Thoughts on “Ao no Hako” Anime Adaptation
I recently stumbled upon a discussion regarding the anime adaptation of “Ao no Hako,” and it got me thinking about how
adaptations can be a mixed bag. One user, in particular, suggested that if the pacing continues as it is, we might be looking at a minimum of 80 to 90 episodes. That’s quite the investment in time! However, they also mentioned the possibility of the anime concluding with an original ending, which is always a gamble. It’s true that the world of anime and manga can be quite unpredictable, and I can’t help but think back to the unfortunate fate of “Akuta-ju.” I remember reading about how it was on the brink of becoming a household name with its stage adaptations and all the buzz surrounding its anime. But then, just like that, the original creator got embroiled in a scandal that turned everything upside down. All that anticipation and excitement vanished in an instant. It’s one of those moments that really drives home the point that nothing is certain in this industry. I think about how we often see creators get swept up in their own success. There’s a tendency for them to believe they’re invincible, especially when fans are showering them with praise. It’s like they start thinking, “I can do no wrong.” But as we’ve seen, that kind of mindset can lead to catastrophic mistakes. It’s crucial to remain grounded and appreciate the journey, no matter how far it goes. On a lighter note, I remember one time I got a bit too excited about a new manga release and ended up reading the first volume in one sitting, snacks strewn all over my desk. I had chocolate wrappers everywhere, but I was so engrossed in the story that I barely noticed! Moments like that really remind me why I love this medium so much. It’s those little joys that keep us coming back. As for “Ao no Hako,” I’m cautiously optimistic. I hope it gets the treatment it deserves, but I’m keeping my expectations in check. After all, we never know what twists and turns lie ahead. So, what do you all think? How many episodes do you predict for “Ao no Hako”? Have you had any memorable experiences with adaptations that surprised you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
