## Season Architecture & Lore Primers

### Season 1 (13 Episodes)
Sixteenbit Sensation: Another Layer is an animation, comedy, and sci-fi and fantasy television series that aired from October to December 2023. The show was produced by Studio Silver and carries a TV-14 rating. 

The protagonist of the series is Konoha Akisato, a nineteen-year-old illustrator in 2023 who loves beautiful girls and bishōjo games, which are games focused on beautiful girls. Although she works at a company making mobile and social games, she is stuck performing low-level background art instead of fulfilling her dream of becoming a top illustrator. The narrative takes a fantastical turn when she obtains a classic bishōjo game, specifically the venerable Dokyusei, and finds herself transported back in time to 1992, which marks the dawn of the bishōjo game era.
