General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

[kadmckool]

Roberu simps are true chads, or wait, what's the girl equivalent of Chad? Casey? Candice? Carly? Calie? Anyways...


Nadeshiko is Japanese? She sounds Aussie... Thanks for the recommendation



Serious about Skinship or sexual harassment? Cause, Matsuri isn't a predator no matter how much you want to read into amusing stories by the Hololive talents. Bet ya'll still think Sayuri hates Kanata and Rushia gets really sad about pettan jokes.


Ohhh boy, the duality of manager whining. JP manies are based cause Niji / Holo collabs are easy - Polka and Himawari 3D even - but EN manies won't let Pomu collab with Kiara cause they don't want to lose EN's market share. BOOOO EN managers who ghosted COCO.

BUTTTT EN manies are based cause Ame can go to town while JP manies forced COCO to graduate.

Anyways, I think we can all agree that ID manies are the best - other then the ID talent not being as popular.

Booo ID manies need to make sure ID girls content are not haram and Islamic friendly (Moona get suspend a month last year for go on religious rant) else they will get “honor killing” or stone to dead by religion of peace mobs.

To be fair, Nayuta/Azki was planning to graduate this year, so she's a special case

IRyS is a solid choice. If AZKi decided to part way I would not blame her since her request to transfer from INNK to Holo was turned down due to JP middle management stick their finger up their asses too high (Suisei luck out).

Luckily HoloEN mannies team are rock solid so far especially their take of want to grow HoloEN as a completely separate entity from their JP counterparts (sad Coco and Haachama noises; this also explain the current branch rivalry between HoloEN and NijiEN if it was true that interbranch collab was shot down by either sides).

With Ame on the team, if they can just unleash her potential (more room to wiggle), every major EN collab will have a lot of production values since Ame had a rock solid external contractors like Seafoamboy and Walfie (get rekt Holobass). Her external contractors pick has been chef kiss so far. The somewhat downside is that HoloEN3 audition will get more fierce hence NijiEN is scramble to get as many as they can but another NijiEN to HoloEN Luna might happen (if that happen hope those NijiEN mannies and Nijifag would not get too much autistic).

Look I got tons of respect for Ame's proactiveness in setting shit up.

But fam she at most commissioned some artists/modelers and arranged a VRchat this isn't the the territory of some second coming of creative jesus christ here.

I get the praise when it comes to stuff like her outfit reveal where she did a pretty genuinely new spin on it. But most of these "visionary genius" moments she has are just doing what other streamers and vtubers have been doing for years and then having the money to pay artists to make it for her.

Ame is great but some days I wonder if folks just don't know that a lot of this stuff has been mainstream and normal for a good while and think she's actually out there inventing the wheel.

still better than that troon dragon hosting prop hunt. Ame might commission people to make quality SFM avatar for all members to use in Gary mod if she happen to host one. It’s not about “what” but “when” when it comes to Ame. All those streaming techniques had been overused by game streamers since Vanoss days. When Twitch allow e-thots to run around, those techniques were fade away. Vtuber reckoning brought those back and dethrone e-thots.

tl;dr: basically a Talent School like Talent Companies in Japan and SK has. Bold move from Anycolor because their focus on the streaming media is contradictory with how Talent Schools such as this work, making multi-talent idols/entertainer. A more Idol like group like Holo benefits more from things like this than the dynamic Nijisanji has

Edit:
Also the free of charge thing is kind of scary by the way, since the way these things are operated is that they recoup their cost by taking huge cuts from the graduates' revenue. Sometimes even all of them

This part does have me scratching my head a little.

I think Anycolor aren't so stupid to perform a scam right in front of everyone, mind you. If they aren't paying for the streaming equipment of 9 people I can't imagine their risk is very high.

Perhaps it's simply worded that way to entice applicants. 'This isn't something you'll have to pay tuition for' kind of thing. Opening this up, telling members to pay, and then potentially not signing any of them on would be a recipe for PR disaster.

Luna graduated from Niji and joined Holo so there’s a somewhat precedent. if there’s an EN equivalent and if said girl is big enough (hope it will be Lyrica for the lul though that would make the “put tanks in a mall” degenerate infested Holo) there will be Nijifags meltdown for sure (there’s a tickling time bomb SJW currently in NijiEN so chance that some girl who just want to stream in peace will jump ship once the SJW diseases spread within Niji).

Anycolor has finally shared more details on their 'Virtual Talent Academy' (VTA) that they announced about 4 months ago.

They will be debuting 9 members — 5 men and 4 women — in 30min relays on Nov. 4. It's unknown if they'll get their own channel or if they'll all be operating under the main YouTube Channel for the sake of brevity.

The goal is to give people who are brand new to streaming the opportunity, education, and experience of a V-Tuber, so that they can either go on to join Nijisanji, or at least have the professional experience of working under Anycolor on their résumé to join other corporations. This accomplishes a few things:

1) It alleviates the unofficial 'Experience required' bar to entry most big corporations have; as the likes of Nijisanji and Hololive tend to favour people who already have a history of streaming or content creation.
1a) This essentially protects all of them from having their past lives and identities found out by conventional means, as there is no past life to find.

2) It allows Anycolor to trial people they think have potential in a real streaming environment towards a live audience (it'll probably be much smaller than Nijisanji debuts by design, so I wouldn't expect much cross-promotion).

3) It adds more stability to, and improves the health of, what is a young, 'Wild West' industry by offering literal training programs free of charge (Anycolor is fronting all the costs, it seems).

Overall I think this is a really good initiative. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of skepticism but the worst it can do is not work out. It gives the 'normal' person an opportunity to make a career of themselves, rather than be the unfortunate souls who applied for the same spots as, say, IRyS and Millie Parfait, and didn't stand a chance.

UPDATE:
Found more info of this from its initial application form.

• Japanese nationals only (duh).
• Promising students will have an offer extended to them to join Nijisanji.
• Anycolor will be paying for everything (except maybe their own equipment).
• The members will have a management team behind them.

If they make Kson an instructor that will be spicy AF.

Pippa appears to have removed the vod of her collab with Kiki, according to /vt/. Was there ever actually a vod of it on Pippa's channel?

it's the overcooked collab with lumi. this is the stream where pippa is gone half the time because of tech and dog issues. but apparently kiki is getting cancelled so I guess someone should archive the kiki stream?

@kadmckool If I said what you said but replaced Nijisanji with Hololive I'd be (rightfully) pulled apart by basically everyone in this thread. Your concentrated spergposting on 'Nijifags' and random rrats/projections really needs to calm down. The only reason you end up unscathed is because you can count on one hand the number of people in this thread willing to defend Niji from bullshit.

Riverbear talking about Nayuta has nothing to do with NijiEN getting 'desperate' and people jumping ship. Me talking about VTA has nothing to do with 'a precedent being set with Luna' and you wanting Millie to graduate bc it'll be funny, nor does it have anything to do with KSON. Christ.

The Nijisanji Way

Nijisanji lore is the memes we made along the way, i was talking more about the wave of releases, wonder who artist they got for Wave 2 when almost all the big hitters are on payroll with niji-cover

also that crazy is doing crimes against food ... again

Lol the artists are definitely not on the payroll, they're just freelance workers who could just as easily take a commission from Sony. Plenty of cross-pollination throughout in regards to illustrators.

The MV in and of itself has the people who've worked on K-ON!, Kaguya, and the FATE series. They can throw money at basically anyone.

tribalism is shit. I can confidently say I maybe have max 2 hours of total view time of any Niji talents.. that's anything Niji puts out eg. actual streams, covers, shorts etc. Does that make me qualified to shit over Niji? Fuck no. I have almost zero knowledge about what's going on in Niji, so how the fuck am I suppose to form an opinion (and tbh, it's how you get very shitty takes. Zero info, max ignorance, unlimited autism). So I am glad there are posts about Niji, its a good insight on what's happening accross the Vtuber pond.

I totally agree if it had been a post about Niji, it would've been targeted but not by the regulars who understand the need to not become an exceptional being but rather the ones with such a hate boner they go full on autistism eg. that one person that was posting with such anger, I'm pretty sure they stroked out and hence why their post had atrocious grammar, spelling etc. It's on levels of autism that belongs on the boards tbh and such posters should be lynched imho. Don't need to dirty up the thread with their hate boner and/or exceptional posts.

And whoever the fuck says this thread is a Nijihugbox, go check your eyes. I ain't gonna run the statistics but I'm willing to say posts are 50% Hololive, 25% Niji, 12.5% Pippa, (okay, the Niji and Pippa numbers are flexible imho) 10% indies and 2.5% tourist looking for freebies/autism drivebys. All it takes is to look at last night. This thread is Hololive dominated, and just because it dominates, doesn't mean you get to drink deep the glowing gatorade and piss your glowie all over the thread.

I might be a corpo shill, but I recognize its flaws and don't blindly follow them off the cliff. That's how you get shit like Tesla and Elon or Apple and Jobs. And if you're a corpo shill like me, you should be wary too. It's fun to enjoy the entertainment, it's not fun anymore when you go full autism in their name.

This is interesting, it looks like they are trying what Yoshimoto Kogyo (Comedian Agency) do with their own academy for new talents (Yoshimoto New Star Creation) where they are able to give birth to some of the best comedian in Japanese history.

Hopefully it can create more hidden gems, since personally I felt there is a looming air of stagnation with more and more vtubers debuting.

"im the victim,nijifag get blamed for everything but if its HOLOTARD they will getaway with anything" yeah that show up how dumb u r,u got called because u say dumb shit,idk what is that guy goal but seems like he just want to bait autist nijifag like u,but back to what u said,its understandable that u got shit,u say stupid shit

-"holo monopolize everything"<<while the truth its niji who monopolize shit,i mean how dumb u can be to not understand the point of their approach with DEBUT EVERYONE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE IN A SHORT TIME
-"holo cancel the collab,because its always them at fault never niji or anyone else" while the rrats its not confirmed at all

and many other dumb shit,tbh idgaf about holotard,but in vtuber scene,there is only one stupid fandom that ruined thing and its u nijifag while ppl think its holo even though the truth is that no one,not a single one of those holo simp give a single fuck about u,dont believe me? go ahead go to their "HOLO HUGBOX" they dont talk about niji,let alone shitting about them like what u always do.

holo is bigger,larger,but u dont see shit,while nijifag is smaller but LOUDER,im loud,but its only me right? call me holotard,but who else here DEFEND HOLO/COVER? literally nobody and if i say SHIT about niji,even though its absolutely true,there is u and u r nijifag gang that i dont even need to mention that will get butthurt.

since when MORE POST=HUGBOX?? u can have 1000 post of holo,and 10 post of niji,but niji post is "holo are shit,holo is just lucky,this niji X vtuber even though she FUCKED UP,SHE IS NOT WRONG"<<this is hugbox,do we need to look back at every shit on holo/cover? how they always get blamed for everything even though its not true?? so yeah its that HOLO HUGBOX? who defend that? nobody,but if i say shit about niji and specially nijifag autism and their small gang here,oh everyone lose their mind.

@kadmckool To be fair, Nayuta/Azki was planning to graduate this year, so she's a special case
Any video source for that? I haven't heard of her being rejected, let alone asking for transfer to Hololive a-la-Suisei. All I heard is that they decide to scrap that idea to graduate her in an end of her story arc next year.

Also, I missed the pumpkin orange theme already.

This is interesting, it looks like they are trying what Yoshimoto Kogyo (Comedian Agency) do with their own academy for new talents (Yoshimoto New Star Creation) where they are able to give birth to some of the best comedian in Japanese history.

Hopefully it can create more hidden gems, since personally I felt there is a looming air of stagnation with more and more vtubers debuting.

America has a history of Comedy Schools that train famous Alumni, with one, The Second City, typically acting as a farm for SNL hosts. There are dance, acting, singing, music, and animation schools all over the globe. It makes sense someone would see a new industry and try to legitimise it like this.

On paper, dedicating resources to literally training V-Tubers is a bold and innovative move from Anycolor and allows them to scout from a huge talent pool. After all, anyone can apply regardless of experience because that's the whole point, so they aren't limited to the shackle of 'We have 5 spaces for this next Niji wave so we need to fill it with tried and true creators to reduce risks' even if a hugely talented starlet has to be snubbed because he or she's never streamed before.

Of these 9, I think maybe 3 of them will make it into Nijisanji, but the other 6 will still be able to apply for other groups and say that they were scouted and trained by an industry leader. It's a really healthy thing (providing it doesn't go up in flames, which it could).
