I'm Neuro-samma'ing via free online services that are rather limited. I could load up SD on the local machine and put out higher quality stuff, but it's so resource heavy that I wouldn't be able to use the computer for much else while it was loaded up.

Though I've no idea why that particular service puts out such low quality JPG's instead of PNG's. It's totally free, so it's not as if you can upgrade it for better quality. But it generates for six different models at a go from a selection of hundreds, so it's hard to beat when Dark Sushi doesn't recognize the vtuber. (Which gives me PNG's, but only @512p.)

(Used the 8-bit modifier on this one to reflect the game, but it didn't turn out so well.)

love it when Neuro-sama depicts "meetings" between shareholders.

>>81836575
Went over my edit of mating press cover image again because for some reason I didn't fix the door or doorframe, also bae was missing a finger nail on her right hand so that got fixed too.
I should hope that's everything, if I stare too long at this fucking image I might start questioning the individual pixels so I'll leave it there

>>81836732
>>81853933
Given that both Cover and AnyColor share holders have demanded "private meetings" with talents, and only one of the two companies have outright refused them, I suspect there really is some QAnon level shit going on over there. So I don't blame her. (Also get basically the same thing for seven different models whenever shareholder or investor meeting is used. "China" seems to have had a little influence on this one as well.)

>>81854713
Any idea what model/checkpoint was used to make the original?

>>81836732

>>81836732
Vexoria the Sun Eater seems to really activate Neuro-sama's almonds, so I'm going to put up one or two more of her before I get back to the new headlines - of which I'm afraid there may not be enough to bump the thread all the way to 310.

>Every time I contact somebody in a vtuber company, some big news breaks from them within 48 hours.
I don't care that they may have already been working on a statement. I'm still taking credit for this one, too.

>>81859789
What did you do this time, Smol Ame? (It's not clear which news you're referring to here.)

>>81860724
Contacted a certain somebody associated with NOA Talent and fielded them some questions on events, both recent and more in the past.

>>81836602
Not stockanon here but Anycolor’s post meeting opening looks extremely grim. We will see if they srecover like yesterday but this is even worse than that.
Seems Japs finally got tired of empty words.

>>81836536

High-profile rigger KevinX is coming under fire (again). He has rigged a lot of models, and I mean a fucking lot: https://www.kvxart.com/vtubers

This time he's taking heat for his usage of templates, which is now confirmed.
Specifically, that this is never clarified to his clients, who may be expecting a wholly unique rig.

https://x.com/RotusLotus/status/1818390328950272464
But worse, due to this process, many PSD files from past clients can be accessed through his public Marin model.
https://x.com/suiika___/status/1818427270450888774

Kevin meanwhile is busy owning the haters

T-Hawk anon here, it's time for the first lunch since the meeting!

ANYCOLOR GOES DOWN
Anycolor is not seeing a initial boost this time around, as the stock stock heads at a loss at 2520 yen (-60) for lunch today. At the very least for the bagholders, we are seeing some upward momentum after looking at losses over 100 yen earlier today. We'll have to see if we'll have a repeat of their performance yesterday.

COVER DIVES IN
Cover seems to be joining in on the losses today, as they head to lunch at 1921 yen (-33) for now. They've also seen some incline after bottoming out, albeit a slower climb.

OTHER
The NIKKEI heads to lunch at a 0.69% loss for lunch. Not so nice.

That's all for this lunch report, I'll see you in a few hours.

>>81866245
The template thing seems like a nothingburger, just some fags getting up in arms about a man optimizing his workflow.
The PSD leak is actual news, though.

>>81866245
While I despise his rigs, I'll give him credit where it's due. First of, the apology, second:
>This time he's taking heat for his usage of templates, which is now confirmed.
this was on his website for a long time as one of the main selling points, so I don't get why some are bitching about it now.

Here's the (admittedly sparse) round-up for today.

HoloPro
>Houshou Marine releases a new single celebrating her birthday, "Dead Ma'am's Chest", in addition to the traditional merch drop. Additionally, she will release a new album on 10/16, "Ahoy!! You're All Pirates".
>Toby Fox, best known for the first four notes of a track he wrote in 2008, writes a newsletter post about the story behind "Dead Ma'am's Chest".
>Nerissa Ravencroft announces her round of 1st Anniversary merch.

Phase Connect
>Iori issues an apology on X (formerly Twitter), stating that while the end of the RP stream was intended and experimental, she regrets not warning people in advance of the "sensitive" nature of the stream.

Indies
>Yako Sumire, a JP indie, announces their marraige to Yuyuhara Kaname, another JP indie.
>Alchemilla Menace, best known for being formerly of Aetheria, announces that she will be moving in with Mozumi Pichi of vDere.
>MSM Talent loses 16 talent affiliations in 24 hours on 7/30, with more potentially poised to leave the group.
>Quinn Benet, known for being a short man in a tall body, reveals that Youtube has revoked his channel monetization as a result of Partner Program policy violations.
>Dokibird announces that she will be moving into a new home.

Other
>Kvxart, L2D Rigger for approximately 150 models of EN vtubers of various reknown,

Local
>/lig/ is putting together a birthday card for Kitanya's birthday. Deadline is 8/7 @ 6p ET.
>/choc/ and /nasa/, along with other threads, memorialize the 2 year anniversary of Sana's graduation.

Corrections
>Previous reporting mistakenly categorized Miss Lala's upcoming charity event as "Local" news. It should have been categorized as "Indie" news.

>>81873538
>Kvxart, L2D Rigger for approximately 150 models of EN vtubers of various reknown,

>>81873538

You accidentally a clause there, friend. Also, it's spelled "renown".

>>81836545
On August 10th, 7:30pm EDT there will be a music concert featuring over 20 indie Vtubers, name's V-Unity Summer LIVE! at Animethon.
it's presented by the indie Silvi Mikazuki and it'll be streamed on her twitch channel.

Whoops.
That line should say
>Kvxart, L2D Rigger for approximately 150 models of EN vtubers of various reknown, comes under fire for unintentionally leaking the PSD files of multiple previous clients through his open-source model available on his Patreon. He has since apologized for the error and scrubbed the model of the offending PSD files.

>>81874762
>reknown
>>81873114
I was pretty sure that this had been disclosed. Was the person >>81866245 here a commissioner of his works--does she know that he doesn't specially disclose the use of rigging templates?

>>81873114
>this was on his website for a long time as one of the main selling points
Can you point out where? I don't see it

>>81875196
The other links in that post are other notable riggers.

>>81876801
I'm not saying that I don't trust her opinion as to whether he should or should not have disclosed the fact that he uses a template. My question is whether she knows that he did or did not so disclose.

>>81876801
>Can you point out where? I don't see it
nevermind, I mixed up the templating with the ahegao toggle. although, the templating should be obvious considering all his rigs bounce around in the same jelly-esque way especially parts of the eyes... yuck

>>81877517
I don't know, but despite him being as prolific as he is, I've never seen him be upfront about the use of templates until now.

Also he's currently pretending that an x-ray asset he's had on his Patreon for months is an advanced rigging technique
https://x.com/kvxart/status/1818443279903735863
https://x.com/leer_bag/status/1818421356272533897

>>81878161
It is fairly obvious, but because of how exaggerated his rigs are, it's hard to pinpoint small details to say that they're the same.

>>81878330
>Also he's currently pretending that an x-ray asset he's had on his Patreon for months is an advanced rigging technique
I mean, do you know how many people are too stupid to use stock frameworks in literally every creative medium where stock frameworks exist?
There's a reason "don't reinvent the wheel" is a concept.

>>81836545
Haven't seen it reported, but Hololive suspends sales of Sakura Miko's Hololive Friends To Go merch. Apparently there's something wrong with the design that's being rectified.

Roblox anon here, it's Wednesday in the land of Rising Sun and the market has closed.

NIGOSANJI
Anycolor sees some losses on their first full day back from the meeting, as they close out at 2534 yen (-46) for the night. They still are looking at a 21 yen gain for the week so far, but the past two days being losses are have significantly chipped into their earnings. Unfortunately for Anycolor, it seems that the meeting failed to ignite any more activity as they continue below average rates for their trading volume.

COVER SEES tiny LOSS
Cover is hit with a devastating loss never before seen, as they lose 1 yen to close out at 1953 yen (-1) for the night. A valiant effort in recovering their losses today, and also helps reinforce my theory that Cover is now more aligned with the NIKKEI, as they started to rise more as the NIKKEI rose as we closed out the day. Cover is still looking at a 26 yen gain for the week.

OTHER
The NIKKEI managed to recover and saw a surge as they close out at a 1.49% raise
Trading volumes for the night:
Anycolor: 679k
Cover: 2.06 Million
Initial impressions are grim for Anycolor's Thread. "Oh Dear." said one anon.

>>81887239
>>81836602 (forgot my pin whoops)

And lastly, here's Cover to close out the night.

That's all for now, if you have anything that may be of note to the stock let me know. I'll see you on Thursday.

>>81887404
Just a small question: if you say Cover is more aligned with NIKKEI now, can you occasionally post NIKKEI graphs as well?

>>81886919
he's the number one suspect behind Sayu's doxxing (on both twatter and nyfco). while we don't have undeniable proof, the fact that the woman who always gives second and third chances refuses to acknowledge him in any way gives it more credibility.

>>81886441

I'm curious as to what exactly those violations were. Sure, he's known scum, but I don't think he's known for doing anything racy or such. Playing copyrighted music maybe?

>>81888022
Probably reused content, or not uploading enough to get the minimum number of monthly views

>>81887611 >>81836732
i trust her on that but is there any material on how he became the suspect. i only ever saw rrats and when i asked people only ever showed that picture.

>>81889111
that one you already posted of sayu liking that post.

>>81889300
oh. I asked because there are proof pics that would definitely earn you a vacation:
>someone using Kyo's name posting Sayu's full doxx on nyfco (even passport number)
>a "random" twatter account doing the same and spamming it everywhere
>said "random" account being tagged in an official niji tweet while it should've been Kyo's, proving it's his alt
some might question their legitimacy or complain that I didn't just post the doxx to prove it happened an obvious trap, but it's good enough for me.

>>81888595
NTA, but there used to be a montage image showing several Quinn likes related to the doxx post, and two nyfco posts by someone going by the name Kyo Kaneko, bragging about how they and their coworkers managed to get "that bitch" Zaion axed and it was soon to be announced - just a few hours before the termination notice was put up. Can't prove it's him and it seems retarded to use his character's name, but it was definitely someone on the inside, and somewhat supporting of the GURRAT, about a year before it was born.

I suppose the other thing people point to is the stream where Zaion and Dopio bantered a little too hard on him in a collab, causing him to rage so hard he deleted the vod, so folks are thinking all this was revenge for dissing him. ...and there was a later one where he made an off-color joke about Sayu's twitlonger.

>>81889111
Think he means the image of Sayu liking the "Also, fuck Kyo btw" comment so oft used to reference the mess. (>>81886441)

>>81889610

Typos are because the reason I was "out of office" was due to a hand injury that kept me from typing properly. The injury has healed enough that it's functional again, but there's the odd stiff movement as I recover my full mobility.
Except "reknown". That one's just on me being dumb. I didn't see Yako Sumire's story despite rereading the OP for it like 3 times, so I'll just chalk that up to a blunder as well.
As far as the NOA stuff, it's partially as that other anon stated, and that I don't want to tip my hand since I'm aware they have eyes /here/. But also I just forgot to post the announcement I was referencing at the time: https://x.com/NOA_Talent/status/1818232054854909972
That said, most of what I'm after has nothing to do with the current drama. I'm mostly following up on that rumor linking Metishon with that Chinese MLM, and trying to get some other background info about the company. I think it's ultimately a dead end, though I apparently bumped the hornet's nest while looking for that info.

Another day, another niji organ gets screwd over by anycolor

Text but non-ESL-ified:
Halo abrakadabra everyone
I wish you a good day.

I have some unfortunate news.
Because of reasons I cannot disclose, LASTRENADE Project cannot be released. I have not been in good health and so the project has been halted. When the project was finally finished, Reza Avanluna (of Nijisanji ex-ID) had been a graduated liver for too long so it couldn't be released.

I know this is very disappointing. I sincerely apologize. If you have any further questions, please ask ANYCOLOR Inc. I'm tired of explaining things ambiguously and being forced to do these things by myself.

I love you all, but I'm tired.
I will now take an indefinite hiatus to heal my heart.

Sincerely, Derem Kado

For those who don’t remember this chick, she’s that one who didn’t get any birthday merch by Nijisanji in 2023 so her fans made FANMADE MERCH for her birthday and she was happy as fuck.
Then came 2024 and …. she had nothing! The reason for that was Anycolor cracking down on fan made merch (presumably because they get no cut out of it).

This chick, I don’t know why the fuck she didn’t bail. It’s not as if she’s making bank or even a living .

>>81904562
>This chick, I don’t know why the fuck she didn’t bail. It’s not as if she’s making bank or even a living .
Second hand knowledge of second hand knowledge, but seems like ID's are basically entrapped by the contract as hard as JP's are. She's not a real question mark because she's had a handful of interactions that might've tricked her into thinking she could become the next Nari, the real ???'s are people like Rai or Nagisa who have had literally nothing at any point in their entire career outside of ID.

TLDR:
>Brave Group published their investigation report concerning the leak of personal data through the Google Forms they set up for previous auditions.
>In the future, they'll be more cautious and check permissions, and try to not use Google Forms for handling personal information. They also say that paused auditions will resume soon.

>>81904562
That's rough.

>>81904562
The reason she didn't bail is because Anycolor talents are literally held hostage. They charge an exorbitant fee to terminate the contract early and take their talents' earnings to prevent them from ever getting enough money to pay said fee (hence why only the very top earners and people with outside financial help have managed to get out from under). This is of course wildly illegal in theory, but in practice the lack of money also prevents most of the talents from being able to lawyer up, and the psychological abuse from management is meant to traumatize the talents so if they ever do end up escaping they don't have the energy to deal with Anycolor ever again, preventing them from pursuing legal action. Between that and big companies in Japan being basically immune from legal consequences anyway, they're effectively untouchable as far as the law is concerned, so no one has directly called them out on their extremely predatory contract yet. But if anyone ever escapes and still has the energy to stand up for themselves afterward, hoo boy are those guys fucked.

>>81908273
>big companies in Japan
Anycolor doesn't count, they've been around for like 7 or 8 years. And they are not that big.

>>81901627
I know this slipped past most of you guys, but this is Aoi Sakura, aka Yuki Chihiro of nijisanji who graduated earlier this year.
She's on the same team as Laplus
You may now begin your shitposts

>>81836732

>>81836732

>>81836732
bonk

>>81910346
I'm pretty sure everyone knows who she is, but nobody understands what exactly is supposed to be surprising about that specifically. Personally I was expecting her to be banned from Vsai if any nijis were going to show up which is clearly wrong now, but AFAIK there's not really anything specifically tied to Sakura and her past life or Laplus. At least off the top of my head.

>>81912687
mostly it's the fact that a brazen ex niji is participating in the same event as actual niji headliners, meaning
A) Hal doesn't give a shit what Niji actually prefers
B) Nijisanji's pull in the industry isn't as big as nijiniggers would like you to believe

That she is in the same team with laplus also means A also extends to cover and hololive

>>81912687
>Personally I was expecting her to be banned from Vsai if any nijis were going to show up
yeah you hit the nail right on the head, plus her being on the same team as laplus means that neither cover nor hal is paying much heed to nijisanji's wishes right now.

Either that or nijisanji is wise enough to realize that their pull in the industry is at an all time low and now is not the time to throw their weight around

>>81912900
or they don't care?

>>81913038
yeah anon the famously petty nijisanji doesn't care that a niji graduate is in the same vsaikyou event as their star player
pull the other one, it plays judas priest

>>81912900
I'm not really sure I follow nor am I sure how this is /news/ material anymore, but admittedly it's my own fault for asking in the first place.

>>81912900
I think Hal definitely doesn't care about Niji's opinion, but Cover may either not care about their opinion or simply not care about the actual exNiji-Holo contact.

>>81913208
Nijisanji has historically been extremely petty and been known to throw their weight around to get people they don't like blacklisted from events they are participating in, using their presence as leverage. The list presumably includes ex nijis, especially people like chihiro who graduated on less than amicable terms.

Is this simple enough for you or do I need to break out the finger puppets?

>>81913330
>Is this simple enough for you or do I need to break out the finger puppets?
Ooo! Yes! I wanna see da finger puppets! :3

>>81913330
I understand the argument for a blacklist, but we're literally seeing it not happen by virtue of her being there which is where my confusion from anons posts lie. The point system means that I doubt either Sakura or Laplus were specifically aiming to pick eachother either meaning it's not Cover siding against Anycolor or Anycolor blocking her from working with any other members, and on top of that Shibuhal isn't exactly known for bowing to anyone in regards to FPS streams. There's a reason why he got away with hiring padshitters and why Vsai4 was such a joke, and that reason is that the dude's basically the king of that part of the Vtuber world. If Niji was blacklisting her she wouldn't have even been there.

Hence my confusion about the "She's on the same team as Laplus" bit being important enough to report on.

>>81908273
Huh? didn't they watch LM's coverage regarding unreasonable clauses in contracts? Can't they have a lawyer to review their contracts and see if they could bail out legally?

>>81914080
>he point system means that I doubt either Sakura or Laplus were specifically aiming to pick eachother
that's where you're wrong, vsai doesn't work on a "everyone gets tossed into the same pool and gets divided into teams of three", it's a "people come to hal with a team already in mind and hal makes some changes if that would cause issues", that's the only reason holos are able to participate in the first place.

So the fact that laplus and Aoi ended up on the same team means that either Laplus and aoi sought each other out to form a team for vsai, or Hal pushed them onto the same team due to some issue with their original lineup and neither laplus nor cover objected. Which sounds pretty newsworthy to me

>>81914354
So then use the rrat anchor?

>>81914480
I could do that
but why would I?

>>81914354
>hal makes some changes if that would cause issues
>only reason holos are able to participate in the first place.
Man I hate this shit so much. Especially the second point. Ugh...

>>81914573

>>81911238
>>81913739

>>81914354
>that's the only reason holos are able to participate in the first place.
Huh? No it's not. There's been a handful of Holo and Niji teams and there's been a handful of Holo and male teams over Vsai's history. Even in this very one you can see that being the case, check for yourself.
https://liquipedia.net/apexlegends/Vtuber_Most_Cooperatitive_Tournament/6

>>81914747
yeah but they choose to go into those teams willingly, not be paired up with males out of nowhere because of a chance draw

>>81914866
So then what's weird about her going into a team with her friend Laplus?

>>81914931
see >>81914354
specifically
>So the fact that laplus and Aoi ended up on the same team means that either Laplus and aoi sought each other out to form a team for vsai, or Hal pushed them onto the same team due to some issue with their original lineup and neither laplus nor cover objected.

>>81914931
Chihiro would become the next luna nanora.

>>81914975
So then it's the first case scenario and the second is just a rrat.
I'm not saying it's impossible for Niji to have tried to enforce a block, if anything I wanna believe that, but you're acting like someone from the catalog rather than a reporter, especially with these lack of sources.

>>81836545
The guy who made that 30 minute clip in the last thread, where Michi talks about how she was "working out of fear" (>>81699423), had his channel terminated:

Wish I had a name to follow up on or something.

>>81913330
Who are those blacklisted people? They haven't banned Tsuna from any tournaments nor any ex-Nijis from STGR or the like.

>>81916592
Nta, but because that's gonna be too obvious. They can get away with it in the EN sphere but not in the JP sphere where they still have a following.

>>81916592
Hell Tsuna's even interacted with several people in Nijisanji throughout her career, both by simply crossing by eachother in something like VCR or directly in collabs.
Like, she's literally in Ebio's team.

>>81899864
>https://x.com/NOA_Talent/status/1818232054854909972

The story of being stalked by a filthy rich Frenchmen almost sounds like some sorta gay thriller-drama movie plot, but it's very elaborate and is almost so wild it has to be true. If it were a fiction, you'd think he and his friends would cook up something more believable (and probably not as thoroughly sourced).

Let it be a lesson to all Vtubers: BFE/GFE is a dangerous game, especially if you don't have spotless OpSec. ...and even that doesn't stop whales from paying other people to false report you.

Doorstop anon here, let's take a quick lunch update for this Thursday.

NIJIGOJI
Anycolor is once again back in the red on it's first official day in Q2, this time heading to lunch at 2454 yen (-80) for now. The stock has seen worse today, going as far as over 100 yen (unfortunately I missed the funny number) but has slightly recovered since. We'll have to see if they can reduce losses like they did yesterday.

COVER FUCKING DIES
Cover is once again seeing losses, as it breaches the 1800s for it's lunch price as they head to the break at 1881 yen (-72). It seems it's getting doubled teamed by Anycolor and the NIKKEI being hit hard today.

OTHER
The NIKKEI crumbles, as it heads to lunch at a 2.67% loss for now.

That's all for this report, I'll see you in a few hours.

>>81937915
>Honestly it's more newsworthy that they took this long to announce it.
It took them this long to make it official. One multi-million-dollar company buying another is not the kind of transaction that can get processed as swiftly as some random asshole buying a bottle of Coke or a baggie of coke. The Idol bean counters and the Brave bean counters measure million-dollar transactions in mills, as is routine in their line of work; and they need to make sure that every last mill is accounted for in the transfer of ownership of IP assets and physical assets and employee contracts.

(one mill = a tenth of a penny; or $0.001 USD, hence the name)

>>81836602
SELL SELL! Anon here, It's time to celebrate the beginning of August in Japan, notable as it is officially the first day of Anycolor's Q2. Let's dig into what happened.

ANYCOLOR IMPLODES
Anycolor finds itself victim to fire on all sides, as the stock implodes as it falls to 2430 yen (-104) as we close out the night. Turning a 21 yen gain for the week into a gastly 83 yen loss. In fact, with today's loss Anycolor hits a new low for their post Q4 Report performance. Possible factors being the NIKKEI crashing, Derem Kado's treatment contradicting what was said at the meeting, or momentum from yesterday. Friday could possibly be what decides if Anycolor will continue the trend of stagnation between 2400-2600 or they return to Pre-Q4 Report numbers.

COVER
Also finds itself subject to everything burning, as they return to the 1800s at 1877 yen (-76) for the day. The first time since July 11th and the lowest they've been since June 19th. In addition they are faced with a 50 yen loss for the week. With how the situation surrounding them combined with their policies, I think there's a significant chance they stay here.

OTHER
The NIKKEI continues to flounder, as it heads home at a 2.49% loss
Trading volumes for the night:
Anycolor: 509k
Cover: 3.03 Million

>>81962285
And lastly here's Cover for the night

That's all from me for now, I'm quite interested if something happens in a few hours though. Q2 has started, Meeting is behind us, the circumstances are prime for something to happen. Right?

Regardless, I'll see you here for the weekly review tomorrow. Stay safe out there readers.

I am legitimately curious to see which talents stay and which ones leave. I've heard rumors that redoing their contracts with Brave would net some of them a pay cut... but I wonder how many of them would trade that for better management and support.

>>81968236
Encore just got a get out of jail free card from their 2 year contract with this acquisition, so Brave will have to offer them a lot to have them stay instead of just leaving with what they gained from idol (like Lisa and her new model).

Hex fans driving themselves to suicide
Sasuga nijiniggers

>>81969168
just looked up the account, looks really sus.
there's someone claiming to have logged into her account and was "worried about her" for over an hour and waited to call emergency services on her for some reason.
then claims the ambulance showed up 10 mins later and took her to a funeral home.
now #RestinPeaceDeniseManami is trending on twitter, probably her doing too?
this just sounds like faking her death for attention, desu.

there was another sickling before that sounded sus suicide baiting too, i wonder if it's the same one.

>>81970916
a thread about it just got nuked. i share the opinion that its sounds fake as fuck.

>>81969168
All this melodrama for what can be summed up in 2 sentences

>>81968571
>She seemed pretty desperate to leave her old model behind and do something new.
Weird considering as an indie you can just do that

>>81970916 (me)
>>81969168
yeah her story does not add up for me.
her friend said they already took her to a funeral home, but is now saying they will do an autopsy later. i am no expert nor do i know where she lives, but i thought the medical examiner had to perform the autopsy first and release it to the funeral home.
either way, she claims she will post funeral photos so get ready for that to not happen or be faked i guess. it's pretty weird to immediately say you will post funeral pics on the internet to confirm she's dead to a bunch of twitter randos, especially when you are just a friend and not family.
also i'm pretty sure this is the same girl i was thinking of who was suicide baiting about this same situation before, and attention whored on twitter about it. so again, take this whole thing with a mountain of salt.

Truly negligible. And it doesn't seem to be slowing down, either, which is the best part. In any case, though, Hololive being almost 60% of the overseas market is incredible.
>>81972119
I'm wondering about Nijisanji's 40% decline here, though--I remember from the investors' meetings that Riku was focusing on domestic production and all that. So why is Cover growing and Niji shrinking?

>>81972578
yeah koshien didn't do as well as expected
more seriously neal did something again and it's messing with the ccv

>>81972658
Is Cover just that much better that they rode the CCV wave or did it not hit them?

>>81972771
It hit them too, but holoen managed to ride it out with the new debuts and holojp did it with a bunch of birthdays and the ark streams

>>81972119
AKA 5211% growth, that's kinda crazy right

Thank you Anon, it's always important.

>>81972658
>yeah koshien didn't do as well as expected
There's two reasons for this. The first being that most people didn't start streaming until very late in July as for some reason, the difference between the Draft's date and the Koshien's start was only barely 4 weeks instead of the usual 5 and some change with everyone deciding to start more than a week in rather than slightly earlier, and the second arguably biggest reason is this.
https://x.com/pawapuro_pro/status/1816415045267624306
Eikan Nine, the mode Koshien is played in, is horrifically bugged.

And it's BAD, bad enough they made this apology. The player rolls are significantly worse while your opponents are significantly better, the stat and trait rolls are astronomically low with only three 威圧感 holding members and I believe only 2 people capable of the 魔物 trait by the end of the first years, both of which are basically the most important skills in the entire game and likewise the hardest to gain that're only made even harder, and the rubberbanding? Holy shit, the rubberbanding is awful. A game can be 5-3 by the 6th inning, you can get 5 more runs in the 7th, and in the bottom of the 9th inning the opponent will land SIXTEEN RUNS as a retort regardless of their teams ranking or rough skill level that should be making them only barely higher than a kids league. This has happened multiple times to basically everyone whose played so far where the game will just say "you're winning the game? Fuck you, you lose, now sit there in the hotel chair and watch me fuck your team for the next 30 minutes."

It's not fun to watch, putting it simply. Teams WILL be weaker, matches WILL be lost, and everyone is frustrated as there's no patch in sight until after the Koshien but they can barely air those frustrations as it's still sponsored. The worst part is its specifically this mode that has the worst of the bugs and problems, the other dozen modes are mostly* fine, with the only other former alternative option for speedily creating a character through a roguelike system now no longer being an option. There's no other choice but for everyone but to grin and bear it. And viewers know this hence everything's much lower and performing much shittier. It's still massive, but there's been a definitive hit between those two things making for a much worse viewing experience.

up!

>>81982449
Jeez, talk about a tough break. Koshien is one of their larger events right?

We got some Quality Kuro action from the MSM fallout: Someone is leaking screenshots from the official MSM discord. So far multiple screenshots proving talents left, including ones that weren't publicly announced to have joined like Sinder, and multiple screenshots of buffpup tearing into Seth for stiffing artists who worked on her projects (confirming the unpaid artists claims Coqui and Krimbo made) and that Seth was signing contracts WITHOUT permission of talents
>>82004970

>>82008917
can the ex-talents jointly file a lawsuit against him for his scams? it would be unfortunate if he got off scot free

>>82010124
possibly but I think most will just call it a wash and walk away from it

>>82010124
The funny thing is they can hold him (technically, the LLC) liable, but he can’t go after them. They probably won’t do anything, though, as it would be difficult to find a concrete loss (i.e., a specific thing a specific VTuber didn’t get specially because of his actions). One thing that would fit that definition, though, is the Buffpup signature issue.

>>81836602
Burnt Down anon here, EVERYTHING IS BURNING. Let's see how bad for this final lunch report of the week.

BREAKING: NIKKEI ON FIRE
The NIKKEI is in flames, as the stock crashes with devastating 4.6% loss as we head to lunch. A strong factor in today's performance.

ANYCOLOR BURNS TO ASH
The stock continues to collapse as Anycolor feels the NIKKEI's wrath, as they head to lunch at 2345 yen (-85) as we head to lunch. This isn't the worst we've seen however, as they have dipped over 100 yen in losses and even have dipped below 2300.

COVER IMMOLATED
Cover is taken by the wildfire, as they to lunch at a catastrophic 1782 yen (-95) for now. Another victim of the economy's failings.

I'll see you in a few hours, christ this is gonna be a review and a half at this rate.

>>82012198
Slight addendum cause holy shit.

If this price holds Anycolor will officially lose all their gains from the buyout. Highlighted parts is the day before the buyout and now.

Umm... Guys, I'm all for AnyColor going down, but I'd rather we didn't take out all of Japan in the process.

Don't worry, cover will survive thanks to our greenbacks

>>82014697
Japan's economy is in flames because of their own volition.

>>82014697
Not really a big deal, Japan's economy has been in a nearly continuous state of failure since the 1990s and it's never going to properly recover after two generations of no one being able to afford kids

>>82012198
>>82014697
Yeah, the yen rebounded which is causing foreign capital investment to cash out, it's going to look like this for the next few weeks

>>82014971
Out of curiosity, QRD? Other than the top heavy age demographics, the ridiculous defamation laws, and something about being forced by the west to keep insane fractional reserves or some such, I'm not very familiar with their economic issues.

>>82015199
well, one could start with the yen devaluing, which makes every Japanese poorer.
you also got the government giving infinite money to companies that should've closed long ago, artificially kept alive because the government keeps pouring money, resulting in "zombie companies".
Japan is a case study on itself, it's too long to explain, and I can't remember more things right now, but there's certainly more.

>>82018638
I think anon was trying to say people were talking about it but they didn't understand it. Which skimming over it once more seems to be almost definitely the case. The big takeaways I got from it being that Aoi Sakura and Laplus were good friends in Sakura's past life, and that a former Nijisanji talent is in the exact same team as a current Nijisanji talent, both counts seeming to point away from a potential blacklist and instead pointing towards Sakura and Laplus simply being on the same team because they like eachother.
At least, that's my take on it. I'm not too well versed in the Japanese side of things, as a majority of my Japanese knowledge comes exclusively from erotic ASMR.

>>82018060

Uh no actually its a former niji talent being not only in the same team as a current HOLOLIVE talent, but also in the same even with several of Niji's biggest hitters, thus pointing to any clout nijisanji has evaporating faster than water on mercury

There are mentions of some recent meetings by a manager when they explained why Tob was leaving, which apparently exposed how bad Seth was managing the company and lying. It's probably when (or around when) their Talent Director left, with everyone following over the next 3 days.

Immolated anon here, without a week in review this time, cause holy fuck how I need to take a bit to process what happened to day. You'll get that weekly review tomorrow.

ANYCOLOR BURNT TO A CRISP
Anycolor's recovery pre-lunch was taken by the ashes, as they stock returned to the hellfire closing out at 2269 yen (-161) for the night. They have now officially burned away all their stock gains from the buyback, with a good 95 yen buffer to boot. Granted, this is most definitely due to Japanese Economy imploding upon itself but considering Anycolor's iffy perceived structural integrity it's unclear where they'll go if the economy rebounds.

COVER SET ABLAZE
Cover only positive is that they lost the least, as they close out at a debilitating 1737 yen (-140) for the night. And considering they're lack of urgency regarding placating investors, it's even more uncertain how they'll do.

THE NIKKEI BURNS (AND OTHER NEWS)
The Nikkei ends it's inferno at a devastating 5.81% loss for the night. As new monetary policy from Wednesday shake the country.
Trading Volumes for the night:
Anycolor: 785k
Cover: 5.18 Million

>>82024655
And uh here's Cover to close out the week.

That's all from me tonight. I genuinely don't know how to talk about for this weekly review with what has happened. Regardless, I'll see you for tomorrow.

>>82024655
How does anycolor end up losing more valuation when the total trade volume is less than a 5th of cover?, Does cover just have more shares on the market somehow?, Or are new investors buying in to "soften" the fall so to speak

Update on the Denise "suicide" story:
A Twitter thread shows receipts that Denise had an alt account she linked to her main one, which was active posting about 3 hours ago, well after she supposedly died.
After being exposed, she attempted to change the name and username of her alt.
Her main Twitter account has since been deactivated or deleted.
So basically a sickling faked her suicide for attention and was either so retarded she was caught red handed, or wanted to be caught. Either way, nijisisters are fucking mental sociopaths.
https://x.com/cloud8080469915/status/1819252713516937397

HAHAHAHAHAHA she needs to be in a mental asylum.

I hope all of the retarded nijisisters that bought it hook, line and sinker and were trying to report skeptics get fucked. I don't expect you scum to apologize for enabling this either.
As if nijisisters couldn't get any lower, they resort to faking their death and making thousands of sisters and her friends mourn her, just like one of their Niji idols.
