>>99278625Alright, kid, I'm gonna give you a straight answer because I like your honesty and optimism. I'mma assume you're totally new to vtubers for this.
Congratulations, you've stumbled across Gura. Whether you stay with her or explore other vtubers is up to you, because Gura is a guaranteed good time and the only real downside to her is that her schedule is all kinds of erratic.
Seeing as you like Gura, why not try out the other members of HoloMyth. From what you've put down, I think you'd enjoy Kiara, she gets very into the games she plays, and often plays games the others don't. You might also like Amelia Watson, she's got a great personality and is infamous for getting salty. Amelia left Hololive last year to go independent and now she streams as Dooby3D. She's a big goof on that.
Stepping outside Myth for Hololive English as a whole, you might like Koseki Bijou. She's adorable and possibly the most hardcore gamer in Hololive English by a long margin. For a more relaxed gaming vibe, try Ouro Kronii, she also gets pretty into her games, but she's a lot less energetic than the others, so if you feel like a streamer to watch while lying in a cold bath and having an existential crisis, she's a hit. Finally, I think Cecilia Immergreen is a good shout. She's a genuinely quirky and odd individual, and the way she interacts with the other members of her group is great. Not a peak gamer, but her vibe sounds like something you'd enjoy.
Beyond Hololive EN, you might want to give Hololive Indonesia a quick look. They all speak English as well as Indonesian, and frequently translate themselves for the English audience. I'd recommend Ollie, Risu and Kaela. The first two are energetic balls of fun, Kaela streams on the same schedule as Waffle House opens. Also try watching Anya play a horror game just to see somebody play the scariest shit and never raise her voice once like a psychopath. If you're open to watching male vtubers for a chillout with the bros vibe, Holostars EN has you covered, too. Axel is a rowdy Australian guy who's always good fun and really supports his colleagues, Goldbullet likes to play some older games and has serious Markiplier vibes, Gavis Bettel is God's perfect idiot, Shinri is easily the big cuddly grandfather of the group, and Jurard is reliably a good time.
Casting the net all the way out to other corpos and indies, I recommend checking out Vshojo and Phase Connect. Vshojo is fairly unique in that it functions more as a clubhouse for big existing indie talent and Nijisanji refugees than a normal vtuber agency and as such, the vibe is way different, and rules around collaborations, planning and presentation are way more loose. Matara Kan has an amazing voice and plays some unusual games as well as holding some just wonderful yapping streams, K9Kuro is a bro you can vibe with and a great chill time, Henya is adorable, dayo, and she's got gamer energy all over the place, and Geega is an old hand at vtubing, so she's a good relaxing time. Phase Connect is what happens when you take all the vtubers who wouldn't fit in other agencies and just throw them together and see what sticks. Pipkin Pippa is their most famous member and she's a fucking wild ride, but there's also much more relaxing streamers there like Shiina, Dizzy and Uruka. For gremlin energy, try Panko or Eimi.
Finally, we move on to the indies. The biggest and most obvious one for you is Dokibird. She's a household name for a reason. She laughs almost constantly, is a huge fan of first person shooters, ber fanbase is very active and her positivity is infectious. If she's a bit much for you, try her friend Mint Fantome. Mint got the Metal Gear brainrot bad, but she plays a lot of classic and retro games, too and she's a super friendly and relaxing experience to watch. Laimu is a fresher face on the big indie scene, but she's got a really warm personality and she likes to play a wide variety of games, alone or with friends. Her voice and model are adorable and her comedic timing is amazing. Finally, I'd like to recommend Ryeisbread and Grimmi. Rye just got a new model after leaving her old corpo in a messy departure. She's historically been a big fan of Tarkov and Seige, so she's a certified tactical brat, and I'd bet money she's gonna do a scav raid sooner or later now she's got a fresh model. Finally, Grimmi is last here because she's about as far from Gura as you can get but if you pick up what she puts down, she's great. She's pathologically quiet and sounds like she's disassociating half the time, and she likes to play horror games, so expect a day one playthrough of Silent Hill S when that comes out.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
