What do we think of the new talents?For me, it's Sopia and Mela.
>>115216206Testament that Cover has no scouting. Saddest selection of crumbs despite nepohires being 50%.
>>115216239As someone who is insanely critical of vtubers, especially Japanese vtubers since they're a dime a dozen, Mela and Sopia are well above average.They're almost golden gen-tier.
>>115216206Sopia has my curiosity. The rest are all pleasant and I'll be watching streams that seem interesting (games I like, karaoke, silly idea streams).
They seem like a great bunch actually, it's still too early to say anything more than first impressions but, I feel like Mela in particular has the IT factor to make it genuinely big.
>>115216206Give them two months and then we can talk. I'm always looking at the JP ones in a way more positive light than ENs, but with how saturated this market is and how inconsistent everyone is with their gimmicks(maybe save for Hajime, Kanade and a handful of others) - one cannot be sure if they won't just turn own to be the most common vtubers you can find withing a one minute google search.But overall I guess Mela is a good watch(also as background noise); with Sopia I don't see the appeal, but she's alright, very cute; Suzuna might just devolve into playing Valo/Apex/other FPS slop so that's most likely who is she going to cater to, but let's pray she doesn't turn out to be the second Matsuri; and Kyoko is my least favourite. I can't really pinpoint why, but she just seems bland. Like yeah she can speak English, but there's no way it's her main selling point, there has to be more to it, and I hope she can show it. Doesn't help she's already being partially infected by some of the least likable ENs like gigi or kiara.
>>115216264Maybe if Mekpark is your standard lol
>>115216206Mela is cute but not a gamer so might not be interesting long term. I hope she never stops the noja. Hoping for a good karaoke from her. She's not particularly funny so not much entertainment potential with her, unfortunately.Sopia has potential but hasn't really done much of anything. Her karaoke had a decent song selection but she was very half-hearted in her singing, only putting in effort into the last song. Not impressed but she definitely has potential to hit it big with the right idea or niche.Kyoko has potential since she likes challenging herself with games. Might be fun to watch her gaming streams in the future. She's good for collabs and announcements/events. Good hire.Tsuzuri is a valorant/apex shitter. Dropped. Also has the personality of a dead fish if the awful game taste wasn't enough.
>>115216264you have got to be kidding me. they seem to different than your average mid-tier indie shitter, there's a million of them out there. nothing special about them whatsoever
>>115216206>>115216264They're boring as fuck.
>>115216206Goat love. Space love. Salamander currently neutral on. Orange woman bad.
>>115216206peak noja
>>115216206Goat is a cutie but her mic is really low qualityNoja is a cutie but i don't really know if i would watch herDon't know anything about Aliengirl, i don't really like her designWatched some clip of the orange one in english and she sounds really fake, like generic high-views twitch streamer
>>115216206Imo Mela should have her mask on at all times. It's the charm point of her design and makes it memorable
>>115218902At least half of the stream imo
>>115216206Kyoko > Mela > Sopia > Tsuzuri
>>115216206Tsuzuri design is amazing but they gave it to a talentless hag that will waste hundreds of hours playing some shitty FPS games.
mela: cute, yappy, good vibestsuzuri: disappointing, not even that good at valorantsopia: all the science and phd gimmicks asides, boring streamer, bad singingkyoko: really talented, a bit tryhard, but not the type the core fanbases like
>>115216206I'll follow sophia because a science holo is something that presonally I never though it gonna happen, period (raden being an arthoe is pretty unussual in all by itself) and kyoko as a "bootleg" EN who does stream in EN (unlike the real EN whoms either don't stream at all or it is in japanese)>inb4 EOPworse, ESL
>>115222026What makes Mela's yapping more interesting than the other 3?
>>115216206Noja LOVETsuzuri cute and dumbKyoko too loud and too energeticno thoughts on Sopia
>>115216206Honestly none have gripped me as much as the flowglow gals, who are a genuine golden gen. I’ll keep observing them, Kyoko seems the most interesting to me so far.
I'll be watching mostly Mela and Sopina, I'm indifferent towards Kyoko, Tsuzuri will be a a definite skip if she devolves into constant Valoslop.
for me, it is the goati like her ears
>>115216206Haven't watched them, nor even seen clips of them so far Justice stays winning
>>115222026Tsuzuri did say she was out of practice (due to the inactive period before debut)
>>115216206Neutral on Mela and Sopia. Goat's very cute. Kyoko has an endearing earnestness.If anything Goat's Valorant streams are nostalgic to the days where Roboco and Choco-sensei would have their solo APEX streams>>115216397Impossible for Goat to be a second Matsuri; the habitual self-sabotage isn't a common trait nor does she seem to make borderline humor her thing.If anything Kyoko has one of Matsuri's positive traits: caring for her genmates.
>>115216397Kyoko is eager and high energy. Seems eager to do anything, and being bilingual opens up her opportunity to do JP streams, play EN games, and interact with IDs and ENs. I'd say the only reason to dislike her would be if you don't like her hag tastes or dislike boisterous women.
>>115224083She certainly seems willing which is a big thing considering how much CeCe collabs outside EN despite no Japanese speaking.
>>115224083I like blabbermouths, but boisterous is a good adjective to keep me away.
>>115224238We love headstrong orange women.
>>115224327I like Pillowdear, but she's hardly a woman anymore.
>>115224390Did she turn into a pillow?
>>115224501She turned into a little girl.
>>115216206I want to have sex with Mela.
>>115224970Get a job a Tokyo host club and you likely can.
>>115216206i love nanoja the mostest
>>115216532>not a gamerA good thing. Pretty sure Kanata was not either until dark souls happened
>>115227171Surprises happen.
>>115224327>Watch Kiara in 2020>Like her>Watch Gigi in 2024>Like her>Watch Kyoko in 2026>Like herWhat can I say, I'm an ORANGE enjoyer
>>115228145Kinda like how I'm a blonde Enjoyer (Aki, Choco, Nene, Iroha, and very likely Tsuzuri)
>>115227171Kanata would've been better if she were a gamer. This rule applies to all vtubers.
>>115222098>a science holo is something that presonally I never though it gonna happenKoyori...
>>115216206>4 new girls>all boring as fuckYahoo is purposely shooting himself in the foot now and I don't understand why.
>>115216206I need Kyoko carnally
>>115232492Nepohiring will do that to your company.
>>115216206>think of the new talents?Personally I find them boring. Mela is the only one with real potential.
>>115221607>playing some shitty FPS games.The best designs always go to the male collabers. Just look at Towa and Shiori...
>>115216206mela is the only good one, she has the best voice, a cute speech impediment/tick (what ever you call saying noja constantly), is flat, is blue. other 3 are total shitters
>>115234532>all the good women are takenaieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>115216206>noja 3/10skeptical. being an "internet literacy" expert means she's been cancelled multiple times before. will keep a distance for the first year or two and see how it goes.>sopia 6/10boring but reliable. cute face. i am looking forward to her science quiz streams.>goat 5/10FPS spammer, not my thing. will drop by if she does ASMR. bias aside she would've been 7/10.>kyoko 6/10eager and earnest, but awkward when streaming alone. i think she is similar to polka and gigi in that they shine better in collabs.
Mela = Both Matsuri's bitch and boring at the same timeSopia = BoringKyouko = Ok, but there's a gap between her recent streams and the first one. There's not much reason to watch her do basic streams like this over the old membersTsuzuri = Cute retard homocollaber
See it's kind of too soon to judge but I will share my own opinions. I think Mela can last, she doesn't play much games means there's more games for her to experience more room for interesting improvement also she's super cute. Kyoko is too high-energy for me I'm kind of finding her loudness really annoying. Goat is cute, too cute but fps is a huge turn off, it might be good if you do a few streams but saying it one of her favorite things is meh boring; she should branch out and reduce the frequency of fps in the future because I think she has a lot of potential (that'll probably be wasted). And Sopia is just a science version of Raden, she'll be interesting for a certain group of people.
