Honestly, anime isn't really "mainstream". It's more so "Popular normie slice of life or shounen" is mainstream. But anything that can be considered niche is treated with disdain, disgust, etc. Hell, even the popular flavor of the month isn't free from it. Look at how many people are complaining about the fanservice in my dressup darling or the the fact that the main girl got a tan for a cosplay. Even stuff like dragon maid gets complains from normies who "want to love it" but are offput by the fanservice. You also still got normies who complain about how gross and problematic anime/manga are because they don't suit western sensitibilities or rather-- these people cannot separate fiction from reality and think animanga is made by horny men for horny men even though something like 70% of mangaka are women iirc.

Yeah, anecdotal evidence it might be, but I know a couple of people who I would unironically say are NPC-tier, from back when I was in school, and over the last two or so years they've all become "weebs" who watch nothing but flavor of the month shounenshit. They constantly try to tell me how they're huge weebs because I told them I occasionally watched anime, but as soon as I mention watching something that's old, or not as popular, I get the "wow bro, it came out in 2006?" or "it only has a 7 rating on MyAnimeList? Well my favorite [Currently Popular Thing] has a 8.2!". Same people recently picked up Elden Ring because it's the big popular thing and now they're trying to tell me how I don't know anything about Fromsoft games even though they've never touched a different one.
It's shit like that which made my opinion on gatekeeping change from being very much against, to being essential to keeping your hobby from being raped to death.

That was very sweet. Arrived late because I had to go someway and then do something when I got home. Wasn't as long as I expected but still a really nice time. The wheel was a great idea, there was a lot of wholesome moments and some blessed ara aras. Fauna is so sweet. Dope sweatshirt, gorgeous postcard art, cute keychain, amazing tea cup, and yay a voice pack. Hype original song.

Sounds like you conspiracy guys have been listening to magical girl Pururin.

Speaking of "Welcome to the NHK" I always loved this one acoustic vocal someone made that's inspired from the anime.
Really worth taking a listening too with how it sums the thoughts of the mc in the series.

Naki has been playing with short shitposting videos, and I don't get the video she's making fun of (it's linked in the info for the vid) but I like it, it works for her.

Apparently it's some kind tiktok video having something to do with that anime mystery game where the highschool kids kill each other.

Any further meaning behind it I can't be bothered to find out as I prefer her version.

Original song coming from Fauna in late April. Being made with Shibayan Records.

Pretty surprising, didn't expect her to go for an original song so soon considering she isn't the best singer. Good luck to her, hope it turns out well.

If Noel can have an original song that she can sing despite being tone deaf then surely there will be one for Fauna. Ame is a different category as her sense of music suitable to sing meme songs.

I can see they are gearing up for potential summer or winter HoloFes with IRyS, Council and ID2 (unless they solo 3D debut IRyS and jam her into one of those frequently Suisei and Sora 3D concert. With such success, I can see how they will make it semi annually when the Rona passes.

Millie talking about how "She watched a certain event" and how "her moves were really great" and DMing them praises.

Sad that she had to go up against IRyS for the Holo Vsinger slot.

Isn't gura's diet and physical health godawful? How does she stay energetic? Would seem like her body is inflamed to all hell by what she describes

She eats some questionable things and drinks more Monster than is advisable, but she also seems to cook actual food (incl vegetables) for herself and likely got regular physical activity as a kid, so she seems to be fairly resilient physically. As reflected in her RingFit performance, especially compared to say, Ina.

Or Kronii, who apparently puts all her points in STR, and none in END.
