Kronii had potential and talent but chose to piss it all away by being lazy whore who can barely hide how much she hates streaming.

Sana refuses to draw because that was part of her nepotism hire deal with Ina

Mumei is literally completely worthless

Bae is ok apart from talking too much JP, albeit talentless. Her karaoke is good though

Fauna's ASMR sucks shit but she's actually pretty good otherwise. Surprisingly good zatsus. I feel like she could have been a powerful GFEtuber if her ASMR was actually good.

All the en are falling. It's simple, they attracted a lot of people who didn't know about vtuber in the first place. After that these new viewers were begining to just leave or to be attracted by the jp side that is a lot better: because there is no passion in the en girls, only in kiara, but she has a power to piss off everyone in collabs.

Kronii is not lazy at all, she suffers from depression periods and also is really insecure about herself (that's why she pulls up that over confident mask).

I kinda feel sorry for Sana. She's probably the most energetic of Council and based on her post-break streaming hours she seems to genuinely enjoy what she does, to the point that I can kind of forgive the long break. Even during some moments of awkward collab downtime she's always trying to get the mood up. She probably doesn't mind lagging behind everyone since the paywalled art streams suggest she's not a numbersfag, but it's a shame people get filtered by her.

Kronii usually gets like 20,000 live views when she decides to stream, she just hates streaming. Mumei also gets a lot of views from the 'cute' bump.

Sana is consistent, she was low probably because Susan nuked her and people like to follow the leader in terms of subs instead of chancing their literally free time on something uncharted.

Baelz tries hard but ultimately she's not really stand out, but I think she's the closest thing to HoloKR along with Ina.

Skimmed the entire thread, these are the only ones I agree with. Everytime I look at Kronii's or Bae's stream, it's some indie shit I've never fucking heard of, which is fine in and of itself but not constantly. They also stream less on average than Myth overall, which is not surprising but disappointing since Myth was clearly looking to take a bit of a break/is facing burnout themselves.

I've unironically been thinking of the reason why Coco and the EOP fanbase she brought in bothers me so much and I realized it's because Coco, being the closest thing to a western e-whore, was basically EOPs taking joy in the destruction of a relatively benign japanese thing. You see this with /a/ as well where someone will argue there should be more actual sluts in anime, despite anime being an escape from the rampant slut bullshit everywhere else. These people don't actually like this hobby, but they see some people having fun and decide they want to lob a grenade through the window and watch it all burn down, purely because they can't stand their own face in the mirror and need everyone to suck as much as they do in order to feel good about themselves.

I've come to realise that the "Council - what went wrong?" thread is a source of comfort for many people. Here they can stay rooted in one point in time, never moving forward, wearing the timeloop like a warm blanket. It's familiar. That way you can hone your posts, and eventually perfect the same reply you've been giving for weeks on end.
This is not the definition of insanity. No one is repeating themselves hoping for a different result. No. You want the same result, you want to read the same words, without ever changing. Sana is black. Baelz is an Ollie clone. Kronii is lazy. Fauna's ASMR is a letdown. Council never streams, they always take breaks.
Familiar, comforting words. Endless validation. I wish everyone here the best ... may you find peace in your chosen resting place.

How did Hololive English go from being what looked like an unstoppable juggernaut to struggling to break 10k for most of their streams?
1. They took too long to release a second gen, five vtubers couldn't carry a gen for an entire year.
2. Dead hours. That gave fans time to look around at their competition.
3. Complacency, too much coasting on the brand. They let Irys model get a pass, Gura's rigging get a pass, awkward default poses for a lot of the marketing and advertising get a pass. And many minor things, that alone don't mean much but slowly, bit by bit degrades EN's branding.
4. Lack of competitiveness and enthusiasm: Gura herself says she doesn't want to be the number one Holo. A lack of content when there a long breaks, it seems like Ame and Bae are the only ones that realize that they can upload shorts and prerecorded videos. Im not saying o work harder but a a certain level of enthusiasm is needed to even consider working smarter and looking for workarounds.
5. Everyone is not on the same page.
Chuuni-fag management should hire chuuni talent, and anti-chuuni management should just so go normal streamers. Why isn't Omega hiring more writers/storytellers, homebrew GM/DMs, hire more thespians, talent who are genuinely into theater and that stuff?
Constant collab banning Kiara and Mori. If collabs are a problem, don't hire talent that would rather want outside collabs, and conversely, don't hire a bunch of wallflowers and think expect collabs like Umisea to turn out to be any good. Don't hire anti-idols in Japanese company.

I had thought I'd heard of them doing something like this in the past, though that may have just been an idle rumor. I imagine it's a very risky move though, as if youtube decided it was a risk, they'd just call in some favors and start to unfairly crack down on them both on youtube and other places. Remember Google owns youtube and runs it at a deficit, meaning they value it enough to pay to keep it afloat despite the costs. Cover would get eaten alive by the tech monopolies the moment they stepped out of line. Hell, I think that platform Trump is making said it'd have video game streaming, I think he's the only one who could pull it off just because of how ridiculous that sounds.

Usually every gen in Hololive has one or two stars (not counting ID or homos):
Gen 0: Sora/Miko/Suisei
Gen 1: Fubuki/Haachama
Gen 2: Aqua/Subaru
Gamers: Korone
Gen 3: Pretty much all of them either in terms of view or SC, truly miracle gen
Gen 4: Used to be Coco, but Kanata is on the incline
Gen 5: No true standout but overall solid holo with strong work ethics. Nene is inclining and Lamy is a SC monster
EN 1: Mori/Gura

In contrast, Council doesn't really have anyone that screams star potential. Kronii was it but she hates streaming and suffers from depression. Mumei is too inconsistent. Bae tries but she's not that talented in any facet. Fauna/Sana are okay but they don't really standout. It's already been 3 months and I think what we're seeing right now is Council's ceiling, which is okay at best.

Kiara (and to a lesser extent Ina) were lagging behind Myth for months. It took a long time until she started catching up. Most of Council are in the same position she was in. Comparatively, Gura was a lightning in a bottle who appealed to the same crowd as the petite JB chuubas, Mori had her music, and Ame was just a chaotic wild card.

Sana: Shes a professional artist so she doesnt want that to be what her vtubber personality is about, shes actually decent at games and enjoys playing many things thoroughly
Mumei: Dumb cute but is super afraid of her sudden popularity
Fauna: Nice voice that cant sing at all, im not into ASMR but her games streams are fun to watch since shes not retarded at them
Bae: Too stable to be compared to the crazy that is ollie, shes more of a dork than anything else and is actually quite outgoing when it comes to interacting with her audience and her coworkers

Bae has been on a limiter the past month so I wont judge her hours. Given the variety in her content and how many projects she has in the pipeline, December will be an interesting month for her since that is when she can fully commit to streaming.
Sana seems to be doing well after the break. She has done the Kiara and has secured herself a good amount of donors. If she enters the Hololive pokemon tournament and do well then she will get a decent boost from that.
Fauna is the most stable. Her gaming content is the best in Council in my opinion. Don't care about ASMR but its nice for someone to fill in that niche.
Mumei has been doing great in November. She's a lot more confidence now compared to her debut month. Too bad December will slow her down, but she can hold her numbers with karaoke streams.
Kronii is the big question mark. Had a massive start but has done everything to debuff herself. Thankfully its easier to have a strong start and get your numbers back than the other way around. Just depends on the type of games she streams this month and the frequency.

Well lets step back and look at the rankings in terms of subs:

Kronii leads the pack with Mumei following 100k behind her.
After that you got Bae and Fauna trailing behind Mumei by a sizeable but not quite as big gap.
Then you got Sana who has less than half of Kroniis subs almost half Mumeis subs.

So Kronii and Mumei are definitely the winners of Council.
But why?
Well with Kronii I'd say her voice and generally being chill is a big factor. She's lacking that manic energy that most vtubers try to capture which definitely sets her apart from the crowd and attracts a following.
Helps that her fuckups and suffering are generally amusing.

Then you got Mumei.
Mumei is great. She's got that same chill factor as Kronii, is generally endearing but has more energy than Kronii that mainly manifests when she gets annoyed with something or unzips her serial killer/war criminal streak.

The important thing is these two both provide something thats fairly rare in streaming and among vtubers. Relaxed and chill personas.
You got one like that in Myth in the form of Ina but her voice can be a turnoff for some.

Aside from the crusades and *maybe* the ancient Egyptians due to the ambiguity about their ethnicity, there's a lot of the antique and medieval periods that hasn't really been politicised except in the narrow sense of schizos like those you mention (black Vikings and blue-eyed Israelites, which no one takes seriously and isn't really 'yab' in a meaningful sense). Even sticking with popular, charismatic history, a semi-mythical narrative like the Trojan War/Iliad is both superficially familiar to a popular audience and provides an opportunity for broader inclusion of myth and incipient human culture/civilisation. If management have opted for a blanket ban, it really shows a lack of consideration of how they could work within limitations. A lot of history before the Enlightenment, modernity, and the nation state is simply too obscure or too disconnected from contemporary conceptions of nationhood and international relations to really be offensive to a mainstream audience.

>> No.13913893

Realistically I think Cover management want to avoid it for two main reasons
1) It doesn't fit the "good vibes" theme they try to go for with their vtuber product.
2) They're an entertainment company and not in the business of producing educational content. They'd run too high a risk of Mumei fucking something up and causing either a public outcry or drawing criticism from actual historians for spreading misinformation. Better not to touch that to begin with.

Another reason is that ancient history still causes salt today. Macedonia for instance.

Sana has a weak model and took a huge break too early in her career, which completely killed any chance she had to gain momentum.

Baelz and Fauna are solid characters that a lot of people are going to really enjoy, but a lot of other people are going to find annoying for various reasons. Having well-defined extreme personalities serves them well in collabs, but makes it harder to succeed as someone's favorite solo streamer.

Mumei was a really popular character, especially in collabs, but also an incredibly simplistic character that was probably pretty boring to play. She's been expanding the character by leaning into a psychopath bit that had early popularity because of how drastically different it was from how she is most of the time. Appears to be missing the fact that the more she does it, the harder it is to retain the audience who liked the original simplistic personality.

Kronii doesn't have an extreme personality or a voice that's going to grate on some people, so it's easier for her to have mass appeal. She's just not all that ambitious, so she isn't working to grow her audience.

In what world does Fauna has an extreme personality? She is a fairly normal girl. Her problems are, IMO, her shyness and low energy that makes some people find her boring, this is especially bad in big collabs where she is just there barely interacting with anyone. The fact that she also went from having a really consistent schedule and time to whatever the hell is she doing nowadays with really weird time choices plus multiple breaks nearly every week leading to a fairly low amount of content is certainly not helping, Mori streamed nearly 3 times what she did in November for example.

She also did some really dumb stuff like avoiding the server around the time when they joined the servers to do dumb speedruns that went nowhere certainly didn't help her numbers.

>> No.13914991

>>13913339
Conversely, Mumei has been lagging behind massively in terms of SCs while Sana is performing really well. That seems to imply that despite having the least subs overall, Sana has one of the more dedicated groups of viewers and overall fan base in Council.
Bae enjoying an incline right now tells me that people aren't getting as filtered as much by her anymore. I think she could boom a little bit with some extra work. which will hopefully happen after her short break.

One smaller thing I do think plays some part is the stream times being really awful for EU on most of them, even more so than Myth were. With Myth even as a Europoor we could still catch pretty fair amount of streams by the end of the day, 10pm - 2am, but with Council that's practically impossible with the exception of Bae - who streams in the JP hours like Mori (and Kiara by virtue of her now being in EU) - but everybody else have recently been starting their streams at 3am or later just makes it close to impossible to catch it live.

Disagree. You need to debut new people to generate hype/interest, and hopefully you strike it well with one in which they draw in an audience you had limited to no access to attention wise. Five people can only have so much appeal to others, especially when in regards of times they tend to stream. They probably need another generation in another four or so months to plug in the dead NA time along with not putting as much stress on those that exist to stream. As always a new hotness often lights a fire under certain people's assets to stay relevant.

Nepotism gen. Hopefully they pick actually good streamers though.
My rrat is that the other two members of Fauna's trio will get in. Vivi is one of the best EN entertainers out there and Shadow would be ideal cunny little sister experience (with crazy mixed in). 100% either of them would've gotten in instead of Fauna because she was easily the least entertaining of the three (I don't dislike her at all, I watch all of them, it's just literally facts she was the least attention grabbing of the three). Continuing in nepotism but less talented streamers, someone like Munibug could be nepo'd in or Yuria.

Other three places, ideally someone like Nina as a singer. There'll inevitably be one huge content creator pick, probably someone like Bao (please no). I think it would be funny if we had a company betrayal, either a NijiEN or a Vshojo. Also there'll be someone completely unexpected, aka a literal 2view.

Mumei gave SCs the Ina/Ame treatment for a while both due to nervousness and due to her phone battery problem and not wanting end-of-stream SC readings to cut into the meat of her limited stream time. Instead she’d occasionally do SC reading/zatsudan streams where she’d select a few SCs to use as conversation topics, then get sidetracked by weird shit. Lack of attention to SCs caused SC revenue to drop while the increasing backlog made acknowledging them even more of a problem.
Nowadays she doesn’t have the battery problem, so she does SC readings at the end of her streams to avoid creating another backlog, and the time it takes for her to realize that SCs are still on seems to be increasing. This is a recent development, so time will tell if that helps her on that front.
She’s at the top of the pack in sub growth, CCVs and members, so it’s not like she’s trailing, merely that Kronii was able to get an early lead. At the same time, she was second to Sana in stream time in November, so more streaming isn’t going to solve the SC issue.
