>>64431831I don’t think it’s related to Coco departure or Rushia termination and more about two things
1) Ame burned out and, later, so did Gura and Ina. At the same time, Mori lost focus and strayed away from Hololive for a while
2) HoloEN management clearly had a different plan for HoloEN away from “Hololive, but in English”
I think the biggest symptom of that was EN management “chasing away” Haachama overture over HoloEN by explicitly telling her to stop using #HoloEN0, and by kicking her out of the EN Minecraft server.
One of the most endearing things I remember from those days was Gura doing a “housewarming” prank on Haachama by egging her house, and Haachama misunderstanding it as Gura gifting her chickens.
Management REALLY fucked things up back then, thankfully not in an irredeemable way
