Even though the Undead Unluck adaptation is good, the manga is better.
Constant flashbacks ruin the anime experience.
The manga is one of the best ongoing shounen series.
Before we say anything else, we’d like to point out that the Undead Unluck anime is indeed great. But it doesn’t mean we cannot admit that it’s one of the common examples of “manga was better.”
No waiting
There are actually a number of advantages to reading the manga. The most obvious one, of course, is that you don’t have to wait long to find out what happens in the story.
Season 2 of the anime hasn’t been confirmed yet, so we don’t even know whether we will ever see it or not. On top of that, even if we do, there will be about a year of waiting, so the manga is always the best choice for the impatient ones.
Manga’s pacing is better
But this is not the only thing that makes the Undead Unluck manga so special. Manga readers praise the art of the source material and say that it provides more depth into the story and its characters. The pacing feels more natural and the worldbuilding is really one of a kind.
It doesn’t mean the anime adaptation is butchering all of that. On the contrary, a lot of manga readers say that it’s a faithful adaptation. But we can’t ignore some of its flaws. Especially the pacing.
Fans admit that the story in the anime is moving too slowly, and they feel like Season 1 could have told a bigger portion of the manga. And there’s one thing that especially drags the series out: constant repetitions.
Undead Unluck episodes tend to include multiple flashbacks with previous events of the story. It’s gotten so ridiculous that there are sometimes flashbacks right in the middle of an episode instead of just a simple “previously on…” that we often see in other series.
If not for the flashbacks, the adaptation would be a good number of chapters ahead, and this is upsetting. The manga, of course, doesn’t have it, so nothing will distract you from the story.
Undead Unluck fans compare the manga to such media giants as Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man and think that this series could be able to compete even with them due to how well-thought-out and well-told it is.
And they’re saddened by the fact that the anime isn’t getting enough traction and not so many people are actually talking about it.
It’s not that the anime adaptation is bad, it’s just upsetting that it failed to become big and succeed in promoting the manga that deserves so much attention.
Sorry, but the manga was better.
