>>88317848all of 2022 and some of 2023 had a kind of malaise set in for holoEN, due to Council's patchy streaming and the gen feeling like it had flamed out/burned out only like 3-4 months after debuting, which was way way too fucking short a collapse. Sana quitting making it just feel like a flop, several of the Myths cut back drastically on streaming etc and then instead of the relief of a fresh new set of girls, we got pointless asinine starsEN dramas as well.
Advent as a gen really should have been fucking named Resurrection because that's basically what they did for peoples' spirits and hopes for the branch. Justice is kind of like ".. more already?" and although people weren't exactly chomping at the bit for more new girls, it doesn't really hurt to have more either and now EN actually feels like a solid stable branch now, it's reaching the critical mass point where very unlike before, it's now unusual for there to be a lot of dead hours which helps make it a more reliable thing to come check out.
>tl;dr there are enough girls now that we can pretty consistently expect daily streams of some kind, which is extremely different from the situation of 1-2 years ago, and this helps the fandom strengthen and snowball
