>>87219440>Didn't pop off, but there is nothing inherently wrong with them.>>87219913>BJ is honestly not bad and reasonably well-liked by the girlsThe problem with Blue Jorney, if you remember it from when it was released, they tried THEIR HARDEST to pretend this was not related to Hololive
From March 2023 to Nov 2023 none of their thumbnails had the Holo girls, none of the YouTube videos in their channels had the Holo girls in any visual form (only their voices).
It was an ABSOLUTELY CLEAR attempt to dissociate the project from "anime girls" and try to make it work for the regular music audience.
Anons mentioned DEV_IS in the same vein and it probably came from the same "school of thought" inside Holo management
>we have the "animesque avatar" on a lock>let's try for the regular audience that gets put off by anime and anime adjacent mediumThey failed miserably on both for the exact same reason Nijisanji's Selejo bombed so hard the ended up becoming the second lowest performing wave of all of the company (that is, before NijiEN debuted their latest one, didn't check since)
>a complete misreading of the desires of the audience.Notice that when that realization set in they started putting the Holo girls front and centre again, but that was too late.
