I won't say anything bad about them as people since I never watched their debut streams or any of their other streams for that matter, and also because the current situation at NijiEN has basically nothing to to with them as people/streamers. The main issue is that as a branch, NijiEN dropped the ball so hard this year that its impossible to imagine a way they could quickly turn things around. First there was the cancellation of AR Fes a week after announcing it, and that was soon followed up with nearly half of the branch being MIA, either because they were down and decided a vacation in Japan would cheer them up, or because they were fucking doxxed like poor Vox was and had to relocate because of it, so that right there resulted in the branch losing a lot of momentum.
Then there was the situation with how they announced Zaion's termination, tweeting it not only as Vox was doing his charity stream but choosing to announce it the same fucking day as Pomu's new outfit reveal, there's no getting around it, the timing was horrifically bad. Regardless on whether you feel she deserved it or not (I personally dont think she deserved it that bad, lets agree to disagree for now), the impact didn't seem to be good for the collective mindset of the fans since now it made it look like any of their oshis could be terminated and publicly shamed for any inane number of reasons.
Now we're in July and the branch has dealing with back-to-back leaks from any number of sources within the company, from the 2% merch cut, to Krisis being leaked nearly 1:1 save for Aruvn and 2-3 other members being canned, to some Anon leaking that Nina would be graduated that very day and that another big graduation is on the way. Again, nothing against the remnants on the Gamer Wave, but they would've have to be the best streamers on the face of the planet to turn things around. Morale in the branch might be the lowest its ever been, not helped by some talents being close to NijiID members that are also leaving the company.
