>>57916306>point 1Mixed agree/disagree. In many fundamental ways, Council is better than Myth. Myth was really good as a debut gen for a new branch, but they’re not a good gen overall. CouncilRyS does well as a group, but they were not a good follow-up to Myth.
Gura is overrated as a singer but really, anon? This one is just bait, right?
>point 2Hard agree
>point 3Hard agree. Based and ruffian/novellite/jailbird/pebblepilled
>point 4Mostly agree. NijiEN pre-Luxiem was “knockoff HoloEN” and NijiEN post-Luxiem is just “the anti-HoloEN”. If your identity is defined against someone else, you’ll never be something special on your own
>point 5Reluctant agree. I like small corpos, want them to succeed, and occasionally watch them. Phase at least has its own identity, Idol(EN) kind of started out as HoloEN lite before transitioning to HoloEN lite plus an increasing amount of GFE. It’s a scourge that affects a lot of small corpos, and Idol appears to be falling in the same trap.
>point 6Light disagree. You can’t discount the power of getting noticed by senpai. In this case, “senpai” meant any JP vtuber in the days before Myth. People like Pikamee and Coco who acknowledged our existence helped create a fanbase that’s sustained EN vtubing ever since. I don’t think we can easily measure or discount that.
>4.5/6For a list of hot takes, you certainly did better than Stephen A. Well-thought out list. Nice job, anon.
