So Hololive and Nijisanji have begun allowing their talents to collab with each other for the first time. The first official crossover was a Terraria stream between Alban Knox of Nijisanji's Noctyx group and Regis Altare of Holostars Tempus, while Selen Tatsuki of is currently streaming Apex Legends with Kureiji Ollie and Vestia Zeta. The Forbidden Door of Vtubing has finally opened! In the EN side of both companies, at the very least. JP side has done a few, and the ID branches, though that's usually with IN or JP. EN cross company is more or less a first.

And, speaking of "oshi", I ask you guys, who's yours?
I'll probably later babble on and make a list on who is my favorite, with honorable mentions even, but top of my head I will say it's Mumei. The soft voice shifting to "gremlin noises" and overall personality. Content as well. She's my fave for hololive. Nijisanji either Nina because just listen to that voice. Or Enna for the unhinged personality.
Fun fact, as I recall, Enna wanted Reimu's design while Reimu wanted Enna's because they felt those designs fit them more. True enough, at the same time the dissonance in design and personality worked out well.

I'm sure most around these parts will get a kick out of the latest short from Hololive's Watame:
I fully expect Great O-Khan to be adding this move to his repertoire in his next bout.

Mildly amusing. The winning son, Roberu, has a new costume, and it's unjacketed version reminds people of the Rock rocking that turtleneck.

Vesper is suspended for 2 weeks for something that happened offline/behind the scenes. That's a wee bit concerning.

Apparently, a sign with holoEN's Vesper was brought to AEW.

I actually listened to that song from Brad Taste In Music's video on her new album, and I'm reminded that Calli's one of the few V-Tubers I dislike (and one I regret liking).

Personally, I kinda preferred her earlier Vtuber songs before the albums were made so I stopped paying much attention aside from a few let's plays.
Did look around to see what was happening since it became a topic of discussion from the fandom. On the countdown to the album being released, she mentioned her intent with the lyrics. Honestly, music-wise this isn't really my genre so I don't have an opinion on that regard.
Now as for content, for me I'd be leaning on some caution from here on out from her more or less. Didn't really follow her career before her hololive days, but do know enough that there's some red flags. She did it before she was 17, same time she didn't really apologize. That's as far as I know. Don't think that there was anything else in between that and what has gone on.
That's just my two cents on the matter regarding this. As a VTuber watcher, my interests went towards other VTubers after a while, so again my knowledge regarding Calli and any other controversy surrounding her is not a lot. Just settling on caution unless another controversy happens past this.

OK, I have a confession to make...I'm getting into this...kinda.
I mentioned a way back in here how I thought it was a cool idea but that I didn't think it was something I'd be in. While I'm not really into Japanese culture much anymore I've stumbled onto HololiveEN compilations. While the random Japanese phrases get tiring for me, I'm kind of liking it.
Personally my favorites so far are: Vesper (who sounds like he's lived on hell of a life) Gura (Great singing and uke playing) Baels (I always get a kick out of Australians for some reason.) Axel (See above) Ame (Just sounds like a normal person) Flay (He's just so lively lol) Irys (See Ame)
Least favorite is probably Kiara. The Baby Talk and aggressive sexual innuendos are f***ing annoying.

In hololive:
Vesper is a lot of fun - his voice says hinged.... but his actions do not. His Classic WOW streams are a lot of fun to put on in the background while I play retail.
Of the male talent I really enjoy Bettel and Magni too - they really seem to gravitate into cringe content and I love to feel their pain lolol.
My other current favs (sorta changes by my mood and whats in at the moment and if it matches any of their strengths) are Irys, Fauna, Kaela, and Ame.
Kiara is the talent that I first ran into, so you could say she got me into Vtubers - but I think she has been on a fairly dry streak for awhile now. Her strength used to be her handcam streams to me, but either I am not catching them or she doesn't do them anymore.

Been a while, and a bit busy, so keeping this quick.
HoloEN 3 is coming soon.

Welp. Both Magni and Vesper from holoStarsEN have parted ways with hololive. The two went on a hiatus for a while, but still unexpected considering how Vesper just got his VTuber model redesigned.

Announcement from the rest of StarsEN. Nothing said about why Magni and Vesper graduating, obviously, but doesn't feel like a Rushia situation. Quite a few are speculating that both guys decided not to renew their contracts.

Obviously they never fully recovered from the trauma of losing to Kronii so many times. Too bad, those collabs were some of the best content they’ve put out in the last year.
Man, 2023 has not been kind to the vtuber community…

Man, 2023 has not been kind to the vtuber community… In general, this time of year can be pretty heavy when it comes to VTuber "graduations". Certainly though, maybe thanks to the size of the VTubing community, 2023 has pretty rough. Nijisanji in general thanks to the size of its roster has had a ton of graduations. Top of my head, EN branch has Nina and Mysta, with Zaion getting fired. ID branch had a lot of graduations, and JP has had longtime liver Gundou fired due to baseball.
