General V-Tuber thread

Yeah, that makes sense.

Though though arguably makes it even worse - regional management not consulting the main branch before pulling such a stunt is bad enough, the main branch looking over it and going "Looks fine to me" is worse.

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.

Or that they can't as it would make them look bad and be in the wrong which is something they would rather avoid. That and this entire debacle shows that they are incompetent enough to do this when you question everything about this shitshow.

While everyone's rummaging through rrats on whether Elira = management or whatnot (frankly I don't care, she "volunteered" and thus must bear responsibility for the fallout), there's an impending storm with NEXAS, a new VTuber company that's set to debut 27 VTubers over 3 days on Kick. Not only is that way too many debuts in a short time, but Kick is a far less known streaming platform than either YouTube or Twitch, and you have to download an intrusive app to even watch those debuts. Then you have the so-called NEXAS CEO who goes around being a total PR failure. It's like they took a look at Nijisanji and decided to accelerate exaggerate the black company's shotgun approach and crappy PR.

This looks to be dead-on-arrival.

Ugh Kick. If you ever need a cesspool so bad that you have to do the level of shit that Johnny Somali did to get banned.

Burning love!

I guess we are going to get a kick out of this.

Its worse. They're debuting on a wholly new streaming platform designed for mobile streaming.

This is Quibi levels of "what were they thinking" again.

Is Nijisanji (especially after the Selen Tatsuki fiascos) still on their downwards spiral? It's a Fanwork-Only Fans work by this point.

I'll say yes as last week people were clowning on the AR live do to how bad it was.

Views are still down by a good chunk, and Virtual Rhapsody SG is apparently not sold out, both the event itself and the meet and greets after.

Rosemi and Maria have their reps good and even then, they got a view hit. my goblin girls need love. Scarle seems to have a better standing than ever, but I think people will forget her little kurosanji heart comment incident later on.

Do you think any expo in the Western hemisphere would let Nijien as guests anymore?

Today's Fuwamoco Morning, with guest co-host Koyori!

But Mococo's voice was in really bad shape for this one...

The Living Guildpact rules that coffee is an acceptable substitution for rest as specified in subsection … whatever.

Yup, which is why they’re delaying the Minecraft stream, as well as the Rock and Rawr Party they’d already delayed after Mogojan’s migraine last week.

Poor Mocochan, these past few weekends just haven’t been kind to her.

Hitokiri in the streets, daishouri in the sheets.

We'll have to see, but this whole drama doesn't seem to have affected the scheduling for most cons. So far, only Offkai really rejected Nijisanji. Anime Impulse still has Luxiem/Noctyx/Krisis as guests for the Seattle event on May. I'll only know myself if my local con, Otakuthon, does not feature NijiEN when they complete the guest list by next month. For the record, Otakuthon's first in-person con since the COVID-19 pandemic was in 2022 and did feature NijiEN (Elira, Rosemi, Nina, Millie and Enna), as did 2023's edition (Alban and Uki, with Sister Claire and Sara Hoshikawa as late additions).

Nerissa is doing an endurance stream and the first thing I come into is her talking about plucking vs waxing.

I love my Midwestern Soup Demon.

Help me. I can't get it out of my head.

Oh, the thing about Nexas is that it's intentionally set up to be a competition between the talents, with open favoritism for those who do well. It is going to be hell

I've seen people compare the Nexas thing to a battle royale, and from what others have said, it sure feels that way, with the way they have people streaming in the same slot and the sheer number of them. Feels weird and cutthroat and against what VTubers are all about. Top it all off with that they have to stream on that weird, restrictive app and it seems like this already started subterranean and is only going to go deeper.

This is more of the competition I'm into. Amiya Aranha played some Dreamcast fighting games :p

That stream was fun to watch. Tech Romancer was a fun-looking concept. And the self Ring Out by the Soulcalibur Final Boss was hilarious!

Also, from Nerissa's stream; Biboo knows about the Momseki art and she is not pleased...

Nerissa dropped an original MV

And here's a clip of Boboo's reaction that I mentioned in my last post.

Did Pekomama reawaken the artists and cause a new wave of Holomom art?

Help me. I can't get it out of my head.

Nijisanji's VR Rhapsody happened today in Singapore and on top of glaring technical issues (several talents could barely be heard, Millie was introduced as MILLLE) the whole thing was a pre-recorded video playing before lots of empty seats - reportedly there were only about 40 people in the audience at one point.

And in addition to this, Niji Fes 2024 has been cancelled, and the video they released to promote 2025 notably is mostly JP, and EN only appeared for a few seconds near the end—and even then only showed Rosemi and Marie

Yep, EN is gonna get folded next year, mark my words.

The continuation of Hakka's and Shinri's adventures in Indonesia. They try out some local snacks :o

Which vtuber has the most disliked video? I’d say the black vidoe is but its a long history

One thing that was overlooked in this thread these past days is Vox's latest outfit reveal. Dear God, it's ugly! It's definitely LAM's worst design, no offence to the artist's incredible work history. It's not just the togglable facial hair that seems to be painted on, it's the confusing design choice; it's supposed to be a fanservice-y samurai outfit, yet it looks more like what you'd use for an ashigaru, a lowly foot soldier. Should've really just pandered to China and donned some baller dynasty replica armour.

All in all, this seems to have tanked his popularity even further. There's a noticeable dip on his bilibili audience and YT CCV after that outfit reveal.

x5 Really the fact that they were held on the same day allowed people to easily compare Hololive's Dreamhack to Nijisanji's VR Rhapsody and the two don't even try to measure up.

Hololive not only had a better performance all around, it was actually cheaper than Nijisanji's.

It's hard to believe that Nijisanji was supposed to be the bigger company with how amateur their performance was.

At this point their EN is done for and everyone knows it.

It's no surprise that his Non-Japanese Asian fans would be displeased with his design of going with a Japanese military looking outfit. I'm not usually one to bring up cultural sensibilities, but common sense should suggest that China and even other parts of Asia won't be happy if you dress up as one of their historic oppressors.
