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

I legit commented on her new agency deal that got her hooked up with SEGA, so I don't blame her. Within a short timespan, they got her in a game and Vshojo just existed without actively pushing boundaries. They are either going to have to actually commit to hiring a new wave or just forfite and foreclose.

Realistically what can they do now? Ironmouse is already bigger than your brand and unless they are covering medical, why stay? Zen is a TTS tranny and if you think marketing your division around someone who doesn't actually speak, you'd have to be brain dead. This leaves us with a coomer who has likely seen the writing on the wall when not being pressed up against it, Froot who'd demand her mother be part of PR and the green haired person who I often forget exists if it wasn't for this thread. Snuffy and Onigiri lucked out not getting hired.
 
The VTuber bubble has bursted. Just like most of those former Youtube companies like Machinima, Normal Boots, etc you'll start seeing a lot of the small ones die off while the few more resilient ones limp on for longer.
The JP companies largely seem more successful than ever, even some of the smaller corpos are getting to have actual concerts. Some of the EN startups are having success, the failures are not due to a lack of demand as far as I can see, it's all on bad company cultures, management and talents

Machinima was brought out by Warner, Maker via Disney. Whereas Normal Boots was a non-corporate collective (like Girls FC or Vinesauce) that fell apart due to Jon's racial crime stats and the latter reboot featuring ProJared (who'd go on to cheat on his wife)

The deaths are not remotely alike a multi-million dollar entity basically dying within the span of two years.

Unrelated, but it's practically karmic that Jon continues to live comfortably while his former colleagues (who threw him under the bus for attending a debate which he had no experience in) either ended up in obscurity, controversy, or mediocrity.
 
That's how VShojo marketed themselves; as a group of indy VTubers working under a single banner. Someone else already pointed this out, but they were very much a corporate VTuber company despite appearances.

As for the friends part, the last couple of controversies surrounding then showed the girls are anything and everything but friends to each other, especially with Silvervale being harassed and receiving death threats just for wanting to play a game.

With that said, Hime's not that far behind to go out next, though her not renewing her contract would mean squat since Syd barely, if at all, streams as Hime these days.

I was gonna say I don't think I've ever fucking seen that Hime chick stream despite her being in vshojo, I fogot she was even a member.

I bet Haruka feels a bit weird after "winning" her audition, you got in and three of them just abandoned ship.


Squibby Cat is now gone.

Glad they at least let her do the goodbye video. Whether she's quitting vtubing entirely or got poached, it does suck to see but shit happens.
 
Nice getting that shout out in Phase Weekly!

lol sorry am dum

DAMMIT IT'S ALREADY BEEN YEETED!

Something seems really wrong at Vshojo, at least their contracts. So who are they poaching now to replace the leaving members. Shiliy?

Regarding the Houshou Marine's Second World saga post from @Deluxe2 that is not quotable for me: Fukuen Misato (Toga from BNHA, Golden Darkness from To Love-Ru, Yin from Darker than Black) and Inoue Marine (Armin from AOT, Yaoyorozu from BNHA, Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann) gushing over Marine. Hags supporting Hags (Fukuen Misato is 41 years old and the older one of the two, can you believe that?)

That's a fairly broad take. "The Completionist" became a corporate speaker, having recently been hired by Capcom to promote Street Fighter 6 and was involved in the short lived G4 reboot. "Did You Know Gaming?" maintains it's place as mid-filler trivia content that the algorithm loves to push. "ProJared" and his penis remains present in Internet Famous. Really the only notable duds are "Continue?" who never held much ground to begin with and "Satch" who was the new hire at the time, who ended up working for Forbes.

Isn't one of the terms of signing with them is that they take over control of your merch output. She'd be a retard to give up that bank

Didn't say it would be a smart move for her. I also just realized that Shiliy has over 1.1 million follower on twitch, I thought she was much more on Snuffy's level (400k). Don't really think she needs Vshojo but Vshojo would be happy to have her
I saw this get the fuck out promo pic and thought it was edited but it was a real collab in January 2022. So froot is still missing to complete the bingo card. Life simply writes the best stories (T | A)

Fuura Yuri's new channel has been found:
View attachment 5104531
Another blue loli to the list. Scrolling through her media posts, seems to be doing a slightly higher pitched voice and going for a more bratty character. I like her model's outline as if drawn with crayons or similar
On that note, she is coming back quite fast (as many others), which makes me wonder how long would Riifu Evergreen take to come back to streaming even if not a vtuber? Cuz she said it was for legal reasons that she couldn't immediately the day of her termination.

A tale in 3 (or more acts) Riifu, the lewd Scottish Fauna and formerly Dudethatslewd/wholesome, took some time off. She was gone longer than initially announced.

How long do other terminated vtubers take to come back on average? Kawaii Gen3 they were already with schedules a week after
 
I'm happy that yuri has been found, and that she's coming back soon. New model looks nice, but I'll need to wait to see her stream before I can give full thoughts on it. I think the voice is going to be temporary, since it sounds similar to her cyberlive debut voice.
Maybe the ol' bait and switch. Extra cute pre-debut, release the menhera when live
 
if ironmouse stays, her deal has to be hella good. as in vshojo takes no cut, and pays her to put their logo on her name.
And that's still an if - she mentioned during her stream yesterday that she's still negotiating her contract with Vshojo right before announcing she's delaying her subathon from starting today to either last week of May or start of June
