But it will be interesting to see what might be done with the most distinctive feature of "The Green Yuri"--I have never thought the story would benefit from either full-color or standard B&W. And the trademark treatment of oblique framing and the dense layering of dialogue and figurative elements in the panels have kept me coming back and re-reading this one over and over (it's not uncommon for me to re-read favorite yuri manga, but not often just to look closely at the details of the panels). I like that the pictures don't move in this one, because that means I can spend as much time with them as I want.

Maybe they'll just do it like the Sin City movie, and do it in black and white and green.

While I don't doubt they'll do some creative color work (green yuri is part of the identity of the comic, I am sure the anime will make liberal use of green shades) I doubt it'll just be black and white and green. That's a tough sell and it isn't really necessary. It's not like western comics where being black and white is unusual, therefore you have to adapt Sin City in black & white to match. ALL manga is black and white, so it's standard to add color to anime adaptations.

I'm more curious how they're going to structure the story. is it still going to be short vignettes? Are they going to add connective tissue? I mean, I'm gonna be honest, I love this series, but the structure of the chapters is definitely born from the format, and even translating that into book form made it read a little weird. I would not be surprised if readers who first discover it as a book don't read it and wonder if there are pages missing.

You could consider adapting it as a collection of shorts, if you wanted to keep the structure the same, but if they're making it into episodes, I feel like it'd be pretty stilted without more connective tissue.

While I don't doubt they'll do some creative color work (green yuri is part of the identity of the comic, I am sure the anime will make liberal use of green shades) I doubt it'll just be black and white and green.

It wouldn't surprise me if they just "normalized" the color scheme, perhaps going with either City-like clear lines or a watercolor scheme. Maybe they can license a lot of Green Day songs to compensate.
