Calli's 9 hour Jump King endurance stream practically turned into an Anime podcast featuring irys and bae. Really entertaining to listen to. At one point, they were so into talking about their favorite VA that they completely forgot about Calli's progress.

Durante Yup, that Ina VR stream was totally comfy and fun. As expected of Ina and yes she did show her more girly side there too and she's looking forward to more VR streams now she's practised with the tools for a while.

The other stream that was a stupid amount of fun and i recommend the Anime fan among us watch or more like listen to is the section of Calli's "Jump King Endurance Stream" where IRys and Bae joined her. It was two hours of them discussing Anime and VAs and chat was virtually unanimous in saying they could listen to these three chatting about Anime and Manga for hours and what are the chances of a podcast type show. Calli did not rule it out.

The stream was great but the segment towards the end with those three chatting got me through the last few hours of work yesterday.

EdwardTivrusky we must be on the same wavelength today lol. look what i just linked :D

But yeah, another Holo EN stream that i really liked was the TTRPG session that had technical difficulties. That too became a podcast like session of friends just chatting about randm topics and I wish there was more of it.

Phase Connect and a bunch of other VTubers like Obake PAM are having a 10 people "Prop and Seek" collab at the moment as part 1 of a 2 part event and it's a good laugh. I'm watching Mii-chan's stream.



So far Prop and Seek seems to be a smaller but more stable and easier to use version of "Prop Hunt" the GMod mod which is great but always plagued with issues when i've watched it. If they can keep up the content releases and the stability i can see it picking up and being used a lot for big collabs especially over the holidays.

I've been oddly captivated by Anya's streams of Gnosia for the last few weeks and the final stream should be next week as she didn't manage to wrap up the last couple of events today so she'll be looking for the final two events and going for the ending and maybe going for an alternative ending too.

The game itself interested me but i thought i'd be bad at it so idecided to watch her playthroughs and yeah, i'd be hot trash at this game but it's interesting listening to her thoughts and seeing the game unfold as she plays more and more "loops". The game is split into 15-20 minute segments or "loops" which represent a week. It starts off simple enough you must find the murderous imposters in the crew of a drifting spaceship, or be a murderous imposter yourself and gradually it adds more crew and conditions as it moves along and exposes more of the story and events.

For anyone that missed the recent epic Kronii x Fauna villain arc in Minecraft, someome conveniently made a one hour supercut of all POVs. I just love how Ina is doing her own thing and following the drama with popcorn. lol. This is one of the most entertaing EN Minecraft sessions since the new gen debuted.

Yeah she didn't even last 5minutes, it was pretty funny because she got distracted by OBS lagging.

Pika just did a Q&A with new members. Ryugon said he used to be able to swim 3km, didn't expect him to be athletic but he did say he has a huge appetite, don't know if he's currently active since he has a day job. It seems the two new members are pretty "normal" so I like them, might bring some balance to VOMS.

Ryugon also wants to do insects eating stream.

Pina and Tenma Maemi (Mii-chan or Tenma) Overcooked 2 Collab just sooo good.
Posting both streams because they both thoroughly deserve views and subscribers and everything.

Pina Stream

Mii-chan Stream

Mii-chan finished Bastion in one 6 hour session the other day and it was amazing to watch.

I'll miss the free 30 mins as i'm in a meeting every morning between 09:30 to about 10:30-11ish. I might pick up an archive ticket later though if i still have the money.

I've just used Buyee for the first time to buy the PRISM Project Halloween Tapestry. Let's see how that goes.
If it all goes well then that's another wallet decimator i've discovered and one of the last hurdles to me buying stuff from Japan online.
Waaaaaaaah!


On a happier note the HoloID Costume Reveals have started and "Witch" Risu is amazing.
Here's the link to the "New Costume Showcase" for those that missed them.

edit: found links via hololive Schedules, yay. No Iofi yet.
Risu

Moona


This makes so much sense, lol. Ego from Mom, gameplay shitposting and shenanigans from Dad.


Pikamee has just lost her shit after chat helped her get the Complimentary Shaders working in Minecraft.

Suisei's new track from last night was pretty good.



I didn't end up watching the full concert, just the free section. I heard there were some technical difficulties with SPWN so maybe it's for the best.

Gura has just hit 3,5m subscribers. Thats over double every other hololive member. (More than Calli + Pekora combined).
I like to think her fanbase has a big division with half of them loving the rabbit and the other half prefering the reapear.

Wow, Gura, good work. When Gura is in her stride she's a beast, i really enjoy her streams and recently she's been entertaining the hell out of me and collabing with HoloCouncil and HoloJP have been great. Have to say though that all of the VTubers i watch have been putting out great content in the last week or so. I'm loving it.

Awww, gotta feel for Suisei, hopefully the SPWN issues didn't impact the archive and people can watch it without issues.

Ryugon was a guest in kson's stream today!! (I missed it, I was asleep). She also mentioned Pika and said she considered them friends even if they haven't interacted before. Good job Ryugon! Go VOMS!



Pikamee has just lost her shit after chat helped her get the Complimentary Shaders working in Minecraft.
I wonder if she could've toned down shadow map res/shadow distance or other sliders instead of turning real time shadows off completely, but turning it off works and I couldn't tell the difference.

Also Pika sounds like the person that want to keep things maxed out instead of turning things down lol, it took a while for chat to make her look through graphical settings.

Can't find an image yet but Moona's new casual outfit is amazing. Short hair, casual Moona in a blazer with glasses.
Oh lordy, i've just seen the full body reveal and that t-shirt is gonna cause a kerfuffle and few nosebleeds for sure.

She moved to the collab stream as youtube went pear shaped in her initial stream.


Square and Hololive seem to have a good relationship - Korone, Fubuki, Subaru and GOTG Collab



Heh, was waiting for this one for years. Well done.


Also, i said it before but it might be getting closer to happening ( in a grasping at straws way ) but a Kiara & Pomu wotegi/mix stream where they just fangirl about being mega-fans, concerts, etc would be entertaining as hell.
Pomu had a shower stream and Kiara tweeted asking if she could join and yesterday during Kiara's Warioware stream she started to sing "Diamond City Lights" and a few of us picked up on it. If they can't do it directly because Holo/Nini then get one of the PRISM Project girls, like Pina, to host a show and have Pomu/Kiara on it! Do it!

Random stuff, that caught my eye.

Petra of NijiEN is having a free chat about Otome games which might interest some of you.


Selen playing FEAR has been a great watch.


Mii-chan ( Tenma Maemi of Phase Connect ) has Part 2 of the Big Collab session in Prop and Seek with a new bunch of VTubers in a hour.
(Haruna Swift, Mavia, LilyBelle, Ashelia Rinkou, Rin, Utano Pandora, Juliet Winters & Emi Niwatori - oh and Obake PAM has joined again, yay!)

Part 1 was great so hopefully this will be good fun too. I'l probably catch the VOD because...


PRISM Project have a new cover premiere tonight and an after party with a bit of chat and collab games.

I'll catch some of that but then i'm off to watch...


HOLOEN have a BEEEG Among Us collab with everyone.
Here's IRyS pov but they all have a stream apart from Sana who is playing but not streaming her POV.

Am I the only one unreasonably bothered by Anya's name having a superfluous line break in that picture breaking the entire symmetry? ... probably.

Anyway, looking forward to it!

Calli having a Collab Watchalong with Gura and Ina


Silvervale has a new Tokyo Tour with RobCDee VOD uploaded


Calli also has a collab with Kiara, Bae and Fauna before the watchalong.



PRISM Project premiere was fantastic, love the song.
Pina has been playing Resident Evil Remake and it's great seeing the progress she's made and how she's toughened up while playing it.
Phase Connect Tenma "Prop and Seek" VTuber collab was awesome. As usual Mii-chan was on form with some Pro-Gamer moves and jokes. She's great and always worth watching.

And as Durante said the HoloEN Among Us Full Collab was great. I watched Ame's POV and because they have the "Killer can hear the people they've killed" option turned on in the proximity mod Watson was being really annoying to whoever killed her, lol. It was great and i can't wait for Sana's return. It was good to see her.

Anya's final Gnosia stream was MUCH shorter than she expected as she got the events she needed really quickly. She's going to buy it on Steam and may revisit the game if there's any extra content. She really enjoyed the game and seemed genuinely disappointed that she finished it and there's a Gnosia sheped hole in her life now as she's not sure what to tackle next.

If you want a good laugh then watch Pomu's Akiba's Trip stream. There was an impromptu collab with Rosemi and Pomu did actually remember to play the game inbetween geeking out about all the places in Akiba she used to visit.

I'm now going to watch Finana play "Yuppie Psycho" and the last hour of her watching and offering moral support while Pomu plays Outlast 2.

There's now a great clip of the second round for anyone who wants to see it in a condensed form.

It tuned into that for a few minutes when it was live and yeah, you could tell how much Pomu was into the location.

I'm looking forward to Holo Sports Festival 2021.

I have fond memories of last years' festival. It's a highlight in otherwise an abysmal year. It was one of the rare occasions that I actually watched the entire event in full, which was more than 5 hours. I used Holodex too, switching between PoV was a trip. I guess my listening skill has improved since then (although not by much) but 8 different voices at once are still more than I could handle.

Fan Fun Island concert is scheduled for the following week too, so I guess I'm treating myself good for my birthday. :flare_bath:

Obviously there's not going to be an exclusive EN view but I'm hoping there will be more EN POV this time due to the larger number of EN speakers. I'm sure there will and i'm sure the clippers and subbers are getting ready for no sleep too!

I've also started to more seriously try to remember vocabulary and grammar and i'm picking out a lot more context these days. I'll never, ever be fluent but i'll be happy enough to be able to grasp what's going on. It helps that it's conversational japanese so it's not high-level discourse i'm trying to get a grasp of.

I'm also looking forward to seeing if the madlad who subbed 2h30 of highlights of the Sports Festival 2020 will do it again this year too.

In her stream last night, Miko said there will be 7 PoVs, one for each team plus one which I assume will be the announcer (which means A-chan, maybe?)
If I remember correctly, Miko herself is the seventh POV, as one of the organizers (I kind of assume it'll be joint commentary with Mio like last year).

I think you're right. Last year I mostly jumped around between PoVs so I didn't follow their commentary stream all that much. Although, I remember A-chan flying all over the place, and everyone referred to her as "kami". :flare_mogu:

Pikamee actually did really well in today's Portal stream, she's usually bad with puzzles in action games (probably because she's impatient), but portal really clicked with her, she got most of the solutions pretty quick, only thing slowed her down was when she missed some stuff in the environments. Her vibing with the ending song was great too:
