Another thing I want to test my tolerance levels against is just how anime it is. Very, is probably the answer to that, which may prompt me to turn it off faster than its gacha stuff depending on how grating the English voiceover is. I like to think I’ve built up a reasonably good anime nonsense buffer over the years, as much of my early 20s was spent watching various series through gritted teeth where I knew 100% I wasn’t the welcome or target audience for it, and I enduringly put up with its terrible fan service and raging hormonal idiot men far longer than I probably should have. Here’s hoping there are lots of interesting language options to try to make it more digestible.

Really, though, I just want to see what its turn-based battles are like. Its mix of normal, special and ultimate attacks sound right up my street, and cor, I do love a disruptible turn queue, not gonna lie. This bit from ourHonkai: Star Rail reviewsounds pretty great, too.

Yes please. More of that, thanks.
