Anime as an adaptation. Anime‘s approach to the original source

Anime is a big part of Japanese culture. While some anime have original storylines, most of them are adapted from various other sources. The goal of this research is to find out how anime that are based on other sources approaches the original work. For this researched many manga and Light Novels were read, as well as many anime’s were watched and analysed. However, because of the sheer numbers of anime adaptations, only a few titles will be discussed and analysed in this research. These anime titles have however, very different approaches and will give the reader a general idea as to how anime as an adaption works. The research will begin with introduction on anime and manga, in order for the reader to understand the context of this research better. It will then be constructed into chapters. Each chapter will begin with discussing the anime’s original source, then the anime itself. The chapters will then end with analysing the differences between the original and the anime and the reasons for those differences.
