how come in some anime's they are some what different from the manga's. its like the manga's are more serous and the anime is more childish. do you think its because the animators want to attract the less intelligent audience with the anime because it will make them more money. Or are the animators are getting soft and lazy on the action and more seriousness in anime.

Are you referring to the character designs or the writing? Do you have any particular examples?
There may be a desire to widen the audience for anime since it costs a lot more to produce than manga.

Animators have no control over the director or writer piecing together their script for a series.

But if you're talking about stuff like violence censorship in One Piece or other WSJ anime adaptations, consider that Japan isn't the same Japan that let kids watch Fist of the North Star back in the 80s.

It's hardly to discuss that without examples? You mean changing the series or lack of some genres in anime, that are widely represented in manga, like medical drama, comedy for adults or historical romance?

Yes, it would help greatly if the OP could provide some specific examples of what he means.

In general, though, anime adaptations sometimes seem to be "dumbed down" simply because some approaches that manga creators use simply aren't feasible in animated form. Manga that rely heavily on dense side notes are a particular problem in this regard.

Basically I mean the censorship in one piece and other anime and how the dialog is diffidence between the anime and the manga. For example if you watch Naruto the dialog is different in the american version, Japanese version and the manga.

Sometimes, the anime is different because they want it to appeal to a larger target audience than the manga. The Gakuen Alice manga is quite dark, even though the main characters are elementary schoolers but the anime toned that aspect down in order to appeal to younger children (and their parents) than would have read the manga, as it's serialised in Hana to Yume, so aimed at teenagers.

The problems faced by "conscious" hip-hop are a little different from those faced by a commercial series being franchised as a Saturday morning cartoon, just Saiyan.
