->A lot of this may be due to the writing style. (…) Apart from mentions of drawing paper screen doors aside, I have NO idea what Mount Fuji, home of mystical fantastical godlike beings, looks like. This is incredibly disappointing, particularly since one of the big draws of the fantasy genre is absorbing yourself in something completely different. This lack of description means I just [watched] generic notions of what houses and stuff looked like, which kind of defeats the object of setting something in a different culture.

-> ''""You should be able to control your ideas in a way that the audience sees, feels and understands what YOU want them to see, feel and understand. You have to be able to present your ideas simply and clearly. Vagueness is a sign of poor writing. Don't try to be fancy or show-offy. That tends to muddy up your ideas and baffles the readers, artists and audience. Use the fewest possible words to say what is happening. Clarity is also important to the artists who have to follow up on what your ideas are. If they have to muddle through vague writing, storyboarding and overly complicated details, they will have trouble understanding what the point is that they have to convey to the audience. If you are writing an outline, write with short simple sentences that tell clearly what is happening. Do not try to impress the artists with fancy-ass flowery prose and inverted sentence structures. They won't be impressed. They will be frustrated and confused and will not do their jobs well."''
