This post makes me so entirely happy.

Especially the part where I don't have to write any 9/10ki meta ever because this just about covers it.

Well, I guess there's room for Eripon meta.

I think it's interesting that both Eripon and Maachan have taken on these non-sequitur weirdo personas, becoming Eri's successors in that sense, but that for Eripon it seems much more of an affected persona, (she calculates the reactions and tries to evoke those "eeeeeehhhhhh?"s or awkward silences) as with Ishikawa Rika back in the day, whereas Maachan wouldn't even realize that she's incomprehensible but for the other members pointing it out to her.
With what you've said about Kamei, do either of these also give you that vibe?

You've left out 9/10kiSayubear pairings. XD

I think I might have to make a part two to this post. Because I have re-evaluated the 9/10/11ki dynamic again and made several new computations. XD All the new info coming in always helps ( ... )

It's amazing what Ai-chan has done to MM in terms of dynamics.

1st-4th gen were so intensely independent, with popularity politics firmly at priority 1 to the point of rendering all dynamics to work-cooperation. (There's workplace affection, like with Nakazawa and Rika's mentoring of the younger gens after graduation, but still not true outside-of-work friendships.)

But the new MM is clearly more in the mold of the PlatinumMM family/friendship structure, with 9/10ki clearly parallel to 5/6ki, and now there's possibly a new parallel in 11/12ki to 7/8ki, albeit Sakura being more accepted than Koharu. You definitely won't see Sayu or 9ki doing the Yaguchi thing and discouraging friendship in favor of enforcing seniority.

I think Ai-chan definitely did revolutionize MM dynamics, you summed it up so effectively I don't need to say more! About 11/12ki paralleling 7/8ki, I hope management doesn't botch up their handling of 12ki then, because 8ki was a management disaster. Then again, they seem to have been learning from their mistakes so far, so I can tentatively hope for the best ( ... )
