Why did it flop?
>>
>>113381741
i can see two reasons in the OP
>>
>>113381741
Literally the only good design is the male tuber
>>
>>113381741
Why is Eruu the only sexy one
Wtf even is shao jesus christ
>>
>>113381741
at least give us some info on how it flopped, the ccv, views, subs etc.
>>
>>113381926
the grey loli is fine.
>>
>>113382316
I'm sure he looks fire in the furry community
>>
>>113381926
The incredibly generic one or the other thing
>>
>>113382639
I thought the furry was a girl
>>
>>113382697
Indont know what it is but it certainly doesn't look like one
>>
>>113381926
if you have a peculiar fetish
>>
>>113381741
The big flaw is that the company that released Izigenia had little understanding of the vtuber market. A vtuber gen has to be complementary so their is viewer overlap between the talents. The viewers of the grey loli, the bishonen guy, the sexy waifu, and the edgy furry might as well exist in different gens. Nijisanji EN might have been able to do a gen like this 3 years ago but in 2026 they also would have struggled. When a vtuber corpo gets too close to imitating the indie vtuber market they are than competing directly with indie vtubers.

>Why did it flop?
I spent a good time following the corp, so I'll give a rundown of how things went:
>Formally announced July 2025, with it's first pool of auditions held between August and September.
>From this point forward, "metemofu" the mascot attached in the picture, takes over tweets. Most are just pointless trivia, themed day tweets "Happy dog day, bork bork" and the like. If you applied (like I had) you basically heard NOTHING from this company besides from this stupid fluff ball for nearly six months.
>Attended various conventions to promote itself in this time frame, however it was typically low-key with staff doing most of the networking on foot rather than having a booth.
>January 2026 rolls around and auditions are re-opened into a "Seasonal" format. Speculation that a planned hire had already quit by this point. Why I heard you ask, we'll get to that shortly.
>The social media account spams daily that auditions are happening for a month straight, with "metemofu" banished for the time being.
>Upon auditions wrapping up, "metemofu" takes back the reigns and it's more vtweeter like interactions. "I like candyfloss, yum" ass interaction. Meanwhile the corpo has avoided basically every Spring event going (Offkai and smaller cons) leaving questions to be asked.
>Announce your new gen in April with complete art.
>DO NOT LET THEM DEBUT UNTIL MAY.
>1 WHOLE MONTH OF TWEETS.
>Debut to next to no attention. V4M, SVP, Socks etc. have PAID for bigger indies to watch the debuts happen. Nothing. Not a peep in the greater market for IZI. Most generals (bar /wool/ for past life reasons) care for the gets.
>Website shows that Gen 2 is ready to debut, five hires. Gen 1 is only four, fueling further rrats that Gen 1 was also meant to be five.
>As >>113383379 and others have put, the group has 0 overlap and given they are all almost /here/ in some manner... Have gone back to doing what they would have as indies, but for the brand. Thus the Loli has the /wool/ demo and already on hiatus, the furry is tight with VA's and has collabed more with Mouse than Holostars entire lifetime stats. The Selenface avoids males whenever possible, but is hemorrhaged by her corpo setup. It's a mess.

They've held another seasonal audition, but the company itself has already set the bar too high and the pool (especially for males) is too shallow. The optics on the room mates has been terrible (already making tweets) and if you are a numberfag, you'll know most did better as indies. This is the parent companies FORTH attempt at a vtubing project and it's impressive how fumbled it is. Even NEXAS had a long-term goal and motivation compared to these guys.

>>113381741
maybe because nobody even knows about it? what is it even and who they are?
>>
>>113381741
> pedobait
> fujobait
> mommybait
> furrybait

> also mixed gen

its like they did their best to make this flop from the start

i guess miwa really wanted a jp corpo on her resume
>>
>>113381741
The disturbing lack of Eruu porn is what lewd to their downfall
>>
I watched one of Kafka's karaoke streams once, it was ok. She's fluent in both jp and en which is rare. But their downfall was creating a vtuber agency in 2026 when no one cares anymore
>>
>>113383770
I hope at least miwa gets to keep the IP.
>>
>>113386077
why?
>>
>>113386112
I like the model.
>>
>Sedric
>>
>>113381741
never heard of this group but I will take eruu and the mythical nova
>>
>>113383582
>the Loli has the /wool/ demo and already on hiatus
the loli is streaming consistently although, and she also looks like have some experience with Voice acting
>>
>>113383582
This is Nippon TV's corpo right? They should have more than enough money to spend on it if they want.
>>
>>113386713
As I said, her past life demo merely moved over. So the company isn't really seeing growth but a borrowed fandom.
>>113386821
Nippon is a minor investor via CLan, yes.
>>
>>113386906
i see now, i don't know if this is too much personal, but you know the name of her past life?
>>
>>113386954
Would be better to ask within /wool/ or /slag/
>>
>>113386954
miwa
>>
>>113383582
>FORTH attempt at a vtubing project
let me guess the other attempts never got this far and I opened youtube and saw ads for your models today
>>
>>113383582
Wait this is the NEXAS guy behind it?
>>
>>113381741
>>
>>113381741
Who?
>>
>>113386713
Her ASMR on her PL is better, and her old fans and clippers make it really obvious who that is. It will funnel views back to her old channel.
>>
>>113393790
Seems to be a common thing these days. Join a new small corpo, wait until it collapses, funnel viewers back to the old channel.
>>
>>113386077
I hope she doesn’t. She acted like she was going to die and that it was all a health thing only to turn up in this destined for failure corpo. She clearly hates her fans and it’s disgusting
