>>98396118Is Niji EN really healing? Or is it a dead cat bounce?
Because their recent Minecraft streams and new wave are doing pretty good. I don't mind admitting it, and I (cynically but wrongly) thought they would do some huge event on Feb 12.
and I likewise (cynically, and probably wrongly again) think that they'll try to do something on the same day as Mumei's graduation, just to spite her for having been by Doki's side during her hour of needBut while their recent numbers are better than most of the past year, they're not doing "one of the undisputed top two vtuber groups" good; they're only doing "fairly okay for a 'small' agency" good. Their Minecraft thing is basically Great Value EN-Reco, and their new wave is cannibalizing viewers and superchats from other waves - particularly Luxiem and Noctyx, who share their target audience (fujos from JP/CN/TW/SEA)
Simply doing better now than at any other time since Selen's termination is not good enough, since they're still doing abysmally compared to any time before the termination; it has the same energy as that time Brazil scored a single goal against Germany, in the second half's penalty time while down 7-0. Doing "fairly okay for a small agency" good is probably not compatible with the long term viability of what is supposed to be either the biggest or second-biggest vtuber agency.
....oh, and there's still the Aster/Twisty powder keg they haven't defused yet.
