>>22949776Funny how people were so eager to pile on fungus chungus for dare stating council is a flop but I mean, he IS right, flopcil is the most disappointing followup to something since the Star Wars prequels / sequels. Obviously he shouldn't have said that anywhere near a place it could show up on stream but still it's obvious to anyone with eyes and the ability to comprehend numbers.
People are quick to try to blame pandemic lifting and Susan but I think major aspects are the designs (sana), being unappealing on debut trying too hard to fit lore that nobody gives a shit about, and omega killing the mood by being a distracting, awkward presence. Having a declared godlike staff figure lording over them is like a girl bringing her dad along for a date to watch over you or something, it's hard to put it but just visibly seeing them on a leash around that guy feels so fundamentally fucking wrong and really off/fucked for Hololive. Cover staff is best covered as just A-chan and that's it - humble office worker, not really closely connected to anyone besides being generic Cover.
The gen also took turns getting off on the wrong foot between most of the members over a variety of things. I will say, they are these days showing a bit of recovery - most of them stream now, even Sana actually is back, but their being so fucking weak right at the start was the absolute worst fucking way and time to do it.
