I guess I'm one of the few people who actually like the KKJ anime... I mean, it's no where near as good as the manga (absolutely no angel back story. Which is sad, considering Access Time was my favourite character), but it has it's moments. Like the insane amount of Chiaki bashing. Even if I hated the rest of the show, I think that would have made it worth watching. Don't get me wrong. I love Chiaki to death. But he so deserved most of that...
Of course, I made it a point not to read the manga before watching the anime. I knew how much more I preferred the manga of FMwS to the series, so I figured it was better to watch the anime first.
I have a theory of why they had to change the endings of both so much though. Did you notice how both KKJ and FMwS (I can't speak for her other manga, since I haven't read them) have completely perfect happy endings? The kind that would usually make you want to vomit? Yet Tanemura Arina can pull it off so that you wouldn't want it any other way. This is something special to her that I've only seen in a few other people.
Needless to say, even an adaptation of her works couldn't do it right. Wouldn't be able, perhaps is a better phrase. It's asking the impossible of them. So in a sense, they had to change it. That's just my opinion, however...

Leri Mm... I didn't like the KKJ ending. It seemed too unfinished neutral
then you would DEFINITELY like the manga better!!
the main difference between the manga and anime of KKJ is that in the anime focuses ONLY on the battle between good and evil. However, in the manga, it is more focused on the character development. like in the anime, we have to wait for the freakin SECOND SEASON for Maron to find out that Chiaki is Sinbad! and then for the whole show (until the end), she didn't trust him at all. however, in the manga, she finds out about him at the gymnastics competition (that's like...in the second volume) and slowly she builds up her trust in him. Also *SORTA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!* at the end of the anime, Maron realizes that she's strong enough to transform into Jeanne without the rosario. in the manga, she realizes that she's strong enough that she can beat all evil just being herself, as Maron. in my opinion, THAT is a better moral than the anime!!
*sigh* if only the anime ACTUALLY followed the manga...it would be SO...MUCH...BETTER... stare

Skymeri Leri Skymeri Isn't Chiaki's hair blue in the manga as well? @_@ nope! 'Tis brown xd ... but Tanemura Arina made one picture of him with blue hair and blue eyes. That's the one with Maron and Miyako and him in panels with crosses. What about the picture with Yamato, Miyako, Maron, and Chiaki? The background is yellow and each of the characters are in a rectangular/square thing. I'll post the pic when I find it on internet. xD
I think this is the picture your looking for!

Aisu-Kitsune DemonHunterNaomi Other random stuff: In the Full Moon anime, they added some extra stuff that wasn't in the manga, like the Shinigami Handbook and how a half-Shinigami can dissapear if they remember any of their past life. Actually in the manga Takuto was going to turn into a ghost because he remembered his past (but then Mystia and Sheldon gave their energy and he got a second chance as a human + his voice). I liked the handbook, how the names appeared and everything. 3nodding I also liked the fact that Meroko had more of a role in the anime. In the manga she was always sad/angry and everything was always about Mitsuki and Takuto (except for the part about her past life as Moe). In the anime she was more happy and energetic. I was happy that she turned into an angel at the end. That gave her more of a purpose in the story. But I'm wondering..did Meroko's feather make Takuto remember? That's what I assumed but I'm not sure. confused
No Mystia and Sheldon used up their powers to give Takuto he's voice back. But he was really just in a coma.
