>>23456248In terms of how obsessed they are with Japan, they are ranked as follows:
Kiara > Mori >= IRyS > Sana >= Ina > Fauna > Mumei > Ame > Gura > Kronii >= Bae
Kiara: Loves Japan and Japanese culture (japanese idol culture in particular) to the point where she actually become an idol in Japan. She is so in love with the culture that she learned how to draw very well in manga style, learned how to speak Japanese fluently, and continues to obsess over Japan even back in Europe like when she went to Dusseldorf. She has extensive knowledge about Japan and, despite coming face to face with the horros of actually living there, the place has not lost its appeal to her and she continues to love it wholeheartedly.
Mori: She is not so much a huge fan of Japanese otaku culture, but is instead a fan of Japanese rap. She liked Japan enough to live there permanently which is something that most "weebs" only dream of doing. She is also able to speak Japanese well enough. Her interest in anime is "normie" level but her interest in Japan is definitely not considering she moved there.
IRyS: She is the biggest ani-otaku in EN. She loves Japan and is very knowledgeable about Japanese culture which makes sense considering she is part Japanese herself. Whether her heritage disqualifies her from being a weeb is up for debate.
Sana: Im not so sure about Sana since I have watched her the least out of EN. Taking into account her anime taste in her debut and in the crunchyroll interview, her interest in anime and manga is significant. She was also able to communicate quite well with Pekora in that one minecraft collab so she has done her Japanese reps. Her anime-style art shows lots of dedication to this style and she has skill that can only be achieved through a love of the medium. Im not sure whether she is above or below Ina.
Ina: She makes many references to anime in her streams but, from what I have seen, they are from popular series such as Code Geass and Steins Gate. I think I remember hearing her say she doesnt watch as much anime anymore due to work. However, her dedication to anime/manga style art shows that she has enough interest in Japan to dedicate hundreds of hours of her life to it. Her Japanese ability is also quite good.
Fauna: She has detailed her love of anime and manga in stories of her youth. Her knowledge of anime/manga goes beyond that of the typical fan and is most likely second to only IRyS (and maybe Sana). She spent lots of time drawing anime/manga style art and had a huge manga collection as a child. She was also interested in cosplay as well. I may be misremembering but i think she has mentioned doing her wanikani reps at one point as well. All of this combined shows that she has much more than a surface level appreciation of Japanese culture, though it is mostly anime otaku culture.
Mumei: Has detailed her love of anime and has stayed in Japan for a month for some sort of studying. Her knowledge of Japanese is basic but her willingness to stay in Japan for an extended period of time indicates a larger than normal interest in Japanese culture. Her anime-style art also shows her dedication to the medium.
Ame: She watches more anime and reads more manga than the typical anime fan. It is safe to say that she is very interested in Japan but her obsession isnt as intense as some of the other members. She has a very basic understanding of the Japanese language and can read hiragana/katakana (sort of).
Gura: While she may not be a huge anime otaku, her interest in Japan is evident. She is very interested in vocaloid and has learned enough Japanese to read hiragana and katakana. She also has an interest in Japanese music.
Kronii: I dont know much about her interest in Japan other than her anime preferences. She likes anime enough to watch more contemplative series like Paranoia Agent which would filter the average person. She also has an above average understanding of Japanese.
Bae: Has an interest in anime/manga but im not sure about anything more than that. She is the best at Japanese only after IRyS and Kiara which indicates a significantly large interest in Japanese culture. She is also able to speak Korean though so maybe she just likes language learning. I would put her higher if I knew more about interest in Japan in general but I havent heard her talk too much about that.
I dont think any of them are completely on the "normie" end of the spectrum.
In terms of how much of a normalfag each member is (disregarding interest in Japanese culture) the list is as follows from most to least:
Bae > Mori > Kiara > IRyS > Sana > Fauna > Kronii > Ame > Mumei > Gura > Ina
Bae, Mori, Irys, Sana, and Kiara are all extroverted and have many real friends. Mumei has 0 friends in college while ame has mentioned having people over. Ina lives a hikki lifestyle and Gura has made it clear that she is lonely. Kronii is depressed and Fauna is very well-adjusted and intelligent, but soft-spoken and a bit shy.
