Okay yeah a quick skim through made it pretty clear as to why the anime feels so flat in comparison to the images that live in my head
So much of blue period is in the expressions, the pauses, the body language of the characters, and the framework of dynamic angles and lighting to inform the mood of the scene and none of that is present in the anime for one reason or other (be it time constraints of screentime, inexperience of staff, etc.)
