原作
Significado: The original source material — the manga, light novel, game, or other work that an anime or adaptation is based on.
原作 is essential vocabulary for discussing adaptations. Fans frequently compare anime to their 原作, debating whether the adaptation did the source material justice. '原作勢' (gensaku-zei) refers to fans who read the original before the adaptation. The term is central to discussions about pacing, cut content, and faithfulness.
Ejemplos
- 原作読んでからアニメ見るとカットされたシーン多くて悲しい。 看了原作再看动画,发现被删掉的场景好多,好伤心。Cuando leo la obra original y luego veo el anime, me da pena ver cuántas escenas han cortado.원작을 읽고 나서 애니를 보면 잘린 장면이 많아서 슬퍼.
- 原作の方が面白いって言う人多いけど、アニメも良くない? 虽然很多人说原作更有意思,但动画不也挺好的吗?Mucha gente dice que la obra original es mejor, pero ¿el anime no está bien también?원작이 더 재밌다는 사람 많은데, 애니도 괜찮지 않아?
- 原作勢としてはこの展開知ってたけど黙ってた。 作为原作党,这个展开我其实早就知道了,但一直没说。Como fan de la obra original, ya sabía lo que iba a pasar, pero me callé.원작파로서 이 전개를 알고 있었지만 입 다물고 있었어.
