The anime was what led me into discovering this fandom. I have to say its style is pretty decent, and there are times when I really appreciate how it drew the characters (except Tsukiyama but HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO DRAW A SORT-OF FISH-EYED VIEW OF HIM IN HIS FIRST APPEARANCE BECAUSE I CAN BARELY DO THAT) but after I learnt how the manga has truer storylines, I started to hate this anime. It made me hate Rize more than neccessary, and it even pitted me against Tsukiyama. Before I got to know Tsukiyama's development in the anime, I thought he is nothing but a maniacal villain and that time, to my surprise, some people think so too (when they call him trash). So I was being rude to him but now, I seriously feel sorry for him and I can't believe how the anime made him a flop. And I can't believe how many parts of fandoms judged him solely based on the anime. I've seen many adaptations not staying true to the books, but this one is the worst to me. Not only did they twisted the original plot but also did they distort a character so hugely he is not even a character. (But the Tsukiyama thing though ... Are they trying too hard to seek the fans' approval or are they doing this plainly to receive money or they don't receive money or they don't care?)
