Sisters is by far my favorite of the bunch, I can’t believe it’s getting animated.

  Don't worry, if THESE stories are getting animated, then Fire Punch and Goodbye Eri are surely coming up next :D

  Not making Goodbye Eri a movie is like throwing money to the trash

  i think goodbye eri is one of those manga that shouldn't be adapted into another medium. it being a manga is too important for it to work as well as it does. you can't really translate the panel work to anime in a satisfying way, imo.
  Tinchorubio66 7mo
  I dunno I never bought the argument that "it can't be adapted", I've seen a lot of adaptations and some of them are very creative and well crafted, some anime directors are on crack. Chainsaw man got a great manga to anime adaptation replacing panelling with cinematography.
  scorcheddar 7mo
  i'm not saying you're wrong, and sometimes i too prefer the adaptation over the original work. i guess it's just personal preference in this case, but i'd like eri to be what it is. not a fan of the endless loop of remaking/adapting/changing things for the sake of it. but with fujimoto's popularity, it's only a matter of time before this and fire punch gets an anime. the paneling in chainsaw is special, but in eri it is the entire narrative texture. it's made to be faux cinematic - emulating a camera shutter. you can obviously do this in a cinematic medium, as it's literally what it's emulating in the manga. but what gives it that x-factor feeling, is how he's doing this with literal still images. i'd be happy to be proven wrong of course

  I don't see firepunch getting animated in this era of anime. Even if it does, many things have to be changed and censored.

the way studios treat fujimoto is insane, never expected to see so many fujimoto works in such a short time. GOODBYE ERI ADAPTATION BETTER GET ANNOUNCED
