I'm not sure why you're angry over this. It was accepted months ago that this is out of Cover's hands and that Amelia was gonna have to put things together herself. Cover doesn't have the expense to build studios everywhere, and the country is such a clusterfuck with foreigners that just flying them over wasn't an option.
Calm the fuck down.
except he's not wrong. no one is asking cover to open a branch or a whole studio anywhere, people are well aware how unfeasible that would be. as for the whole "we've discussed this months ago already" - a) this isn't months ago, things are constantly in flux b) gura just hit 4 million subs. at some point it gets silly. even if nothing would change and japan's immigration is still a bitch
this is also something that was known months ago. MUH CONTRACTORS is funny, because it's just as well an argument for cover to get off their ass and find a solution abroad for one fucking 3d stream. cover can't even pull the whole "well, schedules and stuff" excuse when myth manages to do an off-collab just fine on their own.
do you honestly wanna tell me cover can't look at the current state in early 2022, write 5 of their talents "we want you all in one spot in late spring/summer, please fit it in your schedule" months in advance, then rent a studio for a day or two and record the whole thing to be done with it? don't forget they would milk the shit out of it anyway and it would rain SCs, so the whole "but it's expeeeeeeeeeeensive waaaaah" nailbiting wouldn't apply either.
* Pure speculation on my part, but I believe the reason why big corpos are still on last-gen VR centric 3D tracking is more of a cost issue than anything else.
corpos get often called cheap, but lot of people miss they simply have different requirements which are not relevant or less of an issue for the average consumer. usually reliability and long term planning > buying the newest fancy gadgets. it's one of the reasons they're willing to pay premium for "professional grade" to be used for years. plus if it works it works, no point spending more money "again" (besides r&d). consumers are just gonna buy a replacement because goldfish memory and price > all.
however, regarding niggerrigging something for a 3d stream - it's not a live production, you can pre-record it and do as many takes and fixes as needed. besides, it's a moot point when ame is literally doing that. if cover would give a shit about quality or level of production they would find a way to do it themselves, but they obviously don't.
also something people missed: cover isn't the only one with talent abroad. there's nothing keeping yagoo from picking up the phone, call his niji-equivalent and ask for splitting the cost to have lazulight and obsydia do their anniversary as well. they're also big enough to ask for sponsors, which would make said expensive equipment cheaper if not outright free. fuck, they could even do one big collab event to stream afterwards just because (or at least guest appearances, JP does it all the time) to really rake in the cash from both holo- AND nijifags.
On the whole Amelia/NA studio thing, is there a reason we are outright assuming in this discussion that Cover is definitely not helping in any way whatsoever?
one word: irys.
they can't even do 3d for talent IN THE FUCKING COUNTRY. which makes the whole "muh japanese immigration, please understand" thing even more laughable.
Late replies because living in the EU timezone is a curse among this hobby. But I have finally caught up with all the stuff in the last 20 hours or so. Woo
Also loving Laplus calling out all the fags to the recent event she had when her roommate knocked on her door, thinking it was a boyfriend. Honestly watch the clip it's proper gold, just straight up lays it all out.
>teeth clicking
>desk punching

fuck man, that video made me miss the pettan necromancer like you wouldn't believe, annoyed rushia was always best rushia.
second on EU, I'm on EU schedule atm keeping me asleep during all the
pippa and lumi streams good shit.
otoh perfect time to watch nunki, so there's that
Missed the live. Was the cat artist the same as Pippa's current mom? Also, Pippa rejecting this and become a bunny is too funny cause didn't she say as Yuni she would never be a rabbit?
meanwhile we got pipcat pippa recently...
and I am willing to bet she's got an accountant in the back pocket who is nodding and giving her the thumbs up to do it too
