idk if anyone else has noticed, but it seems like HoloEN has been experimenting with overlapping for the past few weeks. Gura, Ame, and Irys overlapped a few times, so did Calli and Irys. This might have been prep for when HoloEN2 debuts, since overlap will become inevitable.
There was bit of a hit in viewership (less than 1k) for Gura and Ame, but it was a big increase in net total, with Irys brings a solid 6-8k in the 8pm PST/11pm EST time slot. Actually, Irys being a streaming addict was a blessing in disguise with how many HoloEN dead hours she's filling due to everyone taking breaks. Just imagine how barren this month would've been for EN if Irys didn't debut.
There's been a lot of doomposting about how HoloEN2 will steal viewers from HoloEN1 and everyone is going to lose 30% of their viewers, but honestly, overlapping does not seem to be that bad so far and they'll cover the dead hours during other members' breaks instead, which is a very good thing.
