I have nothing against many of the new series that are out and about in the Manga world. Most of them are wonderful, if not imaginative in finding new ways to walk over already heavily used story lines. Though that is something any medium can expect to contend with. While I don't dislike the newer stuff I can't help but feel that the classics are slowly slipping away.

I already ranted, or at least explained why anime, or manga will get subtle changes depending on the market. However there is one thing that bothers me to no end. This is when they nearly re-create and utterly alter a series into a bastardized half re-telling of the story.

It's hard to not notice at times when a scene in an anime, or in an English ( inserts other languages here) printing of a manga series that the dialog and overall text, or even imagery can be utterly utterly redone and quite different than what is presented in the original. Is this done by greedy money grabbing evil corporations winging half of the work without bothering to understand what the original work is? Or is it perhaps something entirely different.
