nijien won't completely implode or be dissolved but there will be a steady trickle of graduations with maybe one or two more terminations as well
if we're talking industry-wide then I'd expect at least one holoen graduation as well though on less controversial terms, phase essentially taking niji's place as the EN #2 culturally if not necessarily financially, and maybe this is just wishful thinking but more and more indies will realize the corpo life isn't worth it in the vast majority of instances (if they weren't already piecing that together from last year's drama)

HoloEN1 gets their 3D models updated. Advent gets 3Ds and very likely new gen debuts for JP, ID, and EN. Release date+playable beta for HoloEarth (for the actual game component of that metaverse).
>Niji
I only follow Toko and Ange, so no comment. Before it would have been just Luxiem 3Ds. Now, we'll probably see at least Luxiem and Ethyria given how each group has been responding. Someone mentioned more waves, very likely. Haven't really paid attention to the non-monetary aspects of joining Niji before this drama, but now I have to lower my expectations. Limiting an applicant's non-Niji online footprint and the other party accepting requires a very specific type of person. A VTA system, unironically, would increase the surface-level "quality".
>PC
I'm interested to see where Phase goes with the JP branch. Their sub numbers are bad, but it represents PC's attempt in properly expanding into JP. Their current performance is probably what Holo expected from when it debuted it's ID and EN branches. Happy for berylschizo.
>Idol
ES branch finally.
>Isegye
Will see growth, but fracturing of fan base due to unfortunately being originally Twitch, but having to adapt to both YouTube and AfreecaTV as it tries to figure out how to properly transition (or Twitch somehow becomes a non-issue).
>Elsewhere
Hopefully EU does something. Doesn't even need a corpo, just a strong associated streaming group.

[Anonymous No.]

>>68610659
Anycolor will pull out of the international market entirely due to a mixture of mass graduations, declining stock, and negative reputation. Remaining livers are quietly merged with the main branch. The talents lucky/smart enough to jump ship either go indie, get swiped up by another corp looking to fill the power vacuum, or retire from streaming altogether.

[Anonymous No.]

Hololive will release a gacha game to capitalize on the fact that a decent amount of their talent plays gacha games on stream. This will be used a way to gauge the demand for offical Hololive games.
NijiEN will continue to decline. EN will survive 2024 in a dying state. Will eventually be absorbed into the JP branch in 2025.

For Hololive, we'll get at least one new gen this year, probably JP7, and also likely to get the next ID gen 4. EN4 will be cooking but probably not come this year. Advent will continue to do well in the meantime.

Holoearth will progress and there will probably a playable beta version for the video game portion. Online concerts and events will gradually be shifted into Holoearth, though hard to tell if it's on the table for this year.

Once Holoearth is completed, big capex spending will slow, and Yagoo will finally start giving the shareholders some dividends.

As for Niji, they will continue to be wracked by scandals and graduations. Damaging leaks will continue as the EN branch turns in on itself. At least two other big stars in the EN branch will graduate this year. and middle-tier Livers will continue trickling out. Bunker mentality will set in and attacks on ex-Livers who remain present on the internet will grow more vicious, even those who ostensibly graduated on good terms.

My expectation is that sometime in late 2024 or the first half of 2025, Nijisanji will give up on Niji EN and fold the branch into JP. The clique socipaths who had been chasing Livers out of the company will leave almost immediately, because they will have no management to leverage to help them hurt people anymore.

My Predictions:
Hololive EN: No new EN debuts, slight incline
Nijisanji EN: More graduations, slight decline for remaining members, two more terminations
Phase Connect: Slight incline, 2023 was their breakout year, this is near their ceiling
Idol: Slight decline, despite drama people will watch them
V4Mirai: massive incline spurred on by braves backing and collaborations
Globie: slight incline, talents are not good enough
Myholotv: might dissolve this year, Liliana and Karot are hardly genmates, company doesn't do anything
Kawaii: stagnation, gen 4 slight incline, kawaii days are over
Prism: slight incline, Jun moderate incline
First Stage Production (avallum): moderate incline, high potential due to being only en males besides nijisanji en
Pixel Link: slight growth, corpo plagued with cute but boring girls and known whores in a cute company
Vreverie: moderate decline, more graduations, debuts will be cut or cancelled
V&U: moderate decline due to more competition, their girls are too plain
Bond: moderate decline, more graduations, unserious company
Eien: moderate incline as the girls compete with riifu and their lewd talents post more
Nexstage Project: stagnation, they can't get any lower
Vshojo: they are basically indies, I guess they'll slightly incline with all their new members

Did I forget anyone?

[Anonymous No.]

Hololive
>Graduations
Ollie. More and more of what she likes doing is less and less successful.
>Debuts
EN debuts late into the year. ID is either very soon or won't happen for a long while, possibly because Cover is trying to find a way to make them not dependent on the EN audience. Dev_is2 is also probably soon. I don't think JP7 is happening for a long, long time. I know that many have been thinking that Cover will push the button on launching a new overseas branch, but I don't think it'll happen. HoloKR or HoloTW would've happened by now if Cover thought launching a branch there was worth it. The best chances are on potential branches like HoloES or HoloEU, but an EU audience could just be gathered with more advertising and streaming during better hours for them, likely by an EN gen. Even though Spanish is the next biggest language for a vtuber audience, I don't think it's big enough for Cover to go for.
>Other Big News
An NA 3D studio. Now that there's three gens, there's probably enough of a profit to be made with building a smaller 3D studio in NA. 11 of the 15 members would be able to make use of it, and it'd be easier for future 3D debuts of future gens.
A few big collabs. Maybe Fortnite. Probably a few notable gachas.
A big change in policy that will be controversial, but will ultimately be beneficial.

Holostars
>Debuts
Going to say that the past will predict the future and HomoEN4 will debut 6 months after HomoEN3 did. Also going to say that HomoJP5 will be debuted as a last-ditch effort to make them successful. Teased after 5th fes, advertised harder than any other gen ever has been.
>Graduations
Maybe one. Feel like someone will want to. Not like I'd know who.

Nijisanji
>Debuts
Standard JP debuts. Only one EN wave. From then on, maybe a few single debuts, but even that seems unlikely to me.
>Graduations
More ex-ID graduations, as usual. Probably some smaller JPs and maybe a big JP graduation. Most likely many EN graduations from those wanting to GTFO.
>Other Big News
Loss of Koshien being a solely Niji event. Merging of EN into JP. Results in an ex-ID style graduation relay for a lot of the now ex-EN members. Kotoka and Meloco are unaffected.

Phase Connect
>Debuts
Maybe more invaders or something. Probably not a fourth gen for a long while.
>Graduations
Pippa.

>>68610659
>Hololive
New EN and ID gens debut
>Holostars
It seems that they wanted to pump out as many homos as possible so they could collab with each other, therefore there may not be a new gen debut this year. Current talents will get 3D.
>NijiEN
They'll definitely debut at least 1 new wave that will unperform by all possible metrics. I can see 2-4 current talents leaving which will include Vox. He's gonna get into VShojo because Mysta and Nina are will vouch for him. Why would he leave? Since niji talents get scraps from merch, best they can do is farm memberships and superchats, and that worked fine for him when he was doing coomer content, but if he wants to do more tame content and maintain good money flow, he'll need to get good merch cut which niji doesn't offer.
>First Stage Product
A literal who corpo that just debuted their first EN male group. They're getting around half of StarsEN numbers, which is a lot for a group that no one knows anything about. So, the next logical move for them is to either step up their homo game and debut more males to grab more of niji/stars audience or try their luck with girls.
>VShojo
Will definitely add 2-4 new members. New talents will most likely be ex-niji, but I can seem them pouching someone like Bettel because that dude would definitely fair better as a streamer in VSJ, and he doesn't really seem to be that much into idol activities.
>VSPO
EN gen is coming because they held auditions. The only reason they wouldn't debut EN girls this year is if something went terribly wrong, which is not very likely.
>Other corpos
The usual stuff: some new gens, random drama, maybe a small fan meet/concert for Phase Connect or IdolEN.
