It was exactly what Angelo and I were talking about when it comes to popularity polls.

The likes of Hiura, Kirino, Kaze will usually have that unfair advantage. But with that, I'll say they are starting to realize a character can also show some depth and development to deserve votes, instead of lookinig good.

Gonna assume something different happened this time, not entirely based on IE itself.

Ah well, Fujos BTFO

man I hope I’m doing this right from mobile, I’ve only ever posted one reply here and that was before ares even aired, sorry if this is too long

we’re talking about that animage poll here, right? not the actual orion cast/inajapan? cause the only “generic” pretty boy that didn’t make IJ was sakuma who ironically had a much better performance than kazemaru and fudou this time around. (I don’t think most people consider midorikawa and aphrodi generic pretty boys, right?)

anyway, in defense of fujoshi and fangirls, they’re, for the most part, the ones buying all those little trinckets and going to the inazuma café collabs and buying the inapen volumes and stuff. I don’t think fanboys are much about that, right? I’ll admit though that I got a little annoyed over how fujoshi bait inapen felt sometimes and is the one reason I’m not 100% sold on mizukamiya making IJ. My petty self doesn’t want them to completely forget how important akane was for haizaki just to double down on the fujoshi bait with mizukamiya

I have nothing to add to the ichihoshi discussion other than as much as I’m liking orion it does feel like the ichihoshi reveal dragged a liiiiiitle bit, but we seem to be at the end of it so whatever. I can’t believe we still have like 10 episodes left till the new members join. I’m really looking forward to the China match but ngl the new members are what’s got me the most interested if only for the curiosity. all this time I though it would only be 3 members but after hino said multiple people would be joining I ain’t even gonna bother trying to figure out who ir how many ppl make it. also, unpopular opinion, I don’t want a neo japan this time around unless they’re just like a training match. just throw aphrodi and gazelle and burn there so aphrodi can make an appearance without angering aphrodi fans or Korean fans. (if this is considered political talk, lmk so I can edit)
