Differences between manga and anime thread

[Akonyl]

for the most part, the connections between episodes are pretty loose, so it doesn't matter hugely what order you watch it in, except for arcs. I would just watch it in anime order, as that's how it was broadcast, so it's probably how it's meant to be seen.

I noticed those diferences too, and i dont want to mess up because I want to watch the anime from the beggining, so what do you think is better????

1)Watch it as normal like : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7......

2)Watch it on manga order: 1,2,13,7,5,43....

There's no consistently optimal answer. The anime does rewrite or cut stuff that wouldn't make sense in its order of events, so in those cases it wouldn't matter or would make even less sense when trying to watch it in the original manga order. On the other hand the stories covered by episodes 76 and 84-85 were meant to take place after the stories covered by episode 96, and the anime actually keeps most of the relevant bits. Pretty easy to overlook that stuff even in the manga, and might not be important to you anyway, though.

I'll probably go into more detail about this eventually, since it is relevant to the thread. Being vague now in case you don't want to be spoiled.

suggestion: Watch the anime in order, however look for the chapters that 4 and 5 are based off of after you have seen them in anime form. Same thing for episode 13. But just watch it in anime order. Also, this is just a suggestion, but if this is your first time watching this series, you might want to add this to your favorites (http://www.dctp.ws/DC_Subbed_List.pdf) (only 6, 66, 128 are the only cases that you would need to see that aren't manga based (I also suggest watching 181-182 and 184 because they make a certain part of the plot of the next case seem less hilariously impossible)). It might be best to leave this forum if you want to avoid spoilers too.




also, cashman_11, you are somewhat correct. It seems that a lot of times it takes a year for a manga case to be in the anime instead of 6 months (especially when it is mentioned in a case that it is a certain season). Unless you mean when the case is released in volume form, in which case you are very accurate.

[cashman_11]

Yeah, there are definately some cases that have taken quite a while to become anime cases. (The real version of the Yen Robbery Case & the DB Case with the strange Code come to mind.)

...not what I meant although those ones did take a LOOOONG time. (like three years)

Some cases take a year. I'm pretty sure that the major story ones (the Pisco Case, 345 etc.) are the best examples as (from what I've heard), like in the anime, they started at the beginning of the year in the manga too. So, obviously those ones took a year. (345 was the first episode aired in 2004 so I think it was the first case of 2003 in the manga). However, many of them only took half a year since the cases don't always need to go in the same order as they did in the manga (there are still three manga cases to air this year before we get to what is basically our annual awesome plot related case, that will most likely air as the first episode/episodes of next year).

Another difference between manga and anime: the anime made the awesome decision of waiting to air the episodes that lead to 345 and ignoring a couple of cases like the one with that famous kid. Since there was a huge 2 hour special, having a bunch of episodes in a row that lead to it was brilliant and already worked beautifully in both the manga and anime after Forgotten Momento from the Crime. (also, it meant more episodes in the next year based off of the manga) They started the story around episode 226 and it is much longer than any of the other arcs (the fact that this site lists them as three seperate arcs (which is a good idea) proves that).

Of course, on the flipside, I think having 425 as a 2 hour special wasn't a good idea. Would have been more fun to have it as it's own mini arc like Desperate Revival or something (although it still kinda made sense since it was the conclusion of the CELL PHONE ARC).

[cashman_11]

Yeah, I agree. I think recently it has taken less time for cases since there has been a lot less filler though, there's only a filler case every 5 or 6 episodes, which I think is nice, especially because most of the filler lately is actually pretty decent. (Although, most of them are easy to solve case)

well I think that has to do with the fact that the anime is apparently only making 30 episodes a year now instead of 40. (makes sense since there are around 45 chapters made per year and three chapter cases (the most common amount of chapters used for a case in the manga) take two episodes)

There were a decent amount of AOs in 2007 but that was because there were four 1 hour specials and 1 two hour special.

one of difference i saw between manga and anime is in the episode blue spark of hate conan was talking to heiji about the case before, episode conan drink the prototype antidote drug in order to deceive ran again somewhat like that, then the case about the static occur. in manga that suppose to be a sushi case where in prof agasa intend to take the detective boys in a sushi house to lessen his expenses. I think this story is not in anime yet?

[kkslider5552000]

Oh I see why the random characterness of 515 was used.

Makes it seem more like everyone cares about what Kid is doing. Kinda like...guy whose name I forget from one of the earlier parts of Bleach where every character knew who he was. Volume 4 I think, episode 10 too?

[karisama]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this [and this isn't really very significant], but at the VERY first chapter, Shinichi and Ran are going home from school when Shinichi blabs on why he wanted to be a detective, why he likes Holmes etc. In the anime, they're going to school (during which Shin peeks up Ran's skirt by accident. This wasn't in the manga.]

Also, during the Bloody Venus guy murder case, when Ran meets "Shinichi" at his house, there's a hide-and-seek game in the manga. They removed this in the anime. D: (Or so I think, I'm not so sure.. -goes to watch-)

this is because they wanted to squeeze four chapters in one episode

Hmm... thread dead already?

Yukiko might be a Christian in the manga. The anime censors the religious symbol. (From Alike Princesses, ep333/vol40.ch10.)

[cashman_11]

I think it's just an outfit change. I noticed in Valentine's Day Murder case, when Ran and Makoto kick the criminal, they changed her outfit, in the manga she had on a shortskirt, in the anime, it was lengthened. Also, in the Titan high school ghost case, the part where Sonoko is put to slip and falls so that her panties are showing is changed. Originally, everyone noticed when she fell, but in the anime, Dr. Araide wonders if she is ok, then Ran notices her panties.

The Valentine's Day outfit change was also censorship of sorts, since it avoided the Ran karate kick crotch panty shot. Ski Lodge did the same thing. No panty/bra showing scenes seem to be allowed in the anime after the first year, so there are a lot of similar trivial fanservice diminishing changes.

On the other hand, the one panel chest-up shower scene in Desperate Revival became a waist-up pan in the anime, and the animators never had a problem showing the flashbacks to Ran's bath with Conan until very recently (Scar of First Love when they put Ran in a towel, only to show a whole tub full of implicitly naked men a bit later).

Nudity in implied sexual situations is too much for the anime, though. In the manga at least Ran knows what sex is (or at least that it involves getting naked at some point). Anime Ran might not know that...

Oh, while we're on this topic, the anime totally ruined this joke.

Spoiler:

(Full disclosure: I did edit out the last panel with the on-page cop-out. The rest is just as you see it. Aoyama was more brazen when he did that joke for Magic Kaito, since he at least kept the tease going until the next page.)

edit: And oh yeah, the budget cuts. They didn't hire Okino's seiyuu to sing that "Mirage" song...

From the recent ep...

I hated the way Sato was drawn in the anime that time

oh...... OH XDDD
I didn't notice that

Speaking of anime & manga differences, is there a complete list of unaired manga arcs and anime-only eps around here? Or even from another site... anything will do. Thanks
