>Thank you so much for the approximately four years since I joined as a new graduate…!

>>104213262 (OP)
please get non homo shill this time

i blame the ruffians

So who's going to be in charge of that shill channel she had?

>>104213262 (OP)
WHO????

>some fucking jap staff member
sorry, my bad for saying WHO, I should have said
WHO gives a FUCK

Good riddance!

>>104213356
It's going to be Ollie anonski

>>104213262 (OP)
Axel knocked her up

>>104213356
hope the talents and their new outfit is morning news anchor with weather caster side kick

>>104213386
I'm for anything that makes Ollie graduate faster.

>>104213262 (OP)
okay I guess
kinda forgot about her desu

>>104213262 (OP)
>another manager
they are raping them there

I keep forgetting she exists (or existed now I guess)
she's just nothing compared to A-chan

>>104213262 (OP)
This is honestly expected. Her existence was Cover thinking staff members have an audience, but they soon realize that fans love A-chan and ONLY A-chan. Also the HoloAN initiative is just an attempt to revive A-chan's night shows but failed miserably because no one cares, especially when Holo talents themselves like Koyori and Mio did the same shit but to larger audience and arguably much more entertaining

After this, there won't be a 3rd A-chan because that market left with her, and I think we will soon see Nodoka again but as an indie VTuber if that is what her "rekindle" means

>>104213262 (OP)
literally who

Good run, she lasted longer than expected.
how is NuA-chan doing? Is her channel dead now?

>>104213556
>fans love A-chan and ONLY A-chan
Meanwhile in the real world nuAchan is speedrunning 3 view status because apparently all the people who goon to her old design on this board don't actually watch her.

>>104213262 (OP)
Literal who honestly they tried to have her be A Chans replacement but she couldn’t be replaced in the first place

>>104213556
A-chan put in work. She was one of Sora's original 13 viewers. She helped on streams long before she had a model. At least 3 Holos credited her with their decision to not graduate. Meanwhile Nodoka was just given a model day 1 and we were told to love her like we would A-chan. What was her biggest accomplishment, flirting with Axel?

>>104213653
Almost like the model actually matters retard

What's with the amount of seething faggots in this thread lol

is everything good holobros

>>104213262 (OP)
Im calling it now, there's going to be another wave of graduations soon or early next year
>inb4: PHASED, 2 weeks, KYS nijisister, etc

>>104213653
I enjoy her streams, they are on the short side but they are fun and she's cute.
Fuck you, I'm having fun.

>>104213653
Holy shit those numbers post debut video

>>104213713
After the LLD and V-Shojo, graduationbegging feels so cold.

Holo exodus back on?

>>104213262 (OP)
The desensitization to this shit is kinda funny

>>104213415
BA SE D

>>104213262 (OP)
Kinda grim that the Hololive account hasn't even retweeted it

>>104213662
those 13 viewers didn't include staff and staff families. a-chan is not one of the 13.

>>104213843
I mean...shit, A-chan was sad and all but that was because she was there from day one and could be credited with a lot of Hololive's successes

Nodoka...was just there. It would be like if Henma or Gem-chan graduated.

>>104213262 (OP)
So is this why fubuki cancelled that one stream a while ago?

>>104213262 (OP)
Who the fuck cares, she is just a company woman who shills shit. Its the same as the shamwow guy graduating

>>104213653
>Meanwhile in the real world nuAchan has an audience large enough to make streaming a career
wow it's over

I always wondered what the point of a news channel you have to physically go to was.

>>104213904
I would be sad for Biboo if gem-chan left because she seems like a great manager

>>104213713
Yeah a lot of Homo are leaving after the 3D live

>>104213262 (OP)
What did she do again?

Awesome, holo graduation queue is back on.

>>104213713
yeah homo graduations

>>104213360
Fuck Off cuckling

>>104213556
Nodoka had potential and was sweet
The holobox wouldve carried her but HoloAN came way too late
Who knows if she even wanted to stream regularly but if she goes that route i could see her getting some love

>>104213262 (OP)
Perhaps her position isn't a one person job and they need more staff for it

>>104213387
>unikek melty over office workers
The absolute state

I think with HoloPlus more or less flopping, which was her big project, she likely was pressured to leave

>>104213843
It's just staff, and unlike A-chan Nodoka never made an effort to appeal to the international or local fans nor did she appear particularly close to the talent. Yes, if you weren't a newfag you'd know that A-chan even did English-only streams for us and actively got better at English, unlike Nodoka who besides the great design is just kinda there and no one talks anything about her ever.

>>104213262 (OP)
Okay? She was always just a staff member. It's like a twitter account manager quitting. I think the most she was known for was Vesper being a faggot and starting ship shit with her and Axel like a douche.

>>104213262 (OP)
Probably got confident with hosting streams and thinks she can go indie.
How long do you think it'll take for her to redebut? I say around a month.

>>104213262 (OP)
Its that time of the year, huh? Who else isn't renewing their contract?

why didn't you save her?

>>104214301
Axel tainted her career

>>104213262 (OP)
Black company takes yet another victim. Holodrones once again rearing their ugly head bashing anyone who departs.

>>104213262 (OP)
Thank you for everything.

>>104213653
fans loved a-chan, not yubari rei
just like fans loved fauna, not nimi

>>104214289
>anon thinks she wants to be a regular chuuba

This shit started with what Hololive did with A-chan.
A-chan was loved by the community and by the fans. Then Cover took advantage of that and started having her stream, always behind a paywall.
Like I’m not buying a membership to any member just to have access to their main streams, so I’m sure as fuck not going to do so for the secretary’s streams.

I’m sure Cover, being the 70 year old retarded, fax machine executives that they are, probably asked too much of her and drastically changed what the job required of her.
I hope she finds success or a good husband (me) after this.

>>104214209
>>
>>104214279
>>104214391

>>104214439
Also fans loved A-chan is small doses, like some random appearance on Hologra or something

I don't know what she smoked to try and become a V-Tuber

>>104213653
The point was that fans love A-Chan. Only A-Chan, not her RM. Well, the RM gets a fair share of love, too, but a big part of it came from being Hololive's A-Chan and a long history of being friends, standing with members and having access to inside stories.
Her RM on her own with little to no connection to Hololive in her content? Yeah, I still like her as a person, but not enough to watch her.

>>104213262 (OP)
>A-chan leaves
>A-chan Jr. also leaves, before she can even really be an A-chan
So how's everyone feeling about Public Cover

>>104214279
She wasn't "just" a staff member, she was a member playing a staff member made in a lab to replace A-chan, who was staff that became a member, but looks like it didn't worked out for them

>Before joining the company, I had given up on many things. It was Hololive Production that rekindled the light within me. Amid the whirlwind of days that followed, I felt many wonderful things I had lost returned to me
Damn, Hololive saves even staffs, huh?

>>104214671
That's unironically the problem, the girls find hospice, meet wonderful people, and once they're recovered from their past trauma, they leave

Cover should harass them, how come Niji doesn't have any staff leaving?

I liked her, she seemed nice. Don't know what's with all the hate people calling her a homo promoter, that's her job to promote all the talents for the company she works for. Either way, it's sad to see her go and it's been, what near 2 years since A Chan left?

>>104213262 (OP)
hololive is getting more faceless everyday

melanin-enriched company

>>104214768
>what near 2 years since A Chan left?
Nah A-Chan left last year

>>104213262 (OP)
So does that mean I'm getting my Holo no Koshikake Radio back?
Asakoyo is nice and all but I liked the monthly format, stream timeslot and A-chan's newscaster voice more

>>104214768
A-Chan barely interacted with or shilled homos beyond what was required (JP or EN), though. Nodoka should have put her foot down when Axel tried to approach her instead of flirting with him

>>104213653
Bugs do not watch ex corpo

>>104213262 (OP)
Axel tried to get in her pants, right?

>>104214824
Holostars EN. Expect a hopefully big wave of graduations from homoEN soon when Cover decides to stop giving them welfare from the girls' contributions

>>104214949
Yeah, and sadly that will be the only thing many EN fans remember her for

>>104213653
She zatsudan a lot and rarely do games, a total opposite of en. Perhaps her hardware and funds is lacking

>>104213914
That was because of Mel

>>104214502
glad someone else is calling out how they tried to make a-chan a paywall princess, don't see this criticism enough.

>>104214949
No, Vesper was the one who outed Axel as a fan of Nodoka, fans proceeded to do what fans do best and wouldn't shut up about it and drove it into the ground.

>have to do actual work
>also need to play pretend but you don't get any of the benefits that real talent contracts have
There's literally no one replacing this role because it's fucking shit, and cover was likely doubling up work for the A-chan/Nodoka company mascot role without fair compensation. Imagine needing to sit through endless meetings and not being able to go home because you have to do mocap and voice over for shit as overtime

>>104214045
Nah they won't. It's not like their indie career would be better than corpo salary

>>104213653
Tbf that interview she did while "claiming" she was a corporate slave in her previous job (albeit jokingly, might add) probably impacted her negatively since it drove the attention to some dramafags and tribalists along the way, those faggots were never going to stick around to begin with.

That, and >>104215001, it's a work in progress.

>>104214924
This could be true. But like I said, it was her job. A Chan no doubt had more say with her being in hololive first with Sora. But Harusaki was still someone who represented Holo and at the end of the day it was her job and what she was probably told to do. The Axel thing I don't know much about but it's not like they were fucking on stream. Give the girl a break, she's leaving now anyway and I wouldnt be surprised if she's already taken, she is staff after all not a Holo Idol.

>>104214955
She had like a grand total of 2 interactions with Holostars, two years ago. Her leaving has 0 effect on them

>>104214301
I believe she exist to replace achan

>>104213653
She is not as EOP friendly as A-chan was

>>104213262 (OP)
>approximately four years since i joined
WTF? FUCKING CLOCKS HOW DO THEY WORK

Would it be possible for Cover to disolve, and create Cover and Hololive 2.0, smaller company able to keep things tight?

>>104215161
They can join FSP

>>104215573
Not really. Any funds that would be used to create that new 2.0 would have to be given to investors since you can't just say that you're closing the doors since we don't want the executives muddling with it anymore.

Depending on how their non-compete clauses work in Japan, it could probably be possible if a group of talents decided to form a new company, but it would have to look like a coincidence or someone would definitely get their ass eaten for poaching.

>>104214733
>how come Niji doesn't have any staff leaving?
Have you been living under a rock?

>>104215573
it's going to be like every time they attempt to reset the Hololive Minecraft server; it's going to be fun at the first days, then gets too huge eventually and it becomes unfun. Hololive 2 might bring back the SOVL current Hololive is lacking, but they will fall into the same pitfall that Hololive 1 went into. so yeah it will always be a vicious cycle.

>>104213262 (OP)
FUCK

>>104213262 (OP)
I legit forgot Nodoka existed. Wtf did she even do there after A-chan left??

>>104216099
Took over as the "Additional Voices" person in HoloGra

>>104215573
Large majority of members want Hololive to be big since it opens a lot of doors for opportunities. Like, if you just want to "keep things tight" and to avoid all the hassle that comes with being part of a big organization, might as well graduate and become indies.

>>104215887

>>104216164
Do you know where you are, anon? Current /vt/ is filled with EOPs (understandably) and good chance is that most people don’t watch JP streams outside of special events (i.e concerts, fes, graduation)

>>104213262 (OP)
>Over
Not really, sounds like she wants to be a talent rather than staff. A-chan probably had the same epiphany. They probably saw how much Miko, Pekora, Marine, etc. are making and thought shit, I should be doing that instead.

>>104213262 (OP)
lmao she wants in on the vtuber grift too

>>104216164
Where are these "weekly" announcement streams? I checked the Hololive channel and there's only been 2 in the last 2 months. Also like that other anon said, I don't understand JP so I'm not gonna watch a JP news streams

i didnt get attached too much to Nodoka. her design and stream persona is just too generic. her predecessor A-chan's design was just too sex and memorable

>>104213262 (OP)
B-chan...

>>104216369
I mean I can’t blame her.
If she is going to be forced to do the job of a vtuber, might as well get the actual pay and perks of being a vtuber.
Instead of being a salaried virtual secretary.

Really don't get why they even put staff in the spotlight this hard when they're constantly in and out the door.It worked for A-chan but all these other managers they keep shilling come off as weird.

Funny how the people working closest with Yagoo are the ones who leave. But everything is fine because the talents say Yagoo best girl, even though they are so distant from the dude that Yagoo didn't even know Bae could speak Japanese until a few months ago, and that's only one example.

>>104213262 (OP)
So when do you think the Debut as indie is

>>104217183
> they're constantly in and out the door
Cover's turnover rate was around 10% by the end of 2024. That’s pretty low for a company of their size (or just pretty low in general), and there is nothing wrong with announcing her departure when she has been the one in charge of interacting with fans for years, anon
At least her statement is enough to kill all possible "she hated being there" or "black corpo" rrat

>>104217733
>Cover's turnover rate was around 10% by the end of 2024. That’s pretty low for a company of their size
The EN graduation rate is 25% and the idea of Hololive is that it was the golden ticket for vtubers. They could be famous characters that would be around for many years but an increasing number of them have left to be indie vtubers. Cover is either incompetent in that talents have zero faith in management and/or they really hate the direction of the company.

>>104218941

Literally nowhere it's really stated how much she's getting from her job. You don't know her wage and if she's getting some extra from being a part-time vtuber.
You're just saying things out from your ass and making statement like this.

>>104213262 (OP)
What?
No, literally, what was the point? Why all that effort in making her an entity with public image in the first place if she's going to leave?
This is such a bad PR look.

>>104215031
It was absolutely wild to me.
Like you’re a side character and you want me to pay $10 a month to watch ANY of your streams?

It actually made me a little bitter towards A-chan. Like she had gotten a big ego and now was going to milk fans for what should’ve been free official Holo channel content.

>>104221699
>No, literally, what was the point? Why all that effort in making her an entity with public image in the first place if she's going to leave?

>>104216164
No matter how little Achan streamed I never forgot about her because she had a personality. Nodoka was a waste of space.

>>104213262 (OP)
Can they stop with this "manager talent" shit already? A-chan was lightning in a bottle, it didn't work with Omega, it didn't work with Nodoka, and it didn't even really work with A-chan anymore at the very end. The time when an "A-chan" was necessary to bridge the gap between JP and EN has long since passed.

>>104213262 (OP)
Time for a comeback.

>>104213262 (OP)
I miss A-chan. There would be no Hololive without her.
Her departure preceded other talents leaving because of the new direction in management.
Those staying say that it is no longer like before, and that is a shame.

>>104213262 (OP)
thought this was someone from the newest gens but it's just some staff member?

who gives a shit

>>104213653

Cockroaches don’t just choose to leave. Homos will never leave unless they’re retarded like vesper/magni. Think it’s pretty clear that these faggots won’t have near the shit fanbase they have now after they leave.

>>104214209
I think it’s funny to reduce all of her input, accomplishments, and moments and reduce her all the way down to a homoshilling cock sleeve. Simple as.
