Case in point of why adaptations of animated stuff falls flat more often than not. It is like getting musical actors to act the same way they do on a stage but with closeup cameras.

Fucking parts with the first person camera was like the goddam sleep paralysis demon coming for my soul

I'm guessing it's to hide how cheap the sets and effects are.

They remix the sequences and stories, change some plot points, and flesh out some stuff from the series, Ed shows up after some of the heavier scenes.
