#i know literally everyone who says this says it because of s2 but like maan s1 is sooo fucken good #probably one of my least favorite effects of s2 is that it gave people a bad impression of the anime as a whole. half of it genuinely rules #order doesnt matter but read the manga and also watch s1 too ithink <3 tpn season 1 you will always be famous to me#also manga escape arc has some fucking horrific antiblack caricatures. krone has her moments in the anime but the manga is. worse

whenever i see people recommending tpn with 'but READ IT do NOT watch the anime' im just like yeah i get what you mean but also how dare you talk that way about my dearest friend tpn season 1

#we trade the features grossly played up to instill fear and horror and swap it with the doll to inject some fear of mental illness too <3 #also this isn't nearly as bad as in S2 but you can already see them taking stuff away from Emma to prop the boys up #e.g.‚ Emma voices the realization about the trackers in the manga #while the anime makes it look like Norman's coming to most of the conclusion on his own #it's like so much more subtle and if one is going to be reading the manga to compare I don't think it's as big a deal #because the tradeoff is taking advantage of the medium shift and incorporating stuff like the VAs and Obata's beautiful soundtrack #(and it's so hard to imagine the series without Isabella's Lullaby now)#but this is where the nixing of the inner monologues really cuts #so I can see why if one's pressed for time and/or isn't keen on revisiting stories to recommend the manga over the anime entirely #even if my preferred personal vehicle is the anime because that's how I was introduced to the series #TPN Salt #TPN Negative #TPN Criticism #Krone #Norman #Emma #TPN S1 #TPN S2 #Introduction Arc #Escape Arc
