Looking at the marketing they did for the group, I think they’ll all be JP Natives. And I mean, that’s fine, a “mixed” gen would feel weird imo.
Honestly at the moment I feel like we have enough members so I wouldn’t mind not getting an EN gen for a while, but yeah it would feel pretty bad if after all the merger talk we get like, two new full-JP gens in a row.
Having the same issues, even trying to load posts or feeds usually takes multiple tries.
I still need to play Dread but glad one of my favorite series keeps getting the love it deserves.
I think that part meant “they will still have their own projects, this if for other future projects in addition to those”.
At least, I hope that’s what she meant, without a timestamp I can’t even try to verify
Yeah, the ID members especially are pretty angry about this.
From what they said, the “repurposing” of the “former” branch channels will bring us more english/english-subbed content from non-EN members, but I don’t know if it’ll offset the potential downsides for the talents.
I hope that the merger will help the EN and ID branches stop being treated as second-class citizens inside Cover.
Calli’s thoughts on the merger seem almost threatening about this (and I mean, for good reason lmao)
Honestly I feared worse news, the merging is certainly a big event but not bad; it will help ‘discover’ new talents outside of ones’ region (but will be kinda problematic for me who more or less followed all of EN).
Eh, reaction among non-JP talents hasn’t been great, especially ID. Of course, they don’t know either what it fully entails, but it’s not looking good so far. Hopefully it’s just them being over-cautious.
Lastly, I’m particularly interested in the upcoming new app, could it be a way of sidestepping YT and its ever-worsening platform? The recent hits to channels and clippers makes me more and more fed up with it.
From what I understood, I’m pretty sure it’s a new app to stream, not to watch streams. So unfortunately we’re still stuck with YouTube.
…lmao I completely forgot she had one. Definitely the Pekora/Ina effect, her personality makes you bypass anything lewd about her outfit lol
That… would sound in character for VShojo, but tbh Henya’s character isn’t really that “goonable”, even for short/loli vtuber standards (?)
Could go either way, even being episodic. I doubt they’ll make something too serious/different from usual, but I definitely wouldn’t mind (for example the HoloERROR series was pretty good, imo)
huh, i had the impression that they commissioned stuff individually.
Pretty sure they sort of do in relation to the look/theme of the outfit, but it’s still Cover that decides when and who gets new outfits. Even “odd” ones like Furball Korone are commissioned autonomously, and as a result they don’t have 100% freedom in when they can use it (from what I’ve understood).
I think this is more a matter of rigging and/or character design, kinda like what Fubuki did a while ago (or, well, what they did to Sora now), and that side was almost always Cover’s decisions (2.0/3.0 updates, for example)
also, hopefully we don’t get a repeat of the vsj model guideline meetings…
Wait, what happened with models? I must’ve missed it between all the mess lol
Even considering how all over the place the character lores are, it’s gonna be hard to fit even just these 29 in one single narrative. An episodic series with most focusing on 3/4 talents at a time would probably make for a better experience.
