NEXAS: The Kick Sweatshop for Vtubers!

[Ｍｕｒｒａｙしないで]

Amrcha1r will be streaming on Nexas in about half an hour. I really like this guy's streams - he has a lot of the same opinions as me but he's significantly smarter and seems to have infinite time to do significant research into his topics. His streams typically last five hours or more so we'll have plenty of content.

Aside from all the past stuff we already knew, Armcha1r uncovered that the CEOs of Nexas and AniLive had a business link in the past (if I recall correctly, the AniLive guy had been an angel investor on one of the Nexas guy's projects or something like that - I can't recall the details and Armcha1r hasn't timestamped his video yet) and he speculated that AniLive was being run less as an agency interested in the well-being of talents and more as a way to get a bunch of streamers to stress test AniLive. That's probably not much a surprise to anyone here since I'm sure most of us suspected there was something fishy between the two companies but now we have at least a little bit more circumstantial evidence of that being the case.

My own translation of the title is "The story of how an English vtuber ('V-liver') agency failed in one year." There's no way my ass can translate the whole thing, though. However Armcha1r (presumably working from a machine translation since I'm pretty sure his nihongo is no more jyouzu than mine) posted a summary on Twitter:

ExpertArmcha1r 🕶️🪑 on X: "The CEO of NEXAS has just put out a post-mortem writeup describing the rationale with which he ran his now-closed agency. Here are some of the highlights: -He explicitly states that his goal with NEXAS was to "make cash", ex

ghostarchive.org

Summary of his summary: Harry doesn't seem to have known much about vtubing coming into this, much less the EN market thereof. He's now starting a company having something to do with Roblox of all fucking things.

 

[frz]

I swear there was someone here running defense for Harry saying he genuinely has good intentions
Who was that again. This sound like an average grifter, wasted money that didn't belong to him (Anilive's money), blamed everyone else but himself and then moved on to the next one.

Added summary that ExpertArmcha1r skipped over:
1. Harry was staff to a platform called 17Live, which also tried to expand outside of japan but failed spectacularly.
2. Japan & NA treats mental health differently , you can easily abuse Japanese "livers" and they will obey, meanwhile NA are more spoilt you cant push them over their limit.
3. AI opposition is strong in NA, westerners are weird. Why can't we exploit artists?????????
4. NA "livers" being capable of speaking to one another on discord gradually leads to coordinated strikes/ganging up on management with unreasonable demands like "please support us" "where is our pay" etc.. Eventually graduation happened. Harry wanted to kill the discord but his staff said no.
5. NijisanjiEN's "unfortunate circumstances" made people realize they don't have to stick to NDA so ex-"liver" can "falsely" criticize NEXAS.
6. "livers" demanded to stream on other platform like Twitch/Youtube (frz - I bet it was promised to them during initial contract negotiations)
Harry asked Anilive if it was possible, Anilive said fuck off and stopped funding Nexas, likely the real reason the company folded as Harry already wasted all the money anilive invested in in the span of 1 year.
17live talents actually successfully expanded to Tiktoklive (frz- as if there's any money on tiktok). Harry couldn't use his "past talent and experience" here due to stubborness of Anilive CEO.
7. Growing new "livers" is useless, should have copied Brave and VShojo by buying existing one. Even hololive is doing it with Flow Glow, buying ex-AKB48 and popular youtubers.
8. Hololive is big in Japan but the real success story is Ironmouse and Filian, hololive has nothing on them.
9. Merryweather sucked Harry's dick and Harry also sucked his.

4. NA "livers" being capable of speaking to one another on discord gradually leads to community strikes/ganging up on management.
Harry wanted to kill the discord but the mod/staff said no
5. NijisanjiEN's entire debacle makes people realize they don't have to stick to NDA so ex-talent can falsely criticize NEXAS.
6. "livers" demanded to stream on Twitch/Youtube (frz - I bet it was promised to them during contract negotiations)
Harry asked Anilive's CEO if it was possible, Anilive said fuck off. And this is the real reason the company graduated.
17live talents actually successfully transitioned to Tiktoklive (frz- as if there's any money on tiktok). Harry couldn't use his "past talent and experience" here due to stubborness of Anilive CEO, also "livers" are spoiled brat
7. Growing young "livers" is useless, should have copied Brave and VShojo by buying existing one.
8. Hololive is big in Japan but the real success story is Ironmouse and Filian, hololive has nothing on them.
9. Merryweather sucked Harry's dick and Harry also sucked his.

Imagine losing tons of money with creating a vtuber corpo that fails and you still don't learn anything about the industry.

it isn't his money. That's why he didn't care lolw.
AkioAir CEO actually invested his own money in it, that's why he raged so hard.
This one is just completely detached and highly delusional. But I guess that's what make a 'good' CEO.

I also remember seeing this, but I'm not seeing it in this thread. May have been in one of the generals, or maybe NijiL?

Man, reading back through this thread really shows off how much of Harry's spiel is bullshit. All of the "we're friendly towards the talents" crap he spewed at the beginning is 100% contradicted by his post-mortem. (btw @Tightpinch archive your shit, a screenshot would have served for most of this, no one is faking Nexas screenshots)


Also, something nobody has brought up yet is that the point of this entire blogpost is an attempt to solicit people to help him grow a new company in Roblox. Yes, this fag is literally trying to target children in Roblox for his next scam.

Also started in the Roblox business​

With a 21 -year -old young entrepreneur partner I met in Malaysia where I live, solutions in Roblox . I jointly develop
In Japan, the number of cases has gradually increased, but I think that doing something in the IP industry, Roblox is the quickest way to access the world.
A game platform where there are 380 million monthly users and GENZ/α, which produces trends, plays for 3 hours a day. Here, new games and IPs are already being born, but we will provide support to expand the IP.
The partner company is involved in TWICE and BLACKPINK's Roblox projects, and is seeing a successful fan community operation on Roblox. Not only music artists, but also many huge IPs, such as OnePiece and Attack on Titan, have recently begun to move, and it seems that there is a clearly different flow from the "Metters Market" several years ago.
We jointly develop solutions that are useful for domestic and overseas brand IPs using the knowledge and development resources of partner companies, and the network attracting customers from outside the platform that we can contribute.
If you are a little interested, please let me know!

If there is a strange person who read this article to the end
• I want to promote vtuber and anime -based systems for overseas
• I want to use IP with Roblox
• Interested in creative businesses that connect Japan and overseas
• Or I am interested in me and forcreators itself

I don't mind anything, so I'd be glad if you could contact us.
Although it is still lacking in ability, I will continue to move and look for the next opportunity!

You are a business man and are given an option;
Try and capture at least a quarter of that lightning in a bottle success that Cover/Hololive have.

VERSUS​

Copying what a girl in a literal bubble and another girl who does a flip and accidentally presses the nude toggle on her pirated model do.
