almost 50 posts and no JFK joke for Amagiri "-_-

I gotta say, the amount of art for new Kantais has dropped drastically in 2017.

They used to get 3-500 posts in the 1st month of being announced.
Now, most of the ones here have been out for a while and still haven't cracked 100 good posts.

Guess all the artists moved on to FGO :/.

It has decreased yes, but let's not exaggerate. We can't deny FGO popularity is increasing though.

P.S.: In case the link to the derivative trends graph gets broken you can check it here.

I'm more concerned about touhou's downswing

Expect most new IJN destroyers to have very little posts, because many have considered them "trophies" and not interesting, unless their design are pretty attractive (Hatakaze) or they have something unique to make jokes out of (Amagiri and her abs).

Richelieu having little posts here is a surprise tho

The chart doesn't have GBF tho?

Me too. Seems like the recent newer series are dividing the usual Touhou artists away

You can check Wikipedia footnotes for more information. For example here, the 380 value is the one you are looking for.

Before the great ship jump that dethroned Touhou, Touhou was in a similar spot; the casts of newer games being relatively ignored because everyone was set in their EoSD/PCB/IN ways. What you're seeing here are the first grey hairs of the KanColle fandom.

Aun seems popular though.

Touhou really started dropping a few years back when the seasonal craze started.
No new material to boost it so, artists jumped to each new hotness.

I blame the art. Akira should stick to drawing Abyssals.

That's only Comiket, though. That doesn't take into account Reitaisai or the rest of the Touhou-centric convention circuit. Touhou isn't going to be in any serious trouble any time soon.

Richelieu's seasonal is pretty good though.
