>>1214179I will gladly be honest. Never listened to her before HoloFes but her performance floored me and made me want to look into her more. Listened to her music and got really into her. I was iffy on joining her membership until someone mentioned that she was going to do a members-only stream of drawing emotes, which sounds cute given we don't know anything about her art skills. I can't miss a thing like that. She also speaks a very tiny amount of English and made the effort of translating some of her stream notes like how Subaru does so I look forward to the saga of her learning to say things other than "thank you very muchu!"
But mostly I just love utawaku style streamers and she seems to do that, and that's sorely lacking in Hololive, so I'm in. So yeah I don't disagree that her redesign is great, but it's just the icing on the cake for me, it was HoloFes that opened the door to AZKi for me.
