HERE COME A NEW CHALLENGER: Yesterday the latest member of Hololive EN was announced: IRyS Full debut on the weekend. All ready I like the design and I'm assuming since she's being classified as a Vsinger as opposed to a Vtuber she will be wholly if not fully involved in the music production aspect of the business as opposed to playing video games and the like. The funny thing is she started getting so many followers on Twitter upon unveiling her account that it got restricted because I guess Twitter thought all the followers were bots or something?

Feels like that would be the case, with maybe some regular VTuber once in a while. Like, similar to the JP branch's AZKi, since after a while she began doing a few video gaming content here and there.

Thought I posted about it. As always when I think that thought, turns out I didn't.
Anyways, want more NijiEN? You're in luck! On Sunday here where I am... which is today because I forgot to post about it, Nijisanji sends out their second wave of their EN branch! First was Lazulight, and now here comes Obsydia:

Out of this lot Petra is my personal favorite (With Rosemi and Selen coming in tied at a close second.)
I love the design and the visual novel intro Petra used in her debut was straight fire.

If this becomes a plot point in the Hangman/Omega feud, then it will most certainly become the greatest storyline of all time.
"Hey Page, Watson is MY Waifu! Hands off!"

So Hololive's continued ascent into the mainstream continues with Gura making a cameo in a new Taco Bell commercial:

Korone and Okayu's chats are always fun because they do genuinely seem to be friends outside of the Hololive structure thingie, which is nice. They do seem quite close.

As I recall, Korone and Okayu were already a pair during their time in another VTuber company. Number of them seem pretty close outside of their companies. Coco and Kanata come to mind as they live together, and to a lesser extent Suisei as the three originally set out to find an apartment room where the three of them live together, but essentially settled with Coco and Amane on one arpartment room, while Suisei is essentially a next door neighbor. Coco and Kanata are definitely close, recalling when Coco broke down mid-stream due to the harassment and Kanata basically banged on Coco's room door and went in to comfort her. Another one that comes to mind is Ange and Lize from Nijisanji being friends years before joining. And if it's really true Kana and Tomoe from the same organization seem to be in a relationship. F For a male example, again in Nijisanji Kanae and Kuzuha have known each other before Kuzuha joined.

Speaking of Korone, this past week she got clearance from management to play Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and well just when I thought this dog lady couldn't get any more adorable here she is reaching a new plateau by singing along to the title theme:

That's why our favorite Doggo is so beloved overseas, due to her love of Western made media especially cartoons as the two previous examples have shown. To further drive home that point she mentioned when she was laid up for a bit last spring she binged Phineas and Ferb on Disney+.

HoloEN Gen 2 now has a coming soon announcement, with silhouettes of the models shown. The outlines look great and people are of course trying to guess the themes of the girls' designs. Two of them are super obvious, one has antlers/branches on her head and is holding an apple, so obviously some kind of plant/nature-themed design. The other is covered head to toe in clock things, so a clock/time person.

The other is covered head to toe in clock things, so a clock/time person. Yep. First for the English is HoloMyth, and the theme they're going for this time is called Hololive - Council. Tsukumo Sana for space, Ceres Fauna for nature, Ouro Kronii for time, Nanashi Mumei for civilization, and Hakos Baelz for chaos. All of them start today on the 17th, and will have a debut relay then a group collab on the 22nd.

Kiara and her mom had a recent collab in Minecraft. Like her RL mom, as VTubers also call the artist who drew their models as mama or papa. Anyway, it seems that it'll be a monthly thing, much to the joy of fans. The fans really get interested when the VTuber's RL parents get involved. Top of my head, Matsuri's mom streamed with her and even got a VTuber model, and Pekora told her mom that she was a VTuber during a stream when she hit 1m subs.
From the looks of it, Kiara's mom is the most gamer out of them. Recall a story where she got Kiara interested in the old Diablo 2. Mentioned quite a bit of games during the recent collab too, from Quake to System Shock.
Also, she butchered a whole pig in real life.

At this rate by this time next year we might be bearing witness to the greatest new branch of them all: Holomoms.

Shark girls and Sabaton. Not a combination that I ever expected, but is welcome.
