Doga Kobo tends to adapt series that have one joke and on paper sound like they would work a lot better as a short. They bring these single-joke mangas to life with lush animation, bright colours and detailed character acting. Sometimes, through a combination of clever humor and strong direction, you end up with a series that's way funnier and more heartwarming than it has any right to be, like Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, WataTen or Urara Meirocho. But other times, you can direct the hell out of something and there's just no saving the flat characters and dull jokes. Sadly, such is the case with Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence.
