>>22703276I really like Gura. She seems sweet and I find most of her jokes funny (I'm not too fond of some of the zoomer stuff though). She also doesn't get into a lot of political hot takes or social drama, and doesn't rely on HAHA WOMAN SEX for entertainment value. Also she doesn't go all in on pandering, and has some awareness of when certain jokes are going stale (maybe except for feet). She has a voice that I find very pleasant to listen to, and I enjoy her singing. Additionally, to me it truly seems like she is genuinely a bit of a nerd, and not some basic normal girl who saw a route to fame and money and applied to Hololive to extract as much as possible from le lonely incels. She can handle the fame well enough to deflect grifters, and she doesn't get involved with roommate affairs.
Like most people she has her flaws, but overall I think she's pretty solid and there are a lot of worse EN chuubas that could've received the spotlight instead. Unfortunately like other things that have become popular, she has some number of rabid fans that blindly believe her to be the greatest most talented everything ever. I don't have the expertise to rate her objectively, but I've tried all the Holo and Niji EN streamers, as well as some indies, and I enjoy watching Gura the most.
