>>54395158I genuinely think Nijisanji just doesn't care, because EN is a spinoff branch through and through and it will always be an afterthought to them compared to JP. I'm sure some NijiEN fans will argue the same for HoloEN and though that may be true, HoloEN undeniably treated their talents better (at least they did this year) by giving them a live concert, proper Home 3D for the whole branch, plenty of outfits, unique merchandise that isn't based off of the same template, and it seems like this time there's a proper attempt to shake up management compared to the awful decisions made in 2022. Whether it was just coincidental or not, it resulted in most of branch going MIA and the crying for help kino that was Kiara's sock puppet streams.
Meanwhile NijiEN's management seem bizarrely fine having it rot. They cancelled a concert not only a week after announcing it
to where 3/5 Luxiem members made fun of "COVID" being the reason it got sacked, to date Lazulight is still the only wave that has any form of Home 3D and Pomu's is delayed until 2024, Iluna still doesnt have new outfits after more than a year, and the excitement in the fanbase is clearly waning and yet nothing is being done to revitalize it.
