What the fuck happened /vt/?
How did the very person who invented the term and genre "Virtual Youtuber" end up a forgotten relic most vtuber fans have no idea about?

I don't disbelieve you, but I might be behind. Last I heard she stepped away from being a managerial position in the company, but it didn't seem like it completely ruled her out as a VA.
Has she officially done other stuff that precludes her from being Kizuna when she finally comes back?

Also agree that they totally botched that 'come-back' hype they could have used. Building hype and then going "oh wait no, nothing for months" was pretty lame.

AI wasn't just a channel owned by one person like how most vtubers are these days, she was an entire production ran by a small startup company.
Think Sora and Hololive prior to gen 1.

When i said "her company" I meant "the company she worked for". She only became involved in management after it was bought back by investors.

Really? That's very sad. Are these archived anywhere?
It's been forever since I followed her, but I have good memories watching her vids almost daily when she was new. I especially loved watching her Inside playthrough.

You mean like voice acting already does with characters? Big waste of good models. Aloe should have been recast.

It's much different when they're livestreamers. People have a much greater separation of the character and the actor. Ironically this is true even in live action. In vtubing it seems like most people treat the acknowledgement of the separation between the streamer and the avatar as a formality.

Used to work there, by the end of her time she was basically a puppet, no control over her social media, management earpiece telling her what do during streams, lots of forced coomer content for views, blocked collabs with friends, stopped letting her do music, basically turned her dream job into something miserable. The whole Polka depression/menhera was a direct result of her time there.
