Aji Fry Anime Cooking Storyboard

Goal: Create a very rough pencil storyboard sheet for a 15 second Japanese 2D anime cooking short about {argument name="dish name" default="golden aji fry"}, showing the full cooking process from raw fish to plated fried cutlet. Canvas: Ultra wide 21:9 horizontal aspect ratio, black and white pencil sketch on white paper, divided into exactly 12 rectangular panels in a 3 row by 4 column grid. Use thin black panel borders, hand drawn construction lines, loose animation layout perspective, energetic hatching, and no color. Visual style: Japanese anime storyboard / rough keyframe layout, realistic kitchen props, cinematic close ups, dynamic hands in frame action, visible sketch strokes, light shading, steam, bubbles, splashes, crumbs, and motion lines. Keep everything monochrome graphite, like a production storyboard before cleanup. Panel count and contents: Include exactly 12 discrete storyboard panels, read left to right, top to bottom. Panel 1: kitchen prep counter in perspective with three opened horse mackerel fillets on a cutting board, a hand sprinkling seasoning from above, sink and small bottles in the background. Panel 2: top down close up of both hands pressing or flattening the opened fish fillets on a tray, emphasizing preparation before breading. Panel 3: hand dropping or coating a fish fillet in a shallow tray of flour or breadcrumbs, powder and crumbs flying upward. Panel 4: chopsticks lifting a breaded fish fillet in a shallow egg or wet batter tray, another tray nearby, liquid ripples around it. Panel 5: close up of hands burying and pressing the fish into a mound of coarse panko breadcrumbs in a rectangular tray. Panel 6: large pot of hot oil on a gas stove, flames visible underneath, oil surface shimmering, kitchen shelves and bottles behind. Panel 7: long cooking chopsticks lowering a breaded fish fillet into the bubbling oil, the pot handles visible, intense frying action beginning. Panel 8: extreme close up of the frying surface packed with bubbles and crispy crumb texture around the fish. Panel 9: chopsticks lifting the fully fried crispy fish from the pot, oil dripping back down, strong steam and bubbling oil. Panel 10: the fried fish resting on a wire rack over a tray, chopsticks releasing it, oil drips beneath the rack. Panel 11: a knife cutting through the fried aji fry on a cutting board, revealing the soft white fish interior under the crunchy crust, steam rising. Panel 12: final plated dish with two crispy aji fry pieces on a round plate, shredded cabbage, a lemon wedge, steam, and a stream of dark sauce pouring from above onto the cutlet. Text content: Do not add captions, speech bubbles, numbers, logos, or watermarks; the storyboard should be purely visual. Constraints: Maintain a consistent kitchen setting and continuous cooking sequence. Make the panels feel like rough pre production art for {argument name="video length" default="15 second"} Japanese 2D animation. Use {argument name="line style" default="loose graphite pencil storyboard lines"} with {argument name="detail level" default="high food texture detail"}. Emphasize the appetizing transformation into {argument name="final dish presentation" default="a crispy golden aji fry plate with cabbage, lemon, and sauce"}, even though the image remains black and white.
