By the jp fandom, no they're VERY popular over there. The en fandom hates them tho. They're stuff always runs alongside at least one en fan favourite as a result (or that's just a coincidence? Idk for sure obviously but it definitely works if that's actually an on purpose things because even when Eden have a centre going on, the en fans will hyperfocus on something else. Or mass hate on the boys like in Absolute)
