The entire concept of playing a whole ass anime of Don Quixote (or rather, one of Don Quixote's nightmarish delusions I suppose lmao) that isn't on rails like Super Don Quixote is ultra neat. There are plenty of fully voice acted animated cutscenes to go around, along with fully animated frontal view enemies and player character-based attacks to bring everything to life. Even the dungeon exploring keeps the same animation style. It's honestly so seamless, and thankfully makes for yet another sub-10 hour JRPG which is in hilariously short supply for my liking. The story is honestly super whatever and I'm sure you could write a thesis on how it betrays the narrative of the book, and the music isn't the best other than the oddly catchy battle theme. But still, in an era where "cartoon games" consisted of QTE fests, this is a game that's still super fascinating for how seamless it feels even today. I wish it was on PC or emulatable (is that a word? it is now ig) at all.

I'm not really familiar with the world of DVD player games, so discovering that nor only there's a Don Quixote one, but also that it has RPG elements is... not something I expected to learn today, to be honest. Super interesting hame and really cool review!
