Hiroshi Hamasaki sells good execution for 10 dollars per anime!

Nah, I think execution in this context refers to any actions by the director (or relevant staff) to make this adaptation of a harem/school/romance VN stand out from the rest, for example. Basically, "execution" is any artistic direction that is permitted by the concept/premise of the show. So "it's" separate from the source material. Call it "artistic liberty" while still staying within the boundaries set by the source material.

I think "execution" is something like that. So it is indeed a fuzzy concept.

But like you rightly point out, "execution" itself is an interesting concept worthy of its own discussion, I'd wager.

But that's the problem of many threads in any forum: they boil down to questions of definitions. Not to say they are boring. I can't, after all, pretend to argue with you if I don't understand the definitions of your terms.
