Mikasa is ruined in the anime and has taken a toll on the community because of it
Before I start I want to clarify: this is no Witt studio hate. Witt studio has amazing animation and beautiful still shots. Witt studio has adapted the manga with no filler and has no bad pacing. Seems like the perfect 10/10 flawless adaptation, right? Only if it were true.
At the expense of pacing lots of characters like kenny, erwin and levi were not as fleshed out as the manga. Mikasa to she is a different level of not being fleshed out. Mikasa’s character is a shell of what she is in the manga.
The anime turned Mikasa into a person who doesn’t seem to develop, is way too attached to the protagonist, has barely any monologue, interacts barely with other characters and can’t decide for herself. A lot of panels or moments of Mikasa doing what said above has been cut or moved towards a different character like eren. In the photos are some comparisons of her character being altered. This doesn’t just stop with Mikasa being directly altered. A big complaint about the ending is Eren’s sudden love for Mikasa. In the anime of seasons 1-3 Eren pushed Mikasa away a ton while this didn’t happen in the manga. Eren was way more attached to Mikasa in the manga than anime. Mikasa was because of this also changed indirectly, which might look like the attachment between ermika was one sided.
Most people in the community think Mikasa is a character that has no character but it just stems from a non proper adaptation.
Once again not a hate post towards Witt. witt has amazing animation and eye candy levels of art direction.
