Literally the only way these designs, voices etc stand out at all is EOPs going "isn't Nijisanji supposed to be you know, good, if they are the main Holo rival in Japan? So shouldn't these be Holo tier?" Let me answer that: No. No they're not guaranteed to be that at all. Niji is a mixed bag, a hugely fucking mixed bag. There are tons of them who have indie tier subs/views despite being in the company. They don't walk or act as a unified group and are full of cliques and drama shit that have made many of them graduate over the years.
They ARE that black company whose faggot fans stalked Aloe IRL and got her graduated just for calling them out in private (yet this was discovered and people went apeshit when they found out). Niji fans are so fucking toxic against Holo fans that Futuba Channel, our ancestor website, had a vtubers board for a long time but had banned Holo discussion off it until very recently (when it got its own board) due to the fucking shit behavior of Niji fans. Remember that. They couldn't even coexist on a site that normally is extremely calm and polite, so much so they unironically let OPs janitor their own threads and people trust each other enough to not fuck things up.
Also much of Niji's popularity is through its male talents. So are they good? Not really IMO. The most popular one Kuzuha literally just spams Apex streams and almost nothing fucking else. Is too lazy to even make thumbnails for his streams, just is the definition of right place/right time luck. Also he is clearly fucking one of the other Niji chicks and living with her IRL despite supposed to be playing a gay vampire as a char, just kind of a piece of shit overall yet still goes on. That's only a minor yab for Niji. Niji is the fucking rrat hive in Japan and it is not impossible there will be shitty catfights/overall true bitch moves from these girls, either to each other or to other vtubers. Ichikara doesn't manage their people for shit. There is a reason Holo basically clobbers them these days.
