>>39155275Cover had no idea how well EN would perform so the people they hired for the branch's staff were just there to make sure things wouldn't go exceptionally bad. Myth debuted, became THE face of western vtubing, and those same losers who were there to make sure things would work let the success go over their heads and started believing they were the reason HoloEN was a success. Then come Council almost a year later, hyped beyond any reasonable degree and after the first gen became the first HoloPro group where all members had more than a million subs, with Gura having 3 times that amount, and after an entire month of Cover releasing weekly lore videos to build even more hype for their debut they end up completely underwhelming, even compared to IRyS. Not their fault mind you, at that point anything short of an actual unicorn (as in mythical being) who was somehow both extremely talented at everything and also charismatic would be a disappointment, and not even the Myth girls were anywhere close to that level. And now Cover made an even worse decision to wait it out for EN3, indirectly building the same amount of hype for them but with a negative spin, with people not looking forward to the sequel to Myth but for girls that can bring back the excitement the branch lost in 2022, and I feel sorry for the poor schmucks that will have to carry HoloEN in their backs with more and more of the current roster taking breaks for whatever reason. But hey, "quality over quantity" amirite?
