Mixed gen have never been so close, English branch possess many qualities that make a mixed gen a possibility :
>western audiences are not very close to Japan culturally, gender segregated idol culture is foreign to western market
>EN being a relatedly new branch allowing its culture to be molded still, a mixed gen culture will face less resistance
>EN has the closest connection between Holostar and Hololive, they also share some level of management
>EN also share many other infrastructures together, like twitter, reddit, and other promotion and announcement channel
>EN holofans and starfans often overlap and share the same internet communities (reddit, 4chan, youtube, twitter)
HoloEN can easily support the very first mixed gender in Cover corp. All the existing infrastructure, channel, management, and discord are all ready, ensuring limited confusing and complication for a mixed gen
EN stand to benefit a lot more from having the very first mixed gen in HoloPro compare to a normal new gen, its benefits include :
>bring both Holostar and Hololive closer than ever
>create a new dynamic and open up opportunities and possibility of HoloPro collaboration and cooperation
>help establish new niche from this new dynamic
>help consolidate promotion channel and outreach, allowing both to access a greater pool of promotion channel
>increase targeted audience, widening potential reach as it no longer has to cater to audience with specific gender
>greater facilities to boost existing member to a new height and help boost and promoting those with lower performance
>generate positive PR for company and HoloPro EN
>help provide opportunities that is otherwise unavailable
>satisfy Holofans who are already bored with the current state of EN with a new and fresh outlook and dynamic
I can't say mixed gen will be a huge success but they are clearly the best shot EN has at breaking the current stalemate
