As a new year's gift I bring all of you this shitty fucking meme I spent 5 hours making:

Is this for viewers or chubas? Amazing work nonetheless.

I don't have enough time to pick up more chuubas, but I like what I've seen of her and the rest of Justice. ERB doesn't even have the bad kind of British accent, like Rin does.

Yagoo posts a State of the New Holo Year.

Spoiler: Full Text in English

Happy New Year, everyone!

With the new year comes an excellent time for reflection and new resolutions.
COVER’s goal is to create a future where “VTubing” becomes a recognized and established profession.
Last year, we were able to see our VTubers grow even further through exciting opportunities in mainstream media, such as appearing on TV programs.

Thanks to these experiences, we’ve attracted many talented people to join our company over time.
On the other hand, we faced challenges last year in various aspects that raised fan concerns.
We realized that we’ve grown too fast for the initial operations and structure we established several years ago, which has caused inefficiencies within the company. Presently, we are working hard to make changes to our organizational structure and create a system that provides a more sustainable environment for our talents, creators, employees, and staff to work together with a shared vision toward the future.

We realize that some of these changes will take steps and time, and that they may continue to worry our fans, but we are urgently committed to creating an optimal and enriching environment that everyone is proud to support.
We are actively hiring to improve and reach our goals, so if you are interested in working with us, please apply through the link below!

Thank you for your continued support!

I'd like to bring your attention to this sentence.

Presently, we are working hard to make changes to our organizational structure and create a system that provides a more sustainable environment for our talents, creators, employees, and staff to work together with a shared vision toward the future.

For those unaware, this is C-Suite-speak for "We're about to do a round of layoffs."

Is your oshi a Steak, a PB&J sandwich, or pagpag?

American pie

New Years is in about an hour and a half for me (It wasn't 12 hours ago I am not SEA)

So you are a flip working the cartel fields in Mexica.

Happy new year fellow autists, let’s hope your oshi doesn’t graduate in 2025!

Graduation isn't so scary if the oshis reincarnate afterward. It's scarier when they're gone forever

Happy New Year everyone!
Starting off with the final part of Miko and Subaru's Chained Together playthrough.


Kanade commits identity theft on Sora to get a easier time in slither.io.


Suisei showed up to Aki, Calli, Lamy, Lui, Raden and Ririka being drunk to take some food and to watch Ririka, Raden, and Calli perform.


Holoro, the name for hololive ID Gen 2, was supposed to just be a temporary name.

Make sure to talk a lot today, so we can have the new thread start on January 1, 2025.

Depends on which part of holo grew too fast.
But with the graduations I could see (hope) layoffs of the more incompetent managers

The "actively hiring" part at least seems like they try to shift positions to be better suited.

I'm convinced Brave Group isn't going to be a success story. Their business model is WeWork levels of desperate.

I'm excited for this new year, it's going to go great. This will be a great year for NijisanjiEN and there will be no more departures or embarrassing terminations or yabs.

I'm convinced Brave Group isn't going to be a success story. Their business model is WeWork levels of desperate.

Unless the CEO is wasting away company money buying mansions, sport cars and taking private jets like the WeWork CEO did. I can see Brave lasting at least another 5 years with their current stash of money. They raised $88 million in funding and has ties/investors being the biggest corporations in Japan. Even if Brave CEO are absolute imbecils these giant corpo will try their best to salvage them.
Similar to how Softbank tried to rescue WeWork and kept it floating for years.
They also announced a strategic partnership with Sanrio on september 2024

I'm aware of companies who paid upwards of 20k for a single model for a single talent. Then a similar amount for a rig. Promotional animations are also ridiculously, absurdly expensive. A major complaint a lot of people have in the industry right now is that the costs of art and rigging for competitive models is going through the roof; companies are fighting over famous artists and getting into bidding wars. It's a GREAT time to be a rigger, but a terrible time to be a company budgeteer. Obviously none of that counts as mansions, jets or sportscars, but my point is that Brave is easily spending tens of millions between all their acquisitions, new generations, projects and other expenditures. Their talent numbers just don't add up at all, either. Back in September there was speculation here of them botting their latest v4mirai generation, and I'll just say that TVA aren't the only ones who've noticed. It stinks of a desperate catch-up-by-spending-money strategy, establishing market dominance by buying out as much competition as possible. I really don't like the implications.

Let's just say they spent 11 millions and made back 1 millions this year
88 million / 10 = 8.8 years of doing the exact same thing, provided they don't slow down or accelerate spending at all is what I'm saying. It could potentially go on for years with the money currently on hand.
And honestly they have slowed down alot, they still debut vtubers but they haven't had a major acquisition after Himehina & VSPO.
Idol getting bought might be a big news in here, but in reality they are tiny as fuck, even more so if you excluded Rin who didn't sign with brave.
