>Bettel Had the best energy, was captivating throughout, nice use of visual queues and was enjoyable to listen to, also self-deprecation humility was spectacular. Nice model, but awful mouth rigging. Well rounded and looks like he'll be great in collabs
>FlayGets by mostly on his tastes and best introduction video/effects of any debut to date. Best model by far, perfect voice for it, but reeks of being a downer in his personality going by how many likes "emotionally" impacted him. I expect him to be decent, but bring the mood down in his own streams a lot.
>Shinri Exists. Didn't stand out at all besides the voice. Disappointed Cover went for fujobait after Tempus did such a great job showing brotubers can succeed. Scatterbrained debut, failed to tap into what made listening to Vesper work. Could be good if he lets more of his dorky side show. Model is just OK, but looks a bit cardboardy
>Hakka Was actively irritating. Leant too hard on being SA as his identity, least effort in their debut, awful habit ofmumblinghiswordsTHEN SHOUTING UNPROMPTED and had way too much energy. Incredible model, I will never get to see it. Singlehandedly carries them musically though, but it's hard to give a shit about subpar ENWeebcore when the personality behind it isn't good.
Overall, it's similar to Gen1 where it was half good half meh, but without the potential for them growing on me. It's another ambitious gen trying to get more audiences so I'll give them that, but there's no real synergy in the group besides LoL. Listening to the group collab now, I don't feel as much camaraderie as Tempus and nobody drummed up the hype nearly as well as Magni or Nowa.
