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

Rust exposed Matsuri's friend list and their Steam account numbers. I can't be assed to translate the jap names but maybe it is interesting.

I think the bottom right one is Rushia.
 
Ollie and Kobo Valorant Collab with Uproar bois

So, i just watched Ollie POV of the valorant collab stream. For the most part, it seems fine. The collab was great and we get to see some interesting dynamics between them. Although, in the middle of the stream, i thought ollie was kinda quiet (which is super abnormal considering her personality). I didn't really think too much about it tho, as i was quite enjoying uproar bois interaction with kobo (as it is kobo's first time interacting with holostars). All is well until the game ended and they close their vc. Suddenly, Ollie sounds like she's crying. P.s it got nothing to do with the collab, ollie herself said she enjoyed it. She then said that she will change her schedule for this week while not sounding well on the background as she close the stream. So i haven't really seen Ollie stream (or hololive stream in general) for a while, so i don't really know the situation. Does anyone have a clue as to what is happening? Maybe a clue in a different stream or tweet, cuz her tweet have been like usual for the past couple of days. Nothing seems odd, but when i heard her sounding not so well during the ending of the stream, it worries me.
It's a private matter, that's how much I would say. She informed us in the member post. Yes she will not stream for a while and she may or may not give a reason why in public.
 
Sana definitely tried to explain about the Cover PR note, and it sounds like it was designed to be vague, but then kind of backed out on explaining because it was leaning on info she didn't want to share, probably for the best.

I think I'm breathing in copium, but it sounded like that the intention was to leave a backdoor open for Sana to come back down the line, whenever that is. Obviously I'm not going to have my hopes up.
I definitely wouldn't count on it. The fact that it was not simply chalked up to health reasons means it was more than that. Cover suggested leaving it vague and she agreed after thinking about it.

There are way too many possibilities as to what directly caused the decision, so I am just personally going to choose not to mull over what they could or couldn't be, if I can. It was clearly not a decision she made lightly, so if she feels it is best for her, that is enough for me.
 
In other words, if they don't open a new audition sometime in the next week or two then they probably already have Wave 7 and it could even be September. I hope not, though. Six people really is a lot to only give two months, even four is pushing it. It's not like LazuLight and Obsydia where their staggered release only amounted to one member more than the average Holo gen.
Those are just amateur numbers. Just look at how many the main Nijisanji branch has currently and they just recently introduced both Ranunculus and VoltAction, with many others coming through the VTA in the near future. I will not be surprised if Anycolor does not stop until they match or even surpass the number of JP livers because the more members, the more profits.
 
Sykunno will finally live out his dream of collabing with Gura
Doubt it but I would assume Stars EN to have more OTV orbiters around and possibly collabs.

good old fashioned unsolicited virtue signalling.
Amazing how a statement of universal respect can make me lose a bit of it for them when it's done in that context.
Why do I have the feeling Finnana's whole "Educate Yourself" is related/inspired by people in this new gen. Normally I don't give a shit if you are trans or gay or whatever but from past experiences, once you get these people into something and they start virtue signaling it usually signifies the death of something. Comics, games, and movies all went through this and now it seems it spread to vtubing.

So how long until we see some in-fighting and drama? Gonna assume Fulgur, Enna, Reimu, and Selen to be the ones to get canceled internally since they seem the most likely to not go with the PC shit.

She's getting emotional but still keeping it together. I'm real glad that she's able to go out on such good terms with her head held up high.
Hurts, even more, that way. I feel like Rushia and Coco were pretty clear cut. Coco said fuck it because management sucks. Rushia got yeeted for being retarded, here its just shit happens.

He popped up on my recs last year. His channel mainly has videos that are styled as lectures on various weeb shit like "what are vtubers" or "what is a tomboy". As far as I know he is a competent entertainer and judging on his content alone I think he can carry his weight. Maybe people don't like him because he likes to remind people that he is a...half Korean half Taiwanese bisexual dude?

Edit: could also be the people he associates with - Saruei for eg
Same. I only watched about 3 of his videos and I didn't mind them basically a sort 5-minute class explaining normies what X or Y term was in the anime community.

As for associating with Saruei, good. At least she seems like she is not into the whole SJW cancer mindset. Shame she stood true to her heritage and apologized when they "cancelled" her but in a way I get it.

If anything, /vt/ seems to like him, it's one of the reason he suddenly gained a lot of support there.
I mean I guess there is nothing really bad that stands out.
 
Knowing Bae's actual voice but hardly hearing it is true suffering. I'm actually thinking I prefer girls with deeper voices at this point since Suisei, Bae and RIsu (I'm pretty sure the deep voice is her natural one, not sure) all sound amazing. Oddly enough Mori and Kronii do nothing for me, probably given one speaks like "ya boi" with a dash of moistcritikal (reddit), while the other is constant deadpan.
I would love kronii's voice if she actually had a bit more confidence and sarcasm but with a playful side to not anger the retards who can't take that kind of humor, her style in that one minecraft collab where they were digging a tunnel in the nether actually reminded me of Sips from the yogscast back in the day. Her problem is that she's kinda scatterbrained and just folds like a wet paper towel at the first sign of coming off as too mean and mostly just acts as other member's comic relief and punching bag.

This makes me realize how much i want a "no bs" vtuber, who is just like a straightman to the retardation of the others and doesn't get fazed by teasing or dumb antics and just plows through everything.

30% YouTube cut is the most obnoxious since all they do is host videos and cause problems while not giving a fuck if issues arise
The alternative--Bilibili--is worse, since they take 50%. Twitch is also just a worse YouTube
He's quite an entertaining person depending if you take the world too serious or not. "Big deal"? Not like say Corpse Husband being a "big deal", but he's pretty liked in the anime/vtuber community.
I just looked this guy up on YouTube and why the fuck does he need to join an agency. He's already doing big numbers. Can't say for his Twitch though since he deleted his VODs

Edit: Im stupid. I forget that money isn't the only reason why people join these agencies and that theyre actually helpful in terms of management, community, and all that bullshit.

They get told by management to start pandering as that's what brings in the money. The ones in the indie sphere tend to be 0-2 view that goes unnoticed unfortunately.

Yeah was gonna say, aside money having corporate backing can be quite a boon even with the restrictions that comes with it.

More perks, more connections, an actual company backing him up. Also, I think that, unlike Holostars JP, EN will be way more popular. I doubt he will have to struggle his way to hit 100,000 like the original did. He will probably hit that 100,000 in the first week or two.

yes that's rushia at the end, AAA is haachama, at a glance any of the names that arent just hololive members using odd names, are either nijisanji people, honeystrap or just random Apex Autists or small indie vtubers

A no BS attitude wouldn't really work outside of collabs, even then people like the banter and the cutesy stuff. Actually if we are talking about talent appeal, what is Nene's draw? I haven't seen much of her but what I saw didn't really get an image of what she was like. The only thing I really remember is she's a masochist who wants Walt Disney to click his tongue at her while wearing big shoes.

It's a shame the corporate backing doesn't extend outside of Japan. People give reasons for EN, but I've never heard of ID having dance lessons or anything that JP has, even though most of the girls are supposedly from around Jakarta. It would be nice if one benefit of joining Cover was talents getting more support to help them grow with dancing, singing, voice acting, etc. It's clear multiple girls have a desire to voice act (Bae, Kronii and Risu) but I haven't heard anything about that being developed, meanwhile JP has voice acting roles in anime, visual novels, etc. Oh Ame got to contribute to some multiplayer game, and I think Ina and someone else ended up as a cameo in some gacha game. In retrospect EN does get a few extra connections.
 
Haven't all the waves been given around three months tops until the next drop?
Pretty much. I think the longest gap will be about 5 months with Noctyx dropping back in February but yeah all previous groups only had about 2-3 months in between them. I think ILUNA will probably be okay even with a short window. This whole time I've always thought that between Hololive, Nijisanji, VShojo, etc. surely there'll be a point of vtuber oversaturation but it sure doesn't seem to be slowing down yet. All the current groups in Nijisanji seem to be doing relatively well for themselves despite pumping out new groups at such a rapid pace. Being corpo vtubers, they already basically have a guaranteed audience right out the gate.

Fauna can take on that role sometimes, the Ender Dragon stream from the other day being an example.
