I was/am most looking forward to Bijou and the twins, but here are my thoughts/review on Day 1:
Bijou - Couldn't really ask for more, pretty much on point for what I was hoping. Smol and meme-y and a lot of fun. Not sure if she'll go full bratty/kusogaki, but there is potential, for good or ill. Even though in some ways (loli-ish, memes) she is similar, I don't think she is a Gura Killer, but feels like she could fill in the "gaps" especially during those long chumbud droughts we've been having. Will definitely be keeping up with her to see where she goes.
Shiori - She took me by surprise. Like others I expected maybe a deep voice dommy-mommy and that meant zero interest from me. Being a normal voice, cute, nerdy, book-ish goth girl is much more interesting and up my alley. (Fauna and maybe Mumei too need goth outfits stat so they can collab with her.) Since I had no expectations, the voice didn't bother me either. I'll be at least checking in on her and seeing where she goes, which wasn't something I was expecting to say.
Someone mentioned Shiori (based on her PL/RL) was Canadian? That seems odd though if she is using Central Time/CDT, as the only even semi-big town in CA in the Central time zone is Winnipeg. I'd have expected west coast (like Ina and Kronii) or Toronto if she was in CA, otherwise somewhere in the US where there are actual real cities in the Central time zone.
Upcoming:
Nerissa - Not much interest and now I'm thinking she might be the deep voice mommy one in the gen (I'd imagine they'll have at least one), which lowers it even more. Based on rrats, is her expected VA supposed to be like that?
FuwaMoco Twins - If these are the GGN twins, which we are 99% sure at this point, I probably won't watch them unless they really were using a pitched voice or something in their PL. They were fun, but I just couldn't get used to the accent/lisp when I tried to watch them before. But I am interested in at least how they are going to run their channel. While I know them and a few others have done the shared channel thing, this is the first I think for a big corpo? Who knows, maybe with them being in holo now I'll watch the more and get used to the voices enough to tune in from time-to-time at least.
It's nice to have a friend who is actually happy and proud of you when you hit the big time instead of seething with jealousy.
Context: Silvi is a friend of Waabyu (aka Bijou), and was also the reason people were able to pinpoint Bijou's PL before her debut since she RTed her and no one else.
Wow, a nice wholesome reaction from another cute vtuber/friend! Gave her a follow, even though I don't use twitch, but got to at least support good interactions when we can.
I don't think I really want a menhera in HoloEN, it's basically just ticking time bomb waiting to yab and it attracts the worst fucking schizos who like that shit, nah leave menheras to small corpos who can afford to have a meltdown.
The problem with menhara is the real possibility they rope someone in with them and/or take someone down with them when they go. I'm surprised and glad that they were able to cut Rushia away as cleanly as they were. I feel it could have been a lot worse.
Real gays don't support sexual harassment in the workplace.
