It's a similar methodology, my problem with things like this is that they do give you comprehensible input, but it's very boring. I don't engage at all. The idea of Katarineko is to create comprehensible input from content that interests you. Say you want to watch Spirited Away but it's a bit too advanced for you at the moment, we create stories at your level for Spirited Away to teach you the core words you need to achieve your target comprehension level.
