>>19654884I never wanted an EN branch and I will never want one, but it was inevitable and it's clear they're being more aggressive with the audition applications after recent events. My primary concern has always been for them to gain a stronger local presence and this is certainly not going to help with that. Still, I'm not going to anti the guys but my interest is non-existent. My wish is for whatever audience they garner to not spill over the JP boys' side, whether they're well behaved or not, lest they scare away more Japanese viewers.
The only way I'll seriously hate any of the EN guys is if they say "my oshi is from Myth/Council" on their debut, start with the "but don't clip it, teehee! Don't tell her!" bullshit, and overall show no interest on their senpai. Other than that, my feelings towards them will be of indifference.
I only hope my oshi handles things like how he's always handled them.
