for which one is better in general, there's only numberfagging, and anyone trying to apply any other standard can be beaten down with numbers.
for which one is better for you, just ask
- if a niji and a holo are about to start streaming, which one will I tend to watch?
- if it's dead hours and I go looking for something to watch, where will I start?
- if I'm watching 1hr into a holo stream and a niji starts streaming, will I pull up or switch to the new stream? or vice versa?
As an EOP how would you rank
a. Holos playing AmongUS in JP
b. Niji playing AmongUs in EN
c. Your oshi playing a game you're not that interested in but with moderate zatsudan potential
d. Previous, but a random holo's playing the game
for me it's c > a > b > d

for me, niji is like a Walmart just outside of a slightly classy mall. I'm always going to the mall first, but if I come out empty handed, sometimes, maybe I'll swing by the Walmart and see what they have. Here's a funny moment with Niji:
https://youtu.be/VAYuuUtOsRY?t=1073 (setup)
https://youtu.be/VAYuuUtOsRY?t=1268 (payoff)

Comes down to preference, I suppose. I prefer many Nijisanji over most of Hololive due to their greater variety and versatility. Holos feel very safe, samey and mediocre to me. For example, Hololive karaoke streams reveal just how dependent on autotune most of them are for their covers and live shows, whereas Niji singers like Chima or Toko never struggle with pitch or power, and can deliver great performances on the fly and unassisted.

Goes for most other things. Nijisanji's gamers play better, their stage shows are better, their comedy routines and 3d collabs are funnier and more interesting, they just generally seem to host more capable talent overall. They have actual musicians and composers among their ranks, which I find fantastic. All of this began to matter quite a bit more to me once I realized that the idol gachikoi routine Hololive relies on just didn't do it anymore.

>> No.306923

Nijisanji has better tech, Hololive's tech is somehow behind commercially available vtuber tracking technology. Even their 3D tech is pretty shit, they can't even properly track objects in their hands or do complex movements.

But Hololive has better company culture and less internal drama, or at least they don't air their dirty laundry in public as often. Hololive not being a black company goes a long way to building goodwill with the fanbase, unlike Nijisanji. No one even calls themselves a "Nijisanji fan" they just like individual vtubers that are part of Nijisanji.

I'm of the opinion most of Nijisanji's (female) talents kinda wish they joined Hololive instead, for both financial and cultural reasons.

Few people do, much less than Hololive, but that's because it's just not possible to keep up, or even care about, over 100+ people. The idea of 箱推し is an outdated relic from idol culture anyways. Once you get past the idea of having to care about every single member of a group, it becomes pretty easy to continue narrowing down to what you can manage/still find fun to watch.

Don't see how that's a bad thing, though. In fact, it seems much healthier than fawning over a brand and feeling obligated to follow all of their talent. Nijisanji employs a wider variety of streamers, it's fine to pick a handful as your favourites and ignore the rest.

>>307074
You don't have to trade, the streamers already exist and put out content free of charge. Just start following them and drop the Holos you don't care for. I don't consider myself a Hololive fan, but I'll still happily check out a Roboco stream every now and then. There are also plenty of Nijis I have no interest in, such as Elu.

>> No.307327

>Don't see how that's a bad thing,
It's a bad thing because that's how you get fans of one niji attacking other nijis, like that time one niji got shitcanned for singing the "nijisanji song" because she hasn't been in niji long enough to sing it or some shit.

This is kinda funny with the recent development that Hololive changed from an Idol company to an Entertainment company. They obviously realized how much more lucrative entertainers are over idols. They don't even require their talents to do idol concerts anymore, with most of the cast not participating in the upcoming Bloom concert.

Even before that though many of Hololive's talents weren't idols or even pretending to be. Especially their recent branches have shifted further away from being "idols", Botan for example can't sing or dance, and Noel seems completely tone deaf.

>>307257
>Don't see how that's a bad thing, though. In fact, it seems much healthier than fawning over a brand and feeling obligated to follow all of their talent.
I'm not saying Hololive's model is objectively better from all angles, it's pretty exhausting as a fan, but it's certainly better for encouraging fans to spread out the money and viewership.

From the perspective of someone looking to join one over the other you'd be much more financially secure in Hololive because the talents support eachother and the fanbase supports weaker talents. Look at fucking Anya and all the superchats she got to buy her a new PC after her horrendous debut.

>>307327
Yeah this too, Hololive talents don't tolerate their viewers anti'ing other talents. Niji's antis are almost entirely other Niji fans, and it gives them a really bad reputation as a fanbase and company. Like the Roa/Meiro drama that tanked both of their careers as fans went to war with eachother, and made Nijisanji look really bad for not defending either of them or handling it internally.

>> No.307632

>>306923
Less internal drama and yet it has 10 graduations while Nijisanji has more than 150 members and 25 graduations. So you can see how overall in their numbers, hololive has more.

Also hilarious about the not being a black company when you don't know anything that happens internally.

Most people here don't know Japanese, and a small amount are also unaffected by the human tendency toward tribalism, so getting a good answer here is unlikely. The fact we're generalizing several dozens of talents is also an issue, none of us have the time to know them all. That said, I lean towards 2434 since I'm only in it for the entertainment - not the girlfriend experience - and as a variety show type deal they're just better. There's more variety to the games they play (APEX aside) and they have 3D collabs all the time on the main channel, while holo 3D still isn't utilized enough. I also like how their concerts are formatted more, it's more exciting compared to hololive's. Add to the fact that more livers means more niches to catch anyone's interest, and I'd probably say nijisanji wins overall.

I don't want to say they win in every way, though. If you mainly want idol stuff, of course hololive wins. And hololive minecraft draws in tons of people, you can almost approach these streams like a TV program with their own ups and downs and mini-arcs. The nijisanji MC server seems a lot less active. Apart from that, I dunno. Asacoco used to be decent but it reincarnated into reddit meme review which is unwatchable. The amount of OC music produced is good, though.

I don't really see how any of these are the company's fault? You can cite the Mel drama if she had actually graduated, but she came back to the job. The Aloe one is probably the one that they handled the worst, but fans and talents fully supported her, and her genmates even tried to convince her to come back.

Pointing to Roa/Meiro specifically is like cherry picking how Holo CN fans are constantly attacking Holo JP members. Roa/Meiro was by far the largest drama Nijisanji had in the past year. Their fans originally went to "war" by noticing that Meiro was using the same tic as Roa. Also Nijisanji did take a side, they clearly took Roa's side. Handling it internally is ridiculous when one side completely leaks it to the most well known drama vtuber. This is like asking why didn't Cover handle the Holo CN firing internally, when Artia is the one yapping her big mouth.

Bloom is only the first of many concerts that are planned as part of the hololive idol project. When you have an idol group with a large number of members, it's normal to only have part of the group be in any one concert (see: AKB48, Idolmaster)

>Even before that though many of Hololive's talents weren't idols or even pretending to be. Especially their recent branches have shifted further away from being "idols", Botan for example can't sing or dance, and Noel seems completely tone deaf.

These are all good points but I don't think something like Meiro/Roa would ever happen in Hololive.

The fanbase isn't nearly as adversarial towards other talents that they'd go into their chat and accuse them of copying another talent. The company also has a much stricter management style, so Roa would've gone to Meiro's manager and communicated her problems, and Meiro's manager would've told her to knock it off. No need for Roa going to Meiro directly and giving her ammo to leak shit or start interpersonal drama between them. Meiro's manager was already scolding her for it too, so I'm not sure why Roa even talked to her.

The HoloCN drama was something that started completely out of their control. Artia originally leaked the internal talks about them being able to keep their models and stuff, which she didn't know was inappropriate to leak, because according to her she was told it was ok. I'm not gonna get into her encouraging the antis to harass Coco, because it's clear anyone would be more loyal to their country than their employer. Especially when in her mind it's Coco's fault that she lost her job as a vtuber without doing anything wrong. Do I disagree with her pandering to Chinese viewers? Yeah, but it's totally different from what Meiro did. At least Artia's bullshit was savvy in a way for maintaining Chinese loyalty and protecting herself. Meiro hurt herself and everyone else with her antics.

This, but it's probably more apt to call the fanbases confused over what went down between the two. They didn't fan the flames nearly as much as was originally believed.
>Also Nijisanji did take a side, they clearly took Roa's side
Nijisanji management knew Meiro's accent was copied because she had never used it in her previous life, audition or even her debut stream. It's not an accent that naturally exists anywhere in Japan. Consider this, them asking Meiro to shift to a different accent makes a lot more sense; it's not the first time streamers have changed major aspects of their characters.

Meiro also became unreasonable, cut talks with Roa and tried to strongarm the management by putting in and withdrawing graduation requests. Nijisanji felt it was better to cut their losses than try to reason with her beyond that point.

Roa's career isn't tanked, she has been largely cleared of any wrongdoing in the eyes of anyone who blamed her for the mess. She's on a self-imposed hiatus because the whole thing hit her hard (her accent was part of an RP she had created with Chitose, a now graduated Nijisanji streamer, to whom she was extremely close).

Yeah that's the thing, that's entirely a narrative. The proof is a bunch of screenshots of a weibo account that people CLAIM everyone knows is totally artia's account, even though before the incident nobody knew about it but now thanks to two screenshots everyone treats as proof.
On top of which there is proof that at least a segment of the chinese fanbase who are determined to pain Artia as a hardcore nationalist in the eyes of the west for some reason, see attached pic which is literally a how to guide for chinese posters to go on hlg and shit on Artia, so there's literally no telling how much of it is real and how much is made up bullshit

Artia never initiated the harassment of Coco though. She was just riding the wave after it was clear she was being fired either way. She's a menhara who is prone to emotional outbursts and lashed out, but she never had a problem with Coco before CN antis forced her to take a stance.
These are people that are brainwashed from birth into being loyal to their country above all else. It's like Americans any time you bring up their own horribly evil government their brain functions shut down and they go into shill mode.

You're way behind the curve on this one. Neither of them went into each other's chats.

It's CN. CN doing JP->EN translations is a huge source of EN translations nowadays, and there's far more of those than EN natives knowing JP proficiently enough.

As for why Hololive was larger in CN than Nijisanji, it's literally because they actually did sort of appeal to them more. Setting up an entire branch might be seen as more investment, but having most of your members do Bilibili exclusive streams and content does a lot more to appeal to people than having a CN branch that rarely interacts with the JP one.

To this day, the most popular Nijisanji members on Bilibili are still the ones that acknowledged CN and did exclusive streams in 2019. I mean, part of the entire reason CN ended up getting mad was because Hololive members were starting to pay less and less attention to CN.

She just said "keep it up" and "we'll win this war" or whatever as basic PR control, just dumb Chinese nationalist chuuni shit that all Chinese do and egg eachother on.

Hololive CN was popular in CN before 1st gen Virtual Real even debuted. It started way back in early 2019 where Hololive couldn't get a foothold in JP, but gained a CN fanbase and Fubuki/Aqua (mainly Fubuki first) decided to capitalize on it. Fubuki already had her first Bilibili exclusive live in 2019 Oct, a month before the Azur Lane collab. The reason they were even able to get that collab in the first place was because of their popularity in CN. Virtual Real has more brand presence solely because they're partnered with Bilibili, but Hololive sub channels by far have the most subs unless you could Virtual Real Star, which is just already famous people/actors joining the group.

Because, true or not, there's a long standing narrative the nijifans are the cause of many of hololive's ills, such as the holocaust, harrassing Aloe, clipping lamy's words out of context, and the harrassment campaign against Fubuki over the sukuna thing, just to name a few, so that has lead to alot of animosity amongst the hololive fanbase at /jp/ which just so happens to be the primary inhabitants of this bot. Alot of them also don't make a distinction between "people who like nijisanji" and "people who harrass others in nijisanji's name", so some of them take "I like nijisanji" to mean "I personally sent death threats to Aloe and threw a party every time a hololive video was privated"

The short version is: Fubuki streamed the final chapter of Sukuna without playing through the rest of the game first, which she did because basically every holo was playing it at that point. One nijinigger tweeted at the dev about it and he responded "It doesn't break any terms of service, but personally I'm not fond of it", which was then used by the nijiniggers as an excuse to harrass Fubuki.

Nijisanji's company culture encourages harassment because it's so competitive. The easiest way for a Niji to get a leg up on their peers is by crafting and leaking rrats to bring them down, and their fans have taken this to heart and constantly shittalk eachother and Hololive. It's unhealthy.

>>310934
They gatekeep specifically because of their inferiority complex towards Hololive. They've formed a rrat in their schizo brains that being a fan of the more "obscure" company makes them smarter or cooler or whatever. You see it in other subcultures all the time.

>>310973
That was my post saying they had better tech, but iirc Niji's tech is all live tracking while Hololive's tech uses manual expressions for everything except the eyes because the tracking is shit. Their rigging is really quite bad and inconsistent, like Ayame's mouth never moves, and Kiara's model has a completely "flat" face that doesn't match other talents even though her Live2D rigger has done other girls like Watame who have extremely good rigging.

Specifically in that post though I was talking about the 3D yeah. Hololive's 3D is so bad in terms of tracking. Their models are really good though.

When the only news you hear from nijisanji for months is about how some of their retarded fans harrassed your favourite holo again it's easy to develop an impression that all nijifans are those same harrassers.

Do you think /jp/ trying to kick vtubers out once they had multiple thread is cringe or schizo paranoia? What about this board and annoying orange posters? Why don't you try going to those annoying orange threads and recommend them some friendly Hololive streams?

Does Niji recycle their artists? Just looking at this >>302324 and other group pictures I've always thought they all looked really samey. It's not necessarily a bad thing but I'm just curious.

That's why I hate them, they're totally insincere. I like Gura and don't like that they're actively tanking her reputation by pretending to be fans and getting into spats with KFPfags.

Yes, early on, it wasn't meant to be a serious project, just a tech demo, so 2/3 artists drew more than half of 1st/2nd/Gamers/Seeds.

The one you're talking about in that pic is entire Niji ID though, and that's most likely where the older artists ended up after they regular hire more unique people in later 2019, and considering they don't have their illustrator revealed, I'd say they were done by the same 1/2 people that did half of gen 1.

Also Niji ID gen 5, the one that everyone says looks like garbage, looks like that specifically because they chose to get Illustrators that were native to Indonesia, to "grow a sense of community" and give ID artists a chance apparently, instead of just tossing JP artists on them.

If Coco can shave her pussy on stream, I don't see why she would have any problem fitting in just by doing whatever she wanted.

If you are looking for recs Yuya is pretty cute. She even speaks 3 languages although she has only done English during a collab with NijiID iirc. She acts cute but rages pretty hard when she's losing.

They have these variety type programs on their main channel regularly.

Not him but I think knowing Mito is required if you want to get into vtubers in general. She's the the who shifted the the paradigm from 3d video making to 2d live streaming. Everything she did reverberated among other vtubers, and she is the inspiration that made many existing vtubers get into the fad in the first place, some of which were even able to join Nijisanj.
As for her content and personality, she is very "early internet" -like. As in, she's very in tune with internet subculture from those days and it shows in her sense of humor. Sometimes she prepares a fun scenario stream, like the one where she travels back in time and becomes a loli. Her charisma is backed up by the fact that she is a fantastic speaker. She can talk about anything and make it interesting because she goes really in-depth with what she's talking about even with the most inane topics, providing some interesting insights and wisdom.
I find her kind of similar to Moko from Watamote in many ways. They have similar interests and humor, and girls tend to gravitate her for some reason. Basically she is like an alt-Moko but good at speaking and socializing.
If you don't care about all of that then you should at least know her to respect the culture.

Thanks anon, that was very in-depth and interesting. The comparison to Moko especially makes her seem appealing as Moko's sense of humor in the early chapters was very endearing as a "pure and true girl's perspective" even if outdated by this point.

That's just a sheer numbers thing. The Hololive english speaking audience absolutely dwarfs the Niji english speaking audience.

Here's a starter pack of clips for you
This is her demonstrating her ability to make ad-lib content when tings go wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIN4vdVlzJA

Here's the infamous stream where she was accidentally showed softcore gay porn on stream, clipped by herself and edited to be more censored. It was one of her first streams.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gADyw6UawPk

Extra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc-So_IttBU

There was a clip of her talking about the origin of her unique perspective and approach on things from her childhood, and then immediately after that she talked about her experience of using a sex doll service in Europe because she couldn't believe such a service exists and wanted to see what it's like. That's the kind of person she is. Unfortunately I can't find it.

Her Animal crossing videos were also fun because every stream of it had a scenario prepared in which Isabelle was loose woman in bed with Nook with Mito being a jealous psycho cunt trying to win him over.

for me the problem with nijisanji is they simply have too many people. some of their best talent is up there with hololive in terms of entertainment value but its just too many people.
with hololive you can watch a few collabs some translated clips and a bunch of streams and you know nearly all the girls to some degree it makes it easier to enjoy collabs and small clips because you know the character with nijisanji you just go who the fuck is this a lot.
