10 Shonen That Heavily Deviated From The Manga
----- ADS-----
The shonen demographic “genre” is perhaps the most popular in manga, which is why so many of these works have anime adaptations. These shows take the source material and usually make it even more accessible, allowing them to reach even larger audiences. In some cases, however, these anime make major divergences from what those who read the books had come to know and love.
In many cases, these changes are due to how close the production between the anime and manga are. In fact, some of these anime were completed before their source material was even halfway completed. As a result, many of these anime have entirely different storylines and even conclusions from the manga.
The original anime adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist anime was quite popular, and it helped make the series into one of the more mainstream anime franchises in the early 2000s. Years later, there was a second anime titled Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and this show was meant to more accurately adapt the source material. This is due to how different the first anime was compared to the manga.
