"Fashion Girl" seems to be the current go-to for Mizusaki on account of her profession as a fashion model.Some fans also refer to Asakusa as "Bucket Hat Girl," owing entirely to her near-omnipresent nice hat, or "Frog/Frog Girl," on account of her wide, far-apart eyes, small nose, and wide, flat mouth being froglike in design. Fans have taken to calling Asakusa "Gremlin"/"Goblin" on account of the combination of her short stature, energetic demeanor, and wide-eyed, wide-faced design, all reminiscent of the "Gremlin D.Va" meme."Tall Girl" seems to have become one for Sayaka Kanamori, on account of her staggering height being her most prominent physiological trait.Fan Nickname: Took off initially once the anime premiered, but seemed to die down as its run progressed in favor of using the main characters' actual names.Even without the racial context, her ability to act as both a well-meaning supervisor for the Motion Picture Club (keeping them from overstepping their boundaries while still making room for their work-related necessities) and an effective foil to Kanamori lends to a significant level of appeal with the show's fanbase. Sowande, who appears much less often than Doumeki (having just enough major appearances in the anime adaptation to count on one hand) and has an even less direct connection to the Motion Picture Club, also became fairly popular among fans, thanks to her Reasonable Authority Figure role and position as a member of the student council lending to a much more nuanced and positive portrayal of a black woman than what tends to be typical in anime. ![]() Despite showing up fairly late in the series and having a much more peripheral role in the Motion Picture Club than the main trio (to the point where her appearances with all three are fairly minimal), Doumeki quickly became just as popular as them among fans, in part due to her being an approximate and appropriate middle ground between Asakusa & Mizusaki and Kanamori in terms of personality as well as due to her own enthusiasm towards sound design helping endear her to fans in the same way that Asakusa and Mizusaki's enthusiasm for animation aid in their appeal.The fact that she displays a subdued and professional demeanor around fans, but more readily opens up when around people she considers close enough to trust is also noted as paralleling behaviors found in "neurotypical-passing" autistic individuals. Much of this comes from her emphasis on repetition, especially in regards to things that catch her interest, her tendency to info-dump when discussing body movements, and her fixation on character animation to the point where she gets distressed when her ability to engage in it is threatened. ![]()
