Give me your best-reasoned explanations for why no EN3 yet.

a non-schizo reason is that they're still giving the current EN more room and time to grow and they'd sooner debut a new JP gen.

IPO.

If they debuted an EN3 last week, they'd have to say that their HoloEN branch has 15 members instead of 10, which looks worse given their entire angle for investors was 'look how many subs we have with fewer members' and a weeks' worth of growth would dilute their numbers.

Also, the EN fanbase treats most branches as a shiny new toy. Holostars were abandoned when Tempus came out, and Vanguard weren't wanted. ID2 were abandoned when Council came out. Cover rely too heavily on EN fans for all of their branches that an EN3 would have had a huge negative impact on their arguments for overseas expansion, and this is to say nothing of the fact that HoloEN and StarsEN are both in a seemingly unsalvageable decline while ID and JP are not.

It's actually quite impressive how EN can simultaneously be 30% of Cover's profits whilst also being a total wasteland of actual content.

>>46053496
Hololive had long planned on taking the Stars market. It's different from the Girls'. They thought HoloEN girls could hold their own, but didn't foresee Sana's graduation, and Ina and Gura taking a break. The remaining girls still did well through the competition's acceleration plans. Give them credit for that. Since Hololive doesn't half-ass projects, they continued their separate project as planned with Stars. It's not a failure since it taps into the competition, not the girls' market. As for the drama, blame it more on the girls' handling of it, than the men. Another reason for EN3's delay is that they are ensuring quality idol/artist talents than those just wanting to stream. As described in their recent strategies.

Tempus 2 was rushed out to give the now mostly quarantined stars someone else to collab with and En3 will come sometime in the next 6 months.

We’ve known why they all streamed within the same time slot, PST prime time, was due to a management directive. I am guess most of the audience theat sends SC or members are in that time zone.

HoloEN only has limited manpower as seen with that printer tweet recently. The same will be true for their recruitment team. Instead of scouting for EN3 they scouted for Tempus and Tempus 2, electric 3view.
Now HoloEN is in the process of restructuring after the person in charge of these decisions got fired.

>> No.46057936

The talent pool has really reclined. Indies have lots of corpos to choose from now. Plus Sana's behavior of barely streaming and early departure probably encouraged some lazy or not so dedicated people to apply because they think they can apply, get in for a couple of months, grow ur fanbase and then dip, I'm not saying that's a valid strategy but it probably polluted the talent pool even more.

Now with all that add on to the new "Tempus filter" every girl has to pass your auditions are a new level of complexity. I wouldn't be surprised if EN3 already had a bunch of private iterations just for one or two being kicked off every few rounds. This also explains all the random meetings the current girls have to attend every day.

They'll be revitalized with new talent, collabing is what everyone loves anyway. Honestly Cover also needs some new ideas, even just an official Hololive video game or VN series.

The actual reason is Luxiem not even a meme. If you seen the discord leak Shu applied and they told him no males. They announced open auditions early November so it was probably actually open October. 2 or so months after luxiem are thriving they announce we’re accepting males as well skipping over stars ID. Whoever made this idea probably had his balls on the line so it had to succeed. They first combined the twitter because no one would follow the boys Twitter and started giving them every milestone possible. Then breaking the collab ban for the extreme collab rush. I had never seen Ame plan so much collabs let alone be in a collab so much in such a short period. I could be wrong but outside minecraft i don’t even think ame collabed with all council they’re second month. Then collabs mysteriously stopped probably management noticing the numbers drop the IPO does show 5-10% drop in overseas viewership at that time. It also brought last minute halloween, forced piko park, IRyS remodel happening in November when even December was up in the air. Putting it like that does seem like course correcting but they released tempiss 2 and have plans for a male vsinger so who knows.

Imagine sinking thousands into that animation, probably going over budget for the live so again your money and jazz track for your song. Thousands maybe more and management tells you yea you can’t release that. You send a list if games you want to play missing for 2 months. Management is definitely less incompetent for the boys though. Your song really reached half a million we have to fund the next masterpiece ourselves. You want these games last minute for debut no problem. We told the girls we definitely can’t get this game but hey they don’t have 100k subs.

Agreed. Like it or not Stars are siphoning Niji dollars, they're building a new fanbase, and even with their smaller numbers they are profitable. Sure, some of the current girls have lost viewership/revenue for handling the male collab situation poorly, but that's acceptable growing pains and the 'damage' has been done, no need to abort now, it won't change what's already happened.
Personally I expect an EN 3 announcement and teaser after the first US concert, debuts around August, and Tempus 3 announced shortly thereafter with less fanfare but 1 or 2 male-friendly members of EN 3 + Mori pumping them up.

The truth is
Tempus was supposed to be EN3. Almost all of the marketing seems to indicate that they were supposed to be the next gen, on top of that you have omegas announcements talking about how "guys are part of hololive too" almost nothing seemed to actually indicate that they would be considered their own separate branch, I think that this failed spectacularly though and now they're just kind of sitting on their thumbs waiting to see what else happens because it turns out that two groups of male streamers still aren't that comparable to any of the females in the company.

We may get EN 3 this year, but it will only be if they find a group of girls who really add something to the current roster, who they don't think will simply leech the current girl's audiences. Leeching and killing off 'livers' is the Nijisanji practice, they accelerate and only successful talents thrive. Hololive doesn't do that. They induct you into their network and support you no matter what.

Plus the girls will still be drawn from the same pool of twitch thots who saw japan make streaming as anime big and they want some of that money so they will still suck.

I firmly believe they were originally supposed to be en 3 because cover thought there would be a large demand for males due to 2views and vtweeters thinking they'd have a chance of getting hyped up for a chance to be with their oshis.
But those same people who were hyped for it didn't end up watching the guys who debuted and the boys got backlash for collabing with girls with several of the girls pretty much pretending they don't exist.

So I think they were originally planned to be EN3 but were eventually forced into their own place as "en stars"

I agree with most of this, although I think this is very much an EN-specific problem. There *is* an added appeal to going corpo in JP, which is that in JP, vtubing can be more than just streams. The first thing the nips do when they find a successful franchise is find ways to spam it everywhere across mediums and make it more than whatever it started as (a manga, light novel, video game, vtuber, etc).
That’s *kind* of there for HoloEN, but it’s nowhere near the same. It’s *barely* there for NijiEN. The EN branches can’t offer the same buffs as the JP branches get, and importantly, they still have to deal with the same debuffs as JP (namely perms autism).

To me its mainly the games choices council and myth tackle, on top of a lot of them not streaming.

I like Kronii as a Vtuber but fucking hate her games choices, to the point Fauna is becoming my oshi slowly just because the combo of games i wanna watch + adorable personality is great. I also just want more variety on the EN side since i dont know JP or ID, even tho some girls in ID interest me the sudden change to talking in ID is annoying, same thing with Irys that at times i feel she should have debuted as JP vtuber that knows EN instead of the other way around.

I've got 3 theories and which you believe depends on your level of cynicism.
>Theory 1
Council is underperforming compared to the expectations set by Myth and EN3 won't happen until one of the Councils hits 1M.
>Theory 2
Yagoo and Cover are content with their stake in the EN market and don't believe that adding additional talent will help them capture a significantly larger portion of the market.
>Theory 3
Cover places a lot of value on sub count. It's a huge point that they try to sell to potential investors. Debuting a new gen that might be slow to get off the ground in terms of sub count right when Cover is courting investors might be a risk that they are unwilling to take.
I think Theory 3 has some real merit considering it has been over a year since any girls debuted from any branch. Sure it has been the longest for EN, but even Kobo is a year old now.

It was easier and less stressing for holoproEN to use 2022 to launch StarsEN to train new JP managers and hit the competition on that side of the market while they rollout the immediate 3D studio expansion.

Cover only gives EN a finite amount of resources, and with the number of popular female vtubers EN management was worried about oversaturation (, so decided to use 2022 to focus on males to prevent Nijisanji from monopolizing that market.

>> No.46078363

My theory: like most companies with an international branch, Cover HQ is more hands off than you think. It’s not even that they don’t understand foreign trends and culture, they literally don’t speak the language. Since Omega lucked into Myth it took until Tempus fucking crashing and burning to allow the leadership to axe him. But changing course like that requires replacing the leadership/management and time to shitcan old projects and start new ones.

Forget about incompetent management. The lack of viable candidates. Yadda yadda yadda. Those are bullshit excuses. The real reason they haven't debuted EN3 is because the girls themselves are against it. They'd be forced to stream to prevent the mass exodus of their paypigs. They're so fucking used to streaming once a week and still earn fuck off money. They want to keep that status quo. There's a reason the first advice Myth gave Council was to fucking "take it easy".

I keep seeing people say this but it just doesn't seem to be true. We had two fairly new corpos with almost no name recognition, idol Corp and Eien Project, debut their first EN Gens over the past few months to shocking success. The most extreme example being Rin who, after being blessed by the shorts algorithm, now has more subs than anybody from Tempus2 and regularly hits 1k viewers; and at the rate she is growing, she will likely start overtaking Tempus1 before long. And that's not even mentioning the staggering growth from other vtubers like Pippa, for example.

Granted, these numbers would be disappointing for a new holoEN gen, but it shows that there is a hunger for new, interesting, actually entertaining talents.

Genuinely thought the western market would be more open to mixed-gender content but hard back-pedaled when it became obvious it's more like JP than they thought it would be.

That and I think they realized too late that appealing to Reddit was a bad move in terms of garnering western support especially when it had been a while since Coco left and long passed its point of relevancy ages ago. Toss in the mandated groupthink of referring to everything as "HoloPro" for a while to intentionally muddy the waters and going so far as to locking the sub when Tempus 2 debuted only goes to show they knew they were going to get blowback for not actually debuting EN3 well after a year and a half at that point since Council.

I agree with most of this but the subreddit gets locked during all debuts to prevent people spamming the same thing every 10 seconds
