(+) Yeah! (+)

Gotta wait until next May for the release!
Even with a re-release it would take time.

That said, I can imagine a number of people will buy 2 copies so that they can flip one at scalper prices.

---

Got one too FOMO got the best of me, but it was cheaper than I was expecting and its a cute looking figure so eh.

Veibae and Froot interviewed briefly on the BBC.

Ha, that clip ends just before they cut back to the studio and the newscaster just goes 'really freaky'. Cool that Vtubers are becoming more mainstream though.

---

I know with these things they always point to the money to make it sound big, but from a short 2min clip it makes it look like superchats are their only revenue.

When speaking with others you quickly realise, most people don't actually get the concept of superchats either.
But yeah, kinda hard to cram a proper explanation in 2minutes.

smol ame dancing and singing my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard is a highlight

kson is building a gunpla with an avatar AND an actual camera like the chad she is

Pretty big day on the music front.

Suisei's got the MV out and Pekomoona doing Turing Love is a good choice, though I did like the Okayu/Aqua version a bit more. Roboco dropped something that suits her as well!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqT6cHCT1TE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRCzLtCsIQs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydprczRfM48

But Flare's MV for her Yoasobi cover is fab, maybe better than Watame's version too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5r8B1fDB8g

Almost makes me wanna watch Beastars again.


---

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NfISOnI0Wo

oh yeah, speaking of yoasobi covers, I really liked Kohigashi Hitona's (formerly of the Hanayori group) cover of ultramarine the other day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO5eIv7gySE

she also just celebrated her 2nd anniversary last night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPn1b5DKQ-Q

(actually, i'm not sure there is a single non-amazing vtuber cover of gunjou/ultramarine out there. it's been a little while but usuwa suu's, mair's and yuni's were exceptional too, and checking now the ones from suzuka stella, aruby, tamaki and hakase are all extremely close to flawless too)

https://mobile.twitter.com/GoodSmile_US/status/1425036251833552907

Wow I can't remember seeing something like this happen before. Re-releases sure, but 2nd round orders?

Gura turning into something special.

---

I kinda rate Marine perhaps a little too highly, maybe cos I think she oozes charisma, but her Anniversary show was ace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV0vI7Aflho

Her 2nd original song has a killer MV, but it's also not the kind of thing I expected after Ahoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VIeV_LZXHM

Seems like as their earnings increase wildly, they're getting more and more ambitious with their projects and it's paying off.

Good Smile normally dont limit preorders, except for special ones, I think. They even issued an apology about having to do it, but production issues worldwide mean that they couldnt allow open preorders. I guess they were worried more people would order Gura than they could realistically produce in time?

want my bubba and takodachi for sure

---

Definitely grabbing Death-sensei

Fortunately not big on plushies otherwise Id drop for the set.

---

what

Thankfully Suisei doesn't have any major mascot that can be turned into a plush or I'd be forced into buying that.
But I totally expect a lot of those plushies to sell out if there are any kinds of limits.

---

I can totally see more Vtubers showing up in games officially going forward. Hell, if the cast of RBWY can get into BlazBlue, I reckon it's only a matter of time before we see a Vtuber in Guilty Gear or something.

---

Calliope in GG would fit a little too well

---

I think an original Rhythm game would make sense given the strong parnterships with Bushiroad and the growing library of original songs.

Out of all the partnerships they've done, this seems like the biggest local one.
Getting your merch out for Japan's most popular sport....now who do I know in each of those locations.

i swear i did trim this down to just the ones i wanted to share oops (there were more than i realised)

Okay, so this one HAS to be a HoloEN Gen 2 tease, right?

Where is that from?

Alright time to speculate which bilingual talents they may have hired for this.

obvs no way to kno for sure but Hana Flores graduated from Kawaii5 literally 12 hours ago. i don't watch much of Hana tho, so no idea if she mentioned she's moving on elsewhere/retiring from vtubing in general/would even be a good fit for Hololive.

ame taking up the asacoco legacy aw yuss

---

anya new outfit is pretty adorable

---

Oh, tonight's the relay eh?

---

ollie new outfit is pretty awesome

---

Genki Nusantara Bridal Princess Zombie Ollie is pretty majestic but it's also cute without all the accessories.




---

without accessories arms behind back



*checks back to reine*

reine new outfit is pretty fashionable

---

Wow these are all great new costumes.

Reine's costume makes her look very fashionable and sophisticated. And quite sexy as well. (looking in a respectful manner)

Anya's is adorable and I love that the silhouette's not as...large as her usual look. Very cute and modern.

And yeah Ollie's is quite versatile.

---

Reine's the standout of the new outfits.

Also Polka's original song, the thumbnail alone was weird, but then the song is a trip.

---

bless pochi-sensei

---

HoloEN Gen 2 to start activites August 17! All debuting on Sunday.

https://twitter.com/hololive_En/status/1427436298529218565

Liking Ouro Kronii's and Hakos Baelz's designs the most initially.

---

hayasugi

---

wait what happened to omen *edit* oh that was just a video name not the actual holoen generation title... I def thought that was the actual name

anyway Mumei hype for sure I always love that foresty design, but also looking forward to Sana

---

I like the owl design the most since it's the most subdued.

---

Those sure are some Fate looking designs.

Chaos and Time let's gooo

---

Designs on the left and right are good. Middle three are kind of bad.

---

Sana looking muuuch better quality in her tweets

https://twitter.com/tsukumosana

Mumei and Ouro accounts are restricted, the rest probably joining soon enough

3 of their artists have designed F/GO servants so that'll do it

---

after looking at some other poses Mumei looks like she could be an Atelier character.
Having everyone debut on the 22nd though,I already assume Europe will get the shaft timezone wise
