Use the first reference image (9 panel storyboard contact sheet whose cells are labelled TAKE 01 to TAKE 09) as ordered key poses TAKE 01-TAKE 09 for ONE unbroken LOCKED shot: the camera never moves, the action passes through TAKE 01 to TAKE 09 inside a fixed frame, without cuts or holds; completely ignore its line-sketch style, panel frames, gutters and any text.
LOOK & WORLD: Modern 2D cel-shaded anime with painted backgrounds and clean confident linework. On a city rooftop at dusk, two fighters in simple training clothes trade staff work inside a chalk circle. Warm low dusk light, long shadows on concrete, cool blue city haze behind. One fixed 24mm lens, deep focus, cinematic. The lens never changes.
CONTINUITY (binding, not flavour): Locked frontal wide at waist height, unchanged from TAKE 01 to TAKE 09. Stage anchors hold their positions throughout: rooftop water tank screen-left, chalk circle center, city skyline screen-right, crate at right. The chalk circle is unbroken through TAKE 04; scuff marks start at TAKE 05 and persist. One staff drops at TAKE 06 and stays on the ground for the rest of the take. The screen-left fighter is upright through TAKE 07 and grounded from TAKE 08 on. Stage anchors hold their screen positions throughout, the camera height never changes, and every state pinned to a TAKE number is true from that TAKE onward and false before it. Never invent a shot that the sheet does not have.
ACTION & CAMERA: the camera is bolted down. No cuts, no zoom, no pan, no tilt, no tracking, no shake, no reframing. Only the action moves, entering and leaving a fixed frame.
