>>19525453Yeah, the first 2 waves were 3 members each, ethyria was only 4 members, and then the two male waves were 5 each. Going forward i imagine they'll be doing 5 member waves and are currently in the process of urgently hiring managers and staff to support all these talents. i don't think aiming for 3-4 waves out of this audition is feasible when at some point you'll just be scraping the bottom of the indie vtuber barrel and should just wait for more indies to develop themselves rather than risk hiring a subpar candidates or someone that's yab-prone.
It does seem like they're actively trying to scoop up every potentially good vtuber to not leave hololive with anyone to hire, which seemingly worked extremely well in the first 2 waves of auditions as it's obvious most of Council ended up being 2nd and 3rd choices after Lazulight/Obsydia/Ethyria gobbled up pretty much all the talented or prominent female indies at the time.
Also I'm starting to wonder at what point they'll start poaching talents from the smaller EN corpos like Tsunderia and Cyberlive. I know they already poached Rosemi from Tsunderia but that was over a year ago. As far as small corpos who have potential I think they should be looking at Tenma Maemi from Phase Connect, Miyoshino Shiki and Rikudo Yura from Prism Project, and Lua Asuka and Namiji Freesia from Kawaii Pro. They're all really fucking good, completely yab-free, and would potentially bring in a lot of money. Tenma especially has connections with a lot of big Twitch streamers and is one of the best gamers out there while having a very charismatic personality and being an extremely professional OL in her personal life. She'd be an incredibly safe choice that'd probably elevate the branch quite a bit and be a positive presence in collabs.if any nijisanji hiring managers bothered to read this far thank you for reading my blog
