Nah, I just knew vtubers were going to be mainstream and it was time to jump ship.

[Anonymous No.]

I just watched the concert, it was amazing and the ending fucked my shit up, I can't believe I watched her evolve from a smug derpy avatar in 2017 to flying off into the unknown with angel wings. Fuck. If that's the last we see of her, it was a worthy send off, but fuck. I wish vtubing was more like she had envisioned it, rather than how it has actually evolved.
I'm not fucking coping

[Anonymous No.]

I'm coping just fine. I watched at the very start, stopped until I came back to vtubers in 2020.
And today was the best possible sendoff.

[Anonymous No.]

Im at peace.
Of the 3 send-offs I've had to deal with in the past 2 weeks, this was the most peaceful.
Farewell oyabun, thanks for all the memories.

It was harder watching her try to stay relevant in the Vtuber scene these past 2-3 years after the yab.

Glad she got a bit send off at least.
She's way too talented and they can unironically make the IP-parade work while letting her do other stuff.

I feel nothing. I only watched clips. Nothing after Eilene got me to watch an actual vtuber video until Pikamee.

It's a possibility
Akari was supposed to be huge, but due to health problems and contract problems it severely stunted her numbers.
Siro i'm not even sure, but her lack of streaming yet still apart of her own active corp means she probably got promoted into some management position.

Go watch any popular Holo girl(this is not attack on them, just making a point), pay attention to their superchats before the stream actually starts.

The gap between her concerts and everyone else is just so big. Now every 3D live is going to be mediocre at best. Cover can now sit on their asses like they've been doing and they'll still be on top. The bar is just so much lower without her.

Honestly, you're right and it makes me sad. I always, always had this feeling for nearly 2 years anytime I see the superchats raining in for literally nothing.
I thought it was jealousy but I'm comfortable with my job.
Maybe this just isn't for me anymore. I dunno man, i'm still grieving so maybe it's the depression talking.

That's just how the cycle usually goes anon. A lot of my favorite youtubers from 2010 became streamers because not only is it more profitable, but it's saves them 1-4 hours of editing time. I originally watched vtubers because they were doing the old youtuber formula again, but now even they switched to streaming. The lesson in this whole vtubing experience is youtubers are just naturally don't want to go full-time entertainers and mainly just hope they get popular enough to justify continuing their side hobby.

She started the 2d avatar livestreams trend, something hololive copied (they created Tokino Sora as a response to Kizuna Ai)

[Anonymous No.]

I'm just happy she got to bow out on her own terms, honestly. There's another timeline where she doesn't rally the fanbase, the Multiple AI Project goes off without a hitch, and VTubing turns out even more corporate-centered and manufactured. But she not only fired off a warning shot not to underestimate the human behind the model, but stayed with the brand for years afterward just getting better and better as a performer.
As sad as it is to see Rushia go, for instance, I'd much rather see her channel disappear than get resurrected with a new voice toeing the company line even harder.
>>19188002
Yeah, fuck YouTube for that but I should have started on reps back in 2017 anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19187857
That's just to be expected though, I said this long before Vtubing became a thing but if you're not making big numbers like Markiplier, CoryXKenshin, or the thousands of Minecraft/Fortnite normie youtubers then you're wasting your time.
Zoomers don't care for quality edited videos, that's boomer shit. They only care about your unedited cute/funny reactions, something you can only acquire from streaming. And that's unfortunately where the money is.

Effort does not equal recognition sadly, especially in the internet era, the net has shifted toward easily digestible, easy to react to fluff, so there's no space for what Kizuna and co used to do, never the places that exist purely of clipping shit.

Scripted, pre-recorded videos are not that better either. Kizuna Ai is extremely popular and she a very important part of the industry, but her videos felt too artificial to me. In contrast to someone like Ami Yamato and her blogs. I mean is not like Ai-chan was the one doing all the editing, and writing the scripts anyway. She was also owned corporate entertainer. At least the streaming boom gave the opportunity to some small indies to shine or get recruited by other companies.

The level of movement and effort Kizuna Ai had compared to the vtubers that would follow was really something. I'm glad that I got to see the progenitor of it all retire gracefully.

[Anonymous No.]

theres a bit of despair/sadness when i realize like 90% of the vtubers now are more like vstreamers, they just have an avatar and stream games - its nothing different from a regular twitch streamer

some of them sing or make covers and thats cool i guess but im realizing just how big the generational gap between kizuna and current vtubers is, it makes me a bit sad to think that there will genuinely never be anybody like her because why would they? the current is best and theres 10x more people into vtubing in its current state of vstreaming than actual vtubing

the last live genuinely felt like an actual concert, like an actual virtual idol and it was amazing
i think my only hope is for how other vtubers do moving forward, there is still plenty that seem to actually care for the idol-part and make their own songs, have live concerts, etc and i can only hope for their success

>How are you coping?
You know what? So far the hardest cope to me is not even Kizuna going on hiatus, it's how people really don't give a fuck. Or to be more precise, how the current vtubing audience doesn't give a fuck. Despite /vt/ being a small fraction of it, the fact that there are next to no threads interested in talking about it made me realize where we truly were.

I'd be lying if I say that I was still watching her recently, but she always has been in the back of my mind. I remember thinking to myself back then when she debuted how I was interested to see how far she goes and where the whole vtubing where will go too, and her going on hiatus made me fully realized this: That 1st era has unironically ended for a while.
What made me interested was more the character than the person behind. I liked to joke how it was like watching some anime live, not because she's 2D but because she's ""a super intelligent AI connecting with humans"". And that act being extended with her legitimately doing stuff like appearing in comedy shows, traveling the world as a screen and surprising people far into rural zones with "what the fuck the 2D girl in the screen is talking to us???".

What >>19191074 said is seriously something I considered a while back too:
>i realize like 90% of the vtubers now are more like vstreamers
I'm not here to argue if it's better or not, but what I can say for sure is that it's just not the same, and it certainly doesn't attract the same audience. It's also not what I'm interested in, which is why I understand now why I've lost interest over the past years.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19191732
Kizuna's backstory/lore was incredibly unique.
Now all we get is "hello i am a [magical hybrid] anime girl and i do things normal humans do for some reason"
other than the temporary VA switch, the chinese drama, she also took a huge hit when the fucking retards at youtube removed community captions, she was my first experience actually regularly watching content that wasn't in english.
At least she seemed to end on a high note, and on her own terms.

My head hurts. I've cried a lot repeating the end sequence of the concert. I didn't watch all her recent videos due language barrier but I watched all her concerts live.

I'm going to miss the top notch quality of her lives and I can only hope the team behind the production gets to work on spreading that quality for other notable talents meanwhile AI-chan sleeps.

[Anonymous No.]

I dont care about her general content. There are enough other chuubas that can do covers, games, comedy bits, dances etc decently. But the 3Ds, there’s no one who can pick up that mantle. The industry just simply loses that as a whole. And it’s a structural problem, other companies are too stubborn and stick with their own tech, and can’t throw so much resources at just a single talent without it being unfair to the rest. If a single holo would get a show like that, all the others would have to as well, which is impossible.

Honestly, it perfectly encapsulates the current trendings of vtubing. No one cares about the OG, the one who coined vtuber, the one who really kickstarted the entire thing finally retiring but instead people are talking about some retarded hololive bint getting flack for having a BF and then getting the can for breaching NDA. Maybe it's just because Ai-chan introduced me to Akari-chan, but you can really tell who only cares about the Holo drama and those who care about the medium as a whole.

Reading this thread is cringe, majority of posts shitting on Hololive in favor of Kizuna Ai as if she was some indie, when she's about as corporate as it gets. Every new skit would be an ad for something, and speaking of her concert production, it's insanely good for a reason. One of the sponsors in her final stream was Honda for crying out loud.

It's ironic that she's called herself virtual youtuber, and hololive considers themselves to be virtual idols. It's honestly the other way around.

Forget these trash arguments about authenticity or corporate sponsorships.

Unless some mega corp like Kadokawa wants to turn a LN/manga/anime character into a real personality, but that would be expensive as hell.

I hadn't watched her in almost a year but watching this concert it hit me how long she has been around, and how wholesome and cute her content was. It reminded me of how when she first came out it was like the natural progression of all the virtual idol stuff from Sharon Apple to Miku to now a kind of full fledged digital being interacting with the real world.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't know how to feel man. I never thought I would feel so many things over something like this. I love her so much more than I thought I ever would. She is talented as fuck, I loved her smug expression, and her energy.

The Last Live was far beyond my expectations. Ai's tech was leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else back in 2016 and the passage of time hasn't changed that. Other companies are slacking hard. I really, really wish she hadn't gotten fucked over so hard with the multiple Ai thing.

I think I will always feel a bit bitter that vtuber fans today don't even know who she is or what she did for this industry. Ai deserves a lot more recognition. Its been pointed out already, but the lack of threads about Ai's hiatus is very telling about what the vtuber audience in general is like now. Rushia gets a multi day sticky, but Oyabun gets nothing. Its sad.

I was there when she first started. Her videos were weird and the topics were really not what you would have expected. But that just made them so much more interesting. Vtubers now just feel so goddamn sterile now. Watch any recent debut and they all follow the same exact formula. I would say even now Ai's videos are far more creative in comparison.

Even if she never comes back I'll never forget her. I hope she has a good life.

[Anonymous No.]

Sleeping indefinitely, graduation, or whatever you want to call it is pretty weird. I'm not sure the industry as a whole has really figured it out yet. Or maybe they have and this is just what fans will have to accept as reality. When vtubers retire it's akin to death or worse. Yeah you can follow the real person or hope they reincarnate, but the vtuber is fundamentally different.

In most cases there's little chance of them coming back. No life to lead beyond what's on the screen. No "where are they now?" after they've gone. From the time they show up they're already on full burn until the person behind the curtain calls it quits or they're removed.

There's so many ways she could have gone out, but I think AI-chan made a good decision that keeps the hope alive. Everything she's done leading up to her last live gives strength to the idea that she can defy the odds and that she'll come back. We're lucky she's able to retain her legacy through her youtube channels, her fans have an anime to look forward to, she can "stay connected" through producers that can use cevio ai kizuna, and she's perpetuated the idea that even though her sleep is indefinite she can still wake up.

And she closed it out by giving us the best live the industry has ever seen. Even up to the very end she sets the bar for what is possible and inspires others to do better. So with great sorrow I wish her well, but with greater optimism, and like so many of the vtubers she's touched, I await her return.

Yeah. Honestly as far as vtubing history goes, Kizuna was far more iconic and significant than Rushia ever was. Kizuna coined the fucking term and pioneered this niche, proving that vtubing has a place and a future on the internet, allowing further growth and investment in the field. To top it all off she left with grace, one of the most dignified graduations for a vtuber I've ever seen. Yet just because she's tangentially related to China she's completely forgotten and despised. She's the veteran OG and deserves a fond farewell at the very least.

I wonder how many of her viewers are going through a similar phase in their life.
I left my job in order to discover what I wanted to do with my life at the same time too...

Sometimes you need some perspective and to stop doing the things you do to understand what's really important to you.
From the clone saga and what happened after I could tell that she had issues inherited from her childhood which created an unhealthy set of beliefs and caused her to destroy the dream she aspired to make a reality.

Her dream of Kizuna AI was a projection of the honest and happy self that she dreamed of having.
The fact that she is taking time off means that she became more honest with her own desires.
She will be able to learn a lot about herself and do a lot of progress in her time of recovery.

I hope she can come back healthy and show us her real self one day.

If she wants to recover from that bad event and memory and become popular again I can share the magic to do it.
First she has to become the person that would not have allowed that bad event to happen.
I don't know how much she recovered, but the key is to revisit her past and imagine a better outcome to her traumatic events.
This includes recognizing her family issues and giving up on her desire to have perfect parents.

After her recovery, she can do an emotional stream where she shares her emotions related to her past issues and shows that she changed and learned how to be healthy. However this time instead of hiding behind Kizuna AI her real self, she should show her real self with no restraints.
That should get her back some popularity.

She could have quit Kizuna AI back in the whole clone saga or just stick to doing concerts as the clones did their thing.
But she chose to separate from upd8 and continue on Kizuna's legacy. But she's still human and had to take a lot of shit with no break at all.
The fact that this is still officially a "break" and not an official graduation is enough to show she still loves Kizuna.

[Anonymous No.]

Who?

[Anonymous No.]

only reason ai failed was because she was more of a variety actor compared to the newer generation who leans heavily towards the GFE or at least partially attempts to do so. Like even if you wanted to throw money at Ai, she barely streams or do anything because she is so busy managing her own company and setting up concerts, etc. Other chuubas can just concentrate on streaming and let the staff handle it, but when you are part of the staff, how do you even manage at that point.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19255948
This isn't a translation but from what I remember
She talked about how grateful she was for these 5 years as Kizuna Ai, how we helped so many of her dreams to come true. She alluded to there being some things she regretted, which I suspect was referring to the clone saga, and mentioned there were times where things were difficult for her and that it wasn't always just happiness. She expressed her hesitations with choosing whether to go to sleep or not, and that while there's lots of things that could have happened if she kept going, there's things that will happen because she's leaving too. She promised she would come back someday better than ever with her new update.

Overall was very bittersweet.

>>19256133
Thanks. Yes, I distinctly remember when she really started to break down is when she brought up some hardships that happened behind the scenes since that's what broke me. I'll have to watch it again. When I regain the mental fortitude.

On a lighter note the crowdfund around Ai's last live exceeded its goal by almost 2000%.

If it makes you or anyone else feel better, it really sounded like she didn't want to be done with Kizuna Ai. She said that there were still more things she still wanted to do and achieve and that she wasn't completely satisfied about ending it here, and she was very insistent about the wording of coming back someday, moreso than you'd expect if it was really just trying to soften the graudation.

From her speech combined with the ig post from her voice it feels like she really loves Kizuna Ai but is both kind of burned out and wants to be able to grow herself by doing other things. Hard to say whether the stars will align for her to return, but there migh really be hope for a glorious comeback several years down the line. That's the feeling I got anyway.

Absense makes the heart grow fonder. Kizuna hasn't actually been gone at all for the past 6 years unless you count the clone arc. And it sounds like she has some personal demons to conquer herself as a person.

I hate what Hololive has turned into but what killed Kizuna was the multiple AI shit, its a good example of not letting rumors out of control.
I do wonder about as world where that multiple AI thing hadnt happened and Hololive was still as big as it is, but its just a pipe dream.

Susan is also chiefly to blame for the "low quality; high quantity" meta, as youtube is outright hostile to creators that don't make content regularly and don't utilize clickbait keywords.
There's a reason vtubing is getting significantly more traction on Twitch, although they have their own problems as a platform.

Her graduation has really made me realize that I don’t think most vtubers are for me anymore. The funnest days I had were when kizuna AI and Vtuber pre recorded videos were at their peak. There’s something about streaming that just isn’t as interesting.

Kizuna at the start : "I want to figure out the reason I was born."
Kizuna right before her sleep: "To be honest, I still haven't figured out why I was born, but... I'm happy that I was"

FUCK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Streaming is really boring to me and I don't get why it's so popular. I don't really want to listen to someone ramble for hours while doing shit. A compiled edit of a stream after the fact with all the dead time and unentertaining bits cut out would always be better to me than an actual stream

Im really surprised non of you faggot shit on activ8. If not for respect to non-chan and her legacy through Kizuna i would shit and go on rampage with that KZN bullshit.
WHAT.THE.FUCK.WAS.THAT!?? That shit was fucking souless as fuck and they decides to release it at her fricking last live!? I understand if vsinger like KAF has a cevio but giving Kizuna one WHEN she retired/sleep/whatever is a massive dick move. It's as if they were saying that they dont need non-chan anymore.
Man.... fuck activ8! That souless corpo should get more shit than it ever given to. People and you fucker are legit retarded when you and them think "everythings okay cause upd8 is gone~". How fucking retarded can people be to fell for such an obvious trickery!
And yeah all the og team you love that's been behind Ai-chan and non-chan are all gone by now. So fuck you if you still support that black company.
I hope they at least give non-chan what she deserved and i hope she puts all those money to good use and live a happy life she deserved.
Lastly, ffs love-chan, go away from that shitty corpo now before it's too late!

Streaming is a quantity over quality market. The market for entertainment is split right down the middle right now. One half is TikTok shit, where people want to binge watch 2 hours worth of 15 second clips. The other half is people that want to watch 5 hour streams where the learn every little thing about the person but really get nothing else out of it.

The thing they both have in common though is low production cost and value. It is such a weird time to work in the entertainment industry where some random asshole that just moves awkwardly in front of the camera and lip syncs for 10 seconds at a time can be as famous with people as a movie star.

It's not soulless. It's not a replacement for Kizuna but it's a way she can stay connected with us.
I'm a vocaloidfag so I was happy about the announcement. KZN obviously can't replace non-chan, that wouldn't even make sense. Releasing a CeVIO is about keeping up fan engagement because people can use Kizuna's voice to make their own songs.

KZN and the anime are just ways meant to keep excitement about Kizuna going while she sleeps, so that she still has a chance to make a comeback. It'd be easier to do if there are still people using KZN or caring about the anime.

People are not bitch because the thread is about the love of Ai-chan, not how her company did everything it could to make her irrelevant in the industry she helped build. I hate them too, but at least they gave her the best send off any vtuber has gotten.

KZN isn't a replacement. That's not how voiceroids work.
It's more of a memento. Something that lets you keep a part of Ai-chan around with you even when she's asleep. KZN is unable to create content on her own, because she's not an actual person.
