If you were
expecting live action anime in Tokyo Chronos, keep in mind that
visual novels (VN's) involve mostly static backgrounds and characters
with short animations, if any. If you're familiar with Live2D in some
VN's, the characters in Tokyo Chronos were animated similarly, with
blinking eyes, moving lips when speaking, and a few other small
movements here and there. Each character had a good range of body
poses and facial expressions, which helped amplify the impact of the
dialogue. The dialogue was nicely voice acted and fit each character
well, but it was all only in Japanese. Reading the printed dialogue
is a must for those unfamiliar with spoken Japanese, though this of
course won't be unusual for anime fans. The text is clearly printed
inside your sight range, wherever you look. There is even an option
to fix the text to a horizontal level so it doesn't stay in your
vision if you look up or down. No worries for those of you with VR
motion sickness, because you cannot move in Tokyo Chronos. The story
places your character in every scene, positioning you to stand, talk,
and observe everything around you, taking in the atmosphere as the
story unfolds.
