering if anyone here feels the same.

i’m not one to insist the manga is always better but in this instance, i couldn’t get through the anime without cringing… i just hated the pacing and how trope-ified everything became in the anime. it felt like watching witch hat atelier go through layers of stereotyping and anime cliches. granted i watched the show in sub, and i heard the voice acting in the dub is actually fantastic, so i may have to watch it in dub instead, but the japanese voice acting was very “i’m voice acting and this is my voice acting voice” if you get what i mean?

i do love the animation and it was amazing to see how fluid it was, i’m just questioning the storyboard. i don’t know how to explain but it just felt like they ripped panels straight from the manga and animated it panel by panel instead of creating a unique storyboard that actually flowed like a show.

but you tell me, should i just give the show a second chance or does anyone feel similar to me???

    Genuinely what are you smoking? I’d love to take a hit of whatever you have if it means I could state my bad takes as confidently as you do.

    what’s wrong with my take though? i tried it and just didn’t like it. should i have prefaced my opinion that im shaking and trembling instead of “confidently stating my take”?
