It’s a choice, actually. Like it’s a vibe. We’re pretty proud of it.” The team also took pride in the fan reception to character designs and voice actor reveals, which were met with enthusiasm.
“Honestly, we were super happy with all the fan reactions regarding the characters that were revealed,” Bordier added.
