In a typical anime fashion, there are numerous scenes in the manga that are condensed and rearranged. Scenes that should take place in different settings are condensed into one, and scenes that are supposed to go in certain sequences are rearranged for much more compact storytelling.
One particular example is the scene where Legosi talks to Gohin for the first time. Both in the manga and in the anime, Gohin asks Legosi questions while he’s still chained up. But after that, in the manga, Gohin unchains Legosi and brings him to a separate room… a room full of photos of broken carnivores.
In the anime, on the other hand, after their brief exchange, Gohin doesn’t unchain Legosi or bring him to any other room. The pictures of the broken carnivores are shown to be in the same room as Legosi all along. And it’s just a board full of pictures, instead of a room full of them like in the manga.
The intent of the scene might be the same, but the execution is vastly different. In the manga, there’s an anticipation created by moving to a different room, and a big reveal of a room filled with pictures. The anime has none of those things, and that’s why that scene is way more impactful in the manga.
Sometimes, the anime decides to stretch certain scenes in order to make them even more impactful, and there are also times when a scene from the manga is cut out of the anime altogether. Since the anime and the manga decided to emphasize different things from time to time, you get a somewhat different impact from reading the manga vs. watching the anime.
