I am going to do an end-of-year stream on the 30th of December. If anyone would like to make a nice thumbnail for it, DM me. I can pay in a free title, advertisement, or filthy lucre - I can actually do this now as PayPal has finally recognized my business account.
This is a long-shot, but i'm starting to think Eimi's fuckup might actually cause Tenma to prematurely jump models, so she's now allowing other Phase talents to have fun with this one as a send-off.
Idk what other explanations are there for three skinwalking instances in a single week.
HoloGTA ended earlier today and it was one week of peak entertainment. This has been a great year for Holo events with stuff like Hardcore Minecraft, ARK, 7 Days to Die and ENReco but I'd definitely consider GTA my favorite so far. While the other events had an overall common goal, GTA was different in that there was no goal. A bunch of JP/EN/ID girls were thrown into the sandbox of GTA and told to do whatever. Every single day had so many things happen that it was a little tough to follow, but goddamn was all of it fun.
I only watched Subaru's POV for livestreams, which I've said before was basically a single mother trying to take care of 14 retarded children and an entire city. The role of Police Chief was perfect for her not only cause of the Oozora Police lore, but because her natural ability to manage, delegate and keep the vibes energetic. There were a lot of hilarious moments, especially with Kanade, Biboo and Laplus being constant kusogaki menaces. As the days went on though, you could see their teamwork and communication improve. Her stress levels peaked multiple times and she even had her own Joker arc, but she still did her best to guide the team and make sure everyone was having fun. It was just as entertaining seeing them do their job well as it was seeing them be complete morons. Subaru said there couldn't have been a better team and I completely agree.
Botan: Without Botan as Deputy Chief, Subaru would have started her Joker arc on day 1. Botan was always there to offer advice, give a shoulder to lean on and make sure Subaru was doing okay. She was also a massive troll in ways that only Hag Lion could.
Matsuri: I expected her to hang out at the strip club or the casino most of the time, but she was genuinely one of the hardest workers throughout the week. She really tried to act like an officer and was constantly on patrols, reporting to Subaru or keeping an eye out for anything. Also her and Zeta getting married was cute, even if they divorced like 5 times.
Calli: The wigger's Japanese has come so far over these 4 years. She was constantly translating for Biboo, Ollie, Nerissa and Zeta and almost never missed a beat. She also tried to do her job and her RP accent was also really funny in general, especially when speaking JP. I know Subaru was glad to have her around.
Kanade: She gets a mention for being the biggest retard and the biggest source of Subaru's stress. I'm sure she'll be thinking of Subaru yelling KANADEEEEE for weeks to come. Even though she was the #1 girlfailure who spent 90% of her time at the casino, she did try at times and Subaru was proud of her in the end.
Miko was basically a 2nd deputy chief that helped Subaru with everything. Biboo was an adorable killing machine that always made Subaru laugh. Iroha and Ollie were sweethearts who constantly worked hard. Noel's girlcrush healed Subaru's heart after Okayu rejected her. Watame was just as much of a troll as she was a good officer. Suisei was a fun addition that vibed with everyone. Nerissa spent most of her time lost and that was okay. I kinda wanted to go into more detail on everyone but this post is big enough as is.
And that was just Subaru's POV. Overall, I really loved how different everyone's experience was. After Subaru's stream ended, I usually browsed for clips and just laughed at how much of a contrast there was. IRyS crashing almost every car she drove, FuwaMoco overcharging all their hospital bills while being both malicious and plain dumb, Marine's strip club that somehow got SorAZ and Mio, the whole drama with Korone/Mio/Kanata/Fubuki, Moona and Reine trying to take care of their restaurant. Like it's amazing that I'd have never known how many incidents were Polka's fault if it wasn't for @frz posting about it. The clips and the fanart will be coming for weeks, if not months, and that is the best compliment these events could get.
Last thing I wanna mention is how much preparation and work went into this. Mio said a while ago that the girls started getting ready for this around a month or 2 ago. The leaders (Miko, Suisei, Subaru, Botan, Towa, Aki, Mio, Fubuki, Okayu) would hold meetings that'd last hours, familiarizing themselves with the game, the mod mechanics and other stuff. I recall Subaru saying she had a meeting that started at 11PM and went on for 5 hours. Then they would do these meetings daily after the server went down, reflecting on what happened that day and what could be improved. There were frustrating bugs, stupid fans and some awkward misunderstandings but you could really feel how hard everyone worked to make it happen. I saw Subaru, Towa and Aki crying during the end today and that shit had me tearing up too, knowing how much effort they all put in.
TLDR thanks to Suisei and Miko for running such a godlike event, especially when they both have sololives coming up soon.
Unfortunately, the week that the GTA event happened was a rough week at work for me, so I had really no time to watch any streams, vods, or even keep up with clips, but the bit I did get to watch was a lot of fun.
However, I ended up taking the day off today and was able to catch some of the last day, and it was a fun watch. I had Subaru's and Biboo's streams going. Still want to go back and try to watch more of it all, but since it's being talked about, I did want to highlight one memorable and wholesome moment I did get to witness that I posted about in Liveposting:
Biboo had a ton of fun with it. She said she was nervous because of the language barrier at first, but that every day was a lot of fun and everything was worth it. And she says she doesn't think she'll be so nervous with future events and that she won't worry about the language barrier because they did great despite it.
She then went on to say that this will be a highlight for her, being able to come out of her shell a bit and interact with her JP senpais. She also went on to praise Subaru in particular because of how hard she worked and how great of a leader she was, particularly highlighting how she made sure that the EN members were included in everything.
I'm glad Biboo and everyone had so much fun with this. I always love these kinds of events and watching the fun interactions they all have. It's also always really nice watching Subaru always going out of her way to make sure everyone is having fun and is included in everything going on. Much respect to everyone involved in making this happen.
This kind of thing is why I love Phase (no shade to Hololive, there is a reason they are the industry standard). In any other cropo this would be made into a big drama or at least have negative consequences for the talents involved but for Phase it's just fuel for more content. Also, someone posted not that long ago that if times were different these girls would be hurling slurs at each other nonstop and I immediately thought about the fact that Panko is Italian and Tenma is Romanian. It was inevitable that Panko would call her a gypsy. I just didn't expect to be proven right so quickly.
