Thoughts?

Many parts of the
Hetalia manga are drawn in the 4-koma or so-called story 4-koma style. I have seen and read the
e-conte (storyboards.
e+
conte=drawing+continuity.) for the
Hetalia anime. The storyboards for
Hetalia are not the original manga strips which were cut up. They are drawings drawn by the director. It seems that the director consulted the
Hetalia manga for mise en scène, though. In fact, he said that he brought the flavour of the storyboards close to that of the
Hetalia manga.
Speaking of manga and storyboards, as to a manga artist's having trouble with drawing storyboards for an anime, Shirow Masamune, who co-directed
Black Magic M-66, wrote an article about it.
