Just a guess, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these parts are primarily a mix between people who came in from Myth and have stuck with Holo (whether because they don't have time for more than one company, or are loyalists for whatever other reason), and people who came in from Pippa having a type of autism/shitposting that would be familiar to these parts, and who likely stick with Myth if they do watch anyone else. You can't really deny Niji absolutely shat the bed in regards of starting in the West, and the effects can be felt to this day. Who knows, if they started better, maybe there'd be people here forgetting some of Council is a thing. Either way, seeing more Niji discussion around would definitely be great; it isn't very motivating to have times where most of it is just about how people who don't watch it don't remember it.Didn't someone on poa.st put up a poll asking to vote on who your favorite company was? I think around 140+ people responded and it was literally dead even between Holo and PC with each one having over 40% while Niji only got 2% of the vote. I wonder what the deal is with the Niji representation being so much smaller than average in this corner of the web.
Based on the thumbnail and her speaking, probably not. On a serious note though, she's that JP solo debutant who blew up hard enough to beat Gura's record for fastest 1M subs, her mix of dedication to the "basement-dwelling hick trying to act like an ojou" character and short consistent streams appealing to both wagies and fans of older Vtubers like Kizuna Ai. She's also a bit of a shitposter, which appealed to fans of "the old" Niji crew, like Tsukino Mito or Fumino Tamaki.Oh, is this chick a new NijiEN talent? I like the look as long as she can pull off the ojou-sama shtick. EN scene is really lacking in that area.
Seriously though, If you want good Niji discussion, just bring good Niji discussion and if someone is a tard about it, ignore them. I get what you're saying about demotivation, but a bunch of discussion about thread meta usually just cranks those problems up.
@Depressed Nousagi Curious question by the way, why did you edit the numberfagging out of the "woah Vtuber go fast"-type thumbnails? Was it a personal choice, or was it just attracting the "haha my Vtuber's number bigger, your team are Untermensch" people too much?
Her dad stopped showing up because retards would never stop pestering her to have him back on. It does suck, because he was genuinely pretty entertaining. I do still watch her every once in a while, and she's pretty comfy. She's getting 3D along with Lazulight as part of Nijifes' free section, so you might wanna at least consider tuning into that if you liked Hana in the past. I remember Pomu also confirming her and others in Lazulight would also have those full-fledged 3D debuts around the time of Nijifes, so Hana getting that too doesn't seem impossible.To be fair, the only Niji I used to really follow was Hana Machia, and her communist dad, well I was there mostly for her dad, to be honest, but he stopped showing up for a while, and I sorta forgot about her, and now there's just too much shit to keep track of. I tried watching a few other talents, and I gave Scarle a try after the Illuna debuts, but they all really felt like they appealed to the audience that watches regular twitch live streamers, and that's just not me.
Most likely, but I don't know who'd go out of their way to look for it. I assume at best we're gonna get some people through word of mouth, who didn't want to register for the evil doxing website before.
