>>7330760>Holo has better talentI don't think that's quite true, or rather, that it's a bit of a difficult comparison. Note that I'm not a very dedicated follower of either company/brand, and aren't trying to incite tribalism with this.
Both companies obviously try to hire good entertainers. The difference is in how they hire; Hololive seems to want career vtubers specifically, and takes special care to comb through the applicants, narrowing their hires down to only the proven top few. Nijisanji, while also seeking out high quality hires, likes to take chances on unproven yet promising applicants for some of their auditions, and lets them work part-time or even just as a hobby. Their waves are thus larger, and they seem quite comfortable with letting the newbies grow into the job over time. I'd argue that there's just as much raw talent among the top ranks of both companies (and I think the success of cross-company groups like NASS are evidence of this), but the larger overall amount and the types of vtubers Nijisanji employs dilute that image, especially in the eyes of those who don't follow the company closely.
Mind you that I don't believe most vtubers of any company or description are exactly brimming with talent, otherwise they'd be working to build careers elsewhere in the entertainment industry. It's because they're oddballs, social outcasts, familiarly flawed people, that we feel drawn to them and their personalities. We end up (over)valuing their talent, even when it's not truly what draws us to them.
Something I understand is that people feel overwhelmed by Nijisanji's roster. The idea is that you're not supposed to follow them all, but obviously it's going to be harder to find the right one for you when there's so many to wade through, and some of the hidden gems you may stumble upon stream irregularly. Hololive, especially in the west, has a massive edge in accessibility in this, and several other, regards.
TL;DR both company bretty gud imo
