I apologize for my delayed/sporadic videos. I think i'm having a small flare up of my TA and I feel like a bag of bricks. (Not a happy bag of bricks either. 😓) ANYWAY! for the First Impressions of the markers, Watch the video.
For a summary/review purposes, read my more concise thoughts I've compiled after editing this video:
I prefer this pack to their other 48 sets because it has a lot of colors in a mid-tone area which is what I gravitate towards along with my Pastel Copic's usually. I really wouldn't call the ink in these Ohuhu's "pastels." They work best when mixed with some of the other Ohuhu colors for contrast since they are lighter than 99% of Ohuhu's current colors. The colors are a pretty good hue range. I feel like the earth tones are a little too cool/cold for my personal liking but depending on how you use them, they should be okay for skin tones on the lighter range. They are probably best for illustrations more landscape-y in nature.
In conclusion, I would recommend these as a first Ohuhu set if you were on the fence between these and the original 48 set. Since you can build them up slower than darker colors. I also recommend them as an addition to the other Ohuhu sets since they are brand new colors and they will give you some actual contrast which is what other Ohuhu set's lack. Ideally with the 25 set of 'Skin-Tone''s as a secondary purchase. Unfortunately you do have to buy two sets for that, but thats how it goes with this brand. I still like the brush nib quality and the ink isn't patchy or anything weird. I don't think you'll be disappointed with these as a beginner. I was slightly disappointed just because they don't stack up next to actual pastel Copic markers, but they are a long way from how deep and rich the other Ohuhu set's are, and for that I am glad. Again, wouldn't really call these pastel, but they are lighter than the other options Ohuhu sells.
At the time of writing this, they are sold out on Amazon. So I guess you guys liked them! ;) It looks like you can still get them on the Ohuhu website though.

Also I forgot to mention, Ohuhu sent me these markers. I did not pay for them nor was I compensated monetarily to make this video. I would have bought them myself, not that it matters. I've actually been personally requesting Ohuhu release colors like this for years. I'm glad the day finally came, even if they aren't exactly the pastel colors I was hoping for. Maybe next time!
