Why do so many anime adaptations completely miss the mark? In this episode of ACAD, we’re joined once again by our friend Ian to dive into some of the worst anime adaptations of beloved manga, light novels, games, etc. From rushed pacing to awful animation, we break down where it all went wrong — and why fans deserve better.

We’re talking Soul Eater, The Promised Neverland, Berserk (2016), A Certain Magical Index, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned otaku or just starting out, this episode is your guide to what *not* to watch.
