MODERATORS
I've only kind of thumbed through the book at bit at this point, but it seems to be a very anime and video games focused system. The way they present and talk about different things can definitely evoke a video gamey feel. For example, instead of HP everything has "hearts".
As for anime, there's a lot of really anime-like things all over the book, such as a cat boy/girl race, a "chibi" race, and various other anime inspired material.
As for the actual game content, it seems rather interesting. The very basic mechanics aren't that hard to grasp, but there's a lot of detail thrown on top of it.
The basic rules of the game are the following:
Every character gets a calling (class), species, homeland and history (background), and quirk. Classes have a variety of traits, and choose from traits on level up at some various cadence.
Classes in the game:
Species:
Most traits and abilities will give you either minor/major bonuses in certain circumstances or an edge (or prevent penalties/snags)
a few things i find interesting:
Overall, i'm not incredibly sure how the game will work out, but it seems interesting. The actual layout and design of the book, though, is extremely gorgeous.
