describe the current state of Hololive English
ChatGPT said:
As of mid-2025, the state of Hololive English (HoloEN) is one of transition, fragmentation, and cautious evolution. Here's a breakdown of the current landscape:
1. Loss of Pillars
Gawr Gura and Watson Amelia have officially graduated or gone inactive — both were foundational to Myth and to EN's early global explosion.
Other key members like Nanashi Mumei, Ceres Fauna, and some others have also graduated, shrinking the original cultural footprint of the branch.
With Gura gone, Hololive EN has lost its most iconic and visible member, creating a leadership and marketing vacuum.
2. Ongoing Identity Shift
Myth is now partly a legacy group, with Calliope, Kiara, and Ina carrying forward.
Council and Promise have partially disbanded or shifted focus due to graduations.
Newer gens like Advent and Justice are active but have not matched the explosive popularity of Myth or early Council.
There's a visible shift from mainstream viral appeal to more niche, community-driven content.
3. Popularity & Influence
Sub growth and live viewership are declining or plateaued for most members.
HoloEN has lost ground to indie VTubers (like Filian, Shylily) and VSPO or JP-focused VTuber groups.
Fans have noticed fewer large-scale concerts or global campaigns compared to 2021–2023.
4. Still Strong Core Talent
Mori Calliope remains musically influential and has proven she can succeed even outside Hololive branding.
FUWAMOCO, Bijou, and others in Advent are slowly building loyal fanbases.
Despite reduced spotlight, EN talents still maintain high production value and loyal global audiences.
5. Content Strategy
Streaming hours have decreased for some talents, and there’s a growing focus on pre-recorded content, music, and collabs.
There's less "viral energy," and more focus on sustaining core fandoms.
Summary:
Hololive EN in 2025 is smaller, less explosive, but more stable and community-focused.
The glory days of Myth’s domination are behind, and while the branch still matters, it's no longer the undisputed global face of VTubing it once was.
