>>8300853I doubt they let ID or EN have a lot of say in the design process before they showed how they can also be popular
keep in mind that ID2 was scouted in June 2020 and ready in Aug, but didn't debut until Dec
the ID ochame kinou medley was done a long time before their debut, it's just that Cover are incredibly incompetent and love to delay things
also, Anya was a girl with no prior streaming experience and didn't want to impose herself on the artist or rigger's work, she is still like that to this day with people she isn't close to
the fact that ID2 rode on the coattails of EN and was a success made it possible for her to request the design of her outfit
do you remember how very low effort the birthday goods of hers were? that's because talents need to pay for designing their merch themselves and Cover still wasn't sure about bow they were going to do, given the fact that they make merch plans like months before the actual reveal
she's happy with her current outfit thanks to the design and it's great to see her in a good mood because of it
it can be better if they got rid of the rigger and replaced them, but she has other priorities than to get a model redesign that might not bring in a new audience if it turns out like Risu
did Risu even get a considerable boost when she got an update? there's your answer
