>>71164519
it would have been funny if all the EN girls living in Japan would have to move back into the US.

>>71164773
I don't even see why they would need to open a US branch if it's for the localizing the rest of these tards are thinking of. They already have a subtitles team and managers that work for cheap from SEA. No way they just ditch that and pay more money for new people in NA that demand more pay.

>>71164519

Expect collabs with Asmongold, Mr Beast and other e-celebs. And a Netflix "anime."

This is the end of vtubing as it existed. America will destroy it and it'll kill everything that made it special, because that's the only thing that'll happen. It's inevitable.

I wish someone had a collage of people posting the exact same fear mongering about woketards back when they announced main channel EN subs, holoEN, tempus and going public.

>>71167898
Tempus was only eliminated due to fan outrage. nuFans will all be genderspecial wokies and they'll utterly swamp everything.

>>71165035
Excuse me, the priority is for Kronii to be openly identified as "gender queer" on her mousepad, thank you very much.
>>71167891
Can we get a Boondocks collab with Miko at least? Or hire a Black Hebrew Israelite or Acorn-phobic gun nut from Florida?

>>71164519
Twin doggos moved to japan to dodge localization.

>>71167975
Tempus still exists and the collabs stopped because kronii and mori came crawling back to unicorns and started doing SC bait streams. Those two don't care about outrage, they care about money.

>>71168097
Yeah, I can't believe they were gonna fuck up the localization for the dub of their english streams

That's what people say about Sony too when they opened a branch in the US. There will be certain ideologically motivated people who will start working there thanks to connections and recommendations of their peers.

>>71164519
this mean more stateside holoevents?

You know we are right when mods delete a bunch of threads calling out this bad decision and leave the ones damage controlling.

Also everyone's forgetting that there will be youtube grifters, articles, clickbait and all the usual media circus once they catch wind of this. There will be complaints about this or that being "problematic" up the ass. Cover just doesn't realize that US media and grifters will demolish them. There will be paid hitpieces from old media if they feel threatened as well.

This just cannot end well. This is the end of vtubing.

>>71167898

I'm sure Americans will be highly receptive and understanding of that. They're known for their apolitical stances, not demanding companies and people to be political and "do the right thing" or be boycotted, protested against, blacklisted and so on and on.

>>71169122
Da fuck are you talking about

EN is really literally fucking done. If you still innocently belive Amerimutts will do nothing against Japan and Japanese contents you are just naive as fuck. They will 100% fix "problematic" Japanese ideas and contents and push their moral superiority. There are no American industry where this isn't happening.

>>71169945
I would have thought this dude would have left the VTuber sphere by now that the drama and quick cash has dried up. Kinda surprised he's still going.

>>71170165
The dude likes vtubers, nijisanji is constantly fucking up, and he's getting his own 2D model soon so he isn't going anywhere.
He even mentioned that the lack of representation for vtubers made him insanely interested in it.

>>71168628
>all the girls now ignore the homos
But they don't. You had literally no effect on anything.

>>71170031
Unironically Gura

if any of you retards actually saw the presentation, holoUSA is basically just for local collabs/events/PR, along with merch and some talent support.
most of you are acting like retarded monkeys thinking that cover will instantly go woke overnight. they're still have all their major decisions coming from the JP side.
i for one will happily accept lower shipping costs and maybe a bit more centralization in the EN branch to make collabs among the EN members a bit smoother.
not to mention, more exposure to the public and EN members appearing in events more.

>>71170269
The only EN that has homocollabed these past 6 months is Bae.

>>71169750
SIE is worth 30% of Sony. You aren't in the 2000s anymore fag, Sony cameras and movies aren't desired as much as back then

>>71170269
>But they don't
Even Mori "your boy" Calliope never collabs with them, and don't come with muh discord cope.

>>71168312
Sony Interactive Entertainment moved their fucking headquarters to San Francisco. What the hell did you expect?
Cover is opening what sounds like a distribution center.

What exactly are the benefits to this besides the potential for lower shipping costs? More focus on advertising in the US? But what exactly does that entail, are we gonna start seeing Hololive stuff publicly in cities like we see it in Japan? I don't really see that doing much, cause the people who are interested in vtubers/Hololive/etc are already exposed to it, there isin't some untapped market that is still waiting to be discovered in the US by a local team. I just think this is gonna cause more internal drama, even if the JP side still gets the last word and everything; I just can't see this as anything more than an opportunity for freaks to infiltrate the company

I will begin sending them questions about the behavior of the Japanese talents as soon as the US office opens and link them that clip where Marine talks about her coworker's kids.

It really depends where they house the office. See

"Colour" will be spelled "color".

>>71170329
You just said ALL THE GIRLS but now it's no longer all the girls. It was never anyone besides Bae, Kronii and Mori and the reason why Kronii stopped is obvious as the only homo she cared about is fucking gone.

>>71170392
Mori literally appeared at a homo 3D live 3 months ago.

>>71164519

Who said overnight? These processes happen slowly, like a cancer (because that's what they are)
>not to mention, more exposure to the public
Why do you want more casual normalfags with no respect or understanding of your hobby to know about your hobby?

So when are the girls gonna appear on a late night show where they get made fun of for being vtubers?

>>71170562
Bae x Bae first

>>71164519
what was he thinking? Majority of burgers only watch twitch and not youtube, and for those that do aren't even willing to SC or buy merch for their oshi.
collab merch and events of stars x hololive will be pushed by the local team because le idol culture bad.
woke consulting firms will gaslight cover into thinking that diversity, equality and inclusivity are they only way to stay out of trouble, soon holopride will be a thing.
Time to get off this sinking branch and into the more superior holoJP

>>71170409
According to their presentation, it's going to be helping with local events (stuff like Connect the World), sponsorships, and local sales (so probably helping with local shipping). No change in content.

>>71170495
Okay, will continue to not buy any merch then

>>71164519
>all these anti-white, gamer-hating pseudo-devs and localizers are going to work for cover now after they got fired from companies they had already ruined with their agenda and subsequently subvert idol culture

OK, but do they also have any plans to open a mocap studio in the States? You know, so individual talents wouldn't have to acquire and setup all the equipment themselves.

>>71170409
If they are doing it like Tsuburaya Production it's also for doing local events like stage shows and cons as well as sponsoring and collab with other brands.

>>71170889
If they want to work as warehouse merch pushers then be my guest

>>71170896
That would only make sense if all the EN talents lived in LA, and you absolutely know some twat is going to take the first opportunity to try doxing people going in and out of the office hoping they strike gold with a talent once even though they'll more likely than not be bothering the dude trying to set Ame up with a Gatorade sponsorship.

It's precisely people like you who will enable the destruction of Hololive with your retard American garbage nobody gives a shit about.

The point is this will inevitably open up Hololive to all sorts of American turds, be it outrage mobs, e-celebs, companies, everything. This will destroy everything good about vtubing and signals the death of an entire culture. Just like how America killed its media it'll kill vtubing and it'll happen in the exact same way. This move will turn Hololive into just another meaningless americanized slop with all the bullshit that comes with it. It means DEATH for everything that makes vtubing a living and valuable form of media. This is a selling out and killing of an entire industry.

That's what the doubters always say. The western branch of Japanese companies infecting them with wokeness is inevitable. It doesn't matter what the setup is, they will always exploit any influence they have to spread their ideology. It happened with Sony, it happened with Nintendo, it happened with Atlus, it happened with Capcom, it happens every single time without fail. The only way it could be worse is if they had set it up in Canada. That place makes California look right wing.

Don't worry anon, the ones calling the wary people crazy will be be jumping on the LE ESG BAD BANDWAGON soon enough. I knew about this shit years ago and they pulled the same card then. Anyway, if this is super limited in scope I can see them getting away without the pressure from the oytside inveystors but even still, I will have my guard up over this.

Keep calling people who are wary about this crazy, retard. I'm also not that anon but then again you'll just call me an insane person. Internet argumentation is just a race to see who can call someone else a buzzword or set up a deflection, like you just did.

The EN talents are going to have sex with the staff in this office. Especially if they come in regular contact during collabs and 3d

>>71181258
It always happens. Idk why these people even feel the need to push back when it happens consistently for every foreign branch HQed in Cali. Maybe it's just cause so of the posters here don't pay attention to vidya and anime news

>>71168312
this is not the same situation tho. sony is a conglomerate, meaning all of their divisions are "independent" companies that don't need constant supervision from their parent company. sony's SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment, which controls their entire video game production) is based on the US and they don't need the parent company's approval for everything, and that is how their wokeness started.

>>71168933
no. the difference is that cover isn't sending hololive to the US like sony sent playstation. they're opening a branch there to make some of their business in the country with less problems

>>71164519
I wonder if this will help the ENs get game perms easier or ignore it entirely

>>71169213
That's how most start, but american culture entails that everyone must have a strong political opinion, they don't even know about what, but they must fight for it. That's why extremists on both sides are so common. Workers from here will unironically start trying to make changes "for the better" or "to be less problematic".

This is going to be an office which is mostly responsible for event setup and merch distribution, that's pretty hard to "wokeify." It will also translate into an immediate impact on sales if they refuse to distribute merch because it hurts the environment or something retarded, which will lead to the people causing the problem getting fired.

They will have no influence on content at all, that is all coming from Cover HQ.

>>71168870
>Nijisanji is dead, yet they decided to just plunge into the abyss after them.
Please find convince yourself that /vt/ is an accurate reflection of the entire industry. Nijisanji EN is in trouble, but their brand in Japan is fine, and the /vt/ fantasy of giving up on EN is unlikely. They might rebrand, or reshuffle talents, or something else, but they aren't "dead".
I would be happy to be wrong, but I've worked at a nearly-dead division of a company before. Just as often as companies cut off struggling divisions, they will instead stubbornly hang on to them. Like Microsoft running Bing at a loss for 15 years or whatever.

>Same thing that was supposed to happen when HoloEN debuted, right?
Cover did say the Los Angeles employees can make their own independent decisions. At minimum Holostars will be performing at the next HoloEN concert. The EN employees will demand that and Yagoo was already heading in that direction with the HoloPro merch.

>>71188014
Then the tickets sell like trash and the fans start leaving which forces Cover to correct course like they had to do when Omega was in charge

Why does any of that affect the comparison? Sony was a Japanese company that opened a branch in California and its products have been af/infected by that since.

>>71174368
Well the modern US has no culture so it must leech onto others and like a parasite and destroy it in the process.

>>71194776
It only seems that way because you define "culture" as "how is this country different from America."

>>71194881
No, I define it as what goal as whole does a people/country want to achieve and at the moment US is purely consumerist. A completely apathetic group the only goal being purchasing to placate their empty lives. That isn't to say other countries aren't the same at the moment due to the US promoting such values in its entertainment.

>>71194776
This reads as third world seethe anon. No offense.

Pointless idiocy. ESG-fication of hololive is inevitable now. No amount of seething coping screeching and screaming from you blind retards will change it. It will happen. It always happens. Corporate vtubing now has an official expiration date.
And to the actually sane anons who know how this will end, hope to see you in a different hobby. It was fun.

THEY'RE GOING TO TURN THE FRICKIN VTUBERS GAY!!!!

>>71169185
LA is the only viable location if you’re trying to haul merch from Japan
technically Long Beach is where the bigass port is located but that entire city is basically CA squalor stereotypes materialized in real life and nobody worth hiring are gonna wanna work there
everything you hear about LA/SF are extremely localized examples blown out of proportion, the real shithole is in LB

>>71197710
you need to go back >>/jp/

>>71197710
I would be a lot more worried if they were moving content production to the US, but it's just a merch distribution office, anon. They're hiring logistics people, HoloEN will still be run from Japan.

>"Mr main branch, this merch drop wont do"
>"oh?"

>"Here, let us send you some proper modern day aligning mech designs. While we're at it, let's set up a meeting about those designs your idols use, this is all super incel-adjecent and needs to be changed pronto because otherwise your fans will think you're sexist."
>"Oh, that would be bad. Let's set it all up, thank you."

Anyone who seriously thinks this is going to somehow going to build up to something along the lines of a joint Live/Stars concert for NA is delusional at best and suffering from brain worms at worst. The next Hololive EN concert is going to be longer just by the virtue of factoring in Advent so they'll have as many talents as they would for a stage at HoloFes.

>>71187062
you're spelling out ideologue as a joke, right?

>>71164519
Just get a warehouse or a few in some rundown areas that's hidden. Very cost effective.

PLEASE TELL ME WE'LL FINALLY GET DECENT SHIPPING ON ITEMS IN THE WEST. I'VE BOUGHT MERCH 3 TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT'S DOUBLED THE COST

>>71208168
This actually seems like it's going to be the most immediate benefit of this decision.

>>71164519
Sales localization is going to give them a massive boost in revenue. Cover is going to experience first hand the power of American consoomerism.

>>71165126
The only thing preventing them from doing so is that they can’t

Finally I can buy merch without getting raped on shipping

>Nijisanji EN is in trouble, but their brand in Japan is fine
Their brand in Japan is treading water, they've been unable to generate significant buzz since salome, and rely heavily on old established talents that they are slowly losing one by one. There's a reason they listed nijien as their major growth vector going forward, which is now completely dead to them and given how saturated the Japanese market is generating more growth domestically is going to be squeezing blood from a stone

>>71177722
this, i haven't seen any japanese companies come out unscathed from opening a branch in commiefornia. those headquarters always make demands to the japanese headquarters, even if 99% get rejected, the slow game of 1% gains takes its toll.

put some Holo warehouses in the states so we don't have to keep getting fucked by shipping

>>71164773
I hope so

>>71219431
Wait a second. Is this why shipping dropped precipitously for US orders recently? I was flabbergasted that this order only cost $36 to ship. If they're already planning for US based distribution that actually makes sense...

>>71216360
Localization is the main difference there. HoloUS will not be doing content or localization. It's strictly merch/event planning.

The only real threat is if HoloUS starts translating JP streams for EN viewers. Then you might get censorship or wokeification of the dialogue. But I have a hard time seeing that lasting because too much butchery and censorship and you can bet fans will complain directly to the streamers about it. There are limited avenues to complain about Sony or NoA but a lot of avenues by which fans can deliver feedback to Cover.

>>71164773
people that worry over "wokeness" are as fucking annoying as woke people

>>71223357
If Hololive "goes woke" it will turn into Nijisanji EN, just without the psychotic bullying. That's obviously something fans are going to be concerned about, since Omega tried to copy Niji EN when he was running HoloEN.

However, there's a difference between legit concerns and scaremongering, and given that content will remain firmly in Cover's control, the breakout about the US office definitely falls into scaremongering territory. I'll get worried if management if the EN talents starts to be handled from the US office and not before.

>>71223357
>people spotting patterns are as bad as the people doing the deed

As someone who actually has experience as a local sales rep, talking to people in person and communicating through texts, phone calls and email; how do I apply to be a holoEN employee.
Sign me up YAGOO and I'll get a Funko POP! line going within the first month of operation.
