The Big Problem Blue Period Fans Have With The Anime Adaptation

Imagine a story about a boy making art but the actual art-making scenes are instead placed second to relationship drama. This is what has many "Blue Period" manga fans angrily taking to Reddit to discuss. User Environmental_Case54 wrote: "Now OK so I'm upset currently about the anime ... they skipped so much of basics that the manga actually talks about and teaches the audience about art and how people make it. I understand that their going to cut things out BUT that doesn't makes sense for this story."

Another fan, photoshopuser1, had similar feelings and responded, "...The anime appears more focused on drama between characters and less so on the act and internal dialogue of drawing and painting.... It misses that aspect of the manga so far. I love Blue Period because it's focus is in the artist's journey but the anime so far is meh."

Plenty of "Blue Period" fans agree that the anime adaptation has had a rocky start, but that sentiment could change in the upcoming weeks as new episodes are released.
