>>38955866The 3 JP-ENs as their own wave would have caught a lot of interest because it's a very opposite direction from what they'd been doing, but because they're buried in the xsoilel clusterfuck people both don't immediately realize "hey this is literally like 3 Pikamees, 3 inverse Cocos guys" or they know, but because it's a mixed-gender wave assume they're just gonna be trash.
I wouldn't say the JP girls instantly-excel a lot as chuubas but they're not bad either, and due to the nature of what they are (little-known pasts, no obvious political slants, not obligately-Western, legit feels more anime because it's literally-a-Japanese-girl) they can easily win over people who want a more authentic-feeling vtuber experience.
