Man, it's been a packed week or so for Hololive fans.
We've had:
Myth 2nd anniversary stuff ending with a 360-degree 3D collab
HoloID 3D debuts (in Japan no less)
New original song from Kiara, a collab cover with Bae and Mumei, and Ame's cover of King
Gura's first big 3D Live concert with Awesome Lore Animation, cute duets, a trio, desires to eat/be eaten, and Cardboronii
and probably other stuff that I'm too addled and sleep-deprived to remember at the moment!

Bae and Mumei's song release afterparty stream was fun. They have really goofy chemistry together.

Whaaaaaat? Bae and Mumei released a new cover? Omg ! ( the afterparty stream is very funny lol). Today we have Ame and Mume collab, how that would go? very comfy I assume.

Cardboronii is pretty badass, she's back and more mafia than ever, there was a bit of a drama but she doesn't want to care about that anymore and the company gives full support, I find myself loving her more and more.

So Nijifest if happening soon and a lot of new 3D models come with it ...or they would but the stupid hurricane just caused a bunch of flights to be cancelled. It was painful to hear Pomu cry after she was so excited for it. Ugh...
Here's the announcement: https://twitter.com/NIJISANJI_World/status/1575328273806299136
At least we're still getting Hana but this still sucks so bad. The ones who can't make it definitely prepared a lot for the event.

Funnier news, Zeta finally admitted she's a cat fr this time: https://youtu.be/UqFRHjEY3pI

Pomu x Enna on Nina's stream: https://youtu.be/xz5kCneTEis

Also, go watch the Pomu/Selen model swap streams! "Selen" https://youtu.be/8Xcq_pQq0Yw
"Pomu" https://youtu.be/cgUder3jUDM

Lastly for now, Delutaya finally has an l2d model and it's streaming publicly on YT. It's been 2+ years and she definitely sounds a lot better. Glad she's doing better for reals. Proper debut here: https://youtu.be/3D6YvX_w-C0

I need to finish the Holo EN x ID amogus collab, there's a lot of really funny clips tho. Kobo made her mums prouds XD

BaeRyS moment feat Azki: https://youtu.be/IzMaxpfMHGM

And DO NOT MISS the Mario Party collabs both yesterday's NijiEN and HoloEN. Surprisingly, the Holo one was significantly more toxic.

Lots of Teetee everywhere! and I'm glad the nonsensical borders between niji and holo are breaking down, like I'm not naive enough to say "Just do it, why don't you just do it?? :/" because there ARE sickos in the community and it's a pain to deal with that, but you can't just give up on that and never try again.

About BaeRys, if you watch the last minecraft stream a couple of weeks ago with Sana tower, you can tell how incredibly close Bae And IRyS are, they sound like they're married while Kromeii sounds like they're still in the first dates phase hahahah you feel me? it's so obvious that at some point Kronii got jealous and demanded more teetee from Mumei LOL

Mario Party collab was so TOXIC LOL the first one was like a nuclear test site and hilarious af, the one yesterday was more tame but still super hilarious, rip Vesper

Oh my God, I love yuri, I absolutely do but Magni Dezmond and Rio senpai interactions ... aaahhh my heart, this isn't your average teete! they made me feel like the girls in Kami eshi JK to OL fujoshi that couldn't control their emotions
This is their first collab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znplqdbZZZw

And today in his birthday stream he received a call and it was the cutest thing! Magni was fan of Rio before joining debuting by the way so of course he's happy but Rio is just.... aaahh man! I can't describe it, but I can compare it, for example when I'm seeing yuri or just duos that I like streaming, I feel good, warm inside, it's happy! but when I was watching that stream, I had to run away, it was an overdose!

Speaking of cute tee tee moments, PomuTori happened: https://youtu.be/oSYdxjEWpto
There's some clips but they didn't catch all the good moments, go watch the whole thing when you have the time if you weren't there when it was live. Kiara definitely held back a lot, guess she wanted to be super safe because it was the first one. Poms' advances got ignored so many times lmao

And speaking of not catching all the clipable moments, Selen feat Ollie and Zeta was great too! Go watch the archive because the Ollie simping HARD moment is never with the funny moments clips for whatever reason.

Kiwawa's other wifi also had a tee tee moment lol https://youtu.be/itNQQYGC8kw
And also check Kiara's Twitter too! Frogiwawa was simping hard for HaneAme again lol

I'll be watching the fall guys collab with Bae+Fauna+Moom+Haachama since I missed it live.

Oh and here's the latest short from Pomu's channel: https://youtube.com/shorts/3z6NUaIUN8A?feature=share

I saw lots of clips of that collab with Selen, it was pretty fun and I was interested in her for a while but I don't consume nijisanji content because of the limited time I have to watch streams, but I like that it's going well, the collabs with niji and I hope it stays that way, I'm not saying that they all have to collab because they know to know each others in the first place but it shouldn't have been taboo in the first place, who knows how that started... I'm just glad it's ending.

Mika is simping ? Again? I'm in shock ! LoL

IRyS is going into a little vacation but her 2.0 model is coming soon, we won't see the original IRyS anymore, that's a little sad but she sounds very happy with the previews of her new self, and that means her 3D model and more costumes shouldn't be a problem anymore so I'm glad.

I saw it ... then saw it again, then I shared it and I'm in awe... And hopeful that this won't be the end.

Speaking of hololive, they have a nice halloween special too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFxm5Qq7Grs flexing their voice acting skills.

They already expressed their desire to voice that bad End animation when it was just half done, so let's hope they actually do it ! (and not just voicing over but proper editing)

There's new girls in town, not from niji or holo but they come strong! here's a clipper who make a good introduction video for them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVcf8tmeJ74 I specially like the Doggo and Fuyo, in terms of production, quality and talent they're in equal foot to the big ones.

Vesper got bonked really hard, he's in suspension for 2 weeks due internal problems (nothing that he did on stream) he is actually the last person from Tempus I would've thought as problematic, well... we just have to wait for zatsu grampa to come back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJG2Jl8_qdM

Now ... yuri

Oh, right, idol. The ad for them popped up in my recs a few weeks ago, but I'd totally forgotten about it by the time they actually debuted. The agency is Israeli, but I'm not sure anyone in EN is

Design work is a bit iffy, but they're rigged better than anyone in 2232 or Vee. The eel girl is definitely my favourite here. And in general. But she doesn't have any streams I'm interested in lined up, so I'm probably going to completely forget about her in a week or so again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1oSQPvDBOg

I do wonder how she's going to react to the final evolution

They seem to have an Idol-EN group, as linked, and also a Idol-HE group, which I guess is idol-Hebrew generation one, (no hebrew/Israeli naming or theming(?) ), but a very scientific quick check of 10 seconds of a random game video on each of their channels had all of them speak english (less well than the EN) in all of those quick checks.

But Holo/Niji ID also speak english for the majority of time.

Their very first announcement https://idol-company.com/432-1/ already has a line about "We have received and seen concern from members of the online community about comments and replies in our announcement video that contain themes of racism and hatred towards the affiliation of the group." so I doubt it's going to end well.

They have a blurb on their webpage about
"We care about our talents.
From mental health to growth strategies we help our talents achieve the dream of becoming a full-time VTuber as part of our commitment to change VTubing industry standards

Talents Get The Bigger Cut
We are proud to have one of the highest paying contracts in the industry.
Personal support
Our talent mental health is our first priority, our goal is to be there for our talents 24/7.
Expenses coverage
From video games, to professional studio equipment. We will pay most of your streaming expenses."
(and more)
but the HE-generation has about 6K subscirbers apiece after half a year, so even if they walk the walk it probably doesn't matter.

EN Gen is at 10-14K in less than a week, so I hope it works for them, as I hope it works for any vtuber.

I've have not heard of the Hebrew group but being from South America, I doubt I'm their target audience, who knows ... I checked Lily, the succubus looking loli and she looks great and has a nice energy, but I'm pretty full with content already.

In other news, Hololive has perms to play the Samurai yuri kissing game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDa_yGBRj8E

Youtube officially started a new program, a podcast for trending stuff and guess what's the first topic? that's right! and you know who they invited for the show? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_igTYoM_VI

I can see 3 scenarios ... A very safe introduction with scripts and all; A very awkward moment if the host has no idea about anime culture (unlikely, this guy is famous for researching) or just meme content,

Looks like they chose door number one, which was my least-favorite option. Calling this a "podcast" and not showing any direct interaction between the host and people interviewed was kind of jarring. I guess I'm just used to podcasts like the Official Podcast, Trash Taste, and the like, which are actually live discussions (or arguments, if you like) between people. This felt very sanitized and corporatized.

Nijisanji EN wave 7!
XSOLEIL, because X is cool

https://www.nijisanji.jp/en/news/6o2a_i6dq1e

Debuts 9-10 of Dec
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PG8FLA_TXE
Aia and Kyo get to host the Debut program

Their background is some junk about being the student council of "infinity institute" and time travel and whatnot, but not that it will matter.

The group includes:
Zaion LanZa https://www.youtube.com/@ZaionLanZa
A smol maybe tsun with Keqing hair with upside down smiley in her twitter handle, the "treasurer"
Doppio Dropscythe (bluoorgh) https://www.youtube.com/@DoppioDropscythe
A purple hair man with fangs, likes yellow, first tweet was "YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!", the "enforcer"
Meloco Kyoran https://www.youtube.com/@MelocoKyoran
A huge mouth, boob-harness boob-physics girl. Flirts. the "event coordinator / exorcist"
Hex Haywire (hyouaargh) https://www.youtube.com/@HexHaywire
Tired glasses man, cares about you(tm), first tweet "i'm the guy she told you not to worry about". The "counselor"
Kotoka Torahime https://www.youtube.com/@KotokaTorahime
Genki gyaru fashion girl, miscalled Aia "Air Amare" immediately, the "vice president"
Ver Vermillion (yöööghrrr) https://www.youtube.com/@VerVermillion
The main character dude with Towa-like fangs mask, hates cabbage, the "president"

The names of the boys are hideous, but that's IMHO a common Niji problem
As is the fact of pushing so many v-tubers out, since they will eat from one another, so to speak, but nevertheless I wish them all success and good times.

Oh, and their voice preview debut video with stupid phrases (like Reimu's famous "As in heaven.. so in hell")

Design wise they're already kicking butts! love the student council LoL before I knew it, I was already subscribed to Zaion... such power!

one of the guys looks a lot like Bae's male persona ... in fact he has the exact hair color/details, brothers separated at birth?

Ver sounds great ngl...but I won't follow more guys, glasses guy sounds like he's trying too hard but that's fine for the first couple of months until they relax and become naturals.
