Anime And Manga Differences

(1/3) > >>

Cardcaptor Takato:
Are there any major differences between the Tsubasa anime and the manga?  You see, there's a lot of manga I'm reading right now and most of them are fairly long series.  I've wanted to swap up titles and read something different, so I temporarily dropped a couple of the manga series I was reading but will come back to later so I can read something different for a change.  One of these was Tsubasa.  I dropped reading the Tsubasa manga because I was watching the anime and reading the manga, but so far I hadn't noticed any real major differences between the manga and the anime (I've only read the first three volumes of the manga).  What I was wondering if there are any major differences between the anime and the manga later on?  If you can, can you list what these differences are?  And do you think I should keep reading the manga even if I've already seen the first season of the anime?  Or do you think I should just stick to watching the anime and come back to reading the manga again at a later time when I'm done reading other series?

Pikari:
So far I haven't noticed any real plot-changing differences. They've been faithful enough with that, but there have been quite a few changes.
-Episode 16 and 26 were both 'filler worlds', that they never went to in the manga.
-In Koryo, Sakura was never 'possessed' by Chunhyang's mother like she was in the anime.
-In Outo, Oruha never came to Cat's Eye and made Sakura sing for her... Oruha and Sakura never met in the manga.
Also... Sakura never hears the feathers 'calling' her, like she does in the anime.
There are more... but those are the big ones I can think of at the moment.

I would definitely read the manga if you can! The anime is okay, but it cuts out so many good scenes and dialogue, especially the humor. And if you want to see the whole gang getting drunk (twice!) definitely read the manga. ^__^

*Keru*:
A know some difference:

-  Sakura never wakes up in Hanshin in the manga.  So she never fly like she did in the anime.
-  In Outo Sakura don't disappear from that country with Shaoran like what happen in the anime.  She was sleep all the time so Kurogane carry her until they get to the country with the park. (I forgot the name right now))
-  Other thing in the country with the Park they didn't stay to finish with the demons.  After Seishirou left they did the same.  Not like in the anime that they stay and fight all the demons.

And there are others but right now I don't remember.  The thing is Sakura in the anime is having a more relevant participation helping to find her feathers.  But I still think that the manga is better.  In the anime left many things behind that are important to the develop of the story.

Meowzy:
you guys are forgetting the biggest difference of all!
Alcohol!

the gang got incredibly drunk in Outo! (and they got drunk in later worlds too. but we haven't gotten that far in the anime yet) well, okay, Syaoran Sakura and Fai got drunk. Kurogane had to send them off to bed. Looks like he can handle sake!

Edit: Oh, it was mentioned. eheh. ohwell. it deserves a post of its own. we've been deprived of the best scene ever! i wanted to see them get drunk, anime style! V_V

Sakaki:
Yeah, that sucked, I really wanted to hear Daisuke Namikawa nyaa! ^_^
And CLAMP does seem to have a thing for getting their characters drunk.
They also like to make small bonus chapters showing themselves getting drunk at the
end of some of their manga. :lol: I think the CLAMP ladies like sake.

If I had to choose, I'd much rather read the manga than watch the anime.
The characters have so much more depth in their feelings and expressions. I like to
stay as pure to the real story as possible. So I would suggest reading the manga.
I think as it gets more involved, the anime could actually stray more.
