They definitely wanted to give the same mood and introduction, which is fine, since it gives a proper impression of the characters (and I didn't expect all battle jokes being there, so heh), but the animation is just subpar: frankly, there is really a massive amount of stillshots, and it isn't helped with the lack of gradients and the bland/washed out colors.
I guess the scans and sketches we have been shown are really irrelevant.
