Well this is my first ever legit article in e-sim that was totally not "Politically" inclinated. and some of my dear subscribers say. "why don't i make Anime reviews" or "stuff about e-sim". and since i am retired from e-sim politics. i have the leisure time to make these requests.
Since i was on stand-by for orders. and just chilling around the Barracks. (after the almost flunked Theoretical Ballistics exams...long story). i was reading some LN's (or Light Novels) and as a fan of LN's and Anime's. it came to my mind, which was better... the LN's or the Anime?
Currently i was readingSAO: Phantom Bullet Arc ( SAO 2 on Anime) and i have noticed many differences from the LN and the Anime adaptation itself . and this difference make different opinions,depending of the Perspective of the Readers..or the once who had watched anime. in fact, The narrative evolved to please the new generations and became fully illustrated with the popular style. The popular serials are printed in novels.
In recent years, light novels' stories have been popular choices for adaptation into manga, anime, and live-action films.LN's are very popular in Japan. but
so...by the way, what is a Light Novel (LN)/ライトノベル? . generally speaking. LN's were the crossover of a Novel and the Manga (Japanese Comics). and since the 70's to make reading novels more interesting. they put the popular anime style covers, began to put illustrations in the beginning of each story and included articles about popular anime, movies, and video games.There are currently many licensed English translations of Japanese light novels available. These have generally been published in the physical dimensions of standard mass market paperbacks. they were usually licensed in USA,Singapore,UK and now expanding it's base to Indonesia (on Bahasa Indonesia),India,Russia and Philippines.

Now here comes the deux part... LN's or ANIME?
Let's face it... people were lazier nowadays and in the West (in my perspective).eagerness on reading on youth is dwindling. most People in the West prefer to watch the Anime series on crunchyroll, hulu or kissanime. but there were mixed reactions from it's fan-base. most uhhh weaboos () would "worship" the series..but on me, who had grown here in Japan. It was preferable to read it. Rather than watch it.
Lets take a good example. There were many themes that were excluded in the anime series. In case of SAO. It was like 70-80% of the content were actually not included the series. And with good reason. Anime companies cant openly express uhh sexual themes...in case of SAO.
oh...dear
Themes like sexual assault,rape and incest (almost) and the fan favourite. Chapter 16.5 (yup.16.5 is legit. But not yet confirmed as canon)
Actual novel..
Fan translate...
Sorry guys.. due to copyright restrictions..cant post the whole content here..but feel free to imagine what happened next...pervs
So are you saying that even an LN have mature themes?
Well yeah. Actually. most mature content from their Anime Adaptation can be only read on LN due to Japan's Brodcasting laws
To the fans and the haters. It was a mix of. Love-hate scenario. But hell. In my opinion the anime version is just feels like lacking and uninspired. Its preferable to Read rather than watch. Specially the declining standards of anime these days.
Final Verdict.
SAO Light Novel:B-
Anime Adaptation: D+
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth.
Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit
different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be
efficiently
managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation.
Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the
game.
Work for the good of your country and
see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules.
First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you
will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress
as a fighter.
You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which
are owned by the state.
After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your
own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock
company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.

Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics
in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes.
From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability
to run for the head of the party you're in.
You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws
proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself.
Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you.
You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential
elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state
(for example, who to declare war on).
Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have
a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military.
In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control
over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials.
For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have
to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on
their territory.
You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life
as a pacifist
who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling
products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game.
It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present
in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth
according to their own.
So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
