wtf there's an english version of EDF6? I thought it wasn't out until summer.

>>71284110
Since when did Fubuki collab with men? I thought she was GFE.

>>71284110
Call me when they release a new Dream C Club game and put Hololive girls in it.

>Fubuki GFE
>Fubuki appealing to unicorns
>Fubuki don't collabing with males
Where does this kind of retards newfags even come from?

>>71285400
Why do people keep talking about Unicron?

>>71284110
IDK how big / popular they are, but they sure are recognizable

>>71284110
popular enough you can walk around in akihabara and find plenty of merch

>>71284110
>people like to bring up anycolor being dominant in Japanese media and merchandise
Thats only accurate a few years ago.
Now its just Hololive.
Walk down Akiba and you'll see Holo everywhere.

>>71285445
homobeggars are obsessed with them.

>>71284110
No clear idea, but a lot more Holo brand recognition since Marine went viral, Suisei got on first take and Shigure Ui being mistaken for Holo.
Haven't heard Niji go viral for anything positive.

>>71285445
Dunno, but I agree. We need more sets. He was completely underutilized

damn

Eh didn’t see too much merch in Akihabara just a few gacha machines in a dusty alley. Most of the merch is still anime and video games and other anime characters I had no clue where they’re from

>>71290663
did you walk around for 10 minutes or are you just blind and retarded

>>71290663
consult youtube i saw a video about where to find holo merch there (i didnt actually watch it i just keep seeing it on the side idk)

>>71284253
I still see release date as TBD on Steam. Fucking JP got that shit back in 2022.

Its in the same place as Touhou in its prime.

>>71284110
Nijisanji hasn't been irrelevant since the end of 2019. Around 2020 is when everyone shifted their focus to Hololive, and the gap has only widen since then. Anyone who thinks Nijisanji is still the top dog is living in 2017-2019. Nowadays, it's just Hololive and a bunch of literally whos.

>>71293584
*has been irrelevant

>>71293263
please no
I don't want this.
I don't even want to think about the shit I saw in my touhou doujins and compare it to people I can actually superchat at directly.

>>71287788
Thanks.

>>71293584
Isn't VSPO more popular than NijiJP nowadays? And with a fraction of the members?

>>71299047
>Isn't VSPO more popular than NijiJP
no

>>71293584
Nijisanji is still at the top, only delusional hololive fans think their irrelevant corpo is popular in Japan.

>>71299047
VSPO will always be behind Nijisanji even when it comes to English branches.

>>71304452
It is.

>>71305175
proof next thread?
niji wasn't relevant for years
actually niji never even were popular lol shit's a SCAM

>>71284110
>>71305175
Hololive's collaborations with companies are strong.
For example, the Japanese convenience store FamilyMart has run several campaigns offering Hololive merchandise. This week, campaign images of energy drinks will be played in the store on a large screen monitor above the cash register.
Hololive is also frequently involved in candy label campaigns.
The sisters take photos of unsold products and manipulate that the hololive is not popular. Or they attack the non-sale campaign and tell them not to collaborate.
This is a mistake and a terrible harm.
Animation label merchandise of all kinds often goes unsold. And they forget that even when they do, a lot of inventory is left over and little is made.

>>71312306
I see.

>>71305401
VSPO is unironically has bigger ccv than nijiJP now
also they have a strong presence on twitch
niji is getting more and more irrelevant by the day

>>71284110
Hololive goods corner in Akihabara Radio Kaikan has shrunk over last few years to barely 1 stand, if that's what you're asking.

They are just... there. Not a media sensation or anything. Yes, they have collaborations, but even fucking uma musume somehow has collaborations going, not a big metric.

>>71293263
Who is the Reimu of Hololive?

>>71315886
Radio Kaikan itself is shrinking, and the merchandise at Radio Kaikan is second-hand?
If we are talking about stores, we opened a goods store at Tokyo Station for a limited time. Pokemon and Ultraman also have stores in this underground shopping mall.
We also did a Pekora collaboration store in Ginza.
At least in the last year, it is hard to believe that the popularity is decreasing.

Also, when we collaborate with social games, sales temporarily increase significantly.
Recently, Hoshimachi Suisei was implemented in THE iDOLM@STER.
I don't think these are minor.
Another example is the Hololive collaboration with Granblue Fantasy festival. This was criticized by people trolling the distribution and complaining on social networking sites.
The result was that the viewership of the distribution during the participation of the hololive was reasonably good.
Some of the collaboration goods were sold out and re-sold as well.

>but even fucking uma musume
The currently highest-grossing gacha game getting collaborations? Shocking.

>>71284110
Huge, the perception that Holo isn't popular in Japan is a couple years out of date. I lived in Japan for the last 6 years and for a while Niji actually was more common to see on billboards or merch than hololive and whenever I'd hear someone talking about vtubers and their oshis more often than not it was Nijis. At a certain point over the last couple years it flipped around and now hololive shit is everywhere, you can't spend a day in the city without running into a picture of a holo girl it feels like and the most common oshis I hear are Marine, Fubuki, peko, and other holos. The japs seem to like Gura too even though she never streams and they can't understand her kek

>>71285547
Hololive bigger than Disney, tiktok, and Shouhei Ohtani is crazy. Disney so low is actually nuts every girl in Tokyo goes to Disney Sea at least twice a year

>>71318541
By city do you mean Tokyo or cities in general.

>>71312306
Yep pretty much every convenience store you walk in will have some kind of hololive brand deal on, Lawson and Fami both do them often, idk about 7

>>71312306
Those ドデカミン energy drinks kick ass by the way, the first time I drank one I felt borderline high almost. They actually taste good too unlike monster

>>71318897
Tokyo, I live there idk what goes on in Sendai or whatever they're probably still discovering the Internet up there.

>>71319628
Kek, Sendai getting hit with a stray. Apparently, they have enough signal for the Goomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg1I7rOfU2A

>>71284110
Did she take off her cloths?

>>71323536
yes

>>71299047
No. On an individual level they are more popular then the average niji but they don't have anyone on the level of Toya, Kanae, Kuzuha, etc. and thus their brand is less popular overall.

>>71284110
It's a tragedy that none of them have played the superior 2,3 or 4.1.

>>71305175
Tell them sister

>>71284110
I went to Japan last month. They're everywhere in the typical otaku areas, not nearly as much coverage as Spy x Family, Heaven Burns Red, maybe comparable to Blue Archive.
I believe it's area dependant though. Animate in Ikebukuro had a lot more Niji merch, likely due to the fact that the area is more of a fujoshi hub. There were two floors of the place dedicated to male idols, kpop etc.
Akihabara felt like it leaned more heavily Holo in advertising and billboards but were somewhat equal in available merch. Holo showed up more in gachapon and claw machines.

>>71324444
Nice to know.
If I went to Japan, I can skip Animate then.
I can just spend time in cat or owl cafe instead.

>>71324444
>Heaven Burns Red
wait it's actually big? I thought it was dying lol
either way hololive has a collab with it anyway

Tourist here, literally. But the new and used merch sections of most stores I've been to have like 20% more Holo merch just in terms of shelf space.

>>71284110
個人的にEDF6はシリーズの中で最も良作だった
これまでのEDFと比べるとストーリーがしっかりしている(正直感動した)
ちなみにEDF5の続編だから、5を先にプレイしたほうがより楽しめると思う

Personally, EDF6 was the best of the series.
The story is solid compared to previous EDFs (honestly, I was impressed)
By the way, it's a sequel to EDF 5, so I think you'll enjoy it more if you play 5 first.

>>71325861
big enough that they have ads on walls everywhere at least.
>>71325641
Animate in Akiba was much better, Ikebukuro just has a lot of fujos
>>71325914
Feels accurate, Niji also had similar amounts. Especially with used goods sections, the location matters.
Funny thing I just remembered too, I did see Luxiem a few times. No actual goods you could obtain but there was a couple of claw machines that had Shu and Luca pillows lining the sides as filler kek

>>71319155
Additional information Energy Drink Campaign includes 7-Eleven this time. The availability of Hololive products at 7-Eleven will be rare.
FamilyMart's advertising and additional merchandise are unique to further promote the campaign.
It is clear that FamilyMart is putting a great deal of effort into this campaign.

>>71326198
I dropped Key once they stop making eroge.
But just like Type/Moon, I guess they managed to successfully grow after pandering to mainstream.

>>71315949
A-chan I guess?

>>71315638
Except Nijisanji has the biggest Japanese Vtuber on Twitch (and globally in general, especially when the Gook vtubers have been forced out of Twitch)

>>71322488
Sendai is just happy anyone is thinking about them at all

>>71325641
It's not animate, Ikebukuro in general is catered towards women and fujos. That street is called otome row. I saw two socially awkward girls meeting up to trade male idol photos there like they were doing a drug deal when I was smoking outside a restaurant, and I also saw a reverse trap cosplay gathering outside sunshine city was kinda hot.
Akihabara animate is pretty different, it's much more male focused. Still pretty mid though, go to mandarake and amiami instead. The best store in akiba was toranoana but it closed.

I've spent the last week in Japan for the Holofes, and I'm seeing A LOT more stuff for Hololive than Nijisanji. In a okayu shop in Akihabara, there was lke 3x more holo stuff than niji and vspo combined. With that said, I think nijisanji appears more often on Japanese TV programs and TV ads

>>71299047
here's your "popularity" bro

>>71315949
who the fuck is the only shrine maiden in hololive anon?

>>71333354
nijis are botted to hell too

>>71305175
Anon the survey by the Nikkei was literally posted in this thread >>71287788
Are you going to argue you know better than actual market research by the world's largest financial news group

>>71284110
how did you get the western release for edf6

>>71287528
Yes.

>>71332199
>kotobukiya
that's a fucking lie.
it's all niji in there, with some holo trinkets if you're lucky they have any in stock.

>>71285692
When I went last year I saw much more niji stuff than anything hololive related

>>71284110
Hololive is big, and they'll grow stronger. Nijisanji om the other hand...

>>71340523
Is growing even more powerful than before?

>>71342248
The opposite. Niji is crashing and burning for being a shady black company.

>>71334693
Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't help to think about the hakurei miko whenever somoneone mentions niji Reimu

>>71284110
It's a multi billion company
