Aristasia experienced massive changes circa 2005 that ultimately led to the publication of several novels meant to explore the group's beliefs in a fictional setting, including a space adventure and a strange isekai, both said to have been written by "an anime character."

Don't misunderstand. The Aristasians didn't become anime fictionkin, though the feelings of otherness are reminiscent of, well... the kin community, either way.
To summarize: in essence, they felt that anime styles were the closest (though nowhere near exact nor perfect) representation of their soul or essential real form, but no specific anime nor character.
Either way, this is one part of the movement I did (and still do, to a degree) sympathize (and even empathize) with, but I'll save those thoughts for another page. This thread is too long.
