In the manga Aiger doesn't take to long to cry after realizing his mistake and is ready to make a new bey and in turn make a proper bond between him and Achilles, which fits his determined personality.
Its a dark boat at nighttime with a cold unsettling Valt, and seeing Achilles fade away and real time and Aiger realize his mistake after its too late obviously hits hard.
I don’t think manga can make it hit nearly as hard as animation would simply because of what it is. Focusing on setting is honestly a much better writing characteristic than moving on ever so quickly in my opinion because it’s just a waste of a realistic/emotional moment in burst. I wonder what other people would think though so I’ll ask?
Do you guys prefer Aiga breaking down after Valt beat him on the ship with its creative writing or do you prefer the breakdown at dead tower with the depressing setting and realism. To be clear, I’m not talking about the battles but rather Aiga’s reaction and emotional moments after the battle.
Personally, I think the anime handled it better. You could actually feel his remorse for pushing Achilles too far, and it took a bit longer for him to move on and try to fix his mistake, which, in my opinion, is way better than how the manga did it (Don't get me wrong, the manga one wasn't bad, but the anime version feels more emotional and real to me).
I'll definitely put something here soon.
Probably.
Maybe?
Naaaaah.
