Thank you thread mod. Back to our usual content now. Any Apex shitters here ready to watch IRyS eat shit? Guarantee it will end up a shitshow, but one I'm ready for.

I'm just waiting for when IRyS makes her home in the EN Minecraft server. It's inevitable.

I have 0 interest in Apex but I'm kinda watching a bit of anything Irys because I'm still kinda getting a feel for her. I didn't watch her previous persona.

I'm actually really excited for something along the lines of that as well! The Minecraft streams will be super enjoyable to watch. Also looking forward to the first collab, with whomever it may be. Any bets? Mine's on Gura.

I enjoyed watching her old persona quite a bit, so it's refreshing seeing her back with the ability to interact with the Hololive scene. Also, I'm just an addict when it comes to Apex so I personally have bias when it comes to people who play it. Apologies if the vast majority of the people who post on the thread dislike it.

Pippa is loving Red Wings and recommends it as a 5/5 game.

Also, this is like the second time YouTube has unsubscribed me from her channel.

Probably Calli. Both are in Japan, so they could set up a schedule that benefits them both.

Didn't consider that, but it is definitely likely! We'll have to wait and see, though.

Pippa is losing her shit at the game

Is she playing up the character or pretty much the same person? As for Apex, I simply suck major ass at shooters.

From what I remember, practically the same person. Only difference being the whole "H O P E" tomfuckery.

Edit: For future reference, post-Apex stream here's a VOD of her playing before.

So now that NijiEN Wave 2 has been announced and their past lives are basically confirmed (I see some people are doubtful penguin is Shachimu though), I thought I'd poke around and see the current status of all the VTubers who recently graduated or otherwise disappeared within the past few months. If someone less lazy than me wants to add links or put together an image or something go right ahead.

Spoiler: thanks for the info /vt/

Already graduated:
Maid Mint - NijiEN LazuLight's Pomu Rainpuff
Ryuusei Nova - NijiEN LazuLight's Elira Pendora
Shirogane Yui - NijiEN Lazulight's Finana Ryugu
Namirin - Hololive EN VSinger IRyS
Fuzuki Miki/Kirihime Ria - NijiEN Obsydia's Rosemi Lovelock
Shachimu - NijiEN Obsydia's Petra Gurin
Dokibird - NijiEN Obsydia's Selen Tatsuki
Ayane Ninomae - Production Kawaii's Isla Coleman
Marica Bellerose (previously MyHoloTV) - returned to VA channel K O Z U
Manaka Umio (previously MyHoloTV) - returned to indie persona Moon Jelly
Midorikawa Cream/Higanbana Posy - Prism Project's Miyoshino Shiki
Runa Kei - rebranded to Freya Hoshino
Hazard Hornet - reincarnated as indie Yamaguchi Glorko?

Graduation announced:
Kimino Miya - graduating end of Sept 2021, notably used to be part of upd8

Watch List:
Kyoresu - EU-based streamer, speaks English/Russian/Spanish and has 430k subs on Youtube, appears to be known for her loli voice
EileMonty - EU-based Youtuber/singer/VA with 626k subs, does a lot of character impressions
Chiikadayo - indefinite hiatus from streaming/VTuber activities starting July 3rd, clarified it's not a graduation/quitting
Athena Nightingale - still currently active, famous for that Haachama Horror song

It's interesting that basically every single person that was speculated to have made it into HoloEN/NijiEN has now been accounted for...so who exactly will be in HoloEN Gen 2? There may be more indie graduations closer to August/September but at this point it feels like a lot of the notable (and/or non-lolcow) names have been scooped up. I see people saying that Cover/AnyColor will likely only pick popular, already-established content creators from now on, but there's only so many big names out there. I wonder if we might see some literal who's getting into Hololive/Niji several generations down the line after the current cream of the crop has been recruited. On that note, I'm admittedly ignorant of who exactly is at the top of the indie scene now -- the only names I really know are Haruka Karibu, Lyrica, Bao, and Artemis. Are there any other noteworthy indies to add to the watch list?

In other unrelated news, Sister Abigail apparently has merch now, and 100% of proceeds are going to charity. @Takodachi in case you're interested


Also I happened to catch Athena Nightingale's karaoke earlier and holy shit she's got pipes. Unarchived unfortunately but luckily some kind soul has uploaded some clips from previous streams. Would love to see someone like her get into Hololive if Cover ever decides to get a second EN VSinger.

Loved until she didn't. She's going full gremlin mode. It's hilarious. Also played Night Witches piano cover as her intro music. A Sabaton fan as well she is.

 

[That Collab Hurt Me]

wait lol, did my handsome white new best friend get sent to the shadow realm? Aw man he was funny.

She also had a piano version of Red Baron playing at the very, very start. She has some great taste.

I'm expecting the hope thing to kinda fade a bit in a week or two. Kinda like Ina not talking about being a priestess all the time.

 

[FlappyBat]

Pippa is a DSP otherkin is now canon. The pigroach got a shout-out.

'Don't join discord if you're under age." The stream is wonderful as always.

 

[Milk Mage]

It's here.

It did get a tad annoying after a bit, but even if it doesn't get dropped I'll still continue to watch her content. It hasn't detracted from the overall quality thus far.

It's here.

I never thought I'd get nostalgic about what's practically a buttplug plush.
