Watched a few episodes of dunmeshi before binge-reading the manga, and I was surprised/impressed that the anime is essentially a shot-for-shot recreation of the manga. I assume they used manga panels as the storyboards, which speaks to how good Ryoko Kui is at visual framing, timing beats for action sequences and jokes, etc.
- frozenlettuce 2y agothat's the source of some cheesy anime clichés like having every character react and say something while an arrow is still mid-flight - in a manga it makes sense but when animating it makes it feel slow (looking at you Saint Seya)
- dale_glass 2y agoThat's extremely common, it's been happening for ages. You can see it in things like Naruto, too. That's because they made it at a rate of an episode per week, and in parallel with the source material. That doesn't give time for anything very fancy, so it's mostly a panel by panel adaptation. Plus some filler in the mix, because a chapter usually doesn't have enough meat in it to last a whole episode. It's often 2 chapters per episode or so. And that's why the slow pacing and the awful fillers.
