I believe that the work of Naoki Urasawa is incredible, he is among the greatest manga artists ever, however I think that translating his work to anime is comparable to playing a score, a great piece of music in the hands of a musician that is not up to the task (even if it's a good one) will most likely become a mess, in anime we see that a lot (sadly) how a poorly selected art direction, animation, screen writing, or poorly selected shoots or cuts can completely ruin the feeling of a work, and this guy and his creative team have done a wonderful job in this and other anime, to hit just the right notes and the right tempo.

2018-02-20 18:14:33 +0000 UTCI would still give him credit. As a big cinema aficionado, I know there's a lot that comes in adapting a book, even a comic book, onto the big or small screen. All the voice choices, the sound direction, the choice of music, the script itself, visual cues visual effects, all the things that brings a static picture to life and give it substance and atmosphere, come from the choices of the studio and director. In the hands of someone else, even a great story can become a total mess. We've seen that way too often. So, while Urasawa does definitely deserve credit for creating this world and characters, I think the director and writers and the cast and crew of the series deserve credit as well in bringing it to life.

2018-02-20 13:30:04 +0000 UTCAt least in the case of monster, I think the original writer and Artist Naoki Urasawa derserves all the credit. The Anime pretty mich directly translates the manga's scenes and story board into animation, not to say there weren't any creative choices made when it came to the adaptation but they are fairly few and far between

2018-02-19 20:30:42 +0000 UTCYes, he is a master of creating an atmosphere that can make you yell, just as Caleb and Jacob were saying about the usage of sound in this work, he is great with that.
