Anime City combines gameplay of a survival simulator and classic anime visual novels. You will have to study in a Japanese high school, engage in after school activities, and try to make new friends. Features: * Anime Culture: The game is focused on anime culture and aesthetics, authentically recreating building designs, clothes, food, activities, and other essential elements of anime and manga about school life. * School and Clubs: In addition to attending regular school classes (history, physical education, Japanese language, cooking) you can join one of after school clubs (gardening, tennis, drama, science, music) and perform tasks assigned by club leaders. * Friendship: You can improve your relationships with your classmates and other characters by spending time together and inviting them to club events. * Skills: Your character's skills (fashion, cooking, science, sports, social, gardening, faith, arts) affect your personal stats, and your success of interactions with other characters. Improving these skills will require engaging in school activities or after-school clubs. * Customization: You can start to play as a girl or a boy, with a range of parameters to customize, and 20+ equipment slots for clothes and accessories. You can also set up various furniture and decorations in your apartment. * Survival Simulator: Your character has health, hunger, thirst, energy, and comfort stats. During the game, you'll have to balance limited resources and take care of your character's needs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenSaury at none against Anime City's 2. OpenSaury also leads on iOS requirement (8.1 vs 16.0). Anime City's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 60 months) and ratings volume (199 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
