Anime with multiple adaptations (and which one is best)

Summary

• One piece is set to restart with the name One piece To avoid the arches of the filling.
• Digimon Adventure (1999) is favored over 2020 for its comedy.
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood It is praised for being a faithful adaptation of manga.

Customize mango (or any other media) to anime It can be complicated. For mangoes, creators may want to earn the popularity of the series and do it in motion using anime. The problem is that many anime starts too early, which means that they inevitably catch up with mangoes and then have to include filling arches. Therefore, a lot of manga gets More anime adaptations.

One piece Anime is loved all over the world, but had its share in the arches. Therefore, Netflix plans to create a second adaptation that is restarted from the beginning, Volano One piece. It will eventually come out but let's look at another Anime adaptation with multiple versions and decide which one is better. None of these adaptations is bad because everyone offers fans something else.

Digimon Adventure (version 1999 wins)

Digimon are champions

Digimon She started as a franchise selling digital pets like Tamagotchi, in 1997. The first anime season, Digimon AdventureHe was released in 1999 and ran until 2000 and was a big hit at the international level when he reached North America.

Many of them may not even know, but it was restarted in 2020, running until 2021 and received more episodes than the original. Both versions follow a group of children who get into the digital world that meet digital monsters called Digimon. The 1999 version is better because it focuses more on the comedy, while the restart is a little more dramatic with some of its action sequences.

They differ very quickly

Fullmetal alchemist It began serialization as mangoes in 2001 and continued until 2010. It was adapted to Anime in 2003, which took place until 2004. Although it had a significant number of which it could have been working with, the anime was rapidly different from the alchemical manga to the original territory.

It was not surprising, given its popularity that it would receive a second adaptation, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoodwho broadcast between 2009 and 2010 and was a more faithful adaptation of manga. Not only the fact that the story of mango was only superior compared to the original 2003 original made several very strange turns with characters that are ridiculous in retrospect.

Hellsing (version 2001 wins)

No one is cooler than ALUCARD

• Directors: Umanosuke Iida, Yasunori Urata
• Studio: Gonzo
• Released: October 11, 2001 (Japan)
• Episodes: 13

Hellsing He had long -term mangoes, between 1997 and 2008, despite a series of vampire hunting consisting of only ten volumes. In 2001 it was adapted to OVA, took place until 2002 and quickly became a hit, although it was mostly the original adaptation.

A number of film eggs have been released since 2006 Hellsing Ultimatea more faithful adaptation of manga. The point is that the story of manga was not as entertaining as the original OVA concept from 2001, which is why many still prefer it.

Heroic Legend of Arslan (version 2015 wins)

An adaptation that has never been completed

• Director: Mamoru Hatsu
• Studies: Animated Film, Ig Tatsunoko
• Released: August 17, 1991 (Japan)
• Runtime: 60 minutes (movie)

Heroic legend Arslan It is a legendary series of novels made between 1986 and 2017. Over the years, many adaptations have been created, the first animated project started in 1991 with a film series. Among these films and eggs that continued after, the whole thing lasted until 1995 and covered the first few arches of Prince Arslan, who launched his rebellion to take his kingdom back. In 2013 the creator Fullmetal alchemistHiroma Arakawa, launched manga adaptation that is still ongoing.

This was then modified to Anime from 2015 to 2016, which did not reach the story of the novel in any meaningful way. Both are partial adaptations but version 2015 is convenient because they share this unique Fullmetal alchemist Art style, and because stimulation is better with some fun added to the cumbersome drama.

Hunter x Hunter (version 1999 wins)

Complete the Togashi-San Fight

Hunter x Hunter It is a series immersed in drama because of its creator Yoshihiro Togashi. Togashi launched mangoes in 1998 and until 2006 it had a good run. This is when the first series of hiatus, which still bothers manga, started, but it is still technically. For this reason, anime adaptation has been affected.

The first adaptation began in 1999 and took place until 2004, including three seasons sequel OVA, which continued the story produced by the same team. Other Hunter x Hunter Adaptation began in 2011 and ended in 2014. Many of them prefer a darker tone and animation of the original style compared to more playful sequels, although the 1999 version has more fillings.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (version 2012 will win)

Ideal for anime adaptation

• Director: Hiroyuki Kitako
• Studio: Appp
• Released: November 19, 1993 (Japan)
• Episodes: 6 (first season OVA)

Joj's bizarre adventure It is very difficult to describe because it records generations of characters, some of which have a very small connection. This is what has done a series so convincing since the beginning of 1987 and it is still going on. The first animated attempt bizarrely decided to adapt the third arch, Stardust CrusadersAs a series of eggs between 1993 and 1994. It is certainly a popular arch, because there is a place where stalls came to the series.

OVA began in the middle of the arch, which was then remedied when the sequel returned to the beginning as a prequel, which took place between 2000 and 2002. Finally, after decades of fans, she started broadcasting proper anime adaptation and still ongoing, but with a great fraction between each story. Needless to say, a series of restarts is better because it started to tell a story in order with the seventh main arc, Steel ballEarly adaptation.

Ranma 1/2 (version 1989 wins)

Epic martial arts bending gender

Ranma 1/2 The story is unique as a combat artist, a ranma, cursed to become a girl whenever he was sprayed with water, which is something that also suffers from other characters. Manga began in 1987 and lasted until 1996, while the first anime series began in 1989. Some breaks lasted the whole thing until 1996, which included the sequel to eggs.

Most of the manga story was modified, but in 2024 the legendary Mappa studio began their Ranma 1/2 A project that is still ongoing. There were not many episodes since this writing, when the series returned in October 2025. The animation of the restart is very good, but the original balanced comedy and action better, and moreover, Risqué gets with ranm transformations.

Sailor Moon (version 1992 wins)

In the name of the month by you to punish you

Sailor Moon It is a typical anime focused on girls who first began as mangoes in 1991 and ran until 1997. Anime adaptation did not last long before it got out of the country because it was released between 1992 and 1997. Sailor Moon Crystal He was a restart, drew inspiration from Mango, which began in 1992 and continued until 1997.

The films were also a sequel, the last of which was released in 2023, so the support of the series was somewhat scattered, which is said. There is quite a lot of filling in the original Sailor Moon The series, but most prefers its comedy, animation style and truly terrible villains that were alleviated in the 2014 reboot season.
