>>55278224>Shiori - 8/10The most calm and complicated member that joined EN so far, personality suggests that she's not interested in following the normal streamer routine and prefers to just talk about what she herself finds interesting.
Her streaming ideas also are different from the usual formula (the fact that she didn't do any gaming streams up until today, which only happened because of a Collab, should be a big enough proof of that)
She seems to like her fans and interacting with them constantly, this based on the amount of art she's retweeted and replies she's done on Twitter, even reading fanfics that people have written about her and even the YouTube community tags.
She doesn't seem interested in giving any GFE treatment even though she would be perfect for it, the is due to her asking to not judge her based on the people she will Collab with in the future.
Her singing isn't good based on her last karaoke, but her music choice is a breath of fresh air compared to the Japanese songs almost every Hololive member seems to love singing.
All in all she's good, but she gets lost in her own little world a bit too much, and a lot of the time I have a hard time following what she's saying since she constantly talks about things I've never bothered reading/listening to, making me feel left out through large portions of the stream.
>Koseki - 5/10Great design, she's somewhat of a gamer and can go long periods of time playing games (according to her, this is yet to be proven) her voice though is something that gets tiresome quickly, it was cute at first, specially during debut, but her yelling just feels like a kid crying at a Walmart at her mom to buy her some expensive toy and we're all forced to hear her tantrum.
She has an amazing signing voice based on her cover which is where I'll likely tune in the most, but I would give her a few weeks before she herself realizes that that voice isn't going to cut it in the long term.
Her beginning game choices are questionable at best, phasmophobia felt more like an acting stream to see if we could catch when she was genuinely scared or just pretending. Tears of the kingdom doesn't interest me since I (And probably MANY other people) have put 100+ hours in that game, not counting the streamers we have watched as well. Truck simulator is meh but it was mostly for the questions rather than the game itself.
I had 0 interest in FFXIV.
honestly she just needs better game choices, because if this is what she chooses for her debut week then I'm not holding my breath for the future on Bijou, specially when her cuteness already gets overshadowed by FWMC.
>Nerissa - TBD She's streamed over Gura like 3 times now, I don't blame her but still... It's Gura.
From what I've seen though she feels like a normal Hololive fan girl that got Isekai'd into Hololive and is the only normal one out of her group of friends. Which I'm not exactly complaining about. Her voice is amazing hope to see her sing more in the future. ENGLISH SONGS THAT IS.
>FWMC- 8/10Twins, cute. Good game choices, have their moments and genuinely feel like they're having a blast being in Hololive so far.
Only complaint is that they're way too attached to the cutesy act, which only works in a short term kind of time before people start getting bored of it.
She's basically captured the JP viewers heart, I guess they're the equivalent of what Korone is to us? Which is endearing to see and hope that they gather an even bigger JP audience.
Stream in two separate timeslots which a lot of people can appreciate, and since there's two of them then there's little chance of them burning out.
However because they're always together they run the risk of not interaction with their own chat a lot of the time, which can make the viewers feel left out.
The lack of 1 on 1 interactions with their chat means we won't get many intimate moments where FWMC open themselves to their fans probably.
They're amazing singers based on their cover, hope to see them do more karaokes soon.
They seem a bit too eager to up their subscriber numbers, which can backfire if Ollie is any indication of that, hoping they can focus more on their natural growth rather than boasting about their achievement and "memories they made together" considering it's only been 1 week. (Their relay plans were also an eyebrow raised for me...)
I think Moco is more entertaining than Fuwa.
That's all, obviously opinions on the girls will change over time, but so far both Shiori and FWMC are the sellers of the group. Imo.
