Overall: Very well sourced and illustrated article! New enough, long enough, and both hooks are interesting (but I have a personal interest in ALT1). The only thing I did not go fully in-depth on was all the sources, as many are in Japanese, and in that case I am AGF because I don't speak the language. Thank you for your quality contributions, cheers! Johnson524 10:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
