Visual aspects enhance storytelling by creating atmosphere. For instance, dark colors and spooky character designs can quickly set a horror - themed story. The panel layout can control the pacing. Smaller panels for quick action and larger ones for more important or slower moments. Character expressions are also a big part.

Anime from visual novels often have a more in - depth character development.

Unlike some other anime that might have a more straightforward plot for the sake of action or quick entertainment.
