Symphogear season 2 is starting out with a bang, and the freeze frames of the attack names continues to amuse the hell out of me. I also finished watching Shimoneta and thought it was pretty drat funny, it did make me sad about Anna's VA all over again tho.

I was just thinking, how many actual books have been adapted into anime series? Plenty of LNs, but I can't name many regular novels.

LotGH, Arslan, Euphonium if I recall correctly, currently Perfect Insider... I'm fairly sure I know at least two or three more but I can't name them right now. I'm kind of interested in knowing exactly how many there are.

From the New World was an actual book originally and Twelve Kingdoms, I think.

I imagine there's more movies adapted from regular novels than series or OVAs if you went out of your way to look, anyway.

Blue Literature gets some sort of multiplier bonus since it adapts a bunch of different classic lit

When my sister was little she loved the anime version of The Little Mermaid, even more than the Disney version. It's the 1975 Toei film and it has the original distinctly not so happily ever after ending.

Anyway, she hasn't seen it since then so when I saw it just got a new disc release I knew I had a good birthday present for her. She totally loved it; even better is that my niece (age 6) has also fallen in love with it, but she thinks the ending is too sad so she always turns it off early. :3: Her younger sister (4) gets annoyed by that tho and given the opportunity will watch it to the bitter sea foam end.


edit: this turned out to be relevant to book adaptation chat :v:

Chieri isn't even particularly into candy, but I guess they picked out the people before the name.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

Tatami Galaxy and apparently Welcome to the NHK was also a a novel, in addition to the ones people have mentioned.

This is one of those things where there's a lot more adaptations of novels than you think, probably because of some kind of confirmation bias.

I like this kaiji one shot that just shows that he'd be even more hosed if he didn't enter the dark spiral he's currently trapped in. The man cannot catch a break.
