For years I’ve characterized the Japanese powerhouse predominantly as a consumer electronics manufacturer. Crunchyroll, its anime-focused video service, has evolved into the world’s largest portfolio of anime content and now counts 10 million paying subscribers.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. The random caveats and various in-dev inconsistencies with regular Unity would also be frustrating. Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.)
