More like it's the result of allowing hype (and purposefully building it by lack of communication) to build up to critical mass and then pushing it over into a chain reaction sh#t-show with a nice initial detonation of disappointment. After that, lines were drawn, and the rules of internet warfare were engaged.

It went straight up scorched earth due to how polarizing Shibafu's work can be with the fandom. Most of Shibafu's art is potato soup bland. Occasionally Shibafu produces a nice loaded twice baked potato with things like Mogami 1YB and Kaga Mitsukoshi.

The surprise of it being Shibafu's art, plus the latent incompatibility of his art form with rendering Western girls (leading to perception problems related to the size ratio on her head and the spacing of her facial features along with hair that could be transplanted to any other potato girl) and an uninspired CarDiv1/CarDiv2 type uniform minus muneate left Intrepid not only a potato, but a flawed potato. Undercooked and without any memorable flavor.

Aside from her rigging. His work on her rigging and escorting planes is excellent.
