You've got that right!! Mr. Kurosawa had to contend with finding locations,hiring his actors,dealing with the unpredictability of the weather,losing the light,camera set-ups,transportation to & from each chosen location,etc,etc,etc. Sakai-sensei can eliminate all of that. He's got his locations,his actors,his camera all in his head...his imagination. And that can be very freeing. There is almost nowhere that he can't go in his imagination. That's the beauty of it. Oh, to be free to wander the landscape of your mind! That's what comics are all about!
