I never said that. I just said it doesn't look good without cel-shading in this case.
There's a lot of "It's anime style, so it should be cel-shaded!" stuff that goes around, so sorry if I took your personal sentiment more strongly than you intended.
I don't think it looks bad for this, though. As a hybrid phone & Current, and Next Gen game, I think the look works pretty well actually. And I find it fits in with the environments better, than cel-shade characters + normal texture backgrounds.
I do hope to see some more Cel-shade for Level-5, for sure, however. Especially fully Next-Gen games. But I'm prepared to wait a few years for those... it'll be nice to have something from them fairly early on in the new system cycle. Hope it's F2P nature doesn't keep it from being a legitimately fun game.
