>>1081660312022 was such a miserable year for the EN branch with never ending malicious compliance that the Council 3D collab was really an inspirational highlight of 2023. There were a brief few months in 2023 when it looked like things were getting better and even Gura was somewhat optimistic for the future. Cover somehow messed up so horribly in 2024 that 4 of the EN talents (and 5 of the JP talents) made the decision to quit. At the end of 2025 I have absolutely zero faith in management. I think Cover has financial motivations to stop losing talents, because they are also losing fans, but management has shown over and over again that they don't really care about Hololive.
>>108166392>Promise is stronger than everThey are still alive but it did hurt for them to lose Sana, Fauna, and Mumei. Ame will return to Myth so they really only lost 1 talent but Council was the first Hololive gen to lose 3 talents.
>>108167108>Sana was a lazy liar who at least had the good grace to bail earlySana asked for a model redesign, Cover told her no, and they didn't renew her contract. That demoralized the EN branch and that is when Gura started to skip out on every single holiday collab.
