Designs like this are why we need to make VA changes the norm for v-tubing. There is absolutely no reason NijiEN shouldn't be able to just hire somebody new to replace the shitty actor they hired initially. The worst thing that happened to v-tubing as an agency was people rejecting VA changes.

Just fucking replace Zaion's VA instead of trashing this top tier design. A v-tuber should not die when their VA leaves.

The reason recasting works for anime and other forms of motion visual media and not vtubing is because with anime, these people portray the characters with a pre-written personalities and characteristics. In VTubing, any pre-written lore for the characters is only for embellishments and usually gets thrown away by the person behind it.
Unless you want a Vtuber that's faking their personality for hours on end, changing VAs will never work.
>>44248983
I could see it working if a Vtuber already has multiple VAs from Day 1. And even then, fans would eventually distinguish them from one another and adjust designs based on that.

stopped reading here. there were 3 AIs and one of them was the OG AI, the other two even moved on to do their own work after AI-chan finished her VA work and returned. the only other reason why you could consider there being four different AIs is because of one singular video where the china AI-chan was shilled. regardless, OG AI was still one of the three that would make videos together during that time period every now and then.

While I agree that the actor makes the vtuber, I don't see it as a black and white issue. If the actor is well established, replacing them is fucking retarded.

>actor
Streamers aren't actors

This is actually the lesson we learned with Kizuna Ai.
It wasn't about people preferring one voice over another.
Kizuna Ai fans were following the person who played Kizuna Ai. Her personality, mannerisms, sense of humor. You can't just swap that out for someone else and expect people to accept it.

Trying to change her voice was a move by Activ8 to assert control over the character, to turn her into a product instead of a talent. They didn't want Ai to have control over the character that she embodied. They didn't want something like her current hiatus, they wanted to be able to constantly sell Kizuna Ai forever.

>>44256111
For something like Sonic, which is an established character adapted into a vtuber, yeah a voice change wouldn't be met with too much pushback.

But someone like Hime, who is created as a vtuber mascot, would probably have to be retired. If they still want a vtuber, they can just design a new one. Not like companies don't reinvent their mascot all the time as it is.

>> No.44258623

>>44258217
Kizuna Ai did prerecorded sketches like once a week. She probably had less combined voice content than Zaion at this point by the time they attempted to switch the VA, at least for the majority of people who didn't watch her let's plays. If anything, you would think that it would be easier to switch someone who needed to do 10 minute videos with several takes but people still hated it.
The only argument is popularity. Since Zaion isn't one of the cash cows they could just recast her and tell the existing fans to fuck off if they don't like it. I wouldn't want to watch a corpo like that though since there are implications for my oshi in that. It just feels like scummy black company shit.

Holy newfags. Are you all tourists or something?

Also OP is a moron. As seen with Gemu Bu, giving the possibility of replacing VAs, compagnies will abuse it immediately.
If (you)r corpo oshi has been in even just one controversy, without that rule there is a high chance that the corpo would have throw's her in the bin and replace her with someone more tame.
The fact that they can't do that, means Chuubas have more job stability. They can also take more risks and be creative without the fear of getting axed if their black company higher ups get mad at them. This is why fans fought against it.

The first Gemu-Bu soul replacement was in april 2019. The first time Kizuna Ai-pi and love-chan versions were introduced was a month or two later in May or Jun.
It literally happened before. AND Kizuna Ai was never replaced. They made more versions, 2 jps and one chinese with different RMs. Which was equally retarded but it's not the same thing.
Nozomi Kasuga never stopped being active as Ai-chan. When the other Kizunas were posting on the channel, she was working on the Idol side of things. She wasn't happy with the situation but she was never actually replaced.
She also made videos multiple times to explain that to newfags like (you).

They only did that several months later, and by that point people had already moved on. It's why the "OG was killed off and replaced" rrats exist to this day, because management did absolutely nothing to try and correct it until it was far too late. If they had the hairclips from the very start, people probably wouldn't have been so opposed to it, but they all used the same model, the same name, and the clones were trying to act like they were the original, when they clearly weren't. Management didn't want you to know that they were the clones, they wanted you to think it was the OG.

Zaion was the biggest Live ccv hire they got to date, even Millie PL only got higher after announcing graduation
I am baffled she went through with joining, Shoto had similar numbers to her and decided to remain indie(and got lucky he could leech the friends that joined)

She had no monetary reason to join nijisanji and clearly don't have friends in the branch to push her towards that.
So my rrat is as follows
>Zaion oshi is Minase Rio from holostarsJP (the blue ghosty fag)
>Why? She likes some of his tweets and only his, no other holostars
>She is terminally parasocial for him and applied to both big JP corpos

literally, nothing she did would have caused this sort of shitshow at any even halfway decent corpo. Not PC, not Tsunderia (RIP), not Kawaii, not Idol, and not even Hololive. Hololive didn't fire Rushia until it was discovered that she'd repeatedly violated NDA and they didn't flay Vesper in his suspension notice like Niji did to Zaion. Kawaii didn't fire Oceane until it was revealed she was in communication with doxxers and harassers despite her being a massive bitch to the other talents and having multiple fuck-ups. Stop pretending that what Niji did is normal, there have been many firings of talent across the industry and outside of actual black companies like WACTOR there's nothing like what NijiEN did to Zaion.

>> No.44268949

>>44256834
Trying to recast a vtuber is a horrible idea since it reminds fans that management does see their talents as expendable products. Their is a lot of role playing but there is too much of their history and personality in the character for them to be considered entirely fictional.

Hololive/Nijisanji are trying to sell the lie that they are a family and not employees of a soulless corporation. That is why they want fans to believe that vtubers quit instead of getting fired or not having their contracts renewed. It's why talents go on radio silent health breaks instead of getting suspensions. They don't want fans to consider that talents get fired or suspended. A vtuber that has their VA recast is a constant reminder that any of them can be replaced for the right amount of money.
