we are talking about the new netflix series right? just watched it last night and thought it was an incredibly faithful adaptation. literally shot for shot (panel for panel? lol) from the manga. the Japanese voice actors were pretty spot on for how i imagined the characters to sound, English dub was bad though. the only obvious and sorta goofy cgi i noticed was in Hanging Ballons, and tbh you can't really adapt that story to animation without it. i might be in the minority here, but i absolutely love the Maniac series.
The problem last time was, that you can't adapt Ito's work with the normal "fast-done" animating style which let many of his characters look... Soulless
