But I'm bored. They're the India branch of Nijisanji, none of them actually wanted to continue streaming and they had terrible popularity in India with Noor being the only one semi-successful. Their switch to the EN side was a last ditch attempt to save them which failed and they all decided to quit, except (at least known) for Noor which became the EN manager. Noor originally was meant to be the India manager but because of lack of interest she got drafted as a liver instead.

Some of Noor's EN streams were actually pretty fun and I recommend going back to watch them but she seems happier where she is now.

>>11372881
Noor’s design was wasted on a fucking streetshitter, what a shame.
Looks more like a latina.

>>11373171
Noor did not become the EN manager she is behind the scenes for EN auditions and hasn't spoken to the girls since.
Noor also signed up for the managerial position for the IN branch but since no one fucking signed up, she had to stream.

>>11373681
>they didn't give the actual latina an indigenous outfit
I'm fucking livid

>>11372881
to give you an idea, Vihaan rarely had more than 20 viewers a stream. Anycolor made a poor decision picking to launch a branch in India purely because of its total population instead of doing actual research to see where it would be successful.

I feel the worst for Aadya. Felt like she was genuinely trying. Noor absolutely had the best design, but her method was like a stoner just aimlessly drifting along with they way she streamed. Vihaan was just the typical male debuff, but also was trying. Full fault is on anycolor though with how they handled, or lack thereof handled the group at all.

>>11375441
How do you help someone incline in a climate where no one gives a flying fuck about vtubers?

>>11375503
give them decent equipment for once. aadya and vihaan had absolute garbage mics.

>>11375702
No one in Nijisanji gets special equipment. All they get is the Live2D and an iPhone to record their face. Why should IN get special treatment, there's JPs still streaming from earbud mics

Well, they were rebranded to EN when it was too late to save them. They also didn't earn enough money which I find hard to believe since there are tons of livers that aren't that different from indies in terms of views but they certainly have to give some sort of compensation to the company, meager as that may be.

>>11375702
Maybe they could have been saved but they were fighting an uphill battle. Aadya and Vihaan's character designs where a HUGE debuff. Tack on the India debuff and the male debuff for Vihaan and they were screwed. I didn't watch any of the Indian nijis much but it also seemed like Noor was the only one that tried networking. I could be wrong but I also assume it's hard to network when your numbers are that small. Aadya could have worked out because from what I saw she was getting around just a little less than Derem numbers, but Vihaan was truly a 2 view literal who. I like the streams I saw of Aadya and Vihaan so it's a shame things didn't work out. Also completely fucked that they got rebranded as NijiEN with no advertising then got kicked back to being IN before just getting completely nuked to make room for the NO MALES division.

>>11372881
better than the new wave

>>11372881
SIR DO NOT DISBAND OUR GROUP

>>11376115
desu the indian accent was a bigger debuff than anything, that accent has been replicated to hell and back that I can't stand it being spoken

Anyone actually watching along with Nina?

The whole IN branch was a massive marketing failure. Comparing them to the EN branch is a great showcase of what not to do. For EN they took over the Niji reddit, bought some Youtube ads, hyped it up on twitter, had a special debut event with some existing talents introducing them all, they even made a them song. For IN they tweeted on some account that nobody read and then just threw them into the wild. I think. I don't even know. The only one who got a notable amount of subs is Noor because she speaks Japanese and collabed with a JP branch streamer which let some people be aware of her existence.

The other big issue is that they called it the "India" branch. The average person is gonna see the name and go "oh I don't speak whatever language they speak in India (I don't even know)" and then move on without ever checking out a single video.

>>11372881
Any Color fucked IN so hard. I watched all their debuts and occationally Noor and Aadya streams. All 3 were decent streamer who seemed like they put a lot of work into streaming. When the IN market wasn't there, they started talking primarily in English to try to get some of the EN market that existed for ID. Any Color saw this and ham-fisted them into forming NijiEN, even though all of them were clearly Indian. They then proceeded to not give them any marketing to the western audience and then expected them to float on their own, cause "they are EN, they are bound to succeed". After a while of them not succeeding they switched back to NijiIN only to, again, speak English 95% of the time because of the little audience they did have. After a while, Any Color determined the project a failure and cut all 3 of them. I hope they are doing well, cause they did everything they could, but got fucked by the circumstances.

>>11376115
>NO MALES division.
Funny to think that Anycolor saw adding males in the branch as one of the mistakes they did with it and proceded to not add a single male for three waves in a row and seemingly didn't plan on adding some until they saw the outcry of a portion of the fanbase and hurried to throw together an audition announcement for a male only wave, separated from the females and left dead last.
Pretty funny when you think about it.

>>11373742
i would assume they'd at least have a few out of the billion

>>11374962
Damn, I feel bad for them. Wonder why they didn't quit sooner if they were getting such low numbers

>>11385205
Indian Youtube culture is heavily rooted in 3D, there are weebs but very very few will make the change to a live2D.

>>11385323
I mean there's this pajeet who loves Nene so much that he'd at least made 3+ akasupas per stream.

>>11385882
He is 1 in a billion

Took you that long to notice?

what happen to them?

>>11387148
mito took them out back and shot them through the head

>>11385205
My understanding is that there is next to no anime or general weeb culture in India. It's all Disney and shit.

>>11373681
For real, such a great design wasted. It was one of my absolute favorites. It marked so many checkboxes for me

>>11399499
fuck off, noor was great.

>>11373171
It's kind of a shame because they all seemed like pretty cool people, I'm sure if they stuck around long enough for the actual Niji EN to come out they might've been able to get a boost from them enough to at least reach Niji KR level

>>11399585
Never said they were bad. Just a wasted design since their branch got the axe

if their stream is about engineering or phone review maybe some pajeet will watch & not disbanded.

>>11385323
>>11385882

What about Indians living overseas like in the US or UK? Too much of a niche audience?

>>11399585
"Great" is a bit much anon.
>>11399740
NijiKR has Bora.

>>11372881
>Why are they not streaming anymore?
Because they're already did their job. They were before HoloEn, so that means Holo copied from Niji.

>>11372881
I miss them so much. They were so much better than the current NijiEN. They need to bring back the original NijiEN so I can enjoy Nijisanji again. EN started on such a high note and then they ditched it for the garbage we have today.

>>11403365
Did NijiIN turning into NijiEN happen before or after Myth? It was only last year but it all feels so long ago.

>>11403247
Aside from being niche, they would have different streaming prime times.

>>11403458
Yes, their first "NijiEn" was before HoloEn debut.

>>11403494
What the fuck were they thinking with that move. I remember so many on /jp/ had the same sentiment. What a retarded move. Good thing it happened in 2020, most people won't remember shit from that time now.

>>11403522
>What the fuck were they thinking with that move.
That's a question to NijiIn management. During that time, they were responsible not only for IN branch, but also for the whole Niji West. That's why there were allowed to rebrand their branch into "NijiEn". After that failed and after multiple other fails, they were axed.

>>11403458
It was a while after En was announced but before the debut.

>>11403679
>they were responsible not only for IN branch, but also for the whole Niji West
Source on that?

>>11373171
There was an Indian branch? They didn't promote it anywhere how could anyone know about them

>>11404381
There really wasn't any promotion for them at all. Means you'd have to go out of your way to stumble over their names to find them.

>>11405943
They were doomed from the beginning people are just discovering anime and manga here, they were 10 years too early

>>11406580
Pajeets are just like spics, the only anime they know there are only dragon ball and probably naruto.

>>11373171
>Noor originally was meant to be the India manager but because of lack of interest she got drafted as a liver instead
You would think having to make the manager of the branch become one of the livers because there was just that little interest from Indians to join Nijisanji to have been a pretty good fucking sign of how the project was doomed from the start

>>11374962
Which was a shame, because outside of performance issues from living on fucking India, Vihaan had some pretty decent humor, he was actually mostly a shitposter or seemed to enjoy that type of humor, he fucking snuck a Jab at SAO on his presentation video if i remember correctly.

>>11405943
Fuck me that's sad

>>11407106
>more than 100k
She's at 60.5k post-graduation.

>>11403312
>Bora
she basically just become nijiJP at this point

>>11407529
Still waiting for a Bora-Senchou pirate collab so Senchou can tell Bora how much she likes K-pop.

>>11406955
Makes you wonder why they pushed anyways with this, and the fact that they wasn't the first to do this makes me think that J-culture corps has an unhealthy addiction with India

>>11407649
Why not Hada then? Pirate pirate collab!

>>11373171
There's so much hearsay in this post.
They didn't want to stream? Says who? Noor is a manager? What makes you think so?

Really the only thing that makes me think Noor might still be employed by Enikara is that one cameo she did in iinchou's channel playing chinese whispers in English after the branch was suspended.

Noor is the reason I have an oshi.

>>11403428
Most obvious false flag I've ever seen...

>>11413927
Because Bora can speak Japanese and Hada can't.

>>11413927
Whoops. I mixed up the KRs. I meant Hada, the pirate kankokujin.

>>11414057
Finana has also talked about getting auditioned by Noor after the branch was closed.

Also while they might have wanted to continue streaming, their actual streaming time was pretty abysmal, they all averaged like 2 streams a week and that was a detriment to their growth. That's the reason they now have the rule for EN of delivering at least 3 streams a week.

>>11414947
>That's the reason they now have the rule for EN of delivering at least 3 streams a week.
Do we know if it's an actual rule and not just a strong recommendation? Apparently at least JP has had these strong recommendations/audition requirements to provide content x amount of times a week since the beginning, I believe I heard Mito talk about it once.

>>11416262
It was an actual rule in the application forms.

noor..

>>11416341
I see. We don't know how it's enforced if at all, right? Since all ENs stream well over the guideline.

>>11375441
>I feel the worst for Aadya.
The worst part is that the experience overall caused her to give up on streaming. She really was earnestly trying - and was genuinely good at gaming.

Her birthday is in a couple of weeks!

>>11406955
To be fair there's been other relatively successful instances of it (coco being a big one, Tsunderia also having decent success with their 2 managers being half their streamers as well)

In the IN case though, yeah it was a big indicator.

>>11411180
Because unlike other companies, anycolor doesn't bullshit about their business model.
relatively speaking vtubing is dirt cheat. you buy someone an iphone, spend 2k on their model, and set them out on the world.

Its not free, and there's always the potential for yabs. But for something like nijisanji its not a big deal unless someone starts leaking shit. dropping 10k for a new branch that has the potential to be the next big thing in india is a relatively cheap investment for a potentially massive payoff. it didn't payoff so they basically just lost some of mito's pocket change and moved on to the EN branch which is at least self-sustained.

POMU'S A HAG

Why does Rosemi schedule a members only fighting game stream for a weekday?
Does she not think that people who pay money to member her might have jobs?

>>11373171
>for Noor which became the EN manager
No wonder more and more of "EN" are ESLs with a fifth of the streams being chinc speak.

>millie using a cake pop maker for takoyaki
the kayfabe dedication is unreal

where is shannon from?

Any nijiEN talked about whether they'll stream SMTV when it comes out?

I know Atlus permissions are traditionally considered tricky but I saw that one dude streaming tokyo mirage sessions the other day so it can't be considered hopeless.. (Topless?)

But it does indicate that their surveyors are bullshit, just look at their JP livers stats are they'll see the potential markets, also they can look at AKB numerous failed idol attempts to see how bullcrap India is for JP culture, Niji could do fortunes in other markets yet they picked India, what do they see that we don't?

>>11372881
Technically speaking they had the first NijiEN male.
