>>56707286I already have and 100% agree. In fact, I almost wrote her off for being too cutesy for me but she turned out to be a fantastic streamer. She put in hours in her first week that puts Gura to shame. She carries an energetic energy from start to finish and interacts with her fans in pre-chat instead of showing up late sounding all anemic and uninterested.
Honestly, Bijou is what I had really hoped Gura would grow into in due time after she settled in but goddamn she just never had the fire underneath her to push herself. Perhaps gaining all those subscribers in her first 6 months just made her lackadaisical.
Bijou is pretty Gura with the drive and attitude of Pekora and the endurance to possibly match Kaela. It's honestly why a Gura graduation would be less hard hitting for me. I still enjoy Gura and will miss her if she ever leaves but no one lasts forever and once you're burned out completely it's probably time to go. However the thing is, Cover might not want to do that. They may want to just keep her own the payroll so they won't have to sacrifice the Gura character and possibly have some other company potentially headhunt her, not like that would change her core personality in anyway.
