>>85607727Most graduations and terminations in Japanese corpos so far haven't been... on good terms. There are couple exceptions but I suppose the IP wasn't important enough to keep around?
Honestly, if Amelia wasn't so important for the Gura "lore" they would have probably yeeted her completely. Her IP ain't THAT strong on it's own.
Saved by the shark, pretty much.
It's obvious Gura has signed something similar as well, she rarely streams more than 4 times a month - she's on a "stream as little or as much as you want just keep the IP alive" mode.
I'm guessing this will be the practice for high profile graduations going forward as long as the voice actor isn't completely opposed to the idea. IP is hard to build, makes a lot of sense.
Disney doesn't kill off their characters when the voice actor dies.
