They are not a hololive gen but they did expect us to be happy with them as the only english gen we got this year, clearly they wanted to integrate them into the hololive bubble and have a coed culture on the EN side, it failed spectacularly and they pulled on the breaks after realising that barely anybody wanted that.

There'll definitely be another EN gen by the first two months of 2023, or else there'll be no way of having a mandated 4th Fes watchalong if all currently active chuubas are taking part of it.

Clearly not as not even reddit is accepting of tempus as a substitute for EN3, Fauna has outright said on stream why are you skipping a gen when chat was talking about EN4 and Moona has talked about an all girls discord group for setting up EN/ID collabs.
Also collabs between holoEN and tempus have stopped entirely and I doubt they ever go back to the frequency they were at in the first few weeks, I expect the amount of mixed collabs going forward to more resemble the JP side which is how it should have been from the beginning.

This board may be the only ones screeching about it due to the anonymity but none of the hololive girls fanbases are exactly clamouring for more tempus collabs, and you can see for yourself the proportion of hololive viewers that actually watch Tempus.
Tempus themselves didn't fail spectacularly, they are doing very well as a stars gen but the experiment to integrate them into hololive really did.

I was there when Tempus was announced. It was very common for people to make fun of /vt/ by repeating the refrain “you can just skip the collabs”.
The only people who may have been shocked that this was happening might have been the male collabers themselves. And even then, it might not have been nearly so much an issue if the girls just streamed.
I seriously think that it was how transparently more comfortable around Tempus Kronii and Mori and Ame seemed to be compared to around other HoloEN members that turned people off. Sure, they don’t “owe” anything to the viewers, but that’s not why most people watched Hololive in the first place.

>> No.38782706

By the way, what I meant to say with that anecdote was that even most of the subreddit didn’t really want HoloEN to become NijiEN light and didn’t expect it to. That was the basis of their mockery, that that sort of paranoia was ridiculous. There wasn’t exactly that active of a homobegging faction, even there.

I don't know what you are trying to say with this post, if you want to be cynical sure it is because she doesn't want to lose gachi paypigs but the fact remains that neither the most popular girls in holoEN or the fans writ large accept tempus as a gen3 substitute and despite management pushing "holopro" unity for the first few weeks the strategy appears to have completely shifted now and they are keeping to themselves.
>>38782552
A lot of the problems would be fixed if the girls just streamed more yeah, if we had EN3 before tempus and the new blood motivated the girls, we had impromptu collabs and actual content to watch, the odd collab between hololive and tempus would not be nearly as much of an issue to most people, it is the fact that we got them instead of new girls at possibly the worst period of time for hololive streaming frequency that caused a lot of the bitterness.

It doesn't matter what the employees think about what is what in the company. And while the fan reception is the most important, there isn't a united front on either side where Cover can say "yea this isn't working". And the fact Tempus generates a nice revenue stream they weren't originally getting, even if its not Niji male level, is very good for a branch's inaugural gen so Cover has no reason to believe they made a mistake business wise.

Should Cover get a new girl gen out soon? Yes, Myth has only Mori and Kiara actively streaming while 2 are on hiatus and one is a flake with that RM tweet being a big redflag. Council is kind of doing ok but that graduation defiantly soured grapes for Cover to the point I believe that a """true""" EN3 (female) won't premiere for a long time. EN3 will get vetted very fucking hard to avoid the problems with Myth and Council and no surprise back horts and less than a year in graduations. And because of that, you are more likely to see an EN4 being StarsEN2 because they now have a good base of what to look for with a follow up and now have the likely hood of more prospects of quality coming to audition with Tempus' success, on top of men just generally being better about their work place habits and getting things done.

>It doesn't matter what the employees think
If they have a competent management structure it absolutely does matter what the talents think because if you put too much pressure on them to carry holoEN with no new blood in over a year it leads to the kind of situation we have now with one graduation, two on hiatus and one member seemingly completely burned out. I am sure that in this year of all years the girls would have appreciated new talents to shoulder some of the expectations of streams, and it probably would have motivated the rest of them like It did with myth when council debuted.
>fan reception is the most important, there isn't a united front on either side where Cover can say "yea this isn't working"
There isn't an outright revolt and yes Tempus are doing well if you evaluate them purely as a stars gen but that wasn't my point, all the good they have done in that area is cancelled out and then some if we got them at the expense of a new hololive gen so cover should absolutely consider it a mistake to have given them to us in lieu of EN3 but not that they exist in the first place.
>you are more likely to see an EN4 being StarsEN2
If that comes before the next hololive gen I will have lost all hope in cover, it is very likely 2023 is going to be the last year in holo for perhaps up to two members of Myth, watching holoEN limp on without more members any longer than early next year would be a tragedy and just hasten their decline, they need a strong EN3 before they lose ANY more members or it really might be over for holoEN.
>on top of men just generally being better about their work place habits and getting things done

You have no idea how unlikely this is to happen. Other than making the candidates have a goal after the Sana dud they won't be treated any different from the current HoloEN members and with how management is they'll most likely enter the same burn out state not long after debut. Tempus was outright forced on their first month to stream for only one hour, on a specific timeslot and in sequence to abuse the raiding feature, Vesper had to fight to be able to stream on his earlier timeslot and after that I believe both Magni and Axel mentioned their managers telling them to take as many breaks as possible. And yeah, it's the Holostars EN management, but what makes you think things aren't exactly the same for HoloEN considering how that branch at all times has at least 2 to 3 members MIA or on announced hiatuses? Not to mention how they actively go against most of the girls projects, are extremely incompetent at getting permissions and would rather have them mindlessly stream the same shit over and over than help them do something creative. HoloEN3's fate is no different than what happened to Myth and Council, the only good part of it is that with more girls the absences won't feel as bad and there's always the chance that they might find their own Kaela/Koyori, but unless those in charge are fired and Cover hires people who actually want to push HoloEN forward we'll see the same exact patterns. Even Tempus is already showing some early signs of it, I'm pretty sure closer to their first year anniversary we'll see a considerable decrease of their streaming frequency.

>if you put too much pressure on them to carry holoEN with no new blood in over a year it leads to the kind of situation we have now
>I am sure that in this year of all years the girls would have appreciated new talents to shoulder some of the expectations
I don't think for the most part the girls mind that the 3rd gen are males since they are trying to fill in the gaps in timeslots where the girls are not streaming. But I will agree in that the dropping consistency of the girls is not good for morale, which for the talents that don't want to collab with Tempus for whatever reason, reduces who they can collab with, and could get or may have already gotten isolated. Tempus like their JPs are free to collab outside the company without stigma so they will never have this problem, which is why I believe they were encouraged by management to do the Twitch takeover as a back up for them, but now blinded sided that both Ina and Ame decided to dip out for their reasons, management has nothing for the EN girls for the most part, which is kind of why I feel they felt a bit pressured to dip their feet with the ENxNiji collabs for Kiara and Pomu, but doesn't help for the others who don't speak JP like Kronii (kinda) who can jump to JP side.
>all the good they have done in that area is cancelled out and then some if we got them at the expense of a new hololive gen
I don't necessarily agree with this, mainly because of what I said before that Cover may be pressured to be much harder on a new female gen for EN. Remember that Tempus was already slotted in before Sana snap announced her graduation. They are no doubt scrambling on what to do for girls coming forward in which I believe that with Tempus success in the EN market in general, not just being a Stars gen, is why I feel they will push another male group. I could be wrong, but thats just my feeling. Maybe the Ina and Ame hiatus (and whatever is going on with Gura) will push them to try and expedite a female gen?
>If that comes before the next hololive gen I will have lost all hope in cover

That is exactly my point and the reason why tempus instead of and not alongside EN3 is such a misstep, if the two most popular talents and IRyS, Mumei and Kiara have no intention of collabing with Tempus then regardless of their personal feelings about them existing the damage is done to hololives overall output and opportunities for collabs for those particular girls.
You say that tempus fills in the gaps in their timeslots but I will reiterate, the majority of hololive fans are not watching tempus streams no matter if they are filling in dead hours or not, you know what they would watch? New female talents streaming during those times, so when you make the argument that the girls wouldn't mind only getting males because they are filling in gaps in the streaming schedule it just doesn't hold much water imo, a new female gen would have fixed that problem far better and also reinvigorated hololive streams.
>It really all comes down to what they can pull together. The last thing you want is a ragtag 3rd female gen and it ends up being shit. Rather it stay longer in the oven

pretty much. council is holding the reins now functionally because Myth is basically just-Kiara in terms of reliable deliverer.

it's not even in the "hurr /vt/ is entitled for expecting top-tier pro streamers to stream" garbage pinning the blame on us. you don't call people entitled for being annoyed that media isn't there. if vtubers are basically peoples' netflix of daily entertainment, if your netflix is unexpectedly in a near-outage most of time you are going to get PISSED at the company.

also, youtube itself likes consistency and that utterly is what drives the algo. stop streaming in spurts and the algo will fucking drop you dead. people like gura and ame are not be rec'ed to randos anymore because they're fucking gone for week+ gaps. it is in both their and Cover's best interest for them to feed the algo and consistency is what does it. to get back into the algo's good graces they will need to do immense marathons of streams for days straight to maybe nudge back in.

Not to mention how Tempus won't have any impromptu collab on something like Minecraft, won't be part of any of the big Hololive events like SportsFes or the Mario Kart tournament and any big collab will need to be organized by Hololive. Only debuting them this year was a net negative for Hololive as a whole and they're already struggling to pass the 1.5k viewers mark.

Honnestly it's true, quantity you have 0 to 100 and it's multiplied by quality who go from 0 to 100000 so quality is more important. But whenever what kind of quality you put, 0X100000000000 still equal 0 at the end of the day. And currently a lot of holoEN are really putting a 0 in quantity so the final result is 0.

Because they were copying Nijisanji. People tend to forget the timeline here, but the open auditions started around 2 weeks after Luxiem's debut, and 3 months later Cover was practically begging for male applicants, not too long after Noctyx debut and Niji's most recent auditions call. Cover saw Luxiem's success and wanted a piece of that pie, that's why they practically rushed Tempus debut and tried to integrate them to HoloEN as hard as they could so they would not only have access to the normal male vtuber audience but would try to attract some of Hololive's audience as well. They saw it sorta working with NijiEN and thought that, unlike with JP, the could replicate the same thing and get away without much fan outcry, but it turned out that almost all the members who are actually pulling numbers didn't want anything with them so they wouldn't get the exposure Cover was expecting, and the fan outcry was much bigger than they expected to the point they had to protect Kronii's ass with that retarded lie that they support their talents right to chose what kind of content they want to produce. Tempus also had their own debut watchalongs on HoloLIVE EN's channel, and an orisong a month after debut. Cover copied what Anycolor was doing with NijiEN hard, almost like they completely relapsed and went back to their earlier years when they copied their competitor's every single move.

They're going to stick around for a very long time, and people will continue to love them, but their golden days are already behind them. Just like Atari, Hololive's management are going to fail to look past their hubris, and will expect everyone to continue to give them money, even though there are better options in the market right now.

The top 3 big vtubing agencies in EN market are Hololive Production, Nijisanji and Vshojo, each of them supposedly have their own unique flavor

Vesper is by far the best streamer from Tempus, but there's also the problem that while he's a great streamer he's kinda useless for anything idol-related outside of SOVL, which is fine but it's rather grim when the others who are good at singing also act like they got the same personality pack from an online retailer with how generic they are. Ironically the other 3 all have something in common, so maybe Cover should think about not hiring too many similar people for future gens.

I can't believe that I lived to see the day that Cover dickriders started defending Holostars. In any way, the amount of people who don't care about gender is quite small, as you can clearly see their current numbers 4 months after debut, not to mention how the whole "can't stream during debuts and 3D debuts" rule during Uproar's 3D showed exactly what the other anon said. Only Rio had more than 15k viewers, and the rest were all sub 10k with Uyu being only around 6.5k. I also often see Tempus being the only ones streaming for the EN side on certain hours and members like Luna or Flare are there, streaming for almost 12 hours straight the same brainrot game they've playing for the entire week and having at least 5 times more viewers.

The problem is that neither extreme was necessary. Cover could've definitely debut both StarsEN and EN3 this year and it would be much better for the health of the branch overall. Instead they decided to give Tempus the premier treatment while pushing back the actual EN3 for god knows when and ignoring how HoloEN is at all times missing at least 20 to 30% of their members, with at not so rare times almost reaching half of the entire branch, and sometimes missing whole days without a single stream. And even if they expected that Tempus would fill those holes in practice they really aren't going by their viewership, so I wonder if Cover is scrambling to assemble a new gen as fast as they can or they'll carry on and continue to ignore all the problems HoloEN currently has until shit blows up on their faces.

100% going for that Luxiem money. I already talked about it here >>38793713 and the way all the timings match each other makes it unlikely that this was a natural progression of their project with HoloEN. Yagoo saying that they were aiming for a male audience with Tempus was pure bullshit when they realized almost 2 months after their debut that they wouldn't reach the same highs Luxiem did, but to be fair with those models I wonder if they ever understood the appeal of what was practically NijiEN's Myth.

>>38814862
EN3 is already the Hololive gen that took the longest time to debut after Holox and ID3's 15 months wait. If they announce them during HoloExpo and they debut on the same month the time between Council and EN3 would be 19 months, almost rivaling Uproar's 23 months. Nobody here is asking for a new gen every 3-5 months, but waiting almost 2 whole years for it is insanely retarded.

Another gen isn't what's needed. Management could fix this. They won't, but they actually could fix it all internally without dropping a new gen.
>mandate streaming quotas
>mandate schedules
>get perms and approvals for what the girls put on the schedule
The last one is important, because it puts accountability both ways. If a stream is canceled after the schedule goes out, the party that cancels takes the hit.
If half the branch wasn't missing or burnt out, collabs and new ideas would be more frequent, which would help spark interest in people who have tuned out.
We'll see when EN3 happens if management has a different relationship with them than they do right now with CouncilRys and Myth.

It's in a weird limbo where it's definitely way bigger than StarsJP was, but it's also definitely not the NijiEN type success either.

My gut feeling is looking at it like tempus either delayed EN3 by existing (that seems hard to deny as fact at this point) or it was supposed to be EN3 but they're embarrassed to admit it out loud because that'll make people compare their success to Myth/Council which makes them look like a massive failure.

>> No.38838698

>>38837006
Tempus being directly responsible for EN3's delay is probably because their management while separated from HoloEN is not separated enough like how it is with HoloJP and StarsJP. Cover either cheaped out with HoloproEN or intentionally made it so they're not completely unique entities in the company, maybe because they thought that since it's the western branch they wouldn't receive much backlash for doing so, but the results are almost surely not what they really wanted considering the timing and the circumstances surround it. And while they are doing better than their JP senpai across the the board it's not by much, with recent streams having the same viewership as Roberu and some of them already falling into 3view territory, so I wonder how things will look like close to their first anniversary. But in any case Cover should be aware that if they debuted any girl in their place she would be twice as popular than any of them and maybe they should hurry up with the actual EN3 unless they want to deal with the bottom of the barrel who still had hopes that they would be contacted and didn't make the smart move of going to one of the many other agencies willing to pay them (or weren't hired) or just went indie.

Should’ve thought about that when literally the only corporate male EN presence was fucking Tsunderia.
Luxiem showed that people were starved for male ENs, and no it’s not just chinks if you look at sc spread. If Tempus debuted in November 2021 (with better models) before Anycolor got the jump on them, they’d all have 500k subs AT LEAST by now just by virtue of being first. Maybe not Luxiem numbers, but they’d prevent NijiEN from taking off like they did, leaving them permanently in 2nd place.

If EN3 isn't out for like half a year+ then the EN branch will basically look like it got sacrificed/reordered as lowest priority. Literally small corpos will pick at its fetid weak body constantly picking off users. It's like being killed by ants and they're letting it happen.

NijiEN just debuted 3 girls who are Japanese but speak English to varying degrees, that's actually a very neat idea and honestly I've been way more interested in Kotoka the past like two days than I have anything from HoloEN. And let me tell you I've generally fucking hated nijiEN and still do, but I will call a spade a spade and a cute gyaru actual-Japanese girl has my attention. Granted, this probably won't last because the rest of the annoying faggoty branch will corrupt them but I look at these as like "if even one of these was in a new HoloEN wave, people would be hailing her as the reverse Coco and such" and really stoked. Yet here we are with nothing.

I would say that basically after Council being telegraphed for too long may have deflated its hype (remember that pray to the cube cringe shit) I think they're trying to play their cards close to the chest like JP does, i.e we literally might have EN3 next week and it'll be great. But statistically, that doesn't seem likely after what looked like the most sensible release windows for more EN (Fall) already came and went.

Meloco's pl was an open Hololive fan and you can find clips of her imitating a bunch of HoloJP members. It's downright impossible that she never thought about applying to HoloJP or HoloEN, but Cover is taking so long to debut another gen that Anycolor ended up getting her first. There are SO many good EN chuubas who debuted on small agencies recently and you can bet every single one of them also tried for HoloEN, but for some reason Cover decided to not capitalize on their early success and truly believes that the current roster is more than enough for god knows how long. Council was already a sign that they didn't have a clue in how to consolidate their dominance, and now half of the branch lost their desire to put effort on their work while the other half is struggling to keep interest in the brand. The way I see it they're the anti-Disney: they're acting like they don't want to grow bigger than everyone else in the market and be the first and often only option for the consumers, and with that I genuinely hope we have another graduation, maybe even from Myth, to see if it shake things up and makes Cover do something. The most likely day of truth will be on HoloExpo, and if we don't get any good news there shit will get ugly really fast.

Gonna be real for a sec. As a Nijisanjii fan, I legitimately want Hololive to continue doing well. Competition is always good, and I've found my oshi because the EN vtubing playing field had the exact conditions for her to emerge.
If Cover keeps being lazy with their EN branch, then the same thing is going to happen with Anycolor. If EN3 or more 3D debuts or specials get delayed, then that might make Anycolor feel like they can take it easy with their EN events too.
Please holofriends, encourage your management to get shit together. I know EN3 will be very hype and will reinvigorate the vtubing community, and Hololive doing well will mean I won't have to wait so long for my oshi to get 3D too.

As much as I want to be excited for it I can't help but feel the wait was so goddamn long that the "quality" won't be there anymore. Council had a lot of hype surrounding it because they were the ones coming after Myth's explosive success, but EN3 is coming after a drought of new members, lack of streams, a third of the branch MIA or in hiatus and a bunch of other problems that put a negative kind of hype on them. They can't be just be fine, they need to be a new debut-era Myth to reinvigorate the branch. They need more chemistry, talent and drive than any other Hololive gen, but at this point who the fuck is left to fill this role? Meloco's pl was one of the very few vtubers that I had their streams open at all times, and she would be a perfect fit for any Hololive branch. She's funny and can sing really well, so pretty much ready for idol stuff and performing in 3D. And what Cover does about that? Absolutely nothing other than push a generic as fuck male gen that most of the audience barely gives a fuck anymore and somehow share the exact same ethnic composition of Council. Cover completely lost the opportunity to really grow the EN branch, and HoloEN's cutish fans who kept pushing the idiotic idea of "quality > quantity" only made things worse to the point that there's barely anyone left because they all got caught by agencies willing to hire them first, so I doubt EN3 won't be anything but a fart in the wind. We already had Sana, so it's not like Cover can't do it again.

There's no reason to be surprised when it's the stone-cold truth. Cover absolutely lost a bunch of potential hires who went to any of the multiple available options because of their slowness, to the point that I honestly believe they could've easily had 2 really good and complete gens, 10 new girls, for HoloEN if they had just the tiniest amount of foresight. The "quality > quantity" crowd doesn't understand how there isn't an infinite supply of girls willing to become a vtuber who won't be just a generic streamer and will try to do something interesting under the brand, and who knows if when they finally decide to do something they'll have any good options left.

Honestly I don't think Cover ever had any touch. A lot of their early successes are more likely to be attributed to pure luck and being on the right place at the right time than actually having any idea of what they were doing. HoloEN was a massive bet for them after years of literally copying Anycolor's every move, and they were actually considering making a Korean and Indian branch on early 2020. The success of Myth was so huge that they probably didn't have any idea of how to proceed, and Council was honestly a fumble, with one girl who would never pass through the normal audition process if she wasn't recommended, and she still ended up graduating, and the others not having many outstanding qualities outside of actually fucking streaming (except Kronii). Cover took way too long to debut them, had that whole cringy meta-bullshit for an entire month trying to hype them up only for the actual debut to pushed one day for undisclosed reasons and they ended up not being the successor everyone expected them to be (even tho I prefer them over Myth because they actually fucking stream). Now they're taking even longer with EN3 and unlike with Council when they had access to a much bigger pool of people auditioning since it was still the very beginning of the EN scene and everyone wanted to follow Myth's footsteps now we have multiple consolidated agencies with various degrees of popularity that are much more willing to go out and hire these people, so who the fuck knows what's the quality of those who are left.

I can't think of any. It's more girls to interact with all of HoloEN and HoloJP unlike Tempus, it's more chances of having dedicated people like Koyori or Kaela who treat streaming as their job, more chances of finding someone exceptionally talented in music who actually wants to push for it and gives more variety outside of increasingly cringy rap and English songs written by ESL people, and it's more girls to save us from situations like this >>38870700 so when one member is down it's not a whole tenth of the entire branch. It honestly feels like the people in charge of HoloEN don't know where to go next, maybe they feel like they need a specific assortment of talents for EN3 instead of just looking at everyone who auditioned and picking up those who are actually talented and would be good hires. Maybe Omega has a new retarded chuuni lore and until he finds the perfect "actresses" he won't debut them. There's literally no good reason to not debut EN3, and as I mentioned before we should've been waiting for EN4 or even EN5 at this point if Cover wasn't so fucking retarded.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if EN girls 3 got either scrapped or delayed because of the extreme lack of work ethic from the first two EN girls branches.

Council was generally a flop. They got the free ~300k subs at launch and have barely doubled that in over a year. Between them barely being mid level talents and Myth being all but semi-retired at this point, they're probably scared to waste more resources on generic nobodies.

Who do you think it's responsible for all these problems? They lack work ethic because management itself has none with their utter incompetence at getting game permissions or helping them on their projects, Council being mid level talents is because they decided to chose those 5 girls out of tens of thousands of candidates, Myth being all but semi-retired is them telling the members to take as many breaks as they need because they think streaming 2 hours once per day might burn them out. It's so obvious who's the main culprit of all of these problems are the people in charge of these girls, but yeah, the ONLY, SINGULAR reason there's no EN3 is because the girls are lazy fucks and are throwing away their golden ticket.

They literally have dozens, if not hundreds of games they can play that they do have the perms for. Likewise, with each new game release, they almost ALWAYS have the perms ready to go for day one of launch.

As for projects, you don't even know what they do / want to do with project or how many they approach management with, you're just rratting because of one or two examples you can pull (probably from Gura) of "My project was cancelled." Again though, you know absolutely nothing of what the actual project was or why it got cancelled.

Council being mid may be a problem with the decision making of the HIRING manager, but it's just baseless speculation that the hiring manager is also somehow the management in charge of the talents perms and content approval. Having worked in a bigger company like Cover before, I can say with almost certainty, that just isn't the case.

Every other branch has talent that streams extremely regular and frequent. You really think management is telling EN "Nah, don't stream, it's perfectly fine to just rest constantly because you think 2 hours a week is hard work!" Nah, you're just pulling that nonsense from your ass.

I don't know if I would say the only reason for no Gen 3 is the current talents laziness and lack of work ethic, but I do think it's a major contributing factor. Cover is a Japanese company and Japanese tradition expects more than nothingness.

As much as people like to bash on Tempus, they weren't just generic nobodies. They were decent level content creators before and continue to be decent.

At the end of the day, people can sit there and blame management all they want, but all it is is rrat talk. They have absolutely no idea what goes on behind the scenes, we can only go off of what we see, and what we see is a bunch of lazy talents who can't even manage to stream playing video games let alone putting out other, more advanced types of content.

NTA, but most if not all of the EN talents can reference a time when their project or idea was shitcanned or delayed for months and months.
The talents should stream, no doubt, but I can't blame them for being demotivated when management does more to impede them then help them. I mean, for fucks sake, talents have to pay for 3D out of pocket yet 3D lives are a huge income stream and drive superchats which Cover then profits from.

>games
And? What if they want to play an older game? What if they want to play something from Konami like Metal Gear or YGO? All Nijisanji branches played them, and JP even organized an YGO tournament, so why can't Cover get permissions for those games? What if they wanted to play an older Pokémon, like how Axel tried but then instantly had to delete the vod? Why does Cover insists on this partnership with Niconico that forces everyone to spam the newest Pokémon for 2-3ish months because after that those permissions are gone? What about Vesper not being able to play Xcom?
>projects
I'll refer to this anon >>38875731, also multiple members from all over Holopro complained about management shitcanning their projects in the past, and if Cover can't help them do something for whatever reason their job is to find a middle ground and provide support for them, because that's the whole fucking point of a talent agency.
>Council
Do you really think that those sections from a talent agency are that separated? This isn't a normal company where you're most likely hired to be another cog, they hiring the people they'll with work extremely closely for the next god knows how many years, and we know that at least Shinove, who was the branch head of Holostars JP, interviewed the members before they were hired, so why would EN be completely different and have no connection between the hiring process an the day to day managing?
>streams
Magni and Axel said that. You can call them on their bullshit, but currently it is the info that we have. Not to mention if Cover was really against multiple radio silent breaks why didn't they fire the worst offenders yet?
>Tempus
I know that the bar for a good streamer on HoloEN was set absurdly low, but could you please stop being a Tempus shill? Ragus is one of the most generic soft-voice asian boy streamers out there, Magni is clout chasing freaking OTV, Axel was a nobody utaite but he does have some talent on that, and Vesper is by far the best streamer from the bunch but still managed to be a retard and get suspended by, you guessed it, management, even if he most likely had a reason to lose his temper.
>Conclusion, tied with why no EN3
And you're also the one doing rrat talk about why no EN3. Why the fuck laziness would be a factor when they could just make the new girls fucking stream? Why wouldn't they just make sure they had a consistent schedule, managed to stream at least 3 times per week and provide content that wasn't just streams? Why are you so insistent that the only reason there's no new gen is something that if they really wanted to fix they would've years ago? We can have the battle of rrats here, but I don't think you should be spreading yours as the true gospel.

My guess is they already got some former niji staff or something, that would explain many many things...

Not comparable. Holox took 15 months to debut after 7 gens (counting 0 and Gamers here), and even then when we compare when HoloJP had the same age as HoloEN (25 months) the former had 23 members (Gens 0, 1, 2, 3 and Gamers) and Gen 4 was going to debut in a little over a week, while HoloEN barely even has 10 active members.

Correction, 27 months. And if we're even more thorough when the first Holostars gen debuted HoloJP had 16 active members, the INNK group with Suisei and AZKi and both Rushia and Pekora would debut a little over week after them, so if you want to count everyone they had 20 members while, again, HoloEN barely had 11 active members with one in the process of leaving.

Myth is done and Council is barely holding together, they need to debut EN3 and speedrun EN4 and encourage them from the very first day to collab together as much as they can.
>But I only care about watching my new oshi, I don't want to waste my time watching her doing a collab with her genmate whore
They need to get comfortable together and feel like they are friends. Streaming must become a second nature for them, something they enjoy doing, not just an easy job they can do for a few hours every week and then shit talk about their fans when they ask them for more. The best way to get them to that point is achieving true unity.

>My love for HoloJP will never die, but I fully replaced HoloEN with indies and some small corpos.

>> No.38899355

>>38898332
That second point is hilarious. If people wanted their oshi to stream solo she should've have gone indie and not apply to a vtuber agency. The whole point about agencies is to create a group of content creators that create content together. That should be fucking obvious, but somehow there are people out there who completely missed the point of this and are fine with HoloEN having an increasingly diminishing number of active members just becase their oshi are still standing, even tho they're probably feeling lonely when they're one of the very few members who are still fucking streaming.

No canceled schedule yet, but it's hilarious how in a little over 12 hours we went from 3 members down to possibly 6 with a guaranteed 7th with Fauna leaving for a week for holidays. There's a chance that HoloEN will be a 3-man band next week and Cover still think things are completely fine.

>>38899589
I really hope they train the next gens better. HoloEN desperately needs new blood, but they also need more coordination and more people willing to take the lead and organize big collabs like JP has. It will be a waste if Cover hires 5 more girls who act exactly like the current ones and don't try to do anything exciting with their senpai.

I've said this in some threads before but a new girls gen really needs to be put through what Tempus had gone through.
Before debut they had to be put together for 3 months and had to become close friends that could collab with each other and play with each other and genuinely have a good time, or else they'll be replaced and screened out and the entire process done over.
People can hate on Tempus all they want but their unity is undeniable, 3 months was all it took, I don't mind having EN3 delayed just an extra 3 months if it meant ensuring gen unity existed.

That would be so fucking retarded. They have the perfect stage to announce them and debut shortly thereafter, with the week that comes after the Expo/Fes weekend being completely free.

>>38903321
Do we know how long it took between Council being confirmed and them debuting? Because I remember hearing the Myth girls saying that they watched Coco's 3D debut together which happened around 3 months before their debut, and we all know how they ended. I don't think just giving them that time to get together is enough and they might need another incentive to create this sense of unity pre-debut. One of the things I've been asking for years already is why there isn't a single band on any of these big vtuber agencies. It's the perfect theme for a gen and a good way to unite them, especially if they're the ones writing and composing their songs, not to mention for an pseudo-idol agency like Cover who had yearly music concerts they would already have a performance ready.

>>38903785
Are they EN3 or not? If they are I will absolutely compare them with the girls because that was Cover's goal. Yagoo saying they wanted male vtubers for a male audience means they should be compared with the girls, and they failed on that regard. And everyone expected them to do a better than StarsJP, but Ragus and Axel are already around Roberu's numbers and frequently dipping to 3view territory, Magni struggles to cross the 2k mark and Vesper is the only one who's still consistently at the top of his gen but everyone fucking knows that if Cover debuted any girl in their place they would be doing much better.

I don't agree with the notion that they are EN3 when the context of these discussions is about the third HoloLIVE EN gen, and I won't type all of that all the damn time. But yes, Tempus in practice was HoloPRO EN's third gen, and the fact that they were treated like that and not as another branch mostly separated from HoloEN with their own release schedules is now biting Cover in the fucking ass because they're 100% not the success they wanted when they were fucking begging for guys to send their auditions 4 months before debut. Cover wanted their own Luxiem, then went full cope mode saying they were meant for a male audience to compete with HoloEN's main viewer base (genius) when they saw that wouldn't work, and idiots here eat Yagoos lies like they were breakfast and spread it like gospel ignoring every single thing that happened before their debut.

saying this is a cope. you've seen luxiem and noctyx. there is no way cover intended tempus to be the luxiem of hololive with models like magni and altare with dead reptile eyes or vesper who is a literal clone of castlevania aesthetics.

they know how to make good models. look at uproar. look at jp stars. tempus was designed to fail as a generation so everyone would shut up about hiring male talents. and they've succeeded. any male who wants to go corpo is going to nijisanji. that's how much cover doesn't like en males. they used up the entire 3rd gen for intentional failures to act as a scapegoat to never push en males again.

>> No.38906992

The thing is that they were never meant to be separated projects, and the HoloProEN twitter should've been the biggest redflag. Instead of copying how the JP side does and making an account for each branch they decided to make one for the whole EN side and now the original Hololive EN account is more like a retweet bot for the Holopro one. Tempus is EN3 in practice and Cover is insanely retarded for doing it like that.

Your rrat would only make a speck of sense if we had EN3 this year. Do you really believe they would invest in 4 new hires and make them the main attraction of 2022 for the English side of HoloPro as a joke?

My rrat is this: Cover doesn’t feel like it’s worth the investment to debut both a StarsEN and a HoloEN gen in the same year. So they decided to replace EN3 with StarsEN1. As StarsEN1, Tempus is a success. As a way to mollify HoloEN fans, they are a failure. I’d *like* to think it was a test and they were trying to see if the reddit hugbox was filled with a bunch of liars (it was).
If Cover aren’t retards, they’ll learn that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Debut one of each every year or debut HoloEN gens every year and StarsEN gens every, idk, 18 months or so. They can’t keep doing this bullshit. One year skipping a HoloEN gen and the branch is already falling apart.

The thought of them actually believing it's not worth to debut both on 2022 when they pretty much dominated the market in the first year is so fucking retarded that might be true, tho I think it's less them thinking like that and more the EN side convincing them about it. And saying the branch is falling apart is a severe understatement when there's a chance that HoloEN might only have 3 active members for the rest of the week. For the first time they actually need to ACCELERATE and debut 2 gens next year, one at the start and one at the end, if they want to leave 2023 in a healthy state.

Have you seen the amount of garbage rigs some members had to deal in the past? Cover being massively incompetent is not anything new, they commissioned Magni's artist, send the art to the rigger and call it day because they have negative quality control on that area. That still doesn't mean they do that stuff as a joke, they're just that fucking retarded. Gura's second outfit, when she was already massively popular and the reveal itself being at the time the biggest Hololive stream and I believe the second biggest vtuber stream of all time, had a completely broken rig and literally no one thought to themselves that maybe it needed a little more time in the over, or a completely different rigger. That same rigger who also worked on multiple scuffed models in the past and came back to do Anya's second outfit as well. Magni was just the most recent victim of their retardation and I doubt he won't ask for a redesign in the future.

not the same thing. rigs are irrelevant. the design was flawed from the art. all of the holostars jp boys have models that look fine as a still. roberu's rig is shit and his hair clips itself in multiple places but he still look halfway decent. magni altare and vesper's faces turned away anyone who was on the fence about checking out the boys before they even have a chance to see the shit rigging.

They got one of the Fire Emblem artists to make a model for them, and all of the other members I mentioned were designed by extremely famous illustrators, so none of this was cheap.
