Thats what happens you change everything in the adaptation.

Well, sometimes. Didn't Flowers of Evil get the boost anyway?

They kept the story the same in the aku no hana anime.

It changed almost everything else though. And many an anime make changes -some huge- yet some still boost the manga anyways (all I'm saying here is it's not unprecedented).

I don't agree with this. I don't think you have to stay 100% faithful to the source material to have a hit. Why do some shows make large changes and it works and others it doesn't? I still think C3-bu was a good show, not show of the year but it was enjoyable. I don't think people were willing to give it a fair shake.

Making it far worse than the source material is not going to help the manga sales at all.

Same goes for changing the story/characters, if you want to get people interested in the manga, keeping things roughly the same is very important. C3-bu on the other hand changed almost everything, the characters and plot in most of the episodes.


A shame that they had a rookie director work on this, but going by all the bad reputation Gainax(and the director) got for this in Japan it might lower the chances of something like this happening again.

Still that doesn't mean it was a bad series that is only a matter of opinion.
