"Storyboard" is a bit of a misnomer here: what Mizukami drew were the rough drafts ("names" if you know mangaka lingo) for the manga and the animation studio just repurposed them as storyboards, skipping the usual steps of having someone turn the source material into a screenplay and then creating the storyboards from that. So if it seems like a shot-for-shot adaptation of the manga, it's because that's what they're quite literally doing :v:

The biggest divergence so far that I've noticed are the backgrounds, which makes sense since those are usually mostly absent at the draft stage. Take the scene in ep 2/ch 3 where Souya runs into Torai, for example: in the manga it's set in your standard park in the middle of the city, while in the anime it's on some kind of seaside jogging path next to a forest.

(Also, Mizukami drew the drafts in about 1 year, not 4)

This is tangential ("Karellen" and "Rashaverak" are names of characters in this book), but does anyone know when Childhood's End was translated into Japanese? This thing doesn't even mention a translation

Japanese Wikipedia says 1964, with retranslations in 1969 and 2007.

and Mizuakmi('s frog avatar) himself


And he's standing between the Spirit Circle aliens, too.
Also spotted the sparrows from the Nihonmatsu Siblings in another scene and I'm pretty sure a bunch of others are from his one-shots.
