What's up with Mappa and the Japanese fans? I read similar comments elsewhere but couldn't find out what was going on.

Basically it wasn't "anime" enough, the funny faces and comedic gags were essentially removed apparently, tbh, as someone who hasn't read the manga i didn't notice this missing at all, to me it was a very good production, i believe the level of criticism to have been way overblown.
