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

To this day I do not fucking know why she is so popular to warrant continuous 90K live views.

Many says her past lives but I still dont know. I think it didn't even got mentioned in this thread.

I watched a bit of her streams. I will say, she has a very infectious personality; I subbed after only a bit.
 
Some weird fuckery is going on over at Kawaii Productions. Neema was all set to graduate and actually move up into a management position when the company decided to dump her instead. This is the same company that started the kickstarter for 3D which met the full funding goal.

Seems like getting Rushia'd will be a term from here on out.

Iroha getting 3D. Was HoloX suppose to get their 3Ds? Also, poor IRyS :story:
I have a bias for Laplus since she's fucking awesome, so I'm looking forward to this. Poor Council and Irys tho. I do think Irys will have a redesign and for the better too.
Don't be surprised. People still simped for Judas after knowing what she's done. I'll probably still love Amelia Watson even after I learn she's done some fucked up shit behind the scenes.

Depressed Nousagi made a video about it, including his own speculations (and a shit ton of jokes). Nobody knows the girl's past life. Otherwise, it would have been in the doxx site already. It's not a Gura situation where Senzawa fans just jumped ship.

Tl:dr:
-Great Personality
-Character itself is a great fit for Nijisanji's atmosphere
-Streams at the end of the work/school day in bitesized chunks (for now.)
-Hololive has lower activity currently
-HoloEN/NijiEN doesn't really capture a lot of JP audiences

Literally a perfect storm.

Gotcha
 
I just noticed that she lists herself as a Twitch partner. Does that mean she's repurposing her old Twitch account? I wonder if there's anyway to find out what the previous name was.

I've always been curious who she was when Kawaii allegedly scouted her.
Apparently

Probably her plan all along. "Ditch" her old one, join a company and build up a following, quit and funnel fans

It's definitely not related to her past life because no one knows who the fuck she is.

There was a trail that went cold that she was actually a former idol who appeared on one of Joe Rikiichi's radio shows last year asking how to get noticed. His response, whilst assuming the role of his female Ojou-sama persona 'Kiriko', told them to 'Try everything, and if that doesn't work, speak like a lady!'

When Salome debuted, she cited Kiriko specifically as her major inspiration, which is a little strange given how rare Kiriko appearances actually are, so it would be a cool coincidence if she was that anon who wrote to Rikiichi.

That said, she hasn't expressed much interest in singing. During her Zatsudan, she stated that she initially wanted to do art in university because she likes drawing, and in her GTA stream she said she plans to mostly do Zatsudans, variety stuff, and enjoys playing games far beyond her ability so she can force herself to get good. No mention of singing OR drawing, so either what we see is what we're getting, or she's still hiding her power level somewhere. Either way, she's offered us nothing at all in regards to a trail we can use to find her.
 
Im honestly not that suprised that HoloX is getting their 3D speedrun, chances are they had already planned or gotten most of their immediate post-launch support done before their sudden launch and they were banking on them being a breakout success (they sorta were), considering how fast their new years outfit was pumped out in comparison to everyone else

Either way rip IRyS, everyone was banking on Mori being the first one to leave because they were fed up with a company but at this point if they keep dragging their feet its not gonna be her lmao

Yeah, Pippa and the other girls lucked out on getting picked up by Phase. Fishman seems to be one of the few guys in the business capable of showing professionalism and competence while not being anal about what his talents do at the same time, getting fucked over like this girl got really has to hurt and it isn't even the worst example of fuckery coming from these smaller companies considering Wactor exists!

I knew this would happen, but still sad. Poor ID2, Hope, and Council...
Do mind that HoloX got announced out of nowhere unlike all other gens. Meaning they kept a tight ship about the process and likely planned the whole thing in advance, and they are all based in Japan as well. IRyS is as well but her design is unique and has clearly been an issue in regards of 3D and the like, ID2 and Council aren't Japan based which might explain their delays. Cover isn't fucking retarded to show blatant favoritism like that, but it's hard to expect them to invest in infrastructure on every country they hire someone in, Indonesia itself is a colossal archipelago of many islands which makes logistics an issue if you make a deal with a Studio in one place and your talents are scattered all over the country. Not to mention the chances of getting a Kiara, the only member of a gen that lives in a certain zone unlike all others!

But I do agree that they should be doing more. Not showing support for your talents is the sort of thing that leads to disenchantment over the long term, and there's no coming back from that!

Precisely, it's the one gen that got the most streamlined planning, they announced them on one day and had the debuts on the other, no teasing at all!

IRyS isn't doing badly but she needs to be supported. She is probably aware they aren't deliberately fucking her over, but even with a willing and patient person there isn't a better way to lose their trust than making empty promises over and over again while delivering fuckall!
 
Sana hardly works inside streaming activities, what the fuck could she possible do outside of it, clean the toliets?

I know she does art for Cover... like, I get being bummed that she got a spot over someone that could have been more active, but no need to be MATI about it. ENGen 3 should this summer sometime, at least?
 
I'm holding out hope (pun intended) that they are working on something in the background for IRyS. Remember when they first announced kimono outfits for HoloX and everyone similarly complaint about favoritism? Guess what they announced a week later?

Not sure how up to date you are, but both Nene Amano and Namiji Freesia confirm Neena's guilty of this shit and that Neena was at fault and scummy. It ain't on Kawaii Pro, they were more than patient with Neena's shit.
 
I'm confident that the main reason things have been so rough for EN and Irys is just that it's not financially or logistically feasible for major studio 3D events outside of JP.

Studios cost a lot to build, and since EN and ID are scattered like dust in the wind just building one isn't reasonable.

Studios also cost a lot to rent as we tecently learned from Kiara, so they can't do that.

They also don't want to have home studio debuts because that can give members like Ame an unfair advantage.

It'd also be all over the place schedule-wise. It's not as simple as doing a 2D outfit reveal, and Cover wants to keep everyone on an even playing field as much as possible. The only reason Myth and ID1 have 3D now is because it's been so long that they begrudgingly gave it to them.

I don't think they can handle more generations. Everything is over saturated, there is only so much time for you to watch streams and so much time for streamers to not overlap/compete.
the squirrel's ability to crack up over her own shitposting is why she's my oshi. also this:
Assuming you're an EOP like me, how does it work having an oshi who makes most content in a language you don't understand? Do you just have their streams on when you don't understand them, or just base things off clippers? I know Risu is trilingual, but I kidna struggle with streams where people switch languages.

EDIT:
Homestudios would be better. I'm sure girls would prefer some people having an advantage, than none of them getting 3D at all. I mean as it stands, we alrady saw a bunch of people showing off 3D, so it could be unfair they get it while others aren't even given the option.

You throw money at her, she says your name in a funny accent, and then you go 99% of the stream not knowing what the hell is happening

Occasionally she sings and it sounds nice. But you still don't know what she's saying.
