All anime books that have been turned into shows, are usually boring and always less intresting. Is it like this with all japanese shows that are based off of books? I don't think so, because when you read anime/manga books, you can find the areas like on the side of the page about what the author has to say.

The author is always says like, how much they like the show or movie that had come out based on they're books. Is it true?

I can't understand your question, but I think you're basically saying that all anime is boring. Is that seriously what you're saying? If so, you are very wrong.

Also, your thread title doesn't make sense. "Anime Shows based off of Anime Series"? Aren't anime shows and series the same thing? I think you're confused about something. All I know is that anime is not boring and I don't even know what would make you think that.

In the subject line, do you mean anime shows based off of manga series? FYI, anime is japanese animation on television, movies, ovas, etc. Manga is japanese "comic books."

Proper definitions Very Happy can be found at the Lexicon at the right of the page

Your asking if it's true that animes based off of mangas are good? Well, that's an opinion, so it doesn't really have a definate answer. Personally I've enjoyed quite a few animes based off of mangas.

BTW, learn to phrase words better. It really shouldn't be that hard for you if you read manga often (or have taken some general education). You're just being lazy and it's making you sound stupid, so it's not really working in your favor.

Okie, okie...I KNOW what anime is and im not saying that it is boring, because it isn't.

Im not making an opinion, im asking if anybody knows why the shows ar more boring than the books.

Last, but not least, I am asking about, yes, anime shows that are based off of anime books.

Saying that "the shows ar more boring than the books" is an opinion. I can say that I don't 100% agree with the opinion but I can't really answer it. I can guess though. Maybe you think the mangas are more interesting because they often go into more detail then the anime.

Define "anime books" first, and go fix your sentence structure.

Use lexicon on your left panel and search function on your right panel to get ideas about anime and manga first. This is not a place to teach people "what is manga."

If you want to ask "why most manga titles are more interesting than their anime counterparts," fine, but it's a really old topic and PantsGoblin explained it all,

Not necessarily true, there are OVA (original video animation) that are not based on manga. In fact, some anime does not even have a manga to be adapted from.
Take this one for example, I asked around to see if there was a manga, but they said no and explained to me that some animes don't have a manga to begin with.

Many OVA are adapted from manga. The word "original" here means it's released directly as video (VHS/LD/DVD), not that its story is completely "original." If a manga title has a small but loyal group of dedicated fans then its anime adaptation is most likely to be released as OVA with just a few (say, less than five) episodes, for making it into a complete TV series or theatrical movie would be way too expensive. There are many movies and TV series with original story (i.e. no manga counterpart) as well.

Many of them. In fact, there's even a trend of reverse adaptation (anime to manga) recently, but most products of this type are not very successful.

Too bad for you. The same has been said by book lovers when their favorite book has been turned into a movie. Guess nothing changes. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose!
