It's not surprising since a lot of former Nijisanji vtubers kinda felt the same way. I get the feeling the company destroys their talents self-esteem by telling them "You're only popular because of us! No one will care about you when you leave!" Which makes them hesitant to quit out of fear that they won't succeed as an indie.
The wings were made of cardboard, the clouds were made of asbestos, and the ambrosia tasted like tar. That heaven was about as heavenly as the "heaven" in Eviternity.
I think everyone would have ruled her out as a suspect because she did several collabs with Selen. I think she was Selen's light to put up with all the Niji shit she was going through
Her leaving so suddenly when everything seemed to be going okay for her did raise a few eye brows and add more to the growing speculation that something was rotten under the surface.
@@zaleostThen once they fired Selen (after they drove her to attempt suicide twice), the dam finally broke. Now they can barely go a few days without adding more bad stuff coming out further adding fuel to the fire. This is why their reputation is destroyed beyond any hope of repair here in the Western VTuber sphere.
I remember a while back Pomu said that her and Selen would sometimes get on long calls to vent with one another. At the time I had thought it was usual job vents but now I wonder. Even if it isn't public, I hope they are on good terms because their friendship was special and they seemed to have a lot of fun with one another. They even went as far as having matching outfits with a whole story arc and game
Funny enough, the forst stream I ever found of Mint was her graduation stream. I even correctly identified Pomu as "that one Ghost lady I watched that one time," but ceased any further investigation. I know much forbidden knowledge, but never have I sought it.
She really does have a touching story. She was actually the first VTuber I ever saw live as opposed to just clips. Her energy, personality, and the fact that she’s huge weeb make her relatable, charming, and fun to watch. Whether she was streaming as Maid Mint or Pomu Rainpuff, that charm and charisma has always naturally drawn people to her. Whether she’s geeking out over Metal Gear, singing, playing games or just chatting, it’s always a fun time when watching her streams. I’m glad to see her triumphant return to streaming, as are many others.
Yes I know i griefed the "Akiberse" pronunciaiton. Some could say it's on brand. Also we had a mixed up the gigachad ter and the diamond tier featured in the Members list and I apologize about this mistake! Will do my best so this doesn't happen again. Hope you guys can enjoy the video nonetheless 🧚♂👻
That was a well documented report on Mint/Pomu, Rima🥇You didn't dwell on the the allegations of why she graduated but it was a "foxy" move hinting one of the videos that gave her HUGE emotional damage as well as pushing her to leave.😇
There are quite a few things where I am like: You know that's not the right pronunciation, however: 1. In the end we can still understand you just fine, and 2. It's cute and adds personality to the video So it's all fine, and please don't change ^_^
Mint is the personification of what makes Vtubers so great. She's determined to live her best life and encourage others to do the same. Mint is the main character
16:43 OMG that Matara pic is so something Pomu/Maid Mint would do for her favorite frenemy ROFL!! I'm so happy that she's enjoying her time and happy as well.
Technically speaking; she was part of the sh*t that went down. If it weren't for all the sh*t; she wouldn't have needed to leave in the first place. She just left before all of it became public and her story contributed to the evidence of magnitude of the sh*t.
She is one of the most important and influencial Vtubers in the whole Western sphere. The fact that she thought she wouldn't make it as an Indie makes me kind of pissed at the environmnt she was in that would make her feel like that. Sayu was always right, about everything.
And it took until February 12th (day of the infamous black screen stream of them slandering Doki) for most people to realize that Sayu was right all this time.
If you need one word to describe Mint, that word is _initiative._ She has a tornado of ideas inside that big noggin of hers and does her best to execute them start to end, all in the name of fun and enjoyment. It's a shame she spent years in the heaven of false angels, and it took a toll on her mental state that she still isn't done dealing with. But now she is a free indie again and a very successful one, with essentially full retention of her Pomudachis, and the window of opportunities open to her wouldn't fit on the wall of a military hangar! 🥰
It's such a shame Niji (at least EN) seems to only want to grind up livers and spit them back out once their spark is gone. I've watched vtubers since Myth debuted, but NijiEN at their peak has been the most fun I've had with vtubers. But now I have to wonder if the magic was ever really there.
@@ProGentlemanThe blatant favoritism at Niji knows no bounds. While a lot of the guys can get away with whatever they do, most of the girls can’t get away with *anything* .
It’s been so sweet to see Mint’s renewed drive after Nijisanji. To be honest, I actually didn’t know anything about her until she collabed with Dokibird on Wrestletuber (who I actually started supporting after hearing about her heartbreaking situation with Nijisanji) and didn’t realize she used to be Pomu Rainpuff (who I had seen some clips, but never watched her livestreams). She’s such a sweetheart and I’ve adored her collabs with Doki, Matara and the rest of the VShojo girls. It seems like a lot of these former NijiEN girls are thriving since departing that crap company.
She met her Kami Oshi?!!! How did they manage to get Henya out of her house/get her to allow someone to come by? 😹(I know,I know...despite the jokes and Memes she goes to the gym, goes for walks, goes to the store,goes to her Moms house and does have friends she hangs out with that she prefers not to discus in detail, meeting Mint probably was a Not our business story for Henya)
@@Guaseth They probably DM'd each other on Twitter. A lot of friends once they are friends start DM'ing each other. Henya plays the shy girl, but she is now so much more outgoing and has turned into a righteous gremlin, and she has fun being just a little unhinged at times. I don't doubt her popularity both on UA-cam ad Twitch has grown immensely, and she's the only VTuber I know that has so many other VTubers call her their Kami-Oshi, or Oshii at the very least. And I mean big Vtubers. I would love to see a collab where Henya and Calli and Mouse do that Lethal company collab but Calli invites Marine because Mousey has her as an Oshii, and Suisei is there, nbecause of Call, and then they meet Mousey and Henya. I think that would be a fire collab as we'll Mousey acting all timid around Marine. To spice things up they add Zentreya and Pekora to be the war criminals they are.
I have to say, and despite out there existing other vtubers i liked more then Pomu, she is the only one where, her design voice and behavior felt crafted to perfection. Never i seen those 3 attributes fit so well a vtuber, i think its a shame we "lost", but its still nice to know that, her return to Mint is was a good one still keeping all that wonderful energy ^^
I consequencely 1st time watched her during her Maid Mint indie graduation stream out of curiosity, then finally realized this fact after her graduation from Kuro-sanji.
Much like Henya, I'm not yet acclimated to Mint's new incarnation; it's very hard to dissociate the voice from the old model. It will grow on me in time, much like the Irys 1.0 model. Usually I'm ironclad in my opposition to a vtuber resurrecting themselves, but the horrendous conditions of her old situation + being an indie has allowed the community to rally behind her choice, and it is one I can get behind in full. We all deserve a moment of genuine grace in our lives; this is Mint's moment of grace, one she has truly earned. I'm glad she's in a better place and surrounded by more positive influences. A small tangent: back in October 2021, when Fauna was doing her Amogus collab with EN, she had a little diatribe about a ghost maid and mentioned how that would be a cute concept. Now that I remember that story, I wonder if she was aware of Mint in some capacity, or if it was mere coincidence.
Unlike most Vtuber reincarnations, I feel like Mint is pretty close to Pomu, obviously getting back into things. Although she has way more fun on streams I think, stuff like the Metal Gear Pachislot stream was cool
She really reminded me of Nanashi Mumei from Hololive with her lore and characters. Great vtuber. But the fangirl obsessiveness of Ollie in a wholesome way. I didn't know most of this. So thank you.
Great job Rima! I'm happy to see Mint's positivity being the focus of her career also being the focal point of the video. This legitimately made me smile.
honestly it just shows that niji mostly holds people back, except for the few favorites that they really pour support into. but everyone else at niji gets screwed.
thank you rimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. so glad shes back (i knew shes coming back the moment she had her first twitter space and told us "i just want to talk, dont read too much into it" 😀)
Very well put together! As someone kinda in the know each step of the way, this feels a lot more recap than previous videos, but thats the reality of if you know the whole thing and timeline. What that does mean to me though, is that if this is considered dramatubing, im Napoleon Bonaparte at peak revolution. Cheers for a little enjoyment in my day Rima
I didn't watch her much when she was pomu just because youtube streams aren't my thing, but i liked all the clips I've seen from her. Her journey i didn't know was inspiring and interesting and i really hope she sticks around. When she left niji i was so sure she would join vshojo, but of course it was only my prediction. I'm really glad she came back and the support she received from her friends is amazing. Thanks for this video ☺️♥️
I used to love all the Pomu and Elira streams, they were so fun and comfy together. I was devastated to hear what a heartless monster Elira turned out to be, behind the scenes.
She ascended to a once calm land called Nijisanji, then she escaped the hell of Kurosanji and returned to the ghostly maid, to be visited commonly by a motherly fo- I mean roach to take her underneath her tai- oh I mean her many arms, a ghost had resurrected and so did her passion, broken but not forgotten by her fans
I swear whenever Rima does positive videos I never get notifications on UA-cam lol 😂 Oh well glad I decided to check if she posted a new video anyways! Love Mint 💚
This was another awesome video by Rima. I remembered watching Kiara's and Pomu's collab stream back in the day when Mint was Pomu, and I am happy that she is back in indie. I thought that she would join VShojo and then we would have four Ex-Niji talent in the agency, but I think she will be just fine as Indie. I wish her full of happiness in her new chapter of Vtuber and content creation.
I had never watched pomu or matara's PL before and i only watched a few of matara's streams but I've been having so much fun with their podcast mintara mondays, please give it a shot if you want to watch people yapping about things they like
The absolute fumble Niji made with Mint can not be overstated. No pun intended they ripped out their own soul for Niji EN letting her feel she needs to graduate. Then one month later they ripped out their own heart doing what they did to Doki.
*Kurosanji needs to stop telling their talents that they are not marketable. It's completely the other way arround, where Kurosanji wouldn't be able to do anything without people like Pomu opening the doors to the western audience.* *Pomu* was working hard, coming up with amazing crazy projects, like Luzalight in Space or Luzalight in antarctica. Trying to utilize all her resources she had, like her 3D model, to record amazing 3D concerts for her Pomudachi. Only for stuff to be denied by management. It saddens me to think that all her hard work in Niji was basically for nothing, cause she was surprised with how the houhais turned out to be, how Pomu got denied a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without any kind of communication, and specially now since the bridge she build between NijiEN and the western audience is burning down. This next one thing is speculation, cause I have no proof, but I think the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was the MGS series collab that eventually went to Calli. Now I love Calli and she did an amazing job with the collab, but it's sad that Pomu didn't even get the opportunity to do it, as Niji denied it for her and if someone loves MGS I know it would had been Pomu. It's crazy that *Minto* wanted to settle with just a supermarket job. Mint truely thought that we didn't want her back, only because Kurosanji told her that she wouldn't be marketable without Kurosanji. It's such a messed up thing to tell your talents "that they would be nothing without the company, a company that doesn't do anything for her anyway". I'm glad that *Dearsqn* has friends like Keekhime and Matara that didn't give up on her. Keekhime asking Dearsqn to try again and inviting her to projects like dance performances. Mata would also be there for her, asking Pomu to come on vacation with her and eventually Mata asked Mint into the Podcast collabs, re-igninting her passion for performing and streaming, Mata using her time and her funding at Vshojo help Mint update her Mint Fantome model and to bring out collab merch with Mint. And even after that Mint asked herself: "Is this it? Is this the final stage of her, to re-debut as an indie." Her answer: "She doesn't know." My personal take on this? I was devastated by the time it was Pomu's graduation. I was already upset by the many NijiEN and ID members that already left like Mika, Xia, Mysta and Nina, also another called Erika from another agency Vreverie. So losing Pomu as well while I was watching her a lot as one of her Pomudachi, it did really hurt. But seeing her Dearsqn messages of her reacting to people pleading to her to try again and dearsqn just didn't know, because she was told that she wouldn't be any good, made me realise that I was not the one that was hurting the most, SHE was hurt the most out all of us Pomus. So when I saw action on her Mint maid account, I did rally as many of the Pomudachi together as I could to go to her new channel, even collectively with everyone reaching 100k on Mint maid before her re-debut. I'm good now. Specially when seeing Mint happy again (as well as many of the other ex-Niji that are doing good). Mint finally got the playbutton she really deserves, as well recently that she was able to reconnect to her friend that she missed dearly. I'm glad that they are able to collab once more and smile about stupid stuff, as they laugh about the wrestling matches or share a braincell at Hospital 666. I love Minto.
Funny that talents from other V-Tuber agencies usually end up being the ones helping or supporting those that leave Kurosanji IRL. That's just sad when people from other agencies help them more than the people they actually spent more time even if it's just at work.
I hope she gets to collab with her old friends. She kinda did whn playing with the Vshojo gals (Henya and Matara, specially the last one), but I wanna see her with the birds, that would make it full circle

Craziest thing to me is that she deadass was looking for a job in a supermarket because she didn’t think anyone would want her back
She's like that awkward but cute shy guy in class who thinks none of the girls like him, but secretly they all simp on him.
Girl really thought thousands of people didn't miss her silly streams. She's delulu fr.
Niji has a tendency of breaking their talent's self esteem. Unsurprising she'd feel that way.
I was so sad when I thought about how little she thinks of herself and how crucial she have been for her fans.
It's not surprising since a lot of former Nijisanji vtubers kinda felt the same way. I get the feeling the company destroys their talents self-esteem by telling them "You're only popular because of us! No one will care about you when you leave!"

Died of Metal Gear brainrot and returned from outer heaven for another round
She got out of heaven, now she is in outer heaven.
@@julioso9339*established her Outer Heaven.
Kept us waiting, huh?
The wings they gave her in "heaven" were made of cardboard. She really couldn't come up with a more appropriate metaphor.
*cardboard
@@Vergil.bin.Sparda fixed
The wings were made of cardboard, the clouds were made of asbestos, and the ambrosia tasted like tar. That heaven was about as heavenly as the "heaven" in Eviternity.
Now we wait for 3D Minto.....
Oooh thats Hype
Someone made a really detailed Pomu maid model that you can still download for free and 3D print. What would it take for us to crowdfund a new one?
3D model is a tube of mint flavored toothpaste
for sure, I wanna look those moles in 3d 🤤
She's gonna keep us waiting, huh?
Man im glad she left just before everything transpired with niji
I think everyone would have ruled her out as a suspect because she did several collabs with Selen. I think she was Selen's light to put up with all the Niji shit she was going through
@@darknebulas1167 She's def the glue that held the pieces together. Once she's gone, all of it fell apart.

That was a well documented report on Mint/Pomu, Rima🥇You didn't dwell on the the allegations of why she graduated but it was a "foxy" move hinting one of the videos that gave her HUGE emotional damage as well as pushing her to leave.😇
There are quite a few things where I am like: You know that's not the right pronunciation, however:
1. In the end we can still understand you just fine, and
2. It's cute and adds personality to the video
So it's all fine, and please don't change ^_^
when I saw the comment I was like "how could they possibly butcher it" and then you drop "Aki-bar-say"
Kiara saying "that now she's a ghost" feels like her friend died just to visit her. xD
Let’s not to forget to thank fo…X I mean roach mom for being there for her. To guide her back to the light she really does seem genuinely happy 💚🙏🏽
Mint went to heaven, then found out it was full of demons, and fell back to earth
Mint is the personification of what makes Vtubers so great. She's determined to live her best life and encourage others to do the same. Mint is the main character
I like how her theme colour never changed even when she debuted in NJ😊
Just with a bit more yellow. Now that she's back to white, I guess the gold got tarnished.
@@DinnerForkTongueNah, she's just upgraded to white gold.

Its really telling that she thought nobody would care about her after leaving kurosanji.
They really gave them fucking imposter syndrome.
Jesus Christ... even the ppl that saved Mint and brought her desire to come back to streaming, were mostly ppl from hololive and Matara ...
Just started watching her and love her positive vibes she has
she's great!
She's always been like this. She may not be in heaven, but she is a gift from the heavens.
from someone who only recently changed upon her from Matara streams, this is a really great video essay and introduced me to great lore!
I'm not the only one that thinks Pomu left on a high note, and yet still soaring even higher after leaving "heaven", right?

I remembered watching Kiara's and Pomu's collab stream back in the day when Mint was Pomu, and I am happy that she is back in indie. I thought that she would join VShojo and then we would have four Ex-Niji talent in the agency, but I think she will be just fine as Indie. I wish her full of happiness in her new chapter of Vtuber and content creation.
Pomu and Selen Collabs were
This is a great video Rima, Thank you
Another Rima Evenstar banger.
Looking forward to it.
thank youuu!
Rima struggling to pronounce some words is so adorable
5:25 feels like forshadowing💀
I had never watched pomu or matara's PL before and i only watched a few of matara's streams but I've been having so much fun with their podcast mintara mondays, please give it a shot if you want to watch people yapping about things they like
Nicely done. Rest easy. Get well soon.
Thank you, I will
Shes so dam wholesome!
It hurts!
Honestly my goat.
Rima got the giggle physics
2:57 well... that aged like room temperature milk.
No it aged well. As she did join them.
we missed Mint
we are happy she is back hell yeah!!
OMFG I'm in the video at 17:44.
congrats
You’re famous
It's the BOSS!
The absolute fumble Niji made with Mint can not be overstated. No pun intended they ripped out their own soul for Niji EN letting her feel she needs to graduate. Then one month later they ripped out their own heart doing what they did to Doki.
BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
Wow. That's a big Christmas present from Matara.
Great story of one of the greatest idols around today, even if she is an MGS gremlin. And thinks she can't sing sometimes :p ❤❤❤❤
*Kurosanji needs to stop telling their talents that they are not marketable. It's completely the other way arround, where Kurosanji wouldn't be able to do anything without people like Pomu opening the doors to the western audience.*
*Pomu* was working hard, coming up with amazing crazy projects, like Luzalight in Space or Luzalight in antarctica. Trying to utilize all her resources she had, like her 3D model, to record amazing 3D concerts for her Pomudachi. Only for stuff to be denied by management.
It saddens me to think that all her hard work in Niji was basically for nothing, cause she was surprised with how the houhais turned out to be, how Pomu got denied a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without any kind of communication, and specially now since the bridge she build between NijiEN and the western audience is burning down.
This next one thing is speculation, cause I have no proof, but I think the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was the MGS series collab that eventually went to Calli. Now I love Calli and she did an amazing job with the collab, but it's sad that Pomu didn't even get the opportunity to do it, as Niji denied it for her and if someone loves MGS I know it would had been Pomu.
It's crazy that *Minto* wanted to settle with just a supermarket job. Mint truely thought that we didn't want her back, only because Kurosanji told her that she wouldn't be marketable without Kurosanji. It's such a messed up thing to tell your talents "that they would be nothing without the company, a company that doesn't do anything for her anyway".
I'm glad that *Dearsqn* has friends like Keekhime and Matara that didn't give up on her. Keekhime asking Dearsqn to try again and inviting her to projects like dance performances. Mata would also be there for her, asking Pomu to come on vacation with her and eventually Mata asked Mint into the Podcast collabs, re-igninting her passion for performing and streaming, Mata using her time and her funding at Vshojo help Mint update her Mint Fantome model and to bring out collab merch with Mint. And even after that Mint asked herself: "Is this it? Is this the final stage of her, to re-debut as an indie." Her answer: "She doesn't know."
My personal take on this? I was devastated by the time it was Pomu's graduation. I was already upset by the many NijiEN and ID members that already left like Mika, Xia, Mysta and Nina, also another called Erika from another agency Vreverie. So losing Pomu as well while I was watching her a lot as one of her Pomudachi, it did really hurt.
But seeing her Dearsqn messages of her reacting to people pleading to her to try again and dearsqn just didn't know, because she was told that she wouldn't be any good, made me realise that I was not the one that was hurting the most, SHE was hurt the most out all of us Pomus.
So when I saw action on her Mint maid account, I did rally as many of the Pomudachi together as I could to go to her new channel, even collectively with everyone reaching 100k on Mint maid before her re-debut.
I'm good now. Specially when seeing Mint happy again (as well as many of the other ex-Niji that are doing good). Mint finally got the playbutton she really deserves, as well recently that she was able to reconnect to her friend that she missed dearly. I'm glad that they are able to collab once more and smile about stupid stuff, as they laugh about the wrestling matches or share a braincell at Hospital 666.
I love Minto.
Can't wait for the video on Ryuusei Nova. That one's going to be... interesting 👀
"Making the mother of all phantoms here, Nijisanji. Can't fret over every ghost!"
omg I never knew maid mint was Pomie I was looking for her other acc everywhere
This is gonna be great.👍
😁
She was always really cool back when she was Pomu. I'm happy she is doing fine after dealing with Kurosanji.
I genuinely love her and am so proud of her.
It's good to have another success story for those escaping NijiEN. My guess is Michi is next, as I don't know much about her history.
Damn I didn’t know she graduated on my birthday
Thanks for the video!
We love freak fantome even though she hates us
Funny that talents from other V-Tuber agencies usually end up being the ones helping or supporting those that leave Kurosanji IRL. That's just sad when people from other agencies help them more than the people they actually spent more time even if it's just at work.
1:50 Wait what?! I wish I were there then...
the bloopers LMAO
Editor did me dirty
🐴💢💢💢
I hope she gets to collab with her old friends. She kinda did whn playing with the Vshojo gals (Henya and Matara, specially the last one), but I wanna see her with the birds, that would make it full circle
good end
At least we can say thx to nijisanji to open talents like Mint, Matara, Doki, Kuro, Michi, Sayu known to a bigger auditory
Kinda crazy how every1 leaving that dogshit company comes back way stronger then they ever could be while there
9:58 omg so Gigi was not the first one
Welcome home boss
Rima always with the banger videos
Vas como avión Rimma! 💕💕
