Reply to comment by NomaanMalick in NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a Anime Delays Episodes 4 & Beyond Due to COVID-19 by DemiFiendRSA

Idk Vinland omitted a little bit, but having read and watched both, as far as season one goes it’s as close to 1:1 as an anime is gonna get.

Fair enough if you think that. For me, anime doesn't work so well as the manga mostly because the pacing's off because the animation staff are so slavishly following the panels instead of trying to rework the story into animated form.

I will say it’s episodic and maybe 2% of the manga wasn’t included, but I’d say even more 1:1 was Mushishi and the pacing was hit with perfect stride. Some JoJo stands work better in animation than they do in the manga as well imo, but the opposite exists.
