What's even the point of this?

>> No.59037836

The point was to establish a framework in which gaming brands can approach cover and get their product featured. By picking specific holos and homos, they could get a desirable demographic mix which, in theory, would reach the audience the brand wants to target. It's not such a difficult concept to understand, really.

Yes, that's something I didn't understand either. If I had to guess, it's probably a marketing guy of the brand asking for a mix of male and female talents because it's a safe choice in the markets they are familiar with. They likely didn't do enough research on the marketing vehicle to understand that homos would cause the existing audience to be less receptive.

No, it's a very difficult concept to understand. The Hololive audience doesn't want intergender bullshit and there's absolutely no demand for Hololive, Homostars, or Cover to get involved with e-sports. HLZNTL was an idea that had no market and made no sense. I can only hope that whoever thought of it was shot in the face and fed to pigs for their failure.

The whole aim intended for this project was just plain retarded.

Why go for shooters instead of something less violent and more approachable to a general audience (Party games, rythm games, RPGs, sport/racing games, etc.)? Why does it have to specially have to involve teamwork? Why not allow them to go solo? They should've at least considered the Game shop Meruyama or the Olympic eSports approach before dumping money on deliberate Holo vs Holo shenanigans.

Their mistake was asking Irys and Lui to join which open the floodgates of angry Unicorn (not just their fans, mind you). Should have used people like Laplus and others who are homo friendly, this could still see a modest success.

At least that was the idea, but then the backlash happened. So who knows if they'll stick with this. What is clear though is that questions about the homos and their worth in the company has been brought up and Cover is struggling to make the relevant in any way they can.

So I guess the plan was to have a team of girls for the views, and a team of guys to actually show good gameplay. What they didn't realize is this fundamentally doesn't work since they can't gender-mix the teams, the guys will just stomp the girls.

Cover baited everyone into thinking the new brand was just for holos
Surprise shoved in homos for their very second sponsorship
Second sponsorship was fucking overwatch 2
For the holo side, they picked 3 girls that completely sucked at fps and never collabed with homos, so they were basically there as punching bags for homos
Numbers were basically halved compared to the previous sponsored event
The girls that collabed with the homos had to damage control by saying they were kind of forced by the management

HLZTL + Regloss not being JP7 + Regloss interacting with the homos raised red flags among the fanbase. Everyone believed it was a new branch that tolerated homo collabs (hence the fact that they were not JP7) so they didn't sub to them. They were at 60k subs after the first day before the culls, when normally they would've broken 100k subs (council, holoX, advent) and only 20k a couple of days before the debut

Would have worked had the Holostars can actually hold their own, but the differences in popularity between the two created nothing but manufactured drama and resentment within the fanbase and probably the Holos themselves. The Holo girls know they're just being used to pull in the views, while the Holostars know that they're riding the coattails of the girls.
I think if Cover wants to continue to go ahead with this project, they should just get a professional coaches (with no baggage, family man types, or ideally female pros) for each team of Hologirls, and show how beginners can have fun with the games under the tutelage of professional players, kinda similar to the Street Fighter CR cup with Korone/Botan which was pretty well-received.

Cover went public just recently. And since then two members of Tempus got axed, HLZNTL was a complete debacle, and reGLOSS is the most underperforming gen Holo JP history due in part to their Homo interactions. The Homos poison everything they touch, they're a bad investment, and investors were already asking questions before all this shit went down.

It's about the return on investment. You invest time and money in Hololive, you get a shitload of money in return.

Like I said, I think HLZNTL was a stupid idea and regloss being associated with it definitely did harm them but I still don't think it ends with them closing an entire branch and just giving up on capturing that female audience that investors want.

The shareholders asking why they cannot get a female audience doesn't read to me as them encouraging Yagoo to throw in the towel, quite the opposite actually. I expect them to continue throwing shit at the wall trying to make it work because they want a diverse business model and not to cede ground to their competitors, realistically I think they won't even give up on the esports shit because again, the investors just see it as extra markets to extract money from.

Just a question of if they stop trying to use Hololive girls to prop these projects up or not or if they even register the damage they cause doing so.

Such a succinct reflection of an era that fervently champions the disintegration of the once-respected ability to, you know, read. I suppose it's all the rage these days to proudly broadcast a reading comprehension that wouldn't challenge a potato. Bravo, my good compadre. Bravo.

See, in a time overflowing with the wonders of information, where the sum of human knowledge is just a tap away, it's truly an exquisite choice to not only abstain from partaking in this intellectual banquet but also to cry out like a petulant child forced to sit at the dinner table a minute longer than they'd like. "Mucho texto"? How refreshingly pedestrian.

Perhaps you lament the cruel design of a world where text is as ubiquitous as the air we breathe. It must be sheer torture to go about your day, faced with the nightmarish ordeal of road signs, product labels, and horror of horrors, those insufferable user agreements that require not just reading but - oh, the humanity! - understanding. What a twisted, Kafkaesque world you must navigate daily.

Think of the countless tragedies you must endure. Like misinterpreting the "caution, hot" warning on a coffee cup and wondering why your lap feels like it's auditioning for a Dantean circle of hell. Or when the assembly instructions for your latest impulse buy from IKEA seem more like deciphering the Rosetta Stone, leaving you with an abstract art piece instead of a coffee table. I genuinely shed a tear for you.

The very fact that our society dares to be text-heavy? It’s an abomination. I mean, honestly, how dare the world not cater to those with the attention span of a gnat on caffeine? And to think, such simple pleasures as books, newspapers, or comprehensible tweets are but inaccessible El Dorados to some. Truly, it's the unsung humanitarian crisis of our generation.

But let me extend my deepest and most genuine sympathies, for you're not just battling with textual inundation, but also with those callous souls who have the audacity to craft sentences longer than the lifespan of your average goldfish's memory. The nerve of some people. Fucking poets.

Please accept my most profound apologies for expecting even a modicum of mental exertion. How thoughtless of me.

That would make the unicorns seethe. Which I consider neutral, neither good nor bad. The bigger point is this: what’s the point of that? Are you trying to watch competent FPS with mixed-gender teams? Then why aren’t you watching fleshtubers? Do you want to watch vtubers specifically do this shit? Then why aren’t you on twitch? Do you mostly watch vtuber girls play FPS but don’t mind if they occasionally play with guys? Then shouldn’t you be watching VSPO?
Nobody who watches Hololive or Holostars comes for this. And the important effect of that is that no one in either corpo is used to making that sort of content anyway.

Cover has built the company around cute girls doing cute things. The reason they can’t have even a mildly competent esports team is the same reason you don’t have any pitchers batting not named Shohei Ohtani, who is so rare baseball only gets a guy like him even century (meaning definitely no one like that exists in vtubing).
If you got into Hololive, it’s because you worked hard to pass an audition that doesn’t focus on esports. You worked towards being a Hololive member, which isn’t related to esports. You didn’t and don’t have time to train like a professional gamer.
Istg if they want to make esports and vtubing a thing, just get the actual pros and make them stream with cute anime girl avatars. That shit’s hilarious, and people would mostly be there for the esports and not the vtubing anyway.

I think part of it is due to all the companies trying to capitalize on esports are all western, so there’s little incentive for Japan to care at all. That’s why Capcom is giving out a 1 million dollar prize pool for the first time ever, SF5 got prizes a fraction of that size. SF6 is one of the first and last chances for esports to blow up in Japan and it’s a genre they can compete in, they’ve never given a fuck about FPS which have dominated esports for years.

yes, randomly firing an entire branch for not getting the same viewership as the girls would make even the average hololive fan and the members themselves mad at cover. you'd have to be a complete corporate bootlicker to support that kind of behavior because even a black company like anycolor wouldn't stoop that low. not to mention the actual former idols in hololive also have bad experiences with the groups they were in treating the lower performing members poorly and essentially kicking them out for not being as popular and once the company admits to only caring about popularity over the members themselves, even if it's in relation to a group YOU don't like, you'd probably see a complete morale shift across the entire company with quite a few(not just the ones that talked to holostars) who will start to lose motivation knowing that the company will treat them worse if they aren't up to the standards of the most popular. it's a slippery slope you don't want to cross, once you accept it with holostars, soon it will be "oh Flare doesn't get enough CCV on her streams compared to Marine, why should she get a new outfit?" then "oh kanata didn't get enough views on her latest cover compared to suisei's, why should we let her take up studio time over her?" then "oh we noticed some members don't sell as much merch, why are we wasting money on specialized unique merch? we'd save more just doing standardized stuff!"

Nothing wrong with the male branch and their low revenue as long as they stay in their lines and don't affect the girls. once they affect the girls and damage the brand, they need to go, because 1 holo is worth more than the entire homo branch
Remove the hololive production nonsense and do like BanG Dream! with their male branch
>From Argonavis' former name was stylistically written in all caps (ARGONAVIS from BanG Dream!) to differentiate the project and band names. Although it was titled Argonavis from BanG Dream!, the BanG Dream! franchise creator Takaaki Kidani stated that there will be no interaction between the girls in the main BanG Dream! universe and the new project as they are in different worlds from the one another.[6] While the Argonavis project was originally planned as an extension of the general BanG Dream! franchise, mixed reception to the appearance of male characters in the original all-female franchise prompted Argonavis to be turned into an independent project in an alternative continuity.

I dunno looking at it from the perspective of someone that is just interested in numbers and making money it looks more like Cover is leaving a lot of money on the table by failing to appeal to half the population in any significant way.

Just compare the revenue of the top 2 companies, Anycolor that has a mixed gender operation with a mixed gender fanbase brings in $60 million last quarter while Cover brings in only just over half of that at $34 million. Like its not even in the same ball park, appealing to both genders is clearly far more successful as a strategy.

no, they didn't stand a chance because cover made mentioning them taboo and basically tried to launch a new company while getting met with anger from people like you who then created a bad image of them to the outside observer. If a vtuber debuted and when you went to check them out, all you saw were angry and negative comments, you'd probably leave. You click on a video with more dislikes than likes and the first thing the average person assumes is that the video is not worth the time or is bad without even giving it a chance.

>> No.59125641

>>59125235
The revenue numbers need context. Cover didn't get as much as anycolor because their best performing quarter is always the holofes quarter, while Anycolor overperforms during koshien quarter. Anycolor also has better merch margins and better scalability in merch sales. That has nothing to do with having mixed gender operation.

Cover offers a completely different product as Anycolor. Hololive only got popular because it was an all girl group made of fantasy creatures/animal girls and attracted idol fans, so there's no overlap between cover and anycolor. This is not 1+1=2. You force males into hololive and you risk losing viewers and revenue, not earning more.

You clearly can't tell what Miyabi is saying here. He's basically saying that hardcore unicorns basically didn't give them a chance to actually be themselves, they had to walk on eggshells even before debut because the slightest thing could invite hostility, and even people outside of hololive avoided collabing with them because of the image people had of them and because mentioning them was taboo, nobody knew it existed unless you were a hardcore vtuber otaku who was actively looking for it. Literally what I said, people who met the debuts with anger and hostility ruined any chance they could've had, combined with the impossible task of putting yourself out there under those conditions.

I'm looking at Anycolor's numbers and the 1st quarter for them has been their worst quarter every year since as far as their numbers go back... But yeah you are right that forcing males into Hololive probably wouldn't work out too well at this point. As an investor though you must be sat there thinking, why cant they just launch a male product and have it do well too? Is it purely luck that Hololive is a currently a success if the people running it can't launch males and make them a success when other companies prove you can make males a success?
