That makes sense to me, especially as a distinct category compared to western cartoons. It also does draw a bit more from Chinese culture than Japanese, which would probably mean it would not qualify on that ground.

Definitely has some inspiration/similarities though, so not a surprising comp.

It does feel like it was made to attract anime fans/be something that could lead people to trying anime though.

The more I think about it, the less and less it has anything that really connects it to anime. Other than having a general inspiration from a mix of East Asian/Indigenous cultures, it’s not really connected to the style/tropes of the genre in any real way when I consider it.

Dang, what made you bounce off of TPW?

My dentist said I needed to come back for something, and I almost asked if I could just get rid of my teeth so I’d never have to again.

I feel like it’s 1/2 cozy, 1/4 funny introvert humor, 1/4 adventure (that’s in the way of the next “why are people around me” but).

Thanks! I think I have Morisaki Bookshop on my bookshelf. So I will need to start there for sure.

Any recommendations? That sounds like what I need for reading currently.

“Money does not work to rebuild a society you collapse without having a real post revolution plan.” Good to know.

That is one thing I’m not a fan of. Maybe it makes shields better as you can choose units with them and keep the shield? But also seems like it nerfs the value of small health units getting shields.

The indirect damage addition is what I’m now curious about. The ping damage is about to get out of control.

I believe it’s been confirmed by people from them that is how it works. I think the counterbalance is supposed to be that 1) you can play as unit and now upgrade counters are not useable, and 2) upgrade removal focus makes other strategies better. Hopefully a big meta!

This survey is making me think a lot about how much the transparency matters versus additional outside research of a product. Very interested in what you find.
