I was surprised to see they are sticking to the books with the pace. I've seen a lot of Book to Anime series over the last 2 years and most of them speed it up. In fact, I think they've ruined 'Berserk of Gluttony' by skipping way too much detail. This one, they are sticking to the pace and detail that was written. It makes sense since DUBU died and this is going to be an homage to him, no offense to Chugong who may be overshadowed here because of a death.
When an Anime Studio gets a hold of content, they make some strange decisions when it comes to time compression or what will/won't be okay with fans. Luckily, we are getting a real good version of the Anime in comparison with the books..........which is the entire reason it's been so popular.
This series has been a success because the story and characters are intelligently written and there is a beginning and an ending that takes a while to get to, but not too long and not the 'Never Ending Story'.
One thing I've noticed, the Studio didn't try to take a Brutal Novel/Manga series and try to make it "Family Friendly" which is happening way too much lately. This is brutal because it's the only way to define the Protagonist's drive and how he ends up. Kudos for keeping most of the brutality of the world Chugong created.
I gave this 10/10 because the story speaks to me and they didn't screw up the Anime.....to this point.
