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

Interesting why someone like Amelia Watson would join up knowing she doesn't have any of these attributes, yet despite not really being active on the idol side of things, she's still a fucking gold mine. I will treasure my oshi more and give her more money.
Yeah Watson was like a lottery win for Cover. I'm not sure why she made the jump to vtubing either but am glad as shit she did, the autism gremlin is the workhorse of Holo EN by far. I just dread the inevitable day she moves on because Ame is in a class of her own, she'd be hard to replace.

She was always a VTuber though. One of the founding members of Western VTubers and was then still one of the most innovative. Made models for everyone to use for the fun of it, had multiple models just to fuck around. She wasn't really successful though. Content creators like her breed were barely recognized or appreciated until Melody blew up.
She barely broke 400 viewers per stream. She was also broke and depressed in like 2019-2020(grandmother died iirc), which was why she caved into doing boobie streams and joined Hololive later on.

Best decision she made. I love her bros.
 
Pretty sure that Cover said early on that HoloEN were considered "entertainers" or "streamers" and that singing ability wasn't a requirement for the job. The fact that a bunch of them want to be idols anyways is more incidental than anything, i suspect. Also, if you get like 10k applicants for every spot you are gonna end up with a bunch of girls that can do everything.
Hololive since 2021 has considered itself an Entertainment Agency instead of a straight Idol Agency since than. Their still idol related though and every branch EN, ID, Holostars, even CN when they were still around were still expected to perform onstage. If EN wasn't required to perform than Ame certainly wouldn't have gotten onstage for HoloFes that's for sure.
 
My rrat is she will join vshojo to have more creative freedom.
Can you imagine if that happened.... After this week... That's now in the realm of possibility, :o

But, I'm going to be honest, I don't think Sana was all-in for everything that comes with the Holo streaming platform. Unfortunately, a lot of the games that Holos get pushed to play didn't appeal to her, and she was always fervent about doing things for fun not numbers. She was a positive galaxy beam, but also the gen punching bag because of her odd streaming hours, game choices, and overall retaining numbers (which is stupid but something that can't be ignored).

In EN2, whose going to become the new gen punching bag?

Now that i remember it, she was supposed to play kusoge games every monday, but that got scrapped right at the start, maybe because permissions.

I keep hearing this. Any source of this shift from "Idol" to "Entertainment"?

I've replied to similar comment few days ago:

I thought it was just a meme? In January Coco accidentally got Sora to say motherfucker and then right after the stream finished Yagoo made a video saying Cover is an entertainment company and fans spun that as Yagoo giving up on making Hololive (not Cover) an idol agency or something. It was never meant to be serious, just a joke.
 
Next is ayame.

Send your hats and puzzle pieces now, I will be right.
Why the fuck would Ayame graduate when all she has to do is stream once a month and appear in random birthday concert streams and Hologra?

I caught a bit of the Remi/Erina minecraft stream earlier. Remi's voice filters me hard, but they seemed to have a mother/daughter-outing-to-the-park dynamic going.
Remi voice filters me a bit.

All she needs to do is say she'll play Baldur's Gate and I'm officially going to orgasm.
That would be nice. Lumi played a bit of Baldurs 3.

Maybe Sana needs to graduate because she's gonna have a back surgery, thus needs a hell lot of time to recover, and needing to stream doesn't help her recovery at all?
This could always be a possibility.

Something else people haven't really pointed out yet. Cover is big on the idol gig. According to people who got pretty far in the audition process, Cover really pushes stuff like concerts, live appearances, etc. If Sana's health just didn't make that kind of thing a realistic prospect, that's one more reason they might've decided to have her graduate.

That said, I think this is going to be a pretty amicable split overall. Nobody seems angry or mad, just a bit sad. Cover's immediately released a highly supportive message saying it was her decision. This is about as nice as it gets. Again, saddest thing here is a great character design and unique concept having to be shelved.
This is something I thought about but I don't think it applies to HoloEN. That said, if Marine broke her knee earlier today, the implications of this scare the shit out of me. I would fucking hate for her to be next only because she can't dance on stage.
