The tone is light and playful, which contrasts nicely with the depth of the source material. You get a sense of nostalgia and pride in the culture, which is refreshing. The animation style has its own unique charm, not your typical high-gloss stuff, more like a handcrafted feel that gives the characters a bit of grit.
