I sure hope it doesn't end up like the mangaka of Highschool of the Dead. He didn't make it.
I wonder if it's partly the stress of the job, and causing neglect of their own health.

It's a pretty dense book and it's really great for such a format. I haven't seen Gankutsuosu in a long time, but I definitely recall The Count of Monte Cristo movie from the 90s and the omission of Haydee in the movie was a real detriment to Edmund's development. He didn't get to realize that his happiness was to be found completely apart from his past. Having Haydee in the anime was a good choice, but I can't remember the end at all other than not liking it. Didn't the count die? Changing the focus to a son of the antagonist was a cool idea, but you don't get that catharsis of revenge nearly as well. I remember thinking that it was interesting, but not nearly as good as the book. I guess it's the trend to make the main character younger and oblivious in anime to allow for better exposition.
I guess the point is that it's such an incredible story, it's hard to mess it up. But it's easy to not live up to the the source material.
Maybe I should watch it again.
Might be because it looks generated, or uses stock images. The ramen bowl is in a perfect perspective to show it off on a menu, but it should be spilling out in the orientation it's been placed in. It defies gravity. The burger is random and out of place, with a different art style. The same for the cat above it. The menu is also out of place and garbled, when it should be in focus like everything else at that distance.
I guess it looks disjointed and way too busy to look like someone did it entirely themselves. So people think it's AI or at least lower effort.
