TVA Awards 2023
Ladies and gentlemen! Homelanders and 2 views! The time has come for the 2nd annual TVA Awards! 2023 was an incredibly eventful year: from the Hogwarts drama and mass graduations of spring to the debuts, anniversaries, and microcorp meltdowns of autumn. One could argue that this year made the industry look like a revolving door of the same 100 or so talents being reincarnated into different companies as different characters, but we still got to see plenty of new faces, and it is comforting to know that if your oshi graduates there is a pretty good chance you’ll see them again under a new name. Most importantly this was the year that TVA really began to develop its own culture, independent of but still very much inspired by the homeland, with our own sagas separate from their goings on. We have become a source of information for investigations into talent drama and corporate corruption and even have our own vtubers who lurk and post here. It’s only a matter of time before we are overrun with tourists asking who Jim and Josh are and why we always post about a startup company like Phase Connect and not a major corpo like Nijisanji. But that dreaded day is still years down the line (if we even survive for that long). For now, let’s reminisce on the events of the past year, whether they were good, bad, or absolutely mad!
Special thanks to @Azehara , @Empty_Inbox , @Kourai , @Reticule , @Scoots , @Ｍｕｒｒａｙしないで , and @The Proctor for all of their help in deciding the categories and candidates as well as setting up the poll. Without them none of this would have been possible.
