I enjoy that Calli, Ina, and Gura all have different times (and a different date, in Calli's case) for the enderdragon fight collab.

E: wait, no, Calli's just using JST dates, I'm dumb. Looking like maybe Gura's starting early?

The first two are the exceptions considering it's only four out of 55.
And I'm p sure Kiara's made it clear they didn't know each other beforehand. (Plus they've never interacted with each other on twitter previous to Hololive)

Also, like, none of the ENs, including IRyS, share a background.
The JPs are much more likely though, but even then it's more likely to be a "oh yeah they were together in some event" rather than a close relationship like what we were talking about.

I believe Gura and Amelia did follow each other on Twitter prior to Hololive and may have collabed but that's hard to confirm because they both deleted all of their archives.

And yeah this is real solid work, Ange should be doing her first stream possibly tomorrow and she didn't even know the rules of baseball, much less Power Pro, so it's a good time to learn together. :v:

Speaking of Ange, she followed Rosemi on twitter which I know because she subtly hinted at it happening.

Falls Down Stairs posted:

given this, they kind of weave miracles out of however their selection process works


Sorry wall of thought inbound.

I really do believer that the way Hololive members are now is something of a miracle given all the context. A lot of the Hololive members have been very open about how things were when things first started and also about each of the gens. Roboco and Aki talked about how in the beginning everyone was left to their own devices as far as content for streams and collaborations were not really a common event. Most members for Gen 0, 1 and 2 never really interacted with each other until recently. I think it wasn't until a month or two ago that Gen 0 were in a collab with every member (and that sort of took Flare calling their gen out on it in minecraft which prompted Miko to gather the group). The more the members talk about how things were and what changed over time it really does frame the picture that Cover/Hololive didn't really have a long term game plan and adjusted as time went on.

Gen 1 and 2 were told not to be too loud on stream but that went out the window when Gen 3 started. Collabs started to also be more common once Gen 3 and 4 were around. In my opinion Hololive members definitely have pillar members that have helped support and move Hololive to what it is today. Sora for being the first to start streaming (with the help of A-chan) that caught the eye of Yagoo and helped shift Cover's venture into the world of Vtubers from a tech company. Fubuki for being the "leader" of Hololive at the time when there wasn't really and direction from management and for interacting with other members when she could. Marine for being the heart of gen 3 and helping to establish one of the most close knit gens. Coco for pushing the envelope and helping other members not only with content but also personal worries. I think all those helped keep the group close and familiar with each other enough that now-a-days a lot of HololiveJP refer to the group as a family.

Currently I've been seeing other members step up to be a point of help and support. Subaru, being the extrovert, has become more social with everyone and has collabed a lot. Lately with Luna and Choco-sensei who get over shadowed a lot. But she was the one who helped organized the first ever offline get together of all of Gen 2 for their 3nd anniversary. Botan's been sort of the leader of 5th gen along with Lamy and is often seen as the more level-headed and calm member. She's also one of the most tech savvy with equipment and has helped a lot of members with their rigs when issues come up. And when Subaru or Botan themselves need support they have other members to lean on and SMOK or 5th Gen.

I only follow a few Nijisanji members so I'm not sure if they have an equivalent list of members that are regarded with that level of respect but I would gather that behind the scenes there are some members that help out where they can.


tldr: I fully agree and it has helped shape Hololive into the familial unit it is currently.

You're right of course, I was going for a joke about people wanting a male NijiEN already but ID definitely has a few and they're all good people. Plus I don't actually think Oliver is going to be doing much English conversing, though he did correct Axia on his misspelling of "simple" and said that's gonna be a supplementary exam which was pretty funny.

https://twitter.com/oliverD_23/status/1417044995240910850

Axia responded saying that he just wants to go home and play video games, to which the teach replied that he'll be using English in his video games too so he'd best hammer it in his head first... followed with ("please teach me how to use social media"). I think these guys are going to be pretty alright.
