I recoil at a lot of anime-flavored RPGs, but this one got past all my defenses. Loved: relatively straight-faced-but-fun medieval/fantasy setting, anime aesthetics that don't feel like they belong to any particular era, likeable characters, writing that is generally funny when it tries to be, and most of all, an endless parade of gorgeous 3D pixel art levels which reveal themselves as you pivot the camera around at 90 degree increments. This is really the star of the show. Just walking around these levels with the sound on will make your heart ache. There's something about how they render the little shines on the surface of clear water that is endlessly fun to look at.
