They should've put a little more effort into that belly button! Sexo otherwise. Ponytail supremacy.

Oh man, losing the ribbon and the star hair clip ornament thing feels like way too big of a change. Love the mature office lady look but for a moment I thought it was another girl instead of the innocent Soda-chan.

>>114665782
Tbf the star ribbon barely exists in her new outfits but I do hope she would include the star ribbon for this first reveal, after all it's very iconic part of her default if this is supposed to be the new default

>>114666202

What the fuck
This is gonna be the new default? Its not an alternate outfit or anything like that? Jesus. This new look is already sanitized enough, with all the news about the merge this is a grim outlook...

>>114668999
This will be the "default" for a while at least because they will need to convert other outfit to the new model, about the merge I don't see it as a bad thing but it will be bad if it poorly executed, centralized brand should be good for other branch, it's stupid idea to separate things in the first place especially with Dev_is and Mekpark they don't even have "Hololive" name on them

I hate it, I really hate when vtubers drop things that are iconic to their look. If this really is Sora new default outfit, I’m seriously considering dropping Sora as my kamioshi, the outfit is so fucking generic and look like just a Holofest outfit. The lack of blue is disgusting, she’s always been associated with a clear blue sky, why the fuck are they removing that connection? Just imagine how awful she will look now when put against a blue sky. Her star with ribbon was her symbol, why the fuck are they removing it? Her tusk bangs are too small now, they’re drooping and way too close to her ears. I also love her old vest, but that’s just a personal preference, it’s not as offensive as the other stuff.

>>114672267
If it's just for things like MV they can simply draw Sora wearing the default outfit, that's not an issue, I just hope they will convert her other outfit fast

>>114672267
Damn took the words right out of my mouth. I reasoned myself out of dropping her as kamioshi over it but the thought did flit across my brain. I'm just being resistant to change, I tell myself...

>>114672267
Morgen wird es dunkler sein...

>>114672267
>kamioshi
>having more than one oshi
KYS harlot!
While I prefer her "old" default outfit, I don't mind this one. It IS a tad generic but Sora's charm is being surprisingly cute/passionate while appearing like the "normal" one, which is something the outfit helps emphasise. Additionally, I think the hair change/the stronger use of black and white helps to establish her becoming more mature (in other words evolving).
Finally I think her having sleeves as a default is nice as it further helps to reinforce her "maturing"/evolving due to Cover being unable to give her sleeves initially.

>>114674017
You don't even know what kamioshi mean, retard

>>114674017
Dunno feeling more fashionable.

Also still can't cook

>>114672267
See >>114674102

>>114674102
I know what kamioshi means, well at least colloquially in a Western context. It means that you have multiple people you support as your "favourite" but the person with that title is the person who you support the most/is your actual favourite. I hate the term because it devalues the term "oshi" by A) implying you can have multiple of them and B) being a "more extreme" version of the term.
>>114674147
It is idol fashionable which was my point (i.e. it looks like something a jpop/idol talent would wear, or slightly generic).
A lot of mature people can't cook either...

saorao is still sorao
but I miss default and starribbon

Ok do we actually know for sure it's her new default outfit? It's sort of implied but I haven't seen any direct confirmation yet.

>>114676180
On the official Holo page, all of her previous outfits have been deleted and only this new one remains, that's pretty much confirms it, it was the same with Azki

>>114676180
>hololive profile changed
>literally called it her "new me"
She's not going to out and out use the words new default because Sora doesn't like breaking immersion like that, but she did everything except use those words.

not a fan of her new design. luv her forever tho

>>114676180
It's her only outfit for now that's for sure but I believe they will convert her other outfits soon because there is sololive

I think I'm done with Hololive, I hate how Cover keeps trying to force EN and ID down my throat, to the point that I stopped watching any events where they in for years and only watched Sora, now they're merging the branches and are going to double down on this shit. That and Sora's horrible new design is just too much, I don't care anymore. I’ll still watch her occasionally to see if they reverse this shit, but I doubt it, Cover never does stuff like that

I am not feeling it anymore bros, what do I do?

I kind of like the new face, but the black on white palette plus the lack of star ribbon is lazy and I hate it...

I don't even feel motivated to buy her new merch... Maybe I will just take a rest from Sora for some time..

>>114677243
I don't think the merge thing is actually going to change much, but its fair enough if you'll pop in occasionally to check if things are as bad as you think they'll be. I don't love the new outfit as a replacement for the old default, but Sora is still Sora. I can only hope it grows on me.

>>114677520
Give it/Sora a chance, or take that rest. Sora will be here if you come back. I'm with you on the merch. I'll probably just get the stuff without the new design.

Look how they massacred my girl

I completely agree if you're complaining about the new outfit lacking the Sora theme and no star ribbon but the design itself is basically the same with the hair tuft (very important) so it's just matter of time for the outfit to comeback and they are probably working on the dream outfit upgraded version, plenty of tomos said they want to see the dream costume on concert again and Sora is always listen to her tomos

>>114678131
Her iconic blue outfit shouldn't be just an alternate outfit, it should be her fucking default

>>114677966
Side to side they feel like two different people. Or a niece or classmate that you see after 5 years and they look almost unrecognizable from how you last remembered them.

I think I understand why I dislike the new design so much, no matter all the bullshit that's happened at Hololive, you could always count on Sora to be there, unchanged and carrying on, changing her default outfit feels like a betrayal to that stability

>>114678131
>Sora is always listen to her tomos
That's been my cope so far

>>114678222

Sora is still going to be Sora at the end of the day.

>>114678652
Sora and Azki change are different tho, if you just don't believe the outfit will be back eventually then just wait and see, you're whining here for hours ain't gonna change shit

>>114678954
The change is indeed still drastic and sudden anon, at least let the anon grieve a little...
I hope you're right in the end as the blue default is dear for most of us, but I guess we can only hope for now...

A lot of overreactions here today huh.

>>114678954
Eh let em vent here. It's not like they can post this kind of opinion on Twitter or YouTube.

>>114679121
He has been whining for hours and being overly dramatic about it, even brings up merge shit like it has anything to do with Sora like she will be forced to do collabs or some shit, and tomos actually voicing their thought and plenty of them said they missed the iconic blue outfit and star ribbon

>>114678954
Some people react to change differently regardless of the positive or negative things. Might be an overreaction because Sora is still the same baby controlling the avatar, but people have been growing with the old outfit.
On the other hand we very rarely saw the blue default outfit nowadays and it is true that the tracking and the model itself was showing its age.

Who knew that the 10th year would start off with the biggest crisis ever to hit /ぬんぬん/? This is bigger than when Sora was sick for a month and there was a massive konsome shortage

>>114679504

Kek I was thinking this was our biggest crisis too. Bigger than the schism! Which we might have to revert back to if enough tomos dip...

>>114679504

Well I take that crisis as a joke. The woman behind the avatar is the same mischievous girl we know and love and >>114679439 is correct about her model being old. If we compare her movements to recent gens something was off.

Sora is already collabing with side branches plenty of time, you're acting like this merge will drastically change her content as she will be forced to do collabs with them now

>>114679898
Why do you have to treat it as a joke?
Some people loved the "avatar" as well, it seems more so than you.

I'm irked they removed the outfits from the website. No warning so we could at least save the images.

Why don't you compare side by side from her earliest model then?

I wonder what's Sora plan for Holoraku, I mean she was "suggesting" the staff for some features to be added, she must be already got some idea what she is going to do with it.

So, what design are they going to use in the anime? It’s been in production for years, so I assume it’ll be the blue one, but then, why the fuck would you change the model with this timing? New fans will come and the design of the anime will nowhere to be found, the more I think about it, the more stupid this become

>>114687167
The new design does give a more mature Onee-san vibe to Sora-chan, it's a nice contrast to how she's still acting(?) like a baby towards soratomos.

>>114687815
It's more like that's how the model works, more rounded face to give more cheeks details for pouting animation or something like that

>>114687986
The vibe is more mature but the way better physics makes it capable to give more detailed expression and when Sora is doing her playful teasing it's actually looks more bratty it makes her looks even younger than the previous model

I gave it a sleep to think about it.
I still don't really like it. I prefer the blue default to this generic thing. Still looks better than Suisei's dogshit mishmash desu senpai
I like her old face compared to this. Somehow the proportions feel off, I dunno. BUT I get why she might've wanted a change. I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, in fact I think I even asked itt if
>this is Sora's final form?
welp, got my answer. But when seeing her on screen with some of the other girls recenly, she did stand out a tad. Facially. That was both good, and bad. Somehow now I think she meshes better with the overall look of everyone else. There's +'s and -'s to that, of course, loosing a unique trait and all is bad, but so is looking like a dinosaur compared with the new girls.
If that's right that the new look was designed to be more modern and fit in with everyone else then that's a good thing for her because I was getting the impression, when this thought came to mind, that she looked a little archaic compared with her kouhai somehow. I wonder if she found the difference too stark? Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I still don't like the face but I get why she might've wanted it changed. If she starts wearing her better, older outfits my dislike will eventually fade. I hope. My thoughts are still muddled on this.
Changing faces is one thing, abandoning the blue and ribbonstar is another. That is a definite mistake and there's no reasoning around that imo.

THAT BEING SAID, I hope she recognises that when AI-chan returned that she quickly abandoned that flawed dogshit "mature model" and has seemingly, and fittingly, returned to classic AI. That is, I hope that she really wanted this without any personal reservation and didn't feel pressured to do so. Maybe she just wants to look more mature. Not that this model is anywhere near as bad as that abomination with the wacky proportions AI returned with. Fuck taht.

>>114694597
Not anons who complained but this model is different from her other ones. This model is replacing her other ones (or at the very least it is replacing her default model). That outfit has been associated with Sora for the better part of 7 years( and even then the model it replaced was extremely similar). This new default is a radical shake up. Additionally, with the other models she got, they weren't the new default and thus she could switch out them whenever. However, with this model, she will have it as her only model for a while which makes the fact that it is so different hurt more.

>>114658733

I was unironically planning a trip to Japan next year to celebrate her 10th. Now I am honestly not so sure anymore.

I am actually kind of surprised that a change in her core design had such a big impact on me, I feel kind of betrayed in a way. I am even starting to question many things, maybe I am too old already for this oshi thing or Vtubers in general..

I hope that I can get over this soon, otherwise I might really drop Vtubers for good.

I keep telling myself this wouldn't have happened without Sora's buy-in, so ultimately it's fine, but there's a part of me that feels like I trusted her to... I dunno. Know what the tomos like too.

To her and Ordan's credit, I think it's a great outfit. It doesn't feel good enough if she's trying to replace her default outfit though.

If the JPtomos don't like it then they won't dare say it on known fan accounts so it's impossible for us to tell. It's kinda the same reason we're only talking about it here where we're (mostly) sure Sora doesn't know about us.

>>114702329
>antis
Dude, if I were an anti I wouldn't be ranting here, I would be all over Twitter trying to annoy her. I rant here because I know she would never ever come to this place. I don't want to cause any problems for her, I just want to vent my feelings.

>>114703199
>Surely they're working on bringing her old outfits back?
God, I wish. If they do this, I will do a naked dogeza and ask for her forgiveness, but honestly I doubt it.

>>114700884
Same, I'm going to gradually reduce my exposure to Sora until I stop caring about her and can move on, this change has been very disappointing, and I feel betrayed by it, especially how they're deleting the original design from stuff

>>114703960
Yeah, but you're feelings are stupid. You don't love her anymore because her outfit changed? Even though it's still the same Sora as always? She kissed me today on stream you know. She had a silly redebut-like stream that was honestly kinda lame, exactly what I would expect from Sora.

>>114704037
Even if they bring it back, they're only going to do one or two token streams with it and then never do it again, just like Miko and Azki have done, stop getting your hopes up

>>114703946
The few JPTomos that I follow are all over her trying to push the "oh, so cute". From what I can tell, they love it, or maybe as the other anon says, they just went with the current and will never tell what they really feel.

Correct, Miko has had this outfit for years and there's nothing wrong with it, but she hasn't used it in years, and is mostly used for promotional stuff. Her main shrine maiden outfit is the one with cat ears now

Everyone likes different aspects of Sora, be either her design, her personality, etc. For me it is a combination of everything, if something changes, I will feel that something is off.
Now imagine that your favorite IRL idol does a plastic surgery and you hate how she ended up, maybe others are ok with it, but not you, you don't like it at all. Would you still root for her? She is still the same person inside, you know?

Today's Konsome, Sora's going to lock in her rehearsals until the live! Speaking of which...

He's a retard, if this new model had come with a total change in her body proportions, like making her completely flat like Matsuri or something, he wouldn't be saying stupid shit like “she's still the same Sora as always, you just hate it because you're an anti”

Last night's stream confirmed that this is a full rebrand. She has a new logo and her stream assets (intro, outro, scene transitions too most likely) will be changing to match the new her new visual direction. This is why the intro animation was replaced by a still image of Ankimo and she didn't play the usual stream ending animation. The era of blue Default Sora is over.

And that's what made me decide to drop Sora, this outro is perfect, removing it feels like sacrilege

>Comparing an outfit change to plastic surgery
Kek really?

>>114703946
This is the problem.
It's the same with all of us here:
>can't say shit on the leddit hugboxz even if you wanted to use fucking leddit
>can't voice dissent on the trooncord
>shitter is a cesspool; not even gonna bother
I don't access the JPtomo trooncord, but i assume there is one.
I'm certainly not going to shit up Sora's yt comment section with my pidgin Japanese.
Anyone been to Tower? I know one of you periodically updates the thread over there as the much needed "just in case" backup, but that's all that mirror over there is, a placeholder.
I don't know what the general thread over there have been saying about Sora specifically.

Perhaps look at the yt comments of various JP clipper channels? From the JP Shorts clippers I've seen the comments are predictable as
>>114704148 says.
>if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it
seems to be the order of the day. I don't visit 5chan. If there's any JP negativity, it can only be there just as it can only be here.

They seem to be in favor of it over there, although they did notice something about Ankimo...

I think hlgg was supportive of the new design, though how many are tomos I couldnt say. Got this from other there though.

>>114705794
I did see that, actually. Is there any more though?
>>114705711
I'll check the link

So fitting and hilarious if true. I hope it's true, in fact.

It’s like if a country singer had been wearing your typical cowboy outfit for years and on his 10th anniversary, for no fucking reason at all, decided to completely revamp his image and transform his look into that of a heavy metal singer, he’ll keep singing country music, but now he’ll wear heavy black coats, lots of metal spikes, white face paint a la Kiss, and he’s ditched his iconic cowboy hat, but don’t worry, he’s still wearing cowboy boots! They’re black with metal tips, so raw and metal! And he expects you to be okay with it, even though it’s fucking weird and not what you signed up for.

>>114706104
Now you're just over exaggerating.

>>114706297
I'm not, her cheerful image as an idol was replaced by a cool image of a serious singer, the bright blue sky was changed to a dull and shitty dark sky

>>114706376
You are. Most of this thread has been.

>>114706469
I accept your concession

To the tomos venting: I get it, and I empathize since I don't like it either. I'm just gonna give it some time (pun not intended).
One of you said you were "too old to change". So am I, I'm old as shit. But I figured out that it wraps around again and I find that I'm "too old to not change", if that makes any sense. I've mellowed out in my old age I guess, and eventually I'll get over this shit because I always do.

There's this guy who brought up a complaint, but his issue is more about the model than the clothes themselves

>>114706543
I don't think you know what that means

>>114706587
Maybe that's the difference, us ojisans are taking it the hardest while the youngtomos are more relaxed about it. Unfortunately, it seems like most Soratomos are ojisans so this is going to be a rough time for a while

>>114706587
I wonder what is it about Sora that attracts so many ojisans. Is it how daughtercoded she is?

>>114680285
That really bothered me too. I never downloaded them because I never thought they would remove her history like that. If I'm being honest, it makes me sad.

>>114707363
sniff

>>114680285
I'm gonna assume it was the same for AZKi and Foobs when they got their model changed too

>>114681339
I think this is actually more accurate than many realize.
Recently, it feels like Japan has been trying to move away from anime and fun character designs to more realistic styles. I really don't like it.
Kizuna Ai tried to do this same thing too when she came back.
Looking at the Ocarina of Time remake, you see the same thing. For whatever reason, Japan seems to be moving away from stylized expression into a more generic style. I suspect maybe it's because they have been wrongly told by western consultation groups that Japanese designs would be more popular around the world if they were changed to be less anime-like and stylized and instead be more modest and realistic.
It's really unfortunate.

>>114703946
You clearly have no idea about the relationship between Sora and the oldtomos if you think they are just your typical japanese yesmen, retarded newfag

I really don't like that they removed all the old images of her past outfits.
It feels like if your parents told you they threw out all the photos of you from when you were young.

>>114708246
>retarded newfag
I'm not but please tell me oh based oldfag how oldtomos have ever made any meaningful pushback on anything Sora has done outside of playfully teasing her on her pronunciation of words

Man some of you guys really aren't taking the change well huh
tbf it is pretty harsh that they just do the bait and switch like this with no forewarning

>>114708407
Some of them actually voicing their thought about the blue outfit and star ribbon, saying how they will miss them, that's how they complaint but not being overly dramatic because the model itself is fine unlike what retard say itt equating it with plastic surgery or drastic body change like becoming completely flat, you're just trying to create a narrative that the JPtomos don't like it but they are afraid to say it

To be honest I'm not 100% crazy but if that's what she wants, who am I to rain on it?

Interesting, if you've won a spot in the previous offline meet-ups you can't enter again

I think that was the first meet up, but it was nice that it motivated tomos to make their own and that Sora and the FC staff acknowledged it

>>114709358
A-anon, are you ok?
