>>89151857To be fair, Shioraven got a shitton of material early on to keep the ship fed and going and unlike other times like the whole Takamori stuff it didn't felt THAT forced which eased people into it.
It also ended up monopolizing the possible ships for Advent. Biboo is loli so that's out, FWMC are tied at the hip so that's out.
But, you cannot say it was just "pair the spares" because:
Their designs mesh and go well together like crazy.
The "no way fag" dynamic is very unique for holo yuriship standards, variety's good. Rissa flirts with everyone, and everyone flirts back with her, that's whatever, no way fagging is unique and special and makes it stand out from the crowd.
Shiori is "handsome" and "cool" and with a very clear top/bottom dynamic going like that people's imaginations have a path to follow.
Yes, Shiori is a dork, but you know what? That just makes the "cool" and "handsome" moments all the more stand-out, and it adds gap moe, so ovaries now throb thrice as hard.
Yomosaka shilling probably helped the ship incline a fuckton too, and then the fucker went and is working on official things, gives it a feeling of "authenticity", you know? Surely if someone who's working officially shills it it means it's good.
Meanwhile what does Bloodraven have? Reverse colors and that they're both singers? And latter gets really dampened because of things like the whole sweetest scarlet shitfest and Rissa being an insecure faggot over her singing too.
Even if we pretended shioraven and bloodraven started at the same time I would be willing to bet anything shioraven would quickly leave bloodraven eating dust and with all the headstart it got there's no chance for bloodraven to ever catch up. Bloodraven is just for hipsters and contrarians.
