Is it a common problem to find it hard to immerse yourself more in a story when switching mediums? I realised recently that I find it hard to immerse myself more in a story after I’ve watched the adaption/read the manga. For example I’m reading JoJo right now, and because the anime painted the story to be over the top and ridiculous, it’s disorienting when I read the manga because it feels much more serious.
When Chainsaw Man’s adaption came out, it was harder to get more immersed in the anime because my interpretation of each scene was different to what the anime captured. I’m wondering if this is a normal thing, if I’m just dumb, and if others go through it too.
