Japan to lift COVID entry ban for 106 countries including U.S.

So this was just announced a few hours ago and is going into effect this Friday. But I'm not sure how different it is compared to their previous stance, since it still does not allow visits for touristic purposes. But I guess it's a step in the right direction. And potentially would allow Cover to bring them over for work if they can convince the archaic Border Protection.
 
If he brings up and links Calli to Snake Eyes than he's probably going to get slammed by the biggest controversy in his Channel's history. Not because he says the song is bad but because he's going to be dumb enough to publicly connect Karen to Calli and be an unintentional "Doxxer".
He will get a ton of people to watch his shit that are not part of his regular audience because they want to know what hes going to say. If he gets any sort of hate he will bitch and moan about internet harassment and death threats from the toxic Hololive community and he will shill out his Patreon or whatever to get even more money cuz "death threats". He will then get even more outside views from "drama" channels commenting on it.

>He has a lot of subs, that means... something
Means that once they started collabing, he had a bigger audience than she did. Can't really argue that he is taking advantage of his popularity when he had a bigger audience than her (though that might have changed now).

So, what about 1 month collab ban?
I remember something about Gura and Mumei being allowed because they didn't use voice chat I think? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I was thinking the same thing. Irys got 3 weeks but im pretty sure Coucil got the full month. ID Girls got 2 weeks.


Don't laugh, Pikamee is qualified for US Congress.
Yeah that's pretty fucking dumb but there are a ton of people who think the same.

So not only does Mysta intentionally do a English karaoke over Sonny's birthday celebration, he avoids the most Zatsu afterward and sends his viewership to Mika instead. Meanwhile, nearly every single member of the EN branch is in the voice call with him (Sonny) despite time zone differences.

What a unlikeable cunt.
Mysta probably has a crush on Mika or at least that's the way it comes off as.

It was 7 in the morning for her. Not every EN member needs to be around for everyone's birthday, especially as they grow in members.
I wouldn't expect Gura to wake up at 7 for anything. At most, stay up until 4 or 5am.

So far for me Zeta has been great. I like her voice and she has her own brand of bratty/teasing (though not quite full kusogaki like kobo) that has worked well building a comradery with chat. A bit of pon too. Probably the biggest thing though is that she speaks english the best out of ID3. Not only better but much clearer and more frequent too. I often have streams going while doing other stuff and not totally focusing on it, so I need the EN so I can keep up with what is going on without having to always be watching the video and checking for translations, and she has offered the best experience in that regard.
They are all great. I like Penguin's game choices (yes I like shit games) but it seems that audiences like cutesy/child-like characters more than Milfs. Nina being the exception to the rule.

Judging on how excited she seemed on her announcement and reveal stream I think she's wanted a change for awhile. All of the VOMs models are very stylized and stick out. This isekai model is something very cute for her to show off and I think that's what she really wants. She made a point to show off her hair and how it was sooooo fluffy. I personally prefer the original Pikame design myself but it is simplistic and not nearly as emotive as these cutesy models.
Pika's original model is unique but this one is more detailed and can be a bit more expressive. I guess that after 2 years she just got tired of the old design. Eventually, she will move back to it. I also feel like when it comes to the general public, had she streamed with this avatar from the start she would probably have more subs now. The cutesy characters tend to be more popular.

Insert some rrat here about how they’re not getting enough applications or something.
They don't compare to Yagoo, who is indeed best girl.

I don't think the talents could enter Japan as a tourist in the first place. Both them and Cover would get into lots of troubles if the Immigration found out the girls did some work stuff there. You know hos autistic the Asians are regarding immigration and visa
 
I haven't heard of this. What is it called?

Apparently it is only one series, thought it was two. Knew about the ONA, but apparently the 2023 anime is based off the same novel. Either way.
To add a little more info: besides the art for this fantasy light novel "Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire ♀" (which gets an anime adaptation next January) she did the illustration for the light novel "Angels Only Drink Soda" from Marufukushi Maroyaka and also "I want to marry a man stronger than me" (both are not on MAL as far as I can see).

I have to admit that I'm pretty excited about Aqua's APEX tournament participation. She is now the official Mad Dog of Hololive when playing APEX. Check out how psyched she is.
I hope she has a good time and don't take things to heart if things don't go as planned

The alternative is letting the same 3-4 people copypaste crappy tribalfag takes from /vt/, that's how we ended up with takes like "Yumenographia had yakuza/Kabukicho connections".
It's not like that makes the statements any less false.

Even though we are a dwindling group of weebs talking about anime streamers, there is a unifying responsibility to remember what site we are on, and it shouldn't be the responsibility of the minority to keep the thread fit for purpose. A couple of Nijifags dipping from the thread, and the thread subsequently devolving into unhinged, uncontested rrats about V-Tubers they don't watch or care about is ultimately not my problem, nor is the hugboxing (which I actually don't care about as much).

That's what I'll leave it at. You get the thread you aim to create.

During the premiere of the 2 year anniverary of Hololive Indonesia Tumpengan event

they announced they're working with m&c publishings on a collaboration which will be announced in the future. m&c is a publisher by Kompas Gramedia, one of the biggest media publications in indonesia, in which m&c specialized in publishing local comics and also localizing japanese manga to the indonesian audience. their manga translation works includes Miikoo, Aikatsu, Detective Conan, Anohana and many more.

I feel like that wouldn't work too well considering the content of his channel. He's budget Anthony Fantano with a stigma against non-black rappers maybe he could profit off the controversy if he were actually weab/Vtuber adjacent but he's probably gonna get tourists who fuck off immediately.

Maybe this clip.
thats a pretty odd thing to say. an avatar can only get you so far. its your voice and personality that will make you or break you.
The other day Kronii got a little depressed (shocking I know) and said that if she didnt get into hololive someone else would have and we'd like that Kronii just as much or more than we like her. If I was the kind of cunt who acted like their success was purely from having the hololive label stamped on them I'd feel pretty fucking guilty about it.
Can’t blame her for imposter syndrome though. Her small time as Seru Kisen did not gain much traction though she should considered lucky that her circle of friend is not trying to burn bridge like what happen to Fauna. Maybe Mumei as well consider Mumei was part of Bao gang before joining Hololive and Bao was kind of a “I’m better than my crew” type of streamer. I can see how the moments Mumei find out she got the Hololive ticket while Bao couldn’t, she’s more confident that she’s better than Bao’s gang in the eye of Cover.
Animation does take a lot time and we saw what happened last two times when she got overworked with animation job. Only reason she even did those was because she thinks too highly of tophat.
Speaking of AO, he still hasn't congratulated Mori about the news. Bet he is seething right now and will burn bridges.
It will be funny though, consider the rrat that Mori travel all the way to Japan so she can sleep with the dude, and was turned down because he’s not into gaijin.

If he had a meltdown and seething then we can see how’s all the rrat comes true include Mori being black ball by her “mentors” after finding success at Hololive.
Yagoo himself reminding everyone that male auditions are open for hololive english:

maybe after seeing Uproar are just a bunch of semi good ESL nips that severely discourage people to apply since they think that’s StarsEN will never become true and NijiEN is the only one recruiting male. It’s funny how Uproar bomb hard with their old mega talents semi ESL nips because Cover still try to make nips male aidoru vs getting some gaijin and be proven on how gaijin are better because of … Speaking English.

This is never going to end..is it? Sigh...
 
Does anyone know what type of tracking technology they use for 3D?
Good question. AFAIK, no one truly knows exactly what they use, but we can guess close to maybe something along the lines what they might be using.

So here is a behind the scenes of Hololive quite a few years ago, this gives you some indication of some of the earlier tech they were using. It looks basic now, but back then this is was some advanced stuff.

Now days, I'm sure they put the girls in their own mo cap suits and are using a technology of something close to this level but probably way more advanced/expensive and fine tuned knowing COVER.

I personally think we will never truly exactly know what they use. I'm sure it's their own in-house software and setup and the actual details about how it all works is behind many locks and keys. Trust me I would LOVE to know how it all works, but we can only wish now.

TLDR: We don't know exactly, but we can guess fairly close. @Avokado Example is PRETTY close to how it most likely is
