Ami » Manga and Anime
We'll start with the manga Ami. In the BSSM manga version,
Ami looked more beautiful and her hair doesn't look like it was
glued to her head as in the anime. Her manga character was more matured
and she didn't seem that timid and it grows in every single episode,
revealing the strong and brave girl Ami truly is. It is also shown in
the manga that Ami is a studious girl and fun to be with. Not to mention that
she acts more like a normal person rather than the exaggeratedly shy and
studious girl which the anime seem to portray most of the time. Her
character in the Anime seemed so stiff and she's like a robot study
machine with few facial expressions. Gah how I hate it when they
destroy such a good character! Below are more detailed writing on the differences
between the manga and anime Ami.
 Clothes
Ami has more clothes in the manga compared to the anime
where they showed her in the same clothes in nearly the
whole season! Talk about broke... Impossible! The manga clearly showed
that she lived in a mansion and in the anime she is
living in a luxurious apartment, so does that not hint you that she is rich and
therefore she can afford a lot of clothes? Everyone knows that
she is rich and in my opinion even though she does act like a studious
geek sometimes, that does not mean she has no sense of fashion at
all! In the manga Ami is showered with so many beautiful feminine clothes,
but somehow the anime managed to make her look like a peasant by wearing
these ugly stone aged clothes.
Appearance
In the anime, I have to admit that Ami looked so horrible, well in the first two seasons
but later on her character and hair has improved! In the manga she carries this air of
intelligence whenever she appeared, especially when she is serious. On the other hand, the
anime made her appear timid, shy and unnoticed. In the anime, Ami looked rather
shabby and she seemed to carry an air of 'I-need-to-study-24/7-or-i'll-fail', which is
not her true appearance and how she carries herself.
Maturity
Ami looked like the 14 year old girl that she was supposed
to in her first appearance in the anime but most of the time the
anime does not show how mature and wise she actually is. There are
times that when they were actually able to make her look mature, but
most of the time they made her look timid, giving people the idea
that she is way too shy and is nothing but a bookworm and someone that lacks
character. Whereas in the manga Ami looked wiser as she was
supposed to since she's someone with an IQ of 300... As it was
rumoured.
Hair
Her hair was really beautiful in the manga, it's so flowy (as I
would describe it). In the anime her hair just looks so awful as if
it is stuck to her head! Sometimes, even though they have improved
it in the other seasons, she does have an episode or two where she
looks odd and funny.
Gadgets
Did I mention SailorMercury has really cool earrings! Three round
earrings from small to big as shown in the manga and anime. I find that to
make her stand-out from the other senshi and is her trademark. Her
visor is another unique addition to Mercury's gadgets which is shown
in both manga and anime but sadly not the little microphone which I
find to be very cute and useful in the manga. |
