What would you say is needed to create a good anime adaptation of a manga?

A certain je ne sais quoi and definitely a lot of passion.

Like Dandadan, (New) Ranma 1/2, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Jujutsu Kaisen's anime are all fantastic, due to high quality animation and making the setting feel lived in.

You also need good scripting. But it basically requires the director, producer and head writer to all have It down.

A lot of it is just "It-ness".

Anime Director Daisuke Hiramaki on Meeting the Challenge of the Original Work

Adapting a well-loved story is never simple, and director Daisuke Hiramaki seems fully aware of that. When an anime already has a strong identity in its original form, the challenge isn’t just about recreating it—it’s about translating it in a way that still feels authentic.

From what’s been shared, Hiramaki’s approach leans more toward respect than reinvention. Instead of dramatically changing the tone or direction, the focus is on understanding what made the original work resonate in the first place. That means paying attention to pacing, character nuance, and the small details that fans tend to notice the most.

At the same time, an adaptation can’t just be a copy. Animation brings its own strengths—timing, movement, voice acting, and atmosphere—and using those well is part of the process. It’s about finding that balance where the anime stands on its own while still feeling true to the source.

There’s also the pressure factor. Expectations are usually high, especially when the fanbase is already invested. Meeting those expectations isn’t just about accuracy—it’s about delivering something that feels worthwhile in a different medium.

What makes this interesting is that it’s less about big creative risks and more about careful decisions. Every choice, from scene composition to how emotions are conveyed, plays a role in whether the adaptation connects.

Final thoughts: Hiramaki’s perspective highlights something that often gets overlooked—the difficulty of doing justice to something people already care about. When it works, it’s usually because of restraint as much as creativity.
