General Thread v3: The Hexagone

[kushami tasukaru]

Koyori continuing FFX, might finish it today.

Yesterday she had to fight Yunalesca twice, restored the party's zombie status in the first run. Good thing is she had time to run to the toilet during the long cutscene before her second attempt.

Re:AcT's Lisa Makoh back at 2PM JST with a singing stream.

Took a rest after last week's birthday live and review streams.

VSpo's Amayui Moka is a Street Fighter specialist, other games not so much.


Lamy with the important question for FlowGlow.


Been a while since a Hinano laugh clip.

TL;DW: "When I was 3, I shat in the sandbox at the park and made everyone laugh. It made me happy seeing everyone's smiles, and that's why I joined Hololive"

This fuckin' bitch.

The absolute distraught on Nodoka's face before she wiped it out of her memory lmao
Chihaya/JP-Cecilia debut


Niko/Blonde Raden debut


Blonde Kanade cringed at her own debut and wanted a redo

Sorry, you aren't allowed to vote for concerts in this category. They don't want to give holo a chance to mog everything again.

You can awlways vote for HoloGTA (there is also Doki's WWE tournament).

i just realized that the black screen event and Selen's firing in general are not even a year old and they were probably some of the biggest shake ups of the EN side of the industry
not to mention 3 Holo OGs leaving/getting fired too

When it comes to non-JP i would assume that the Black Screen stream was THE biggest thing to happen and thanks to Niji's presence in the west is mostly dead.

I mean Selen pulled numbers (sure not Vox numbers, but more than peak Elira) but was left to sink, it's numbers plus some unknown personal bias thrown in.

Selen was top female on Niji EN when it came to views, members and donos and she was pretty high overall evne when compared to JP.

Explain why Elira got way more merch than Selen in spite of having fewer subs then.

The rrat that she was pseudo management might explain that one. Or the fact that her being in JP gives her preferential treatment. She is also part of Gen 1 and in a way she has served as the face of the EN branch for people in japan.

Shamelessly stolen from vt

Haruka Karibu went live for the first time in four months to explain her absence
TL;DW
> >she is experiencing burnout (likely autistic burnout, which is different) >2023 had "lots of shit" happen in her personal life which she is still trying to heal from, she calls it the worst year of her life >her self-worth has tanked, she feels unworthy of her place in VShojo because she isn't doing things that the other members are doing, and hasn't done the things she wanted for herself upon joining >she feels guilty for having not finished her subathon, which was interrupted by her long-term COVID/bronchitis combo >she has recently started seeing a therapist who specializes in neurodivergency and is learning that she has spent her life "in denial" of her autism, trying to be normal when she isn't >she has no estimation for when she will be back to regular activity

Edit: Goddamn mobile posting

Thats sad to hear. I dont watch her much but from what I have seen shes just a goofy girl that sometimes says some really dumb shit. Hope things get better for her.

Yes, and the rrat was supported by the fact that Elira got way more merch than anyone else in the company.

The amount of merch she got was actually stupid as hell. She got about 8/12 merch collabs while everyone else was getting 2 or 3. Hell even the boys. I also remember Selen saying that her dream collab was with Hello Kitty. Elira got in that one and Selen didn't.

I want @frz to explain how "Selen doesn't move merch" makes sense. Please explain how Selen would not sell more PC cases over Elira and Enna.

It doesnt. Selen's fans were pretty dedicated and slapping her shit on anything that was PC gaming related like peripherals would sell like hotcakes.

Someone's been doing a bit of noticing on the /r/virtualyoutubers subreddit. Both Michi and Melody's backgrounds apparently feature the same 4 unknown faces.
And if you tune in to Henya's stream right now, there they are, kind of sloppily inserted into her usual background.

View attachment 82836
I'm going to go out on a limb and say these 4 are the new VShojo recruits. As far as I know, Nazuna was teased in a similar way.
Anybody have an idea who these 4 could be? VShojo allows you to carry your persona with you, so these might be known figures.

Edit: Just some more info, they were not in Henya's background in her last stream 3 Days ago and when asked who they were she simply said something along the lines of: "Sorry, I can't look back, I'm 2D"

VShojo has now had 2 highly produced group covers in as many weeks, has an ongoing long term event promoting collabs with the stamp rally and now these 4 mystery characters start appearing in their streams. They're definitely working up to something. The stamp rally ends on new year but with the new recruits already appearing in the backgrounds I think they'll still arrive this year.

Going to assume these will be 4 new JP talents. Its been more than 2 years since Vshojo mentioned wanting to open a JP branch. Somehow Phase managed to do it first than them.

Called it.

For those unaware, Lia is going to fashion school (in Japan I believe). Liacons were a bit worried about a potential change in her schedule in the Discord, to which Lia said "stop dooming"

 

[Banana Hammock]

Man, there are a lot more reaction vtubers than I thought. Obviously I knew about Alana and Aquwa, but after watching a few Smug Alana videos, there's a bunch of stuff popping up in my recs.

Oh, she decided to take that up after all? I missed that - haven't caught many of her streams recently. She's going to be able to balance that and streaming?

Huh. Good luck to her.

 

[Stunned But Dumb]

She's going to be able to balance that and streaming?

Several of the girls tend to be sort of sporadic at times, maybe even sparse in their schedules. As long as they're actually trying or their external stuff is big enough, I don't think Sakana or their fans mind too much.

Even if she goes to one stream a week(-ish) I think she'll be fine

 

[Banana Hammock]

She's going to be able to balance that and streaming?

She's said in the past that she has no intention to stop streaming any time soon. Probably helps that her meds wear off after an hour, so she can't stream for very long.

Yeah there was a bit of a kerfluffle earlier this year when she speculated on twitter that she might not make it to next year in vtubing land

 

[Stunned But Dumb]

Serina's streaming an autism test and slowly, a bunch of V4Mirai have been joining in for this unplanned collab. Really fun and hilarious crew

Spoiler: Iori yabai

Girl...

The most egregious example of fuckery with merch that we can be pretty much certain about about was the Hyte collab. They wanted to work with Selen. Selen wanted to work with them. Instead we were going to get gamer PCs for Elira, Enna and Rosemi, until Hyte ditched Niji after The Selening...

Doki's Hyte merch is in stock and shipping now, btw.

Stupid woman.

What happened? I thought you have sympathy for Sayu?

Not gonna lie, looking at her hands on that screen made me feel like she's gonna poke both my eyes out really hard.

Apparently Kaela's proportions were fixed on the official site. She doesn't look like El Slenderina anymore.

Newest Hologra will be a promotion for FBKingdom.

I read it as FBIKINGDOM and had a big think for a moment.

I guess I'm happy for myself but I feel bad for Kiara. Gigi is like some sort of bubbly laughing disease infecting everyone around her. But a fun disease.

did they literally just make her wider.

You can awlways vote for HoloGTA (there is also Doki's WWE tournament).

Just watch Holo not win this category because their vote is split across multiple events like the HoloGTA, Enreco, the spelling bee, and all those sololives.
