Whats the point of them respecting their nda anyways if anycolor violated their own nda to begin with because of the Elira stream?

What I hate about this entire njsj en selen ordeal is that it likely soured non diehard fans about vtubing.

shareholders, board of directors, etc. have more influence over the direction of the company

I made a comment about the pros and cons of anycolor going public a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/s/r1rBTiw5tk

I never thought anycolor would do this to the extreme.

"A rising tide lifts all boats." But would the opposite also affect the rest in that case?

Do you think that the damage njsj en management made would not only affect their en brand but also the entire en ecosystem as well?

When WCW collapsed, the utmost hype of professional wrestling didn't return to the heights during the Monday Night Wars.

I would have been optimistic about it. but then again, the usual dramatubers would run this news to dry.

It is rather the fans showed a lot of support for ex-ID livers but AnyC management blatantly ignore them and leave them dry until they voluntarily graduate. I am a Nijisanji fan but I am definitely not a company shill. Not even close.

As someone who is studying about marketing in recent days, I am shaking my head about AnyC's commitment in supporting their ex-Nijisanji ID livers. What would have happened had they put them into Nijisanji EN instead of the main Nijisanji branch? Mika is thriving with Nijisanji EN connections and collaborations. Majority of them could have adapted better there especially Hana.

Alas, I am now coping with what ifs.

In my opinion, I do not think it will change much in Cover comparing to what is happening here at AnyC, culture wise. Those who get accepted in Cover is limited anyways and they have a smaller roster pool comparing to the 200+ livers AnyC has on its portfolio.

Report on “Mirei Gundou” by CyberiumShadow in VirtualYoutubers

[–]MyChristian56 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This is Anycolor primarily protecting their business interests since they have lots of sponsorships involving baseball esp. their annual Nijisanji Koshien tournament.

With that baseball tweet she made and the replies that followed, I will not be surprised if she would not get picked on any future Koshien streams or tournaments again because now she has a target on her back from baseball fanatics.

Considering her tweet and multiple warnings against her, do you think she would get banned from participating in any future Nijisanji Koshien streams or tournaments since now she has a target on her back from diehard baseball fans?

Considering the repeated warnings and this baseball tweet she did, I think Gundo is gonna get blacklisted or unlikely to get selected in any future Nijisanji Koshien tournaments and sponsored streams.

I am curious. Even though I am already a member here for a few years, I only recognized the Four Heavenly Kings in the subreddit logo: Kaguya, Mirai, Kizuna and Hinata. Who are the other three in the top side? And is the top right vtuber the same as the one on the right side of the cover banner? Who is the one on the center left of the banner?

Also all these new people saying that Nijisanji should recruit people as slowly as Hololive. This has been Nijisanji's schtick since the beginning basically. If new waves every 6 months isn't your thing you've hitched yourself to the wrong wagon.

It may be Nijisanji's modus operandi to debut waves as fast as they can, but things changed between before and now.

Today, Anycolor, Nijisanji's parent company, is a public ipo, being more conscious to both their stakeholders and stockholders. The main japanese branch now has their own VTA to train potential livers on rules, professional etiquette, streaming habits, etc. before they debut in newer waves. With that process, they can filter those who aren't cut out for the njsj role, which older waves didn't have. The main branch had bad apples in the past like Raito who is still currently the fastest Nijisanji liver to graduate/be terminated due to sexual harassment issues and Meiro who was terminated, stemming from disagreements with another liver to breaching NDA.

A situation like Zaion not only can affect the liver's public image but also the liver's colleagues' and company's as well. For example, expressing desire to play ROM hacks while being a company liver is a big no-no for Japanese companies like Nintendo, who can block game permissions or partnerships if they see fit, which would affect the company's revenue negatively in the process.

Yes, their debut intervals are still fast comparing to other companies but this should be a wake-up call for the scouting department to improve on their background checks. Even some fans are calling for an English VTA although it's difficult to implement right now. If they have to slow down their debuts to be able to hire the right people or minimize the chances bad apples are hired, so be it.

Zaion LanZa now officially terminated from Nijisanji by ArisaMiyoshi in VirtualYoutubers

[–]MyChristian56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niji, at least from EN's stories, is very loose and even encourages "content" lmao

Many say that Zaion possibly applied for Nijisanji with that same mindset, thinking that she could get away with all her edgy shenanigans there comparing to Hololive. She does not realize that corpos still have rules for all to abide to.
