"Regarding Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam, your app primarily includes dating features that duplicate the content and functionality of similar apps in a saturated category'.
Our app is a dating app for anime fans, we feature Tinder-like swiping but have many distinguishing features.

We were hoping to launch next week and this is a huge disappointment, we even have a Japanese localization in progress.
I think the tester had a bad experience due to swiping without interaction on the seeded profiles -- so I resubmitted so they can experience a=our distinguishing features like our anime recommendation engine.
Anyway, is there a way forward? I've filed an appeal, but I would hate to miss launching ahead of Valentine's Day.

That's not the point raised by reviewer. It is a more general policy on the appstore: there are already too many such apps in the AppStore and they don't want new ones any more. So, looks like you have no way to publish on the App Store.
