It won't take long to do, and you'll get the full impact of the visual jokes that you'd know were coming due to having read the LN. In my opinion, I'd go with the anime first. You will miss out on some extraneous detail - a certain recurring character has their introduction done in a flashback as opposed to the full chapter it gets in the story - for example, but very little from the first LNs that the two series are based off was missed.

The LNs have more information in them, but the anime is definitely funnier, as the physical jokes and expressions gain from the visual aspect, and you get a VA performance that gets across the tone of the dialogue (there's a lot of scenes of characters crying out in comic distress that come across much funnier seen than read).Īs for a close adaptation, the benefits of it being a LN are that the character design is straight off the picture pages of the LN and the dialogue was between close and exact from what was in the LN. I am currently doing both, having watched both series of the anime only last week, and now reading the LNs.
