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

Anyone watching the niji debuts Im gonna miss them for the Watson podcast
You aren't the only one, the viewer count is pretty low now, I hope they can get at least 50k viewers during the stream.

They tried to get two new girls in and have the model be Kizuna instead of the personality by having all three use it. That was a shitshow.

It's been the original for a long time now. Kizuna bought herself out when the company responsible folded. Unsure if she owns the new company or works for them, but she owns the model now.

One of the alternate Kizuna, Love, still streams and collabs with Kizuna quite a bit with her own model. The other one, Aipii quit streaming altogether.
Yeah, upd8's shitty management certainly didn't help anything - it seems pretty common for people to still be confused about what happened there (and for good reason, it was dumb as hell). I believe the situation now is that Kizuna's company is a subsidiary of Activ8 (who originally started upd8 ) but she has a lot more say in what happens. upd8 closed for good last December.

Regarding her sub count vs. view count, as mentioned earlier - it also seems like a pretty common problem for big YouTubers. I imagine many Hololive members will also start to feel the effects of that (if they aren't already)

Three more major Niji announcement incoming, I'm calling three more EN members hinted in that background static. (edit: I was wrong)

Switching between the Gura podcast and the Niji special stream with Hana and whoever the ID guy is.. Guess I'm biased but the podcast just feels more comfy, relaxed and natural. Hololive's recruiters are either good, lucky or both..

Been a while lads, as far as podcasts go, the fish tank thing ame is doing is alright, think it might need a few episodes of it to find it flow and rhythm to settle in nicely. Feels like at the moment just like a just chat stream with Gura added in. Name for show is pretty creative though.

Gorgeous 10/10
 
That was fast, first Niji girl.. Rainpuff sounded a lil nervous but brought the energy. Not amazing but not bad at all. I was flipping between the HL podcast and the two Niji streams so I probably missed her special skills or whatever makes her stand out. It sucks going first, at least she wasn't lagging like Calli and was wasn't as nervous. Ok debut but nothing really stood out, will watch the recap clips to see what I missed.

Edit: Ok I'm liking this second Niji girl.. Elira. Her singing is pretty good to my untrained ears and she seems more relaxed and natural. She is cultured.
