Anime: adaptations and studios
Léo Fontaine is the ChapterBrief byline for anime adaptations and the studios behind them (MAPPA, Ufotable, Wit, CloverWorks and others). The question in every piece is what the adaptation changed and whether it helped: pacing, episode budgets, fight choreography, tone. Release and staff facts come from official announcements and a per-article sources table; the verdicts are ours. Short paragraphs, understatement, parentheticals for asides.
