Im kinda confused. So even without the k3 justifications, the anime still scales to 1-A (unless there is a k3 anime)?
Ive only watched one fight from the anime and made a few memes using the visual novels (since there is a suprising amount of meme potential from the verse). Ive heard masadaverse is quite a hard verse to get into. It seems confusing but still rather interesting. Although i dont even know where to get a visual novel tbf lol.
No, I wouldn't cross canons. The anime is its own thing, and shouldn't scale to the cosmology established in KKK, so it isn't 1-A.
If you want to get into the Visiual Novel. You can get it on
Steam here.
You can play the "Common Route" for free. The common route is the first six chapters. Within these chapters, you can click options that will determine which route you are in, the specific stories and endings are in two DLCs that cost $20 each.
To best experience the story, you need to follow the route order of:
Kasumi ---> Kei ----> Marie -----> Rea
There is a guide that is avaliable on Steam to aid you in said endeavor, although it is a little outdated since there was an update which limited the amount of chocies to push players into picking the correct route order, but it is still viable, I believe. And if you have any extra questions, we are all here to help.
If you are too poor or stingy, you can also check out this
YouTube channel.
He has all route orders and side stories available to watch, I believe. And there is no added commentary.
