Oh how they massacred the manga.

So after finding out they will make another season of this. I decided to read the manga. And it was absolutely one of the best manga I've read. But what a HORRIBLE adaptation of the manga.

This lacked what made the manga great. The MC is missing, it's pov (manga wasn't), characters are missing, plot is missing, character progression is missing, the charm is missing. The substance is here but the STYLE is MISSING. THIS IS JUST DISAPPOINTING

First off, Issei (MC) is missing. What made the manga great was completely replaced by a stupid POV. The stupidly absurd dialogue of ... Issei about wanting to see the panties of the girls is what made this manga charming. The biggest offender is that they made the POV look like an asshole. Issei believe it or not was a good guy. He was a genius, he had charisma, he was someone people loved and respected. BUT, the anime made it look like he was just a complete pervert who would bow his head and kneel down to see their panties. NO, my GOAT Issei would never do that. Sure he's a pervert, but he wouldn't beg someone for their panties.

THE PLOT. Usually, when Issei asked a girl to see their panties, he would get punched or slapped. He had to learn in order to make the girl like him before ultimately asking to see their panties again. The anime just basically removed that aspect of the plot that built the needed anticipation before Issei sees their panties giving the scene more OOMPH. Issei had to WORK hard to increase his likability with the other characters.

And speaking of the characters, most of the characters here are completely missing. Every episode is comprised of ONE (1) character. JUST ONE, the manga actually had character dynamics that made Issei's antics more fun. The maid from episode 1 actually helped him sees the panties of other girls and even taught him how to approach girls better in order to not get punched. And, most of the girls that eventually shows their panties actually likes him. They would expect Issei to do more than just see panties, but no, Issei is PURELY a guy who wants to see panties. That's all he wants to do. So they would often be dumbfounded that all he really did was look at their panties.

Overall, this is such a wasted potential. And I HOPE that the new anime project actually adapts the manga faithfully.
