I am curious what theme the next gen will be though. The narrative idea for gen releases was a very good idea, and It really resonated with the community (all the fan art). So how will they replicate that with gen 2. Will they create a self contained narrative that can be mixed and matched with gen 1? Or will they be additions to the overall narrative? There sure as hell are plenty of myths to go around.
I dont envy them. Gen2 is going to be the real test for whether Hololive EN is a 1 hit wonder or not. Its also an issue that there isn't any real 'mama' for the group, like Mio for example. Ame sort of tries to fill that role, but she's young herself. Its time EN get a hagtuber for that mama energy, but how do you do that with the differences in culture? Probably the best idea would be an English fluent Japanese Vtuber. Likewise, there's no real 'leader' or representative for EN just yet (though that's not too big an issue this early into the game). But someone who can be commonly agreed to act as a sort of 'chief', like Fubuki with JP, would be desirable for both talent cohesiveness, fan security, and quality of life. But you also don't want the influence to get to their head... and Fubuki is a real special breed in that respect. A true fan, and incorruptible in that regard. Finding the same thing for EN would be very difficult, and probably the best chance of that is with the first generation, who did not have an expectation of a hundred thousand plus subs by debut. but who can step up? I dont see it.
