>>53226637There's a few major problems hurting them anon. First being that they're in Nijisanji EN, the second is that they're what remains of the "Gamer Wave".
Problem 1 is easy to explain away as they're in NijiEN. The branch has been falling apart well before these guys entered the picture, they would straight up have to be the most charismatic/talented/unique streamers ever to turn things around. And even if they were, it still wouldn't be enough probably because the branch's numbers have declined within the span of a year and some of those fans likely left for good.
Problem 2 is a bit more complicated since there's multiple factors on the branch's own part that hurt it. First being that NijiEN's audience does not care for dudes playing video games, so the wave was already doomed from the start. The second being that a "Gamer Wave" can't play everything, so they'd be subject to Japanese perms autism like the rest of the branch. Then there's the fact that 2 out of 6 members left during negotiations it sounds like, with the situation being sealed when Aruvn or one of his friends leaked everything, from the 2% deal to the concept art, to even names, dates, you name it. Coupled with Nijifans/interns downplaying the leaks as "AI art", and you have a wave that almost felt like it was sent to die.
Granted Bandage dude didn't help matters by not reading the room and realizing bad sex jokes are easy matters for ridicule, but not everything can be blamed on them either. They were ultimately in an unwinnable position, and the same will apply the moment the next wave comes out. There's no turning things around, NijiEN is done for.
