Picture Dramas are a variation of animated shows, with the difference that there is not much animation to behold. They generally consist of a stories told in a series of still drawings, with voice actors performing the various roles, often having the "camera" move over the picture from character to character. In this, they could be seen as a form between [[Anime]] and [[Audio Adaptation|drama CDs]]. The emphasis is generally on the voice performances though, with the pictures functioning as visual aids.
Line 6:
Sometimes picture dramas still contain a slight amount of animation, mostly by supposedly moving the on-screen characters around like puppets. They also tend to be produced in a different style, with [[Super-Deformed]] characters being the norm.
 
Nowadays most popular anime are accompanied by a picture dramas and often find their way as [[Omake]] on DVD-releases. They are clearly cheaper to make, but still offer the involved artists, writers and and voice actors an outlet for showcasing their talents--andtalents—and of course generating extra revenue. Whether the stories told are part of the official canon differs from show to show, very much in line with the status of most [[Audio Adaptation|audio adaptations]].
