No doubt. How big was Zaion when she was axed though? Selen was a megastar, and had the added benefit of Zaion being axed before her, so the audience knew what to expect.
Something about government policy and how China is increasingly trying to make the concept of privacy to be non-existent in that blasted yellow country.
Yeah, I didn't look into it but that looks more like incompetency to me. I assume some trolls made that compilation by accessing leaked databases. Chinese never gave a fuck about protecting private citizen data.
In addition to that another yt clip of it
That reincarnated as Aoi Sakura just days later, instead of waiting a few weeks/months like a lot of graduated vtubers seem to do.
Anycolor's biggest mistake is thinking that they can keep their success going indefinitely and not adapting or experimenting, they thought that their method of "acceleration" and letting fans to only "stick to their favourite" will withstand the changes in the industry market forever
This I ultimately doubt. This is the beginning of the end for them, at least in the English market. Their two biggest talents just jumped ship, one under a torrent of controversy which is negatively effecting the entire brand. People could overlook Zaion because she was new. Nobody can overlook this. This will cause a stain of bitterness and suspicion to hang over the entire branch. People will be reluctant to support the branch going forward because the theories of a "mean girls" clique within Niji will only strengthen and be taken as gospel now. Niji's shotgun approach to talent acquisition is only making it worse. They've introduced so many new talents that people can't keep up anymore and most no longer care. With all the talents they've introduced, they've yet to produce a single one that comes remotely close to matching Selen's numbers, or even Pomu's. Most aren't that successful or memorable; some have numbers that are outright terrible. I guarantee you this, its a matter of when, not if, the next major talent leaves and who it is. It could be Rosemi or Finana, who were part of the first two waves and were close with Pomu and Selen. It could be someone from a newer wave, like Scarle. But Niji is staring down the barrel of a death spiral after losing three major talents in as many months.
if anycolor shits out more waves after this they're going to bury themselves further. i was there the first few waves of EN but after a while it gets annoying and tiring to keep up with everyone, if they do this now after everything then their image will take even more damage. HoloEN had a better approach in my opinion with waves, not dropping new waves immediately after the other. Advent and Promise had a few years between each other, establishing the older gens community
I swear to God, if Phase Connect snipes Rosemi and reunites her with the Tsunderia talents then I'm throwing up my hands and declaring we live in the meme timeline.
I personally don't think the problem was Selen being big but mainly that sayu being the first. I think if they switched places, aka selen being fired first, sayu would get way more support than she got
