Talk:Anime-Manga Differences

Complaints?
Just checking that no one has any complaints about this page. I thought it was a semi-decent idea. Simant (talk) 22:01, December 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's important that it remains about differences, not all the things the anime has added. ~SnapperTo 02:30, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it okay to keep the Pronunciation Errors section? Simant (talk) 03:39, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a dubbing error, not an ani/manga difference. ~SnapperTo 04:10, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
Would it be bad to add pictures of scene differences; or would that just get to ugly with too many pictures? Simant (talk) 19:56, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think adding a couple pictures to certain contrasts would be good but I think too many pictures would make the page huge. --NejiHyuga900 (talk | contributions) "I am the Thunder Dragon!" 06:04, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Splitting
Can someone make the citations split themselves in two columns? There's a lot of white space. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:57, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Coloring
I really don't think color errors belong here, since these errors were caused by the transition from mostly black and white panes. Simant (talk) 00:42, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are pages in the manga that are color. Example, Utakata's belt was different.Shelldone (talk) 00:55, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * So what? Those can go in the trivia of those characters pages. This is about events. Simant (talk) 01:02, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * those wouldnt be "color errors". they would be color differences. which is the point of the article, anime-manga differences.Shelldone (talk) 01:05, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Funny you should mention that particular error. I actually own a copy of the Second Artbook, which has the officially coloured images on which Utakata appears. Both show his sash to be orange, like in the anime. --ShounenSuki (talk 01:15, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * compare AAANNNDDD
 * both are different, even though theyre both orange. Just so you know, there are different kinds of orange, either different shades, or deeper/lighter colors.

As I said, I actually own a copy of the artbook. The differences in colours are negligible. The great differences in the images seen on the Internet are likely due to scanning errors. I have absolutely no doubt that the animators were well-aware of the colouring of Utakata's sash and made no mistakes in his anime adaptation. --ShounenSuki (talk 23:56, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

not errors, but differences.Shelldone (talk) 00:02, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Most of the color differences are due to the manga not having the color in time for the anime adaption or because the animators just screwed up. Either way, it's a difference and has to be put in this page. --Kracel (talk) 00:13, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * only stuff that is an entirely different spectrum of color should be listed, not simple shading differences, due to color loss in transition from paper to digital media. Simant (talk) 03:20, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Can you guys stop deleting the part about Naruto's sage eyes. I believe it should have a place in the article as it quite a big difference between the official manga colouring and the anime.
 * The eyes are orange in the manga as well--Deva 27 (talk) 14:59, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

No they're not http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/420/03-04/
 * Check chapter 430.--Deva 27 (talk) 15:03, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Its an orange/red colour however the eyes are still yellow

"Chōji's attire uses the same color scheme from his Part I appearance, as opposed to the anime where he wears red." - which manga chapter has Chōji coloured? --Kiadony (talk) 11:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

In episode 221 of shippuden when the akatsuki are summoned, their coats are incorrectly coloured, but in the most recent episode, Deidara's was corrected.
 * Anime correction was added. Good eye.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 22:11, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

In Shippūden episode 255 when Kabuto is first caught in Kurotsuchi's Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique, there is a brief coloring error that shows Kabuto's cloak as the same color as his skin. --Questionaredude (talk) 19:16, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * At what exact time frame can that error be found because I don't see it.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 19:26, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * About 15:08-15:09 in, on the close-up. Now that I look at it, It's not the same color as his skin, but the inner part of his cloak.--Questionaredude (talk) 19:34, March 25, 2012 (UTC) http://yourupload.com/file/a710607d37d1409bc862f97f4af07847

anon additions
These were copied word for word from leaf ninja, only difference between the two that i saw was that ref tags were formatted properly for here. S im A nt 17:59, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

single Manga release to volume release
It would be nice to have those here as well, like killer bees missing tail in the manga chapter or hinatas single byakugan. I was thinking of renaming the page to something like, "Media Transition Changes". S im A nt 18:02, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Confirmation required
Due to a discussion at Talk:Naruto Uzumaki, I took a look at scanlations of chapter 315 and watched Shippūden episode 55. In the scanlations, Kakashi says that Naruto has at least twice as much chakra as him, but in the episode, he says Naruto has about four times as much. I believe this is a difference, but since I can't find a raw to see if there's a kanji for "four" in it, can someone confirm this difference? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:54, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Plot differences
I was thinking of adding a section for that, which should be that hard to deal with plot differences that are different from the manga. I also will note that nothing that relates to the filler episodes unless if it affected the plot otherwise. I know a few good examples to use which are part of the official canon material. -Adv193 (talk) 18:43, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Help sorting out
The most recent three anime episodes (197 to 199) changed the order of a lot of the events from the manga chapters (451 to 457). There are things such as Fū and Torune being introduced before the other Kage, and changes to when Naruto left to meet the Raikage. This is a very general note, which needs to be more finely looked into before going to the page, in my opinion. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:24, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Worth Mentioning
When Akino is first debutted an grabs onto zabuza, the anime changed the position of his right front paw, moving it from underground to on top of zabuza's foot. Is this even worth mentioning? S im A nt 19:18, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Susanoo Fingers
The only place that I can even see the fingers properly in the anime is the same frame as this, which also has 5 fingers. S im A nt 01:50, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * First page in that same chapter, than hand holding the sword. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:45, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see the hand holding the sword in the anime though... S im A nt 03:25, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto Protecting Tsunade
The thing about Naruto getting his hand stabbed by Kabuto was in there twice. That's why I took it out. --Ampm123 (talk) 15:46, August 16, 2011 (UTC)Ampm123
 * Use the edit summary to explain this next time.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 16:11, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Summoning
In some ep. of Naruto he switches around Boar and Dog in the summoning technque, should that be in the article somewhere? --UchihaFan98 (talk) 14:22, October 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only if you get the reference. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:25, October 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ep. 078 10:38 if you listen careful, and Ep 054 in 19:44, he says Inu, I, ect.--UchihaFan98 (talk) 08:26, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Tsukuyomi
In the manga when Itachi has Kakashi restrained to the Slab of Stone/wood, it is in a distinct cross shape almost like the crucifixion of Christ. ((See here. In the anime however it is redesigned to be missing the top plank .(Here) Could this be considered censorship because they removed a blatant reference to Christianity? As food for thought they also did this in the FMA series and it's adaptions. CJB95 (talk) 05:58, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, they probably removed it to avoid rubbing Christians the wrong way.
 * No, it isn't actually a reference to Christianity. At least, it doesn't have to be. Although it probably was influenced by Christianity, crucifixion has been used in Japan as a form of capital punishment for centuries, often without any religious connotations.

To do list
Similar to the topic in the tankoban difference talk page, let's keep a section to list differences from the anime. I'm doing this partially out of laziness of looking if someone did already, though I am combing through the recent changes as usual.


 * In Shippuden 209, they added a lot of stuff on Konoha people before Kurama was summoned, and they didn't show Torifu, and the two other elders. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:01, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * In Shippuden 248, the scene where Kushina is holding newborn Naruto is mirrored, holding Naruto with her right hand instead of left.--Questionaredude (talk) 22:56, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to be sure, was this actually mirrored or was the entire video flipped horizontally? Sometimes people do that to make it harder for video hosting sites to use some sort of automated detection of copyrighted content. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:01, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Kushina has a band on her left wrist. In the manga, she held Naruto with that hand and the band was showing. In the anime she held him with her right and her band was not shown. (Sorry if I sound repetitive)--Questionaredude (talk) 18:48, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Arrogance
Isn't a little arrogant to assume that there's erros in the anime instead of adjustments made by the studio? Talking about erros of adaptation sounds like comics-fanboys crying because of Spiderman movies.--177.98.185.225 (talk) 19:04, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * The time they took making these "adjustments" they could spend it on animating the characters and scenes better.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 19:08, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * My point is: is not about how they spend they time; THEY (the studio) are engaged to animate Naruto, they have the franchise's rights. Who WE are to point what's a "error"? Is just like go to someone's house and tell them how to use the VCR.--177.98.185.225 (talk) 19:51, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Suppose they have the VCR and don't know how to use it? It's not supposed to tell the studio anything especially since the wikia isn't affiliated with them. The article is simply pointing out to the readers that Masashi Kishimoto did x and the animators did y. I don't see an issue with the article especially since its the same animators that will go back and change some of these discrepancies at later points in time. You don't fix adjustments, you fix mistakes. Doing stuff like making Zetsu's entire lower half white can never be thought of as an adjustment.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 19:56, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Black Zetsu's foot is actually white in the manga as well: But as for errors vs. changes, the fact that the revived Akatsuki's cloaks were recently changed from black to red shows that they do try to correct some mistakes once they've realized that they've made them.--BeyondRed (talk) 03:17, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know that Black Zetsu's leg region is white. I was referring to their torso which is split in colour. There was an image of it on the wikia but it was deleted.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 03:30, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
