Also, if you want to numberfag, they are tied exactly. 2.96million. Kizuna also has her birthday party tommorow, which has a paywall, but will still drive her numbers up. So even if you wanted to numberfag, who hits 3 million is still a betting man's game.

Kizuna is unlikely to gain ~40k subs on her paywalled birthday while Gura's gaining 10k every few days, so it's going to be Gura.

You know, going through the clips of the summer festival, I remembered around the same time Pekora started talking with Moona that she said she prefers to work on big projects alone because she gets frustrated with small talk when working and likes to focus until it’s done, keep to herself, ect.

And she took the lead on this whole thing, getting everything planned and set up so Coco could participate, has her construction company gain a good chunk of members, a good follow-up to the sports festival last year…

Good on Pekora.

EDIT: I am aware Pekora didn’t do everything or come up with the idea now. You don’t need to tell me.

The summerfest was Botan's idea though just saying.


This stream was 2 days before towa and botan clear the land that they are going to use for summerfest.

I still think that this hold true, Pekoland which is her idea got build without collabs if i remember correctly. The only time she call them(usaken members) through discord was when she officially opened pekoland.

No-one is talking about lulu coming back because she's a very different person with different reasons for leaving a different company, who never said anything about the possibility of returning and has no ambitions about changing the industry.
Coco has all but stated she's making her own vtuber group. The idea that she's just going to sit on her roommate account or join a different industry is a far bigger reach when she has repeatedly talked about wanting to be both a streamer and management and how much she loves vtubing and wants to support it
Vtubers graduate and dont return is certainly the norm but so it having their channel deleted and never being mentioned again, these are all things she doesnt like and is challenging.
It would be copium if she didnt already change the industry multiple ways.

If nothing else, she wouldnt have made those promises to Sora, Luna, Watame, Polka etc if she didnt intend to keep them

It's just kayfabe stuff.

These people don't stop existing when they turn off their stream. A large chunk of them knew each other WAY before Hololive even existed. There is are videos of Mio, Okayu, Towa, Watame, Kanata, Ars Almal all doing karaoke together in 2017 because they all knew each other from NND. Roberu and Polka hung out and played Among Us on their NND accounts NYE 2020. They're more than free to continue talking on a personal basis outside of work, and to anyone but socially-paralysed yuri-vtuber-shipping retards, that's the most important thing.

'I'll be back in 500 years', 'Okay I'll stay alive until then' is clearly a joke. Polka and Coco are going to talk and hang out IRL because they're functioning adults who remained friends despite no longer working at the same company. This shouldn't be a difficult idea to parse.

Even if we assume Coco makes her own V-Tuber group, that means she's moved on from Hololive. The argument was never that she's done with the V-Tuber industry, but that she will one day triumphantly return to Hololive when she's finished doing whatever she's leaving for. THAT is Copium.

She didn't, the summer fest was Botan's brainchild. She even ran a schedule and organized all of the activities. As an added bonus people like Miko and Suisei commited to such degree they stayed in their attraction (that horror hut) greeting and spooking all visitors for the duration of it.

Missed it live due to the strange time shift, so only just finished Gura's tutorial session.

I'm honestly blown away. Was not expecting it to be that good. If you've been sleeping on the Chronicles of Darkness TTRPG streams, at least give this one a shot. Put it on like it is a podcast while you're gaming/exercising/working.

Gura really surprised me. From the character creation stream, I expected her to half-ass it and just go along because the others were wanting to do it. She didn't sound excited at all at the time. I don't watch much of her in general, basically just the occasional karaoke streams. Yet after Kiara's session, she has apparently been talking about her character and her excitement about the session in basically every stream she has been doing. The /tg/ threads occasionally linked timestamps of such incidents. From following those, I'm pretty sure that she ended up being the most interested of all of them. Which, I think, showed through in her session. She said she never has played a TTRPG before, but she had to have done some improv or maybe high school theater or something. Or else she is really just a natural. The adlib about her character's grandfather in particular was great. She had character moments where she wasn't just following along with the plot and actual stakes and tensions toward the end that none of the others managed to match.

Give it a try.

As for ranking the others now that I've seen them all, Kiara's is probably second best. She was animated, had drive, and had a fairly interesting tutorial session overall. I don't like her voice normally. I'm not sure if she toned it down a bit or if I dislike it less than I thought I did, but I didn't find it that bad. Her verbal tic was a bit grating, however.

Ina's was alright. I generally like her as a person, not so sure about her character. A little more 'mad' to the scientist might have done her good, but I also understand not wanting to play someone completely over the top. Her session was, unfortunately, a bit dull for the most of it. There were interesting things going on around her, like the frat boys and witches, but she avoided interacting with them as much as possible. The ending was where it really shined.

Ame was my least favorite. It wasn't horrible by any means, but there were basically two factors that contributed to me ranking it lowest. The first and foremost was her speech. Kiara's verbal tic was mildly annoying, but not much worse than that. Ame's caveman grunts really dragged everything down. In a game like Chronicles of Darkness, speech is basically your primary method of interaction, so having such a severe impediment is... well, a massive impediment. The second, as some people have mentioned, is that she really just followed along with Calli's plot too much, which might have been a consequence of never dropping her character to say anything or discuss things with Calli. Apparently Calli gave her some tips, which she mentioned in a recent Valorant stream, so hoping she brings a little more to the table in the group sessions.

Group sessions that I am very much looking forward to. Can't wait.

Gura's was the only one I fully watched and even though I'm not really interested in TTRPGs, listening to her in the background made me think on how she is so into it. I guess her past VA roles also helped her put herself within the game.
