Many of the best anime are adaptations — but what if there's a story you couldn't adapt? This presentation dives deep into one such story, the visual novel "I/O Revision II (2008)". We will unpack the story and its incredible, one-of-a-kind narrative delivery. By understanding the shape of what doesn't adapt well, we get a rich reminder of the strengths of anime as a medium.
A sequel to the 2018 presentation, "The History and Culture of Visual Novels".
