My take on Fauna
>>90816770
>At this point I'm fairly convinced that Shondo and the rest of that clique convinced her and probably Gura too that the grass is truly greener on the other side and it got into her head. Like when a woman has a boyfriend who's perfect, her friends will shit on him constantly out of jealousy and try to convince her to separate from him. The gleeful tweets from Shondo were pretty suspicious.

>>90802797
It especially doesn't go in news retard. Economic Anchor is specifically about merch, stop spamming your shit.

>>90802242

Seriously, why making anchors if people are ultra-retarded and don't use them properly...

>>90817260
It's already in the OP too

More reason to NOT add it then.

>>90815428

"Disgusting and abusive" Vreverie, having been so bad to have at one point lost all but one of its talents and having been badmouthed by everyone who left, has been of intense interest to Kuro for a long time now. It failed to get linked to Kuro in the last thread, so I'll allow it.

Hopefully we'll finally get some details.

All I'm hearing is excuses to not call prople retarded for not reading for 5 seconds.

>>90820973
I never said it doesn't go to Kuro. But also link news properly. And don't anchor if it's already in there.

>>90820325
>Post about Merch
Thank you for outing as Pagpag with thar ESL level, faggot.

>>90821124
>Only stockanon uses it
whenever there's new Sayu merch I anchor it there

>>90821378
Merch doesn't make any sense in economics no matter how much you're seething about it. There is nothing economy related about a merchdrop. And every celebration comes with merch so might as well link birthdays and anniversaries there too.

>>90821225
True, it's also pretty big news, but it got linked to /news/ and not Kuro in last thread after the final round up was done with no fanfare. Whoever reposted it probably saw that it came after the last round up and assumed it'd thus been missed.

Ctrl+F is your friend folks.

>>90821497
NTA but...
>ECONOMICS ANCHOR
>Post about Merch...
Read the descriptor. That's where merch goes.

>>90821759
I don't follow rules I don't agree with. Practically every anniversary comes with merch, collabs also. Amd at that point anything could be economics, which is objectively retarded.
You can just link it there for me like the niji guy does.

>>90821497
>might as well link birthdays and anniversaries there too
That's not a bad idea actually, they do tend to clutter the news anchor.

>>90802242
Any news on who all is keeping their IP, if anyone? Kinda wonder if Vrev will make one last ditch effort to redeem itself by letting everyone keep their characters. Always lets you know just how black a corpo is.

>>90823056
So what do you think should be labeled as news if anniversaries and collaborations don't belong there

>>90823766
It's news, but it's also whitenoise. There's been talk of putting them in their own section in the OP before. Wouldn't be a bad idea for them to have their own anchor, though it's true, the "Economics" anchor wouldn't be exactly intuitive.

>>90821400
>whenever there's new Sayu merch I anchor it there
I anchor every merch news in the News anchor lmao.

>>90823766
econ news is still news in the end
>>90824284
shouldn't it all be in econ except what's more notable to vtubing as a whole
the 2348th gamersupps sponsor, con details, and standard merch drops go there--all the usual expected normal business chatter
someone bagging a toyota collab or something is still main headline worthy
editor can always move them around in the write up

>>90825532
The Economics anchor does provide a one stop central shopping place for all the merchphiles, so it wouldn't be so bad if one were to link BOTH News and Economics anchors, and it would save one from getting pestered by organizational Nazis. Same with NijiEN.

Though if someone anchor corrects you, please, for the love of God, don't feel the need to REPLY to it. Let it go, and let it be one and done, at best mentally noted for next time. I mean, I love not having to bump the thread for awhile, but these thirty post "NO U" chains about Niji and shit do get old.

Here's my two cents:

>News Anchor
Needs to stay because duh.
>OC Anchor
Could reasonably go or be consolidated. When it was originally made, there was a lot more OC, but now the OC we do get is either made for the OP or tagged to the bump anchor.
>Economics Anchor
Valuable as a way to consolidate merch drops, money-focused news, stocks, advertisements, and other things that may not be worthy of main headlines, but are still important.
>Board Events
Important even if it's frequently ignored. While there is a risk of this anchor becoming a hub for shilling events nobody gives a rat's ass about, removing this anchor would be a disservice to the legacy of /news/ as inspired by the /vt/ League's ability to bring thread cultures and knowledge together. This is institutional foundation that would be a disservice to remove.
>Kuro Anchor
>Rrat Anchor
While it was important to keep these two separate once upon a time, I believe that consolidating them would be beneficial at this point. We don't get enough genuinely Kuro news of substance that doesn't transition to actual News for it to justify having a standalone anchor. The rrat anchor should be held to a higher standard as well, which a merge with the Kuro anchor could bring.
>Bump Anchor
Most of the posts to this anchor get deleted anyway, so no big deal.

>>90827494
Rrat and Kuro serve very different purposes, and we've tried axing them before with disastrous results. Arguably Kuro is the only thread that does any actual good, making buyers beware and warning vtubers what to look out for a like, however much controversy it tends to generate, while the rrat anchor tends to coral things nicely. There's always some overlap with Kuro and News, and occasionally with News and Rrat, but linking both is fine.

The bump anchor is good for newbs coming in who want to bump and may not realize that they should delete their posts, and it provides a bit of comical OC from time to time. (I miss AI bumper, but it is true, the thread sometimes moves too fast.)

It is a shame the OC anchor doesn't get much attention.

There's no real need to fuck with things though. There's not so many anchors that it's a real burden on the OP (I can say having baked a couple of times). If anything we could do with one or two more, but they get used often enough and there's enough of them that they usually serve their purpose. There's no real benefit to removing anchors at this point, especially given how tried and tested the current layout is.

>>90800386

>>90828089
(NTA) The only change I could think of is combining rrat and kuro, but I'm not sure how to combine those without making the thread somewhat worse. I think our current anchor layout is good, though, although I share some other anons' opinions in this thread that dual-linking economics/news is a good idea going forward.

>>90830083
idk I think most of the kuro shit that DOES get posted are just rrats

>>90817165
While technically true, the economics anchor only really gets stock reports these since time immemorial and people just dump merch drops into news

>>90827494
>The rrat anchor should be held to a higher standard as well
Anon you an I both know that trying to hold anyone here to any kind of standards is a fool's errand, our resident nijinig is still using the thread as a dump for his catalog shitposts

>>90830388
Only these days, and that's mostly because of the resident nijinig trying to pass off his catalog shitposts as news

>>90830388
I don't see many rrats connected to Kuro normally. Think I saw the first few in a real long time yesterday (mostly just someone being anti), and some rrats are shady enough or involve shady enough companies that they should be dual linked. What I see a lot more often is solely News anchored stuff that should also be connected to Kuro.

>>90830817
Kuro is for verified kuro practices, not a tag for a company, or a company you think is kuro, because at that point everything would go in the kuro post

>>90800304
Oopsy, the schedule card and splash screen I had made for CorpoCar World Series season 6 had Arial Yuriko on it, but VReverie has dissolved, so have a REM Kanashibari instead. Also, preliminary dates for all 15 rounds this month have been set for this series. I'll have the waiting room up on Thursday night for the first three rounds

Also, I've decided to invoke a lot of chaos and expand the roster for the Indie Lights 4th series in February/March from the originally intended size of 24 drivers, then 30 drivers, to now 32 drivers, because good grief, multiple corpos dissolving and its talents going indie

>>90830990
There are certain companies, such as Wactor/911inc, that are so infamous that any actions they take are of Kuro watchers' interest, and it often turns out that even the most benign of actions from them have dire consequences. And of course any crooked move from even companies generally perceived as benign are of interest as well. The guy may have just been an anti and abusing the tag, but he was right to link forcing someone to work while they have COVID to Kuro, at least, even if most of the rest of it was tribal rrat nonsense.

>>90800323

I mean, knowing niji asked VA to end their career to sign with them and though someone would actually do it, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have let her do this.

>>90836682
Considering what is she saying her and that the Fes is in febraury, and considering exam months and stuff, it wouldn’t surprise me this means until next summer.
If there will be a NijiEN to get back at, it will be a surprise. Then again she is one which wouldn’t mind a merge.

If the merger rrat is to be believed, then it's likely that she'll stay in and fuse with the JP talents; in this sense she's in a similar position to Meloco (although the latter was a VTA dodger, unlike Petra). >>90839011 Presumably she'll get out of classes in March/April although I don't know the details of JP uni schedules. It will be interesting to look back at that time and see what has changed. If anything, given Petra's stronger connections with (JP) management, this is a pretty strong indicator that NijiEN won't be dissolved before she comes back--or at least that they haven't planned an earlier dissolution at this moment.

Also, as one of the anons who (occasionally) does TL work, I only can work from written stuff, and I would never trust a machine transcription of spoken Japanese (especially [1] on such a touchy subject and [2] Miko).

Big Boss anon here, it is Wednesday my dudes.

COVER TAKES A STEP DOWN
Cover has a rather neutral day as they take a small drop down to 2391 yen (-17). Performance for the most part saw them skirt below the line for the most part outside of the start of the day, where they over-corrected from hitting their lowest. They would see moments in the greens, but ultimately was futile in the end. They now see a 267 yen loss for the week.

ANYCOLOR FLOUNDERS
Anycolor continues to to make the 20XX's their home as they slip down to 2072 yen (-21) for the day. This marks their 3rd lowest closing price, beaten out by May 30th (2085 yen) and August 5th (1959 yen) respectively. Performance was for the most part stable, sticking around the 2070-80s outside of a dip before lunch. They now see a nice 69 yen loss for the week.

OTHER
The gap is now 319 yen between the two companies.
The NIKKEI has it rough, but eeks out a 0.07% gain.

While that is a smart strategy, I wish she stopped calling her assistants "managers". Not to diminish her work in any capacity, but Raechit is also an assistant, not a manager, because she's under Sayu, not her boss. I'd assume this new spot was opened to ease Rae's workload, she runs the website and handles most of Sayu's merch after all.

Mythic Talent announced Beyond the Vale, "a new universe starring Mythic creators and vtubers."
https://x.com/MythicTalent/status/1864424202222358783
The partnered company helping fulfill this project, Storygrounds, is an as-yet unlaunched webcomic platform.

This suggests that Beyond the Vale is a webcomic, however that isn't confirmed.
FalseEyeD, a member of Mythic, discussed the project on his stream.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2318548724?t=01h47m40s
He names several participating vtubers including CyYu, Nyanners, Filian, Lord Aethelstan, Saruei, Shylily and Silvervale.
He also states that more information will come during the Vtuber Awards, and that he is specifically not allowed to discuss what Beyond the Veil actually is yet, as "they gotta let the ink dry on a few deals."

Nijisanji arrests an Anon:

DL:
>Notice Concerning the Arrest of a Suspect on Charges of Obstruction of Business against our company. Thank you very much for your continued support of the virtual liver groups "NIJISANJI" and "NIJISANJI EN".

>We are writing to inform you that an individual who has been making threats and obstructing business activities against ANYCOLOR Inc. and its members (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") has been arrested on suspicion of obstructing business activities against the Company.

>The Suspect, while indicating the name of a person whom he claims to hold a grudge against, had been repeatedly sending out messages via an anonymous bulletin board and the Company's inquiry counter, falsely claiming that the person was related to the Company, and stating that he would do harm to the Company and its LIBERTY LIVERS.

>After becoming aware of the damage, the Company immediately began cooperating with the police and other agencies and took legal action from both criminal and civil perspectives. We will continue to cooperate with the police and other authorities to pursue legal responsibility against the suspect and create an environment in which fans can enjoy our content with peace of mind.

>In addition, we have received a great deal of information from fans about the suspect's anonymous message on the bulletin board. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the cooperation of our fans and ask for your continued support.

>In consideration of the impact on the investigation by the police and other investigative agencies, we are limiting the information we report and the scope of information we disclose. We ask for your understanding that, in principle, we will not be able to respond to individual inquiries regarding this matter. In particular, we ask for your understanding that we will not be able to respond to any inquiries regarding this matter (including any communication on social networking services or comments made during the broadcast), nor will we be able to respond to any inquiries regarding the investigation of this matter. In particular, we ask that you refrain from contacting our LIVERs (including any communication on social networking sites, comments during distribution, etc.), spreading false information without basis (including expressions that determine the damage situation or victim based on unclear information), or making false statements. We ask that you refrain strictly from such activities.

Reigning theory goes that this maybe the leaker that released info to Korekore and it maybe an internal issue less to related AnyColor and more to YAB.

Uncle Dane anon here, we got a Thursday performance to look at today

COVER STEPS ON THE GAS
Cover once again sees a massive jump as they cut their losses to close out at 2512 yen (121) for the day. Performance was relatively stable, sticking around the high 2400s before a rise in the last hour to keep them in that 2500 zone. Cover's week has now gone from a disaster 353 yen loss to a sizable but manageable 146 yen loss so far.

ANYCOLOR STEPS UP
Anycolor is still below 2100 but at least gets a step closer as they close out at 2091 yen (19) for the day. Performance was rather erratic before lunch, but would hold steady afterwards. This modest performance puts them back close to where they were before yesterday with a 50 yen loss for the week.

CORRECTION
A error was made in the last report. Anycolor's closing price of 2072 from yesterday was the 2nd lowest, not the third lowest.
A deduction of Stock Watch anon's salary has been made to make him atone for his crimes.

OTHER
The gap widens further between the two, as it is now 421 yen
The NIKKEI sees a small 0.3% gain
Trading Volumes to go with some upcoming drama
Anycolor: 537k
Cover Corp: 5.45 Million

>>90923696
And here's Anycolor for the day.

And kinda not Economy but still about Anycolor, part of me is wondering if those alleged leaks are about to cause another shit storm. Especially if the higher-ups decide they can't ignore it anymore.

Anyway, that's enough speculation and paranoia. Keep a cool head out there and let's finish off this week. Stay safe out there.

>>90923808
they can still ignore it, it will blow over because it doesn't matter. NijiEN doesn't have much of a reputation to start with now. they've gotten this far with ignoring Luca's bullshit too.
if anything they will probably go after Twisty for leaking info that makes them look bad. sisters won't even care, they don't like her either.

Drops another tidbit from 2023
>Vchiban went to a convention who tried to tell them that they had been paid when no payment was made
>this convention *also* were friends with the Studio Cell guy
>it took legal threats for them to get paid
>apparently the same guy also made their booth for A-Kon
>when announcing their booth at A-Kon, they showed a drawing of a booth because they didn't have any pictures of the real thing
>the booth which was supposed to be soundproofed and cooled because there would be PCs running in their for their avatars, was instead a ramshackle "deathbox" made of wood that was too hot to be inside
>instead of helping them take the booth down after the con, he took a friend to Six Flags
And they will apparently be discussing this incident in more detail on their upcoming podcast
Her and Shia both emphasize that "this is just 2023"
>Buff pulls up the statement that A-Kon has been put into forfeiture by the state of Texas, saying "remember when this happened?"
>"Gee, I wonder why"
>they gave Candii's hotel room away, causing her to have to sleep on the floor
>for some reason con staff thought she worked at the convention and kept trying to get her to help set up

So there's nothing that can confirm anything, good job for creating a nothingburger that will only protect someone from actual criticism if shit was/is real. If they want to be taken seriously with this shit they need to disclose who they are or some actual real proof that people can find publicly.

Menace to debut new outfit:
https://x.com/menmakii/status/1864850460697596223

>>90972953
He dropped a bunch of censored proof of identity she sent him and new screen shots between him and the talent. Short of her blasting on her official account, risking a year's worth of earnings and management deleting it anyway in addition to being sued, this is the best she could do. Even the indies affected are likely afraid to come forward for fear of being sued - it sure shut Warmonic up real quick.

>>90972727
>Niji management has not taken any action, allegedly saying "we don't want him to retaliate, so we won't want to tell him that you spoke with us".
Crazy that Niji will practically attempt to murder an ex female liver on air, but is too afraid to take any action against a twink with just over 300K subs after two plus years.

>>91008609
>this is the best she could do
The best she can do is not proof enough. What she needed to leak was something that could be actually traced back to him or nijisanji by any retard with a computer. What she did was provide enough context to the accused to trap her with him in the same room. It's like if a wife started spreading specific rumors to the neighborhood by leaflet without being seen that she was being beaten by her husband, and now her husband has the leaflet in his hands and has locked the door to the house and cut off all of the phones.

>>91009118
>What she needed to leak was something that could be actually traced back to him or nijisanji by any retard with a computer.
Such as?

>>91009272
I dont know, something. But that's not what we got.

>>91009392
There wouldn't be anything, that's the problem. This is just desperation after Niji and Aster backed her into a corner.

Sadly, I'm sure Niji could threaten Discord or ask Aster to get proof of exactly who she is, and it's not as if we don't all already know, so likely this will backfire on her. Aster is a tried and tested part of "the family", while she's the problematic newbie, so we know who they'll punish.

>>91009719
Then if there's nothing she either needs to go scorched earth or leave, or both. Sometimes that's the only way to break a story, especially if you have nothing tangible.

>>91009719
>could threaten Discord
lol, no.

>>91009857
Discord caves under the slightest pressure when someone comes asking for logs, though asking Aster would be the simpler solution - though I'm also sure they already know.

>>91009848
Don't thinks he can without risking a lawsuit and crippling debt - which may happen anyway.

Vesper Watch anon here, it's a week in review!

COVER REBOUNDS
Cover manages to escape the Red Sea of losses as they climb up to 2537 yen (25) for their final price of the week. Performance overall saw a gradual fall for Cover before lunch, before recovering at a faster rate right after. A encouraging sign especially considering the state of the economy from this time.

COVER'S WEEK IN REVIEW
Cover's week closes out at a 121 yen loss for the week. However it shouldn't be ignored how well Cover has responded to their initial fall, having recovered 232 yen after their collapse on Monday. Still, it's not guaranteed that Cover can fully recover just yet as next week will only make things more uncertain with Anycolor's Q2 report. So don't be surprised if nothing is settled.

ANYCOLOR
Anycolor finally manages to escape from the clutches of 20XX as they close out at 2110 yen (19) for the week. Performance overall was rather stable after a hour and a half, where they barely deviated from the 2110s themselves.

ANYCOLOR WEEK IN REVIEW (ALSO Q2 REPORT PREVIEW)
Anycolor sees a 31 yen loss for the week this time around, somehow still holding up in that 2100-2200 status quo despite languishing in the 20XXs for a significant amount of time.

However the big thing to talk about will be the Q2 report coming up on the 11th next week (or 10th depending where you live.) While I currently don't intend to do a full deep dive on what they did in Q2 due to time constraints, it'll be hard to gauge how they'll do. Anycolor's forecast has them making 10-10.5 billion yen this quarter which is something they've never done. Hell, they've never even hit 9 Billion yen before.
However Anycolor does have a X-Factor this time around, they claim in their Q1 report that "several hundreds of million yen" were being deferred to the next quarter or later, although how much specifically for Q2 is uncertain. But at the same time, that may be wasted on trying to make up for NijiEN's decreases in revenues. Which speaking of, still has a very possible chance of bleeding revenue although it's hard to say if that'll happen still. It will be solely up to JP for the most part to make sure they hit those numbers.
Regardless, even if they don't hit those numbers do not be surprised to see them pull a dividend's announcement or another buyback. Although, I won't be surprised if this buyback/dividend sees even less success compared to the last two attempts this year. Anycolor is looking more and more stagnant as the days go on, and this fiscal year overall is looking to be a make or break moment for their future.

OTHER
The gap between the two widens slightly, with Cover having a 427 yen advantage on their competitor.
The NIKKEI only sees red with a 0.77% loss
Trading Volumes to send you off:
Anycolor: 558k
Cover Corp: 4.73 Million

>>91011108
And here's our last graph for the week.

Next week is a big one, will Anycolor see record revenue this Q2? Who knows, but I expect some fuckery in some form to happen so don't expect big crashes unfortunately.

Regardless, enjoy the weekend. I'm gonna go play some gacha slop so stay safe.

>>91010040
News to me. I had a friend get logs from a *deleted* account without even threatening to sue - though maybe that's just the US. Either way, Niji either knows or can easily find out, with or without them. If they don't suddenly 180 their behavior, she's cooked - though I suppose there's also a slight chance they'll just ignore the whole thing altogether.

>>91012008
You have rights to your own account, as legally thats how it is, you can request your own logs. In fact you can ask discord to delete every single message you have ever sent if you use a couple things in order to pull up every message ID of every message you have sent.

Kinda a nothingburger of news but idolEN and ES has no distinction anymore, just idol now. It seems also to cement the fact that Brave has no plans to assimilate it into one of their other branches like V4Mirai which is managing idol now so it is probably now a proper division.

>>90963659
>False making me do Due Diligence to backcheck him.
At least he's actually doing something himself for once.

>>91036291
There's nothing he gave that you can even look at the background for, his entire video throws allegations with no proof that the proof he has is concrete.

>>91036382
He provides proof of identity of his contact, if censored. She in turn has inside takes on the story. Just have to assume he wouldn't spend time making all that up. I mean, he has the resources among his Discord, but I don't see him risking his reputation, such as it is, on that, given that it's pretty much all he has and what would happen both to it and his whole cause, were it all found to be fake.

One could find inconsistencies and conflicts within the story as well as ballpark verify authenticity of some of the images with various sources, though it's true, I can't see much opportunity to backcheck beyond that. Still, it's about as much as one could hope to glean from a situation like this, given the precarious position the leaker would be in.

>>91035617
>no mention of idolHE

>>91036382
I know this is going to upset some people, but it is standard practice in journalism to protect sources. "spoke anonymously as they were not authorized to speak to the press" is one of the most common phrases in actual news articles for good reason.
The allegations and potential for the story to be true is by itself newsworthy. The Due Diligence is making sure there isn't contradictory info, bias, or intentional misinformation mixed up in the expose.
It's easy to lie on the internet because nobody checks anything. If you actually do research it is relatively easy to disprove a lie, or at least destabilize it.

If it ends up being made up, we can always issue a correction. I'll take my lumps on that one if it ends up being wrong.

>>91037563
Yeah, and those stories have evidence that can be confirmed no matter who leaked the information because people can find if after they know it exists. Discord screenshots are also not proof of anything as much as we wish they could be. I could make a second discord account, make a server, and pose as two different people pretty easily.

>>91038451
What part of "the existence of allegations and the claim itself is newsworthy" was unclear

>>91038597
Because that leads to what the current mainstream news media is, speculation and allegations and nothing concrete leading to distrust in a news organization or group. If we reported on allegations as being true then this place would end up no better than the catalog.

>>91038865
then let's wait until false gets a c&d from the lawyers

>>91039075
Sure, that would be something concrete to report on.

>>91039075
>>91038865
We reported on Raziel's allegations and the previous screenshots about Aster, despite those having shaky proof.
I don't think it's out of line to report on this, as it's a serious claim that could get False in trouble should it be fabricated. Niji would have an actual defamation case, not just a "he hurt our fee-fees" JP-only case, were it to be revealed that there was nothing going on. You also have to consider that while he's largely seen as self-aggrandizing and farming /news/ and /vt/ for content, False DOES have a positive reputation outside of this site, which he would be putting at risk by intentionally posting something he couldn't verify. He not only seems to have done his DD, but also posted his process of verification. Just because >we can't see the screenshot of the Liver following him on Twitter doesn't mean the story is fake.

I intend to put a bunch of qualifiers on it, but the allegations alone do seem to be valid and lacking in obvious signs of fabrication, on top of it being an expansion on a story /news/ previously covered. Thus, worthwhile reporting.

>>91038865
Nta, but they don't need to be reported as "being true", they can just be reported as "X [credibly] accuses Y of Z."
Ultimately this is just a 4chan thread and not a court of law, we're not convicting this dude of anything. It's not that serious. People can choose to believe it or not.
It's also been said that the goal of the kuro anchor is partly to warn people of predatory bullshit. This fits that case perfectly, given that he is allegedly sexpesting indies and fans. They should know so they can at least look out for it.

>>91039488
i can tell you as someone who has had contact with false for stories in the past he keep legal representation on hand that he hired during the MSM saga and kept on ever since. Anything he reported on was likely double checked by his legal team, meaning it's very likely all legally valid information
