Afaik, there weren't many scenes cut from the manga like everyone says. Except for the uprising arch which was very different, the anime only cut some very minor dialogue. The only one you should care about though is the scene with Kruger and Grisha, some of the lines they cut really takes away the impact from the "you started this story" line.

Anime - WIT Studio and their superb animation, artwork, music and directing!

The only downside to anime is that they cut some of my favorite scenes :/

It's ultimately up to your general preferred medium. The manga is good if you want most of the full details, while the anime is there if you want audio-visuals.

The anime cuts bits out, however i do love watching the battles animated

The manga is fantastic, I think the way the story unfolds is amazing and once you start you can't stop reading.

S1 and S2 are generally very faithful, with a few exceptions (the end of S1 is a lot more overly dramatic than the manga, some character development is cut or changed, and there's some filler in the anime) but S3 diverges a bit more. S3 has been reordering the scenes and speeding up the pacing, resulting in many scenes being shortened or cut.

Prefer not to answer

Yes

I did the same two and the anime it mostly follows the manga the only differences I can think of off the top of my head are the training being more like flashbacks and in the anime they had to lengthen the stonehess fight

Nah, I read 16 books of the manga then watched the anime

im doing the same too! but the 1st omnibus was out of stock so im just reading them first online T^T

They are quite similar but here is list of some things from the manga that are changed in the anime:

1. In the first chapter Eren gets a vision of Mikasa instead of seeing future events.
2. Mikasa has a tattoo on her wrist.
3. The second fight between Eren and the female titan in the city, Eren gets beaten fairly quickly and doesn’t go on that weird fire mode.
4. Ymir’s flashback happens after the basement reveal and not in season 2.
5. The uprising arc, also known as S3p1 is shorten and some events are rearranged. For example:
   a) Eren spends more time with Levi’s squad and the experiments with his titan are longer.
   b) Levi‘s fight against the MPs happens way after the scene in the warehouse, unlike in the anime where it happens immediately after.
   c) Dimo Reeves is killed in the middle of the forest instead of the city.
   d) The scene of Hange and Levi torturing that guy happens after the warehouse scene but before Levi’s fight with the MPs and Eren and Historia’s capture.
   e) Levi does fight Kenny in the cave.
   f) Historia’s decision is influenced by both her sister Frieda and Ymir, unlike the anime where it’s only Ymir.
6. Many dialogues are cut and scenes are added that causes inconsistencies but nothing major.

The end of S1 is different, S3 P1 was changed heavily, and there was also bits of conversation between Grisha and the Owl cut out as well.

The main differences are in chapters 50-70 (uprising arc) and 86-89

I was an anime only at first, but now I highly recommend attentively reading the manga in its entirety. As much as I love what Wit has done, especially when it comes to action scenes, world and character designs, there are things the manga conveys much better, character interactions chief among them.

the anime was only better than the manga in terms of story telling in the first 2 seasons. After season two i recommend you to read the manga

​

chap 51-foward

Usurping arc has the most cuts in the anime Same whit the marley arc Others are nearly the same

These are the parts where entire scenes or events were heavily altered or removed for the anime:

Chapter 1 (corresponding to S1E1)

Chapters 31-33(corresponding to S1E23-25)

Chapters 50-58(corresponding to S2E12 and S3E1-4)

Chapters 93-97(corresponding to S4E2&3)

Outside of those, there's always some changes here and there. Sometimes the manga has more detailed explanations, sometimes the anime can improve upon certain scenes or add more details.

I’ve read the manga and watched the anime, I preferred watching the anime much more

how did they ruin it

Quite a bit. I totally get why they made some of the changes they did. Primarily having our main crew involved in more of the games because I dont think a TV audience would like the jumping around of characters. It is definitely a bummer they had to cut down on some side characters, though, and changed a couple of games. I also found arisu to be having more of an emotional struggle in the manga. I get why they changed that for the show as well. No one wants to watch a season of someone sulking, even if it makes sense lol

Quite a lot of things were changed in the live action adaptation. I love the show (watched it first) but when I read the manga I was like “I’m kind of glad I didn’t read the manga first because they changed up so many things for the worse that I would have been frustrated about had I read the manga first”

They removed an entire important character and changed multiple characters in various ways, got rid of/replaced games (usually with less impactful games, such as the first game of the adaptation where Arisu suddenly has a photographic memory he never uses elsewhere… that was a show original game), and also aged everyone up (which isn’t necessarily bad, just different)

I’d say it’s more simple than the mange the manga is also way darker

Quite a lot, I prefer the manga so I recommend reading it

A lot. Entire character backstories and portrayals, Game Rules, Plot Events, are completely different. Live Action adds and removes tons of things so both mediums are entirely different despite following the same general major plot points.

Tbh I read both LN and manga and I’m pretty disappointed yes the voice acting was incredible and so does the animation as well, but the change from manga and LN to anime was simply unacceptable I’m not ok with the scene that change at all

Does anyone know if the "bathroom scene" got deleted or will play out later? I'm an AnimeOnly.

Well, I understand the disappointment but it is what it is.. From the Manga reader, it felt like there’s so many scene changes, but from the LN reader they’ve only change and remove some dialogues. I also heard a lot of complaints like this, but the problem is most people from the manga are not aware that the Light Novel is the “Original” source. Considering that the manga is so far away from the whole story.
