Not sure about anyone of you but in my case the experience is terrible. Initial load 3.7 secs, then additional assets were downloaded +7secs. And this all just to show the button "Enter" which was unresponsive. After waiting for a couple more seconds background appeared. At this point I've spent 10 seconds on a site. FYI I'm on 16'mbp so there is more than enough processing power. Maybe it is because of 11MB the website needs for the button to start working (delivered via 114 requests), but on the other hand my network throughput is around 100mb. edit: Network monitor says that each of png tiles (~300B) took 11sec on average to receive. edit: Still can reproduce this but the loading time fluctuates 3-11secs. I'm on FFv87. Maybe I'm too far from the CDN server.

On my phone, loading the website is instant, loading the button to enter takes 2 seconds or less, and actually entering the scene is instant.

16"MBP here too, in Safari - it was surprisingly fast for me.

I'm on Android running the latest beta of Firefox and after an initial black screen for a second or two, the website operates quite smoothly. I have seen quite a few comments from people on Macbooks that have a terrible experience with the website, though, so maybe the problem is related to that? It could be that the GPU isn't great at rendering the specific code path this website hits, or that the network card hits some kind of edge case with the way this website deals with its assets, or something entirely different. It could also just be that the richer dev crowd generally buys Macbooks and the numbers are overstated, of course.

Experience was pretty bad and i had to reload several times for the assets to even load. I'm willing to give it a pass considering it's not exactly meant to be a high traffic website that a lot of people are meant to use every day though I could understand someone instantly closing off of it. It's whimsical and interesting which is certainly the message they were going for considering the intent of the website itself and resulted in more discussion about its mission than it would normally earn on social media, I think. Talking about the good ol' days of Japan's economic dominance and how it was perceived as a creative powerhouse on a bland corporate website would probably fail to deliver its message.
