DEV_IS Discussion/Debut Thread

[CalciumAnimal]

Riona's artist is illustrator for 86: Eighty Six. Time to simp my brain out

and now i know why she looks familiar that's recolored Vlad.

Overall not sure what you all are bitching about. aside form the bait posters.

Oh wow they really are putting money into it huh? No gen ever had an actual irl location opened just for their debut.

I wonder how the Old Gens feel seeing how Cover is going out of their way to support the new blood

Cover Now: Flies talents to Japan, all expense free trip to make them acquainted with each other and share tips

Cover before:
Cover: Akirose, here's your Iphone. Now stream
Aki Rose: Wait aren't you going to teach me what to do, this is my first time Vtubing
Cover: .... Have fun

I wonder what is with the obsession about GLO. It leads to such terrible name.
"Glo" -> guro in japanese literally means "gore" too
Name prediction for future gens
1st gen REGLOSS
2nd gen FLOWGLOW
3rd gen DEADGLOCK
4th gen BOOMGLOOM
5th gen PLANTAGINACEAEGLOBULARIACEAE

Somehow they remind me of the uproar boys

Pride and relief
Pride because they were the one that lead the company to this point and pioneering for other to follow
Relief because increased in initial investment comes with increase in responsibility and expectations. Cover aint doing it for free.
Regloss was put through mildly intensive dancing and singing training and they can barely even take it. They "had" to make multiple covers as well. And half of those covers end up on the dev_is channel and not their own.
I figured they have worse cuts as well considering how much holo invested in them
Meanwhile a lot of hololive initially joined just to stream. If they were put into doing the same thing year 1 they would immediately walked. I can see shion/ayame quitting after half a year for example.

Will this be like ReGloss and have a foreigner and someone for the countryside of Japan? I love Bancho and Yellow Thing

The latter aren't exactly rare in Hololive, I think. Suisei and Subaru out of the ones I pay attention to.

Tokyo is basically an engine burning people. The Japanese countryside breeds new fuel, and the young people then move to Tokyo for a job, where they work and die.

As for the former, careful what you wish for.

Nobody wants the debutante's first word be "Nihao!"

Both the EN and JP profile specifically mentions her dialect. Did they get a full-time Kansai member?

Isn't that (774) Rene's girlfriend, (774) Chris?

 

[nooternun]

It looks like a version of Sakamata from one of those bootleg figurines made with an expired mould so it looks stretched and slightly melted.

VTubing's obviously been going for long enough now that it's hard to come up with truly unique designs, but when I take a look at the promo art and immediately see legally-distinct Loki and Ironmouse it's not exactly the best first impression.

I kinda felt the designs were a bit... So let's look at some recent designs!

Spoiler: Talk

FLOWGLOW - looks sort of disjointed

For reference - NijiJP new wave

(an aside I fucking love Tamako's head empty design). Overall, bland
VSPO's new two

Hanabi's model by LAM is stunning but Moka will out gain her with skill. I would LOVE a Holo generation with Hanabi's style but it's Irys all the way down
Back to Regloss

I think that Regloss felt more of a unit because the outfits matched. The tone and vibe of Flowglow is good but not as cohesive

Overall, I think Flowglow still has good style. I think the artists had to adjust their designs towards the mean to accomplish some cohesiveness. For Regloss that came from their initial outfits. I still think that there is a wide variety of styles considering their moms

https://x.com/mada_tetsukazu - Niko
https://x.com/niiiitoooon - Su
https://x.com/toridamono - Chihaya
https://x.com/kikiraravivi - Vivi
(Chihaya is most likely to be referred to as Rindo, is the name more catchy in JP?)

you know if you tell me this is a alt costume of Sakamata i would believe you

Say that to her face

English profiles:

The TL was soooooooo close. Rindo must have been a Friday job. - A
"Break vs brake" and "on vs in".

We had one of those, but she left to pursue talent freedom.
