Picture Dramas are a variation of animated shows, with the difference that there is not much animation to behold. They generally consist of a stories told in a series of still drawings, with voice actors performing the various roles, often having the "camera" move over the picture from character to character. In this, they could be seen as a form between Anime and drama CDs. The emphasis is generally on the voice performances though, with the pictures functioning as visual aids. Also known as animated motion comics.
