This is a genuine question, not fucking around.
Why is Hololive EN called Hololive anymore? Why are Holostars EN called Holostars? Neither feels like either. The girls don't have real goals, they don't act or feel like idols except for a withering few, they don't do big events where they really feel like a group. The guys don't hold themselves to any degree of a standard, they don't try to separate themselves from the girls and forge their own way. Neither group even takes pride in their work or what they make, again, except for very few. Neither of these groups feel like they're in any way related to the parent group that spawned them, both barely even collab with their senpai and frequently don't appear in their events. It feels like apart from a few times a year when they get put in one of the "real" Holo's stage appearances, they're just some weird, mutated thing shunted into the corner. Like some side character you remember exists that you used to like, but they don't feel like themselves anymore. The difference between JP and EN is just so vast now it feels morbid. What's the point of calling them by these names when even the management wants to just merge them and remove half of what made them what they were in the first place.
I'm just so tired at this point.
I think I'm seriously just going to double down on my reps and bury my head in JP shit until I understand it. Can any of you guys recommend how to do my listening JP reps? I'm okay with reading, but I can't parse words well or fast enough to listen properly.
