Crown Description:

Inaction Sequence is a trope that's explicitly about how anime adaptations of manga will use a specific form of padding to extend the original work's fights to overcome the problem of the fight being over in a few minutes of animation in the new medium; the fights get extended by putting in a lot of non-action sequences to drag out the fight. However, it has the following problems:

1. This trope has existed since at least August 2008, yet it only has 20 on-page works (some with multiple bullet points) and 111 wicks.
2. The redirect "Not So Fast" (which is a holdover from the trope's original name) had only a handful of examples, all of which were misuse for the dialogue-based "Aha! Not so fast!" moments.
3. Both the on-page examples and wicks indicate that this is almost exclusively anime/manga-based, and its origins do lie with anime adaptations of manga. The three non-Anime examples on the trope page are either discussions about this happening in anime, or a parody of it happening in anime.
4. There was a TRS for this in 2011 to clean-up misuse. At the time, the biggest source of misuse was ignoring the requirement for the example to be about non-action padding that's added to an adaption of an action sequence from an original work. While the clean-up did happen, the subject of it having wider conceptual problems was flagged. However, the TRS was eventually closed due to lack of activity, so nothing was resolved.
5. There is a possibility that this is not distinct enough from Padding to merit its own trope.
