The director for the TV show also director very heart-warming, positive films like "The Cat Returns", so I think he hates the original because it's so dark and depressing. But he's still doing a really good job, and I really admire that he's trying to save some of the characters. No no, I LIKE that the director doesn’t like the magna.

I was ready to watch Bokurano until I read that thing about the director and I kinda retracted. i get the feeling he's not even doing what he wants to, he's just doing whatever he can to spite the manga. That seems ignorant to me... I dunno, i can’t really respect someone who doesn’t like what they’re doing.

I guess this is what a real pro is about xD He should do more adaptions of things he hates. I think, hating a work you have to adapt can be even a very good thing. You can put the best effort into turning it into something you like. This motivation may not be that negative as it seems at first. I guess this attitude is not unusual in the industry given the bad quality of most anime. Somehow I cannot imagine for example that all those third class ecchi comedies were made with heart. In the end making anime is just a job, too, and jobs aren't that pleasent most of the time. I suppose there aren't many artists who are lucky and may express themselves as Anno did in EVA.

Gonzo and Morita Hiroyuki turned it into a relatively tame sci-fi character drama from a tragic, somewhat depressing sci-fi character drama. That's a pretty huge difference. Incidentally, the comic happens to one of my favorite manga ever. I'm liking it more than I did Narutaru and I really enjoyed that too.
