everyone in myth absolutely has the talent but I think ame, ina, and kiara would've had a hard time getting eyes on them because its not as immediately obvious.

gura would make it huge regardless because she's a literal meme queen and her model hits the most demographics of basically any chuuba design
mori's debut music would've put serious eyes on her too even if she debuted today, there's still nothing like it in EN vtubing.

Gura wants to be an idol like hatsune miku but doesn't want the pressure and hard work that comes with trying to get ther
Kiara she is literally every one who has worked hard at a job harder than anyone else and still get passed for promotion. No matter how much love sweat and tears she puts into her passion it will never be enough.

They have talent but not nearly enough to reach the popularity they had at their peak in any other circumstances. Honestly the more i watch other vtubers the less special Myth seem.

>Gura
No, she was able to get a 1m sub YT channel before debut, most of it is having a cute voice but she could've made it without Hololive
>Mori
Kind of, V-tubers exploding in popularity did wonders for her music. Her actual skills as an artist do not warrant the level of success she currently enjoys but she had a decent following beforehand.
>Ina
Yes, she's talented at drawing but that's not particularly useful when it comes to being a Vtuber.
>Ame
Absolutely yes, she was a 2view before Hololive and would be nowhere without it. The fact that Ame lost the most relative viewership as the EN scene became increasingly saturated proves how unremarkable she is as a streamer
>Kiara
Kind of, she started off weak but she has proven she is an immensely gifted streamer and the one most committed to her job. Amazing work ethic, she needed her big break but she's the only one who didn't waste the opportunity she was given.

Their initial dominance of the EN market in 2020 came from:
- Hololive (JP) was already the most popular big japanese agency in the west for EOPs thanks to a number of viral clips (Foobs scatman, Matsuri bandaids, Migo GTA, etc.) and a steady supply of english subs for their talents (shoutout to the chink idiots at Hololive Moments, by making Hololive popular in the west you made it easier for Cover to drop China during the Cocopocalypse, lol). The western audience was primed, hungry and ready for them
- first mover advantage: When HoloEN Myth debuted, they were the first serious attempt at an EN gen by one of the big japanese agencies (of which Hololive was already the most popular one in the west, see above). Remember Nijisanji's embarrassing first attempt at an EN branch, that was just three pajeets lol? Yeah, no wonder HoloEN won, and was for a while the "only game in town", and audiences had no one else to watch. If you were an EOP and wanted english vtubers, of course you'd watch HoloEN, what else? Hololive (JP) was probably already your favorite babbys first agency because you got into them via the clips, and now you had your own HoloEN vtubers you can actually understand whole streams of, and they can even interact with your favorite HoloJP vtubers, omg!
- lockdown buff. This is something out of Cover's hands and just pure "right place / right time" lightning in a bottle moment. A large part of the initial viewerbase was never actually committed fans in the first place, but basically just lockdown tourists. Vtubers were at the time the fresh new thing to entertain them while they were bored stuck at home. Now both the lockdowns are gone and vtubers aren't fresh and new anymore, so these people have moved on. The lockdown buff, coupled with the inital novelty of it all, made Myth's initial numbers quite overstated and they have now since settled into their lower more realistic long term viability.

as a child voice connoisseur, she loses power when she tries to hit higher notes/chorus, so no lol. I would take a child-sounding vocal synth over her any time of the day.

Also, doesn't Mumei have the same voice as her? So I wouldn't call her rare. (And Finana's voice is in a similar range but more whispery)

I would put them at the 8-14 years old territory but that's still low for coloratura, I would consider a coloratura someone like Ikue Ōtani or anyone that can do a convincing Pikachu voice without feeling the strain (the closets I can think of atm is Marine lol) to be considered to be able to do a 'under 8 years old' child voice. (Marine should have no problem doing a childish voice but she made her choice of going for the sexy image)

I would put Gura's talent at 'memeability' and being able to improv over her voice.

They WERE talented. Not super talented, but they had some streaming talent. The world was just starved for HololiveEN. That's why their sub count skyrocketed. It was a good time. It's all gone now. Hololive is the only company that can push out kino content involving EN chuubas (female), so don't even tell me to watch chuubas from other companies/indies. Now it feels like everyone in HoloMyth gave up. HoloCouncil is on life support. HoloEN management gave up.

that's worthless and doesn't prove anything, just insinuates about Kiara "disparaging Peari and other gaijin idols" on her old blog, while giving no links, no archives, not even screenshots, so no one can actually see for themselves what was said, if it was "disparaging", if Peari (or rather her actual rm) was mentioned, or if that even actually existed at all and isn't just another item in the long list of fake rrats made up about Kiara by her old schizo antis. And given how freely they used to post everything they considered "damaging" about her, from old tweets to unflattering photos, but there was never any material evidence for those old "disparaging" blogposts or actual proof of bad blood (or even just acquaintance) between Kiara and Peari, other than third-hand hearsay from schizos, makes it much more probable that it simply doesn't exist and is just another "trust me bro, no I can't post proof, I don't wanna get banned teehee, but trust me it totally happened" anti rrat, otherwise they would've included some actual evidence in the material of doxx they spam about her.

Every one of these girls is very talented in different ways:

Kiara - Very skilled entertainer/speaker/dancer, decent artist and singer
Mori - Despite what the antis say, the most talented of all. Good cartoonist, great musician/singer/writer, good speaker and funny
Amelia - Best all-arounder, great comedian and entertainer in general, talent for techincal side of things. It's a meme but she really is very creative.
Ina - Godly artist, kinda funny in her own way. Her original song is very good. Is being extremely cute a talent?
Gura - Best comedian, great singer. Best handle of entertaining her audience of anyone.
She has the it factor. Will stay popular in one way or another if this ship sinks.

Compared to the general population these girls are brilliant desu. While they were in the right place at the right time, their talent carried them for a while even though hololive and vtubing as a whole has cooled off as of late. They wouldn't be nearly as successful if they sucked. Unity forever.

They're not even comparable. Comparing Moona to Gura is fucking retarded.

Do they really? What metrics are you using as the basis for this claim?
If you mean jp fans, for example, EN doesn't really occupy a lot of their attention nowadays. The "shiny new toy omg so impressive" honeymoon period has long since worn off, the branch has gotten stale, jp interest in EN is pretty flat or down, given how little they are discussed in the jp-sphere, or for example as another indicator to measure actual "jp interest", how yen-superchats make up just a pretty negligible amount for HoloEN talents.
Or if you rather mean the jp talents themselves love EN, eeh... well, even if they hated them, they wouldn't say it outright, even if just to keep up appearances, but for actual "love", idk, they actually do very little with them together. There is very little actual regular interaction (especially compared to the claim that they supposedly "love them" very much) between the branches besides maybe a handful few talents who have any sort of meaningful connection, and most is just pretty superficial fluff (like for example Shion or Okayu saying how much they love Gura, but with little actual collab interaction followup) that doesn't amount to much. Sure, most of that has to do with half of HoloEN being EOPs, and pretty much all of HoloJP being JOPs that are not confident in actually holding meaningful longer conversations with each other, but from the meager results of things anyway the supposed "love" that JP has for EN seems pretty superficial and just lip-service. JPs think of EN mostly as kind of exotic zoo animals, if they think about them at all, given how most of HoloJP doesn't have much regular meaningful interaction with EN anyways.

It's like if you said if HoloEN "loves" the IDs. Sure, if asked, they would of course say they "love" them, what else, but if you'd be disappointed if you expect that to result in much of any regular meaningful interactions between them that actually proves their "love" is more than just empty flattering words and actually means some actions.

True.. it was Gura actually who pulled me in... It was fun then she would stream minecraft sure she wasn't good at it but they were fun streams. Her little cuckle pulled me in and now it feels like it is all drifting away all the fun we had.

I'm not mad at Gura or any of the ENs because they don't stream it's because I wish we could go back to those days in November 2020 when everything else just seemed bigger then EN and /hlgg/ and we were a tighter community.

He's talking about how due to the language barrier and willful ignorance, JP's interpret a lot of the dumb offensive shit they do as kawaii. Or just straight up are incapable of noticing it. Then there's the whole fact that since the girls don't do anything for their Japanese audience, the Japs are only likely to catch them at their lives and new outfits and shit like that which means they can maintain a very positive few of them without knowing what they are like as a streamer. JP's don't even know about plenty of other JP's outside of major event streams.

Kiara is the greatest EN vtuber to ever live. One day Ame will go back in time to drop off the first eggs, giving birth to the creature we now know as the "chicken."

You see, our current timeline is the bad ending, where Kiara isn't strong enough. However, Ame needs this timeline to understand what's necessary to reach our end destination.

Every loop she places the eggs -- solidifying the "chicken" as a bootstrap paradox, but effectively creating the "chicken" nonetheless -- and next she's going to have to make the dire move of replacing someone on Myth.

Kronii, being aware of the different timelines Ame has put us through, offers to help. Ame attempts to swap Calli with Kronii, throwing Council under the bus in hopes that removing thoughts of Takamori will help Kiara reach full power. Unfortunately, Council cannot afford to have Calli. It stifles the overall success of hololive too much. Next timeline she'll have to be eliminated from hololive entirely.

We still have a long journey ahead, but Ame has us covered. Ame and Kiara are truly the two strongest EN Vtubers.

nta, and I admit I am only a casual Gura watcher (well, as little as you can watch of her nowadays anyway), but yeah, for a supposed "meme queen" chumbuds hype her up to be, there seems to be actually very little memorable memes coming from her now.

Sure, back in her pre-Holo times she had the ability to put out some irreverent 30sec meme song every quarter and many of them went multimillion views viral, but what has she actually done lately? Has she lost it?
I even accept the excuse (even if it's also cope) that "n-nuh uh, you don't understand, she's still a great meme queen, it's just that ackshually Cover is cramping her style too much now, shooting down every one of her many ideas and projects (lol), that's why you don't see for example no funny 30sec meme videos from her like she used to do!"

But a truly "great meme queen" would also have the ability to work around Cover's restrictions, or push through despite them (given how big she is, they should bow to her, right?). The fact that she doesn't points to her demotivation (to use a nicer word than laziness) or that she doesn't even cares to bother anymore nowadays.

Gura she has a very attractive voice/personality and would be massively successful no matter what (Ayame is the JP equivalent), as evidenced by the fact that in her past channel she had over a million subs just for posted one low-effort meme video every few months. Plus she got lucky and got a very iconic avatar design for her first outfit, it's like the Pikachu of vtubers. Her problem is she doesn't have motivation/work ethic to be a "content creator" that has to deliver large amounts of content regularly. And if you believe the reasons she gives for disappears several times a year, she has poor health as well. Ina got a very cute avatar and has a very cute personality (hence why she has the most "cult following" out of all EN, the takos) and is the most talented artist in EN but same problem as Gura, low motivation and poor health. Mori is talented and motivated but mostly towards her own stuff, not Hololive. Kiara and Ame are the least talented of Myth but the most motivated towards actually creating cool/fun vtuber content for Hololive.

Council overall is way less talented than Myth but they are more motivated to actually produce content regularly. Myth joined Hololive when there was still a "vtubers are just digital idols" mentality and Council joined after we all knew they were just digital comedians/streamers that need to stream regularly, and it shows in the people who got chosen. It's the same in JP, generally speaking the early gens have the most talented girls but the later gens have the girls that are willing to stream almost daily.
