"End of an Era"

She is going to stream the same amount, the Era already ended

 

[Negzana]

I know I tend to sound like I dislike Gura, but I really don't. In fact she's one of the most important vtubers for me. I got into vtubing for the same reasons some others mentioned. When 2020 came around, nothing felt sacred. All media was turned into political weapons. There was no escape and I thought Hololive would be like that too with the Taiwan drama. Once the dust settled there I decided to stick around and one of the streamers who kept me hooked was Gura. I knew about Watame before that, but she was the first of HoloEN I watched.

Aside for maybe Coco, Haachama, and Watame, she's the one I watched the most in the earlier years. I loved her outlast streams. Across 2021 and 2022 there were so many streams I watched of her, and maybe Fauna and Mumei came close but she really was my favorite EN. She was my go to for indie horror games. I loved her Stanley Parable streams. Her room review with Mumei was hilarious. She helped my Kaela actually start growing as a vtuber and honestly it was her collabs with Kaela in Minecraft that made me decide to oshi Kaela in the first place. I also remembered watching a mirror of Holofes 2022 and watching her performance of Reflect, and that was still one of the most nostalgic Hololive moments for me. I remember in 2021 when I (Who had avoided KF and /vt/ at the time) learned that Gura was Senzawa, I found that hilarious. There was even more I can't even remember off the top of my head. I guess around August after Sana graduated, that's when I slowed down watching her. The last notable stream of her I watched was her Minecraft stream with Okayu.

This announcement is sad, but not because Gura is not going to stream anymore (like she ever streams?), but because it feels like the final confirmation that an era is long dead. 2020-2021 were dark times for me, things got better in 2022 but before it vtubers like Gura really felt like literally the only light in the hellstorm that was lockdown period. When Ame, then Fauna graduated, it felt like the last vestiges of nostalgia I had for that era was dying out. When Holofes 6 came and Gura performed Dango Daikozoku, I remembered I once actually was a fan of Gura years back. Her performance was probably my favorite part for this Holofes. There was something that just emotionally hit me harder than any other song. Honestly it felt ominous to me, but I just assumed she would never leave, this song was just coincidentally very sad right after all her closest holomems left. Then Mumei announced her graduation, and I just felt the clock was ticking for Gura. I just didn't think it would be so quick.

With the announcement having happened, I really just feel tired. Gura has been a nonfactor for years, but on a symbolic level it now feels like the stability I loved with Hololive up to 2024 is finally gone for good. There were graduations and even terminations within that timeframe, but it didn't just feel like this rapid shutdown of that era. Within a single week two of some of the most important vtubers in my discovery and early years of the medium will be gone. I can and will still watch HoloJP; Haachama and Watame helpe me through dark times in 2021 especially, but everyone I watched in HoloEN is gone now. There is still Advent and Justice, they're new blood who are leaner and fresher and I do love Biboo, but it's just not the same as Myth and Council. I think that's it for me for HoloEN. It was a good amount of years, but I have to accept some things will end eventually.

I remember loving your voice when you debuted. Please take care.

Well, with the BaeRyS shill stream postponed (that would have been super awkward to force them to do right now), I guess I'll watch Axel play Chrono Trigger?

Gura graduating from Holo and for her to never be heard from again is this era's version of Tom selling MySpace and fucking off to nowhere.

Well said. Just because we're getting the same amount of Gura streams per month as we do normally doesn't mean Gura being gone doesn't feel bad. It was said earlier in the thread, just because you don't visit your grandma anymore doesn't mean that things aren't going to feel different once she passes.

 

[Phantasm]

The best part is that there is no "To be continued" like with Ame or Fauna. She's gone, she's gone for good. You might be lucky to see like 2 streams after she graduates and then she'll remember she's lazy and doesn't stream ever again.

DEAD AND BURIED, CHUMBUDS

Minimoo's are relatively self contained. Chumbuds were fucking termites infesting everything.

I will not try to cope but it is quite interesting how people are not exactly mourning gura, but the memory of gura from 4 years ago, you could say it's people mourning the boom era even though it's been over since like 2022. Vtubing has changed and will continue to change, you are helpless to stop that, we will NEVER get those early years back.

Enjoy this industry while it lasts because it's never getting better than it already is.

I'm mourning Myth. Even though I think Gura was genuinely sad to graduate like this and leave I think she just didn't care enough.

I feel worse for Kiara and the others.

Being fair the end of the boom era coincided with Gura becoming a ghost with her streams, so mourning Gura and the era are hand in hand for the most part.

I feel like how distant she's been over the last couple of years has just made people go through the stages of grief out of order.
