    Great video!
    Just one thing, Amelia wasn't originally a time traveler, just a regular detective. Only a few days after debut she added this aspect to her lore by herself. And it works so well that people forget she wasn't a time traveler from the start.

      I think the fact that she only just is a detective further elevates his point of Amelia feeling like she's the main character/leader of the group because of how normal she is compared to the rest of Myth too.
      Edit: Not normal 'normal'(because honestly shes the weirdest in the group) but in terms of design and lore

      Couldn’t have said it better myself. All of the HoloEN girls are absolutely golden and iconic, and I seriously cannot fathom anyone else being in each of their roles. It’s why I wonder if when they audition, do they get to pick what character they audition for, or is it just a general audition and then Cover decides what role would fit each passing applicant best?

      @@Akaryusan I feel that in order for this to work, they need to pick the perfect tailored personality for the character and do alot of changes for them to even fit, its nuts how much the character fits perfectly with the person behind, the main problem here is that they make them bounce from each other in all aspect you can imagine, this is good when you see a collab of 5 of that gen, but cut 1 person and they feel incomplete, a good example is Gen 3, Gen 4 and Gen 5. You know that something is missing there, and its not because we know what we had before, its the same vibe as watching Full Metal Classic, its good but you feel something is missing there, you don't know what but you kno something is missing, then you watch FMA Brotherhood, and everything makes sense now

    I think Kiara deserves a lot more credit than she usually gets too. These days if you asked who is the "leader" of the group, most people would say Ame, but for the first few months after their debuts I think people really underrate how much Kiara pulled the group together with her extrovert energy. For a while the other four girls were clearly nervous and shy about speaking up in collabs and there was a while when a lot of the full group streams ended up with Kiara filling a ton of dead air and asking the other girls questions or making conversation to help them open up. Her ability to talk to anyone without any shyness or shame was really important not just for connecting with the JP branch early on but also for bringing the group together and helping everyone else shine too.

    Calli's remix contest was another element of fucking genius that helped boost the popularity into whole other fandoms, too. You had whole other fandoms that were seeing some of their favorite artists making remix of this "weird vTuber song," figuring out it was actually fire and spreading that shit. Especially with how rabid the holomyth fans were to drop a ton of support on anyone who would even tangentially involve themselves with their music (see the metric shit-ton of rappers reacting to Calli's songs and the massive spikes in viewership for them, the Ame fox-on-box remix follow ups, etc.) folks that weren't even into anime suddenly knew who these vTubers were.

    One of the biggest reasons to their success is also just how well these girls were doing on their own beforehand. Cover picked already successful individuals and gave them a bigger platform.

      That might be true. However, there's one exception to that statement. That is Amelia, the one who's supposed to be the "leader" of the group. You see, when they debuted and I delve into their background life, I'm concerned about her. Why would Cover pick some no name alongside the other much more succesful one? Wouldn't they outshine her and put an unnecessary burden on her? Well, right now I must say that these are foolish thoughts. She act her part, and carve her place alongside her more succesful genmates. Whoever gave her the greenlight at Hololive and gave her backstory should really get a massive raise.

So not only did they find 5 talents who are so good they changed the internet forever. They did so while correctly taking into account western cultural differences. They didn't ask "what would Japanese people want to see" and then just do that in English. They asked "what does the world want to see" and became one of the few groups in history to get a correct answer.

    Part of their design that I always thought had to be intentional was their colors. Each girl has a primary color to represent her and it gives us the Power Rangers effect and allows for striking and memorable shots with each other, far more than most Vtuber groups which really do feel conjoined, with many of the girls not having a primary color and not meshing so well together. Part of that dynamic was crucial to Myth's impact.

    I was first introduced to Hololive EN and vtubers in general when I saw a video of two different streamers and how they treat their fan who has a terminal illness.
    The first streamer (I won't say her name because, ugh) began to insult her fan for wearing a wig because all of their hair went away due to chemo. She called her fan a loser for having cancer.
    And the other streamer is Takanashi Kiara. When a caring fan sent a super chat of another fan who was giving their last message because they were dying. And even though she is a virtual idol, I could see Kiara's raw emotion and concern for her fan. She didn't care if the chat was fake. She just made their fan happy for being caring and true to herself.

      Ahhh I remember that clip as well although at the time, I was already subbed to Tenchou but was just an occasional viewer. It really bumped her up as my oshi & I started watching more of her. I think what makes vtubers really special is that you can see the realest kindest people even behind these 2D avatars.
      Another one of my favorites for example is Ame when she talked about how losing someone close to her made her feel like she lost her purpose. But then said "I hope you carve out your own little happy place in the world. Everybody's success looks different. It may not look like mine or somebody else's but there's always something that'll make you happy." Until now, when I feel down, I just remember that or rewatch that clip. That clip from Ame and Kiara's "think of yourself as phoenix" with her always reminding that everybody deserves a chance and knowing what she's been through before Hololive, these motivate me to keep on living & doing my best. It may seem silly to some, hinging that much weight to virtual anime streamers who play games and make jokes but HoloMyth really helped me up when I was at my lowest, and even when they're gone, they'll always have a special place in my heart.

    It's been a long time since myth debut. I remember that I watched Vtubers before myth, but they are the ones who dragged me down the rabbit hole for sure. The reason I think they had such a huge success is the timing. Like, the girls a really talented, a lot, but they also had great timing when coming out. There was a great gap in EN Vtubers and people, being stuck in their houses, could binge any content they were given. So when myth arrived, everyone had time to watch them, and everyone realized how talented they all are. Tho I've never considered how their outfits matches so good with her personality, so maybe that also played some part in the success.

    What's really cool with Ame's achievement is that she can be an inspiration to others outside of Hololive.
    Like the VR content for example, Myth have their own 3D worlds funded and created by the makers of the map / models. That gives the girls more fun activity to do or experiment on stuff they like to try which they recently did earlier on their VR dance collab. That one went well!
    NijisanjiEN later followed this and created one as well thanks to Selen who I think is the one who funded the project. It's safe to assume that she got the idea from Ame (even though she never mention her) because of how her creative ideas in her content can influence people to follow along.

I remember the moment clearly as it was a clip of Gura singing "Song of the Ancients" that was just randomly suggested to me on UA-cam and since the remake game had just come out and decided to clip on it and was just stunned by how good her voice sounded. This one clip lead to further suggestions popping up in my feed which showed Gura to be a very goofy shark girl. This eventually lead me to watching her debut stream and then watching her react to her debut stream on her anniversary and THEN I started looking onto the other Holo EN girls but before that I started getting recommended clips from other Hololive girls. But the FINAL nail in my coffin came in the form of a clip featuring a cute doggo being told how to diffuse a bomb by a rapping grim reaper which in 34 seconds completely changed what sort of content I consume on a daily basis.

    I'm gonna be honest I expected nothing of HoloEN. In part for as you said the state of Twitch's female streamers, but on that part I was thinking you can be surprised. But the real reason I didn't expect anything is because of American dub version of anime and Japanese video games, even the one that people consider to be excellent. To my french ears they always sounded out of place comparing to their Japanese counterparts. I'm glad to say I was wrong. Not only did Cover found talented people with amazing voices, but they found people with excellent knowledge of the Internet and Japanese culture that love that culture just like their target audience.

      I think it comes down to the girls not trying to replicate Japanese anime character voices or be cutesy and just speaking like themselves. A lot of anime dubs are trying to copy a voice and speaking style (including like the actual script) that just doesn't work in English and end up sounding weird. Whereas good EN vtubers are using voices and playing characters that are suited for the language they're speaking instead of trying to copy an archetype that only works in Japanese. One of the only EN anime dubs I like better than the original is Black Lagoon because its the opposite almost, the Japanese dub was trying to portray a certain western character archetype that just doesn't work well in Japanese, while the English dub team understood what the characters would actually speak like and scripted it appropriately.

      This is very true for a variety of dubs. It's a problem in two ways. One, casting of Anime is shit. it's a very insular industry and unfortunately the JP side of the anime industry doesn't do enough to take control of the EN dubs and translators leading to bad representations of their work. There's also the aspect of the dubs having to fit what they say into the mouth movements of Japanese speaking characters.

      How are you supposed to find quality VAs when the industry doesn't produce any?

    When EN debuted, I cringed really hard on Calli debut and ignored all of them for a few days but then started to watch mainly Watson, who in my opinion found the best balance between the persona and person which later all of them came up too.

    I think you've touched on this topic here and there but I'd love to see a video about the progression of Hololive Vtubers (and Vtubers in general) as they have become more popular. I'm fairly new to the world of Vtubers but even from my limited experience I can see the leaps and bounds being seen in character modeling, rigging, audio/video/production quality, and most importantly the skill of the Vtubers themselves. Just using Hololive as an example, it feels like the skill level of their Vtubers is getting higher and higher over time. Both Holo EN 1st and 2nd gen are filled with individuals who speak multiple languages and who have various other skills that make them multi-talented in ways that you just didn't see with early Hololive. At first I thought this was just an EN thing as Nijisanji EN seemed to also have many of these traits but then Gen 6 HoloX debuted and I was absolutely STUNNED. It's filled with unique characters with fantastic designs that also are carving out their own path but unlike every other JP generation they pretty much IMMEDIATELY started interacting directly with the EN girls with all of HoloX seemingly being able to speak at least some English and being WILLING to do so to further interactions. Maybe this is due to them being kouhais who seemingly have no fear in interacting with their seniors but I honestly haven't seen such immediately interplay between branches since Holo ID. Hell, Iroha even collab'd with Sora-san who you rarely see in collaborations aside from the official ones with her stating that she's not opposed to collabs but she doesn't actively seek them out as there's always this pedestal that most of the others put her on and it seemingly makes her a little uncomfortable.

I know a couple of him them have been suffering from some impostor syndrome over their explosive success, but I'm going to say they all 100% deserve it all.
    I see a lot of people being mad that every new Hololive generation has over 100k subs before they even debut, but they fail to realize a few things: first of all, if they suck, then it doesn't matter if they have 100k at their debut, people won't stick around. And as has been mentioned several times too, these girls were already successful, or at the very least, had proved enough that they were worth the investment.

    Hololive EN branch also saved Cover from their demise in Chinese market, completely getting out from Chinese influence by having three times the revenue of Holo CN in their entire career and that reached just in 3 months

    • @wisdumcube
      @wisdumcube 2 роки тому +18

      I think this is often overlooked. China used to be big, established market for Hololive before the CN drama. Even though the CN branch itself wasn't doing well, Hololive JP was popular in China, especially Fubuki and Aqua. After all, Fubuki hit her first 1 million milestone in bilibili the summer of 2020, well before her 1mil milestone on youtube. They also had decently large sponsorships from games like Azur Lane. And I think one of Aqua's first solo lives was a bilibili collab and she also had unreleased music that was part of a promotion for a Chinese game company (can't remember which) that leaked when the drama was going down, and one of Aqua's appearances in one of her colleagues' (in Nijisanji maybe?) concert was canceled. The loss of potential revenue and opportunities was probably significant (at the time at least). But I guess its a moot point now that the Chinese government has clamped down so hard on the vtuber industry and gaming in general. So in a way Yagoo was ahead of the curve, though its a shame they can't play games like Genshin Impact.
      Another thing some old fans forget and newer fans don't know is that a lot of Chinese Hololive memes were spread and translated into English and posted on youtube, and was a big part in the early spread of Hololive content among the English speaking sphere while the english vtuber scene was in its infancy. People might try to downplay the influence or value of the Chinese market in early Hololive's success but that just goes to show you how monumentally successful and impactful Hololive Myth was. It overtook the conversation. It eventually lead Nijisanji to completely change focus, to point that they've effectively ended one branch and put two other branches on life support in pursuit to get a piece of what Hololive has/had (to good success recently since they finally outmaneuvered Cover in terms of male talent). Holo EN really changed the game.
      There is a non-zero chance that Cover wouldn't have weathered the China storm if Myth didn't explode on debut. Not only did Hololive EN multiply the English V-tuber audience, they ironically brought in more JP fans to Hololive who I think were fascinated by Western "idol" talent hand-picked by a Japanese company (not just the fact that they were english Vtubers), which is a relatively unexplored niche. This all combined to eclipsed the bilibili audience. And I have no exact proof of this, but I speculate that a lot of those new JP fans got absorbed into the rest of the Hololive ecosystem and started watching the JP talents, considering how HoloJP had exponential growth leading into 2021, while Nijisanji's JP branch had modest growth in that time.

      @@Suzushiirou Coco and Haato are practically off the ballpark types of talents since they focus on experimenting aspects, which unfortunately has the side effect of the CN incident. Amelia Watson is likely the one to represent the R&D of the EN branch due to influence of drawing in creative talents with her own means of developing the 3D environment with company approval. The Walfie models are a nice touch to note out how talents are proven before they ended up in larger projects.

    The point about them all having different talents and filling different niches is one Ive been saying for a long time. Ita such an important part in my mind.
    Calli, leading the charge with her rap skills - until that moment, an idol rapper was an oxymoron, you could say.
    She immediately set the scene that Holomyth wasnt the same thing as HoloJP or HoloID. They were a different breed.
    Then came Kiara (oshi). And its such a stroke of genius that she came after Calli. Because Kiara showed that while HoloEN were different, the things which vtuber fans loved could still be found in them. Here came a Hololive fangirl, who could speak Japanese, and had a good understanding of what the scene was like and what people loved. She was my oshi since debut and has stayed that way.
    Then came Ina. Again, different vibe altogether. Here came a chill anime geek, pulling out references like Jugemu Jugemu, and giggling while showing off her god tier art.
    Next came Gura, the meme lord. A lot of yhe connection overseas fans had with Hololive before was through memes. And here came a master. Cute, amazing singing voice, and a talent for making clippable moments, her growth should really have been expected!
    And finally, Ame. Faking a British accent, "next slide please". Another geek, who left a steong impression this time through her creative usage of the technology available to her - something she would be come to be known for.
    Each of them having different strengths that didnt overshadow the others.
    Truly, an amazing selection of people.

    I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on Council in comparison to Myth.

In fact, I think they enhance Myth.

    Something not mentioned in this video (I think) is how well HoloMyth synergize with each other. Particularly TakaMori (especially early) and AmeSame. Shipping & fanart/fics have always been part of fandoms. While individually they’re amazing, together they are more than the sum of their parts.
    Plus how they embrace their biggest fans, audiences, and communities more broadly like the recent Holo x Omocat fashion contest contributes to virtuous cycles of more success.
