They better give EN and ID some love as well.
Hopefully, announcing the “merge” thing and simultaneously announcing a series that’s only “JP branch” talents is kinda odd. Maybe the others will be in a potential second season (?)
the roster is too large to bring into one narrative all at once, i think. how many are they now? it's gotta be at least 50.

Even considering how all over the place the character lores are, it’s gonna be hard to fit even just these 29 in one single narrative. An episodic series with most focusing on 3/4 talents at a time would probably make for a better experience.
i was sort of assuming they would play characters in the story rather than it just being a weird slice-of-life thing. but who knows.
Could go either way, even being episodic. I doubt they’ll make something too serious/different from usual, but I definitely wouldn’t mind (for example the HoloERROR series was pretty good, imo)
I hope so too. I remember Calli speaking out a bit recently about how she was frustrated that Cover seems to only hire scriptwriters who clearly only watch JP content. I get they're a Japanese company, but they seem uncomfortable with the idea of hiring English writers to make English content.
Yeah, with stuff like Hologra or Holodori you can clearly see that JP talent interactions are much more accurate than EN/ID ones. Sure, it’s a Japanese company which mostly works with Japanese people, but I hoped that the whole “Cover USA” thing would’ve helped with that too.
