Also there is a novel set in Chuubo's universe, Fable of the Swan. It's well written and brain warping in the best way possible. Basically Town is strange and wonderful and chock full of hooks for interesting stories.

My feelings upon opening the PDF, and seeing how good the layout and art are:

Okay, review time, I guess. I definitely feel that the layout/art version helps me parse the game better, and more importantly, helps me sell the game to newcomers. The fact that I can point to images of what life in Town is like is great, helped along by incredibly solid art direction. It's much easier to get across the idea that this is a game where interpersonal interactions can be just as important as combat, if not more so. (I think Principal Entropy tends to look down on fisticuffs) Add in the fact that the various Genre Icons are colorcoded, as are any boxes dealing with one, and I can say I genuinely regret not springing for a physical copy.

To me, the major difference between Chuubo and Nobilis is that of scale. In Nobilis, you're playing the embodiment of a concept, with all the cosmic power that entails. Meanwhile, in Chuubo, the characters do have supernatural abilities, but nothing nearly on the level of an Imperator. Plus, the world is Nobilis is much more fantastical than Chuubo's Miyazaki-inspired magical realism. As to the art, it's still pretty "anime" akin to Nobilis 3e, but there's a stronger sense of cohesiveness to the various works, in that they all could be from the same place, rather than sort of cobbled together.
