Live2D Animation Field Research

In the spirit of academic research,
I downloaded GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE.
I've been keeping an eye on their Live2D animations for a long time, and I'm so hyped it's finally out!!!!
The character designs are top-tier. I've only been playing for about thirty minutes, but wrapping up the tutorial actually brought a tear to my eye. That final cutscene was masterfully directed and surprisingly moving—it really hit me in the feels.
Also, the Live2D animations when characters pop their skills are insanely good!! They even throw in some dynamic camera movement, which makes the whole thing feel incredibly cinematic!!!
I really hope I can reach this level of quality with my own work in a year's time~
What's up with the gacha in this game, though? Is this white-haired girl the only SR left in the pool?!?!
