I always enjoy the 3D streams more because even if they're just sitting around I can at least get more nuance from their movements and how they express themselves so I end up enjoying it a lot more, but the 2D stuff lately has been getting better than it was before

Usually streamers especially vtubers will put on The Voice ™️ and seem more relaxed off stream which is why so many get asked to talk in their 'real' voice but it seems these two just are the exact same off stream, adorable

Girl DM and Snuffy had some of the most impressive models back in 2021
Fauna was having issues with her hands during an earlier 3D stream so I guess all of them are kind of stuck in this 2D mode even for their 3D model streams so their arms and hands don't track at all and need to be toggled into positions, I don't know why it's like that

is there a name to all the jutsus Ollie has in HoloCure?
lucid python
Yes but I need to refresh my Naruto knowledge to remember the exact names
Fire one is definitely Fireball Jutsu
I wanna say the lightning one is Chidori but it doesn't operate like it does in the show/manga. In Naruto, Chidori is a close range melee attack but in HoloCure the lightning jutsu is a screen-wide multi-target ranged attack.
Water one is probably Water Dragon Jutsu
Earth I remember seeing in the show but can't for the life of me remember what it's called
empty night
no shot is lightning chidori
There were other lightning ones but I don't remember enough naruto to know if one was close eough to this one
twilit viper
Do you guys have video of these things?
sharp adder
I'm a Naruto nerd but I don't know holocure
Okay, so it seems like they're some generic elemental based moves
the lightning could be Chidori Nagashi, a variant of Sasuke's Chidori that shoots lightning all around him
The fire one is definitely Goukakyuu
there's actually a guy in the anime only that uses soap bubbles as his whole shtick but in the anime and manga there's a guy that uses water and oil to make bubbles that he can shoot out at great speeds
so that one is probably the one Ollie is using, Suiryuudan shoots out a large dragon shaped water missile and from what I saw Ollie just shoots bubbles around her
Think that's all of them, the rocks is just a basic nature transformation that is not any specific ability people can just do that if they have an affinity or learn to control earth chakra

60% revenue goes to the talents in the cut but also they take care of all streaming expenses including ASMR mics (which are insanely expensive) so it turns out on average 75% of the revenue goes to the talent
Now there seems to be a bit of a trick here because they didn't say what they buy their talents the talents get to keep as theirs (well, and part of it is pretty much guaranteed not to be theirs exactly, this isn't vshojo) , but most of these investments are things they'd have had to pay a lot for normally so it still helps them a lot.
$6k debut package
not a fan of them framing it as if that part is the same as money going to the talent, but all in all it seems like Idol talents are pretty well taken care of

plus she's doing some pretty impressive stuff with 3D that I haven't seen others really do that much if at all, you go dragon girl 
crude beacon
Yeah zen never has not done tts in dont think
sharp adder
She actually didn't even have TTS way back when she wasn't even in Vshojo yet
She was just completely silent
The TTS was very very wonky at first and it took a bit to develop her current tech and model and the current smooth and nice Zen voice she has now 
It was a big problem before because a lot of people assumed she was mute or had a disability or something and a lot of people didn't like the TTS at all but she's always said that she really really wants to stay private and not let pretty much any of her personal deets get out there due to fears of being recognized, stalked, doxxed, pretty much just wanting to live her private life in peace and I respect that
I remember I was around back when this was happening I just didn't watch Zen a lot, back then I was like ''oh great another western vtuber jumping on the bandwagon of vtubers, greeeeaaat'' 
that was before HoloEN I think

They both get new models and vanish for months
and graduate
without a single word on why
lucid python
My guess is no agreement on further contracts. Cover is fairly transparent about stuff like if the talents are sick physically or mentally or if there's discipline issues, but the actual business side is more cloudy.
The announcement mentions graduation being their decision and that was so for Sana as well, but with Sana they openly talked about her health issues and said negotiations were intense to see if things could be worked around.

Then when she doesn't post about it people are all like "It must have died, she's not taking care of it, etc."

To be fair I do think it's a little wild to have a monkey as a pet but those people go pretty far with that stuff because of course people do that
Nothing new there especially coming from vtuber fans

Also calling it a monkey is a misnomer, it's a bush baby, which is a primate, but not really close to what is biologically a monkey
The meme of "fucking monkey" came from some kaigai-niki who responded to one of Pekora's tweets about Jill (the bush baby) with "fucking monkey"
Pekora thought it was fucking hilarious

you also get to speak (well, type) a lot of it daily, so your English is probably way better than my Japanese

I still have hiccups with some words and sentences that I have a hard time pronouncing that might give it away

I'm rubbish at pronunciation/accent stuff in every language, so I'm sure my Japanese sounds hilarious and everyone in Japan was too polite to say so
my vocabulary is definitely much weaker in Japanese, though by all accounts my English vocab is above average so maybe my standards are too high for that
sharp adder
I think I have an acceptable level of pronunciation just because Japanese and Spanish is already so similar in pronunciation but I just don't know any significant japanese at all

Who
lucid python
Two of the members of Holostars EN. They went dark a couple months ago with an announcement from Cover saying all their activities would be paused until further notice, then a couple weeks ago it was announced they would be graduating. Today is the official date of graduation, though they did not get any sort of graduation celebration or stream.
crude beacon
Oh i saw noir once
Guess something came up and cover is gonna old yeller any accounts and info they had
lucid python
There is no officially stated reason for the graduation beyond "they made the decision to graduate", but the prevailing thought is that they did not reach agreements with Cover for renewal of their contracts before their 1 year anniversary.
crude beacon
Thats not surprising. It happens
sharp adder
It feels weird how only 2 of all the graduated holo vtubers graduated on "good terms"
With a full graduation stream and leadup to the graduation and a goodbye message and all that
The others were either "fired", were forced to graduate abruptly or silently graduated with no heads up or final stream
lucid python
I'd consider these two neutral terms. They're not necessarily leaving completely of their own accord, but it's not like they were fired or forced to leave
sharp adder
I mean in the sense they did not say goodbye, had a final stream, or gave a heads up before
lucid python
At least if the prevailing thought is the truth behind the graduations
sharp adder
They probably just disagreed with some contract stuff about working on such a huge company like Cover/Hololive which is fine, it was probably amicable but the lack of final goodbye or a heads up does kinda feel sad
I imagine whatever their issues with the contracts were is the reason they probably chose not to do a final stream
lucid python
Yeah I wish we at least got that. Both of them got major model updates right before the radio silence too
lucid python
Hololive's relatively low turnover rate means whenever a Holomem graduates it hits like a truck
2 Holostars whose names I forget: Amicable graduations, one due to poor health
Mano Aloe: Amicable graduation, y'all know the story
All of Hololive China: Amicable graduations, nothing that happened was their fault
Kiryu Coco: Amicable graduation, one hell of an honorable sendoff
Tsukumo Sana: Amicable graduation, my heart still has not recovered
Uruha Rushia: Fired, not amicable with Cover, though other Holomems that have spoken on it wish it didn't have to be the way it went
sharp adder
I get really sad about Rushia's situation because she seemed genuinely a bit unstable at the time and it sucks that the entire situation was very public and out there and probably still is one of the biggest vtuber related controversies/"scandals"
lucid python
It was really like a "We really wish we didn't have to do this but we have rules and some serious ones were broken" thing. It was a lapse in judgement and possible manipulation depending on what rumors/sources you believe but it ended badly for everyone involved
I gained immense respect for Fubuki during the debacle, though. She came forward to say that neither Cover nor Rushia should be "blamed" for anything, and one reason she has been with Hololive for so long is particularly because she believes the company is fair, honest, and treats talents well and she'd be the first to blow the whistle if that ever stopped being the case for anyone whether it's her or not.

oh, I don't think I know any of the "stories" behind these graduations, I just remember everyone being sad about Sana when that was happening
twilit viper
sharp adder
oh, I don't think I know any of the "stories" behind these graduations, I just r...
Sana was such a sweetheart
If I remember the reason she graduated wasn't even due to any problems with Cover or any controversies at all she just had health issues that made it impossible to continue her streaming activities
Which is the most tragic reason because she was so fun and happy all the time
twilit viper
Considering Mouse's condition in comparison, that must've been really serious for her to have to stop o.O
sharp adder
Mouse is different in the sense that streaming was likely the only thing she COULD do since poor Mousey had been bedridden for so long and barely started walking again in recent years
lucid python
Mano Aloe: Was part of Hololive Gen 5, but shortly before debut she had a test stream that accidentally went live, and information that could be used to identify her was visible. She and someone identified as her ex-boyfriend were stalked and harassed. It was determined the fires from this mishap couldn't be put out and the decision was made for Aloe to graduate.
Hololive China: A China-based branch of Hololive that streamed on both YouTube and Chinese video site bilibili. After Coco and Akai Haato's streams where they read channel analytics and pointed out their viewers from Taiwan (which Google, a US company, identifies as its own country rather than part of China), the HoloCN members as well as Coco and Haato were brigaded and harassed heavily. Even violent threats were made against Cover if something wasn't done and an apology wasn't given, so Cover issued an apology (actually 2 apologies, worded very differently for Chinese and international audiences), made Coco and Haato apologize and suspended them for 3 weeks, and dissolved Hololive China. The CN members held graduation streams in the 5 days leading up to the deletion of their channels.
Kiryu Coco: Made the decision to graduate citing company restrictions keeping her from doing some of the streams and making some of the content she wanted. She understood them, they just didn't line up with how she wanted to grow as a streamer. It is also thought that the above Taiwan debacle had a hand in her decision to graduate. This came as a huge surprise because Coco was easily one of Hololive's most popular members at the time, spearheaded the creation of Hololive English, and certainly had a legendary career ahead of her.
Tsukumo Sana: Graduated due to ongoing serious health issues that made streaming on any sort of consistent schedule impossible. Her and Ina cite it being some sort of back injury or condition. Even in Cover's graduation notice they note how they were more than willing to work with whatever Sana might need to do but Sana made the decision to not continue. Truly lamentable.

iirc Hitomi Chris is the first Holomem to be fired, but afaik any info on her termination is rumors since not much official statements were given, if any
sharp adder
I unfortunately didn't pay much attention to Holo Council for the short time Sana was there since I mostly consume clips and highlights and not full streams because I can't constantly watch every single one so I only really noticed her absence once she was gone
She wasn't the beegest member but she was the one that really brought the whole group together and lightened up every stream
north siren
wow, China lost a whole Hololive group entirely because of rule 2 nonsense
lucid python
Oh and Rushia: During a stream her Discord window was temporarily visible. A conversation mentioning her going to someone's house was seen and the conversation mentioned a "he." Based on this alone some people thought she had a boyfriend and lost their shit. In the ensuing social media fire rumors and inner-circles suggest Rushia gave some sort of confidential company information to rival vtuber agencies, possibly in an effort to get people off her back and just make problems go away. Rushia was clearly mentally unwell during this, so it's thought that people took advantage of her mental state to make her do and say things she wouldn't otherwise do, costing her job.
sharp adder
And most tragic is that she seemed very happy and proud she got the chance to do something like that 
north siren
did Coco go on to stream somewhere else or invent a new vtuber persona, or just quit the whole scene?

wow, China lost a whole Hololive group entirely because of rule 2 nonsense

Most of the times, sometimes small details can be negotiated afterwards to fit better but overall they're all done before

Calli must've walked into the audition and as soon as they saw her they were like "you're hired"
I'm sure some may be done after the fact but a lot of the times I think they're mostly done beforehand with some details they can work out later with some input from the girls
Like how Calli wanted a bit less uh, size
And then there's Kiara getting so upset and passionate about her buff
