Re: 24:12, I might not be understanding the question right, but in regards to plans that survive contact with the enemy, I found that if a session ended at the beginning of a climactic battle, my players would have like 2 weeks to prepare a strategy, and they'd come in super prepared and either smash it out of the park, or it'd fall apart instantly because they'd made some critical assumptions without realising. If the battle prep/strategy talk was happening mid session for an upcoming battle, the plans would be a lot more vague, but often that benefitted the party because they could be more reactive to the live situation without having 2 weeks worth of preconceptions to fight against.
I feel this book leaned into Wuxia harder then it did to Anime. Like there are a few fairly anime things like Starlit Sentinel. But cultivator, spirit warrior, both magus things feel really wuxia more then anime to me.
37:55 Where Eric is thinking about one of the elements "being removed" is likely Air. I believe the IRL wuxing 5 elements (earth, wood, fire, water, metal) that remaster is based on, all are joined together by "Life" or "Air". In PF2 air is kind of "in the middle".
one of the first things I did with this book was make a chrysanthemum leshy inventor with the street food vendor background and a prototype companion that was its streetcart, going into Wandering Chef
I've seen the Soulforger archetype used as the 'magical girl' esque archetype before Starlit Sentinel. It even has mechanics to play off the trope of losing hope / being corrupted. It's more martial skewed being focused.
If you are uncomfortable GMing with uncommon/rare, run some "workshopping" one shots for you and your players to get their eyes in with how they handle.

Wayang fan dancer for the win!
Monks can take the Ki Blast feat, which is as anime as can be. XD
I would say Rocket is an awakened racoon gunslinger with inventor archetype.
Rocket is literally an awakened raccoon, just using tech instead of magic.
Erik you ARE a Sagittarius - it's binding
Why'd you switch cans?
Ahh, I see. Nice one!
