Anycolor, or Nijisanji, is a vTuber production company with a bit of fame for being an extremely bad workplace. Nijisanji EN, the English branch, has gained a fair bit of infamy for one of their talents, one of their vTuber idols, becoming effectively the Chief Operations Officer of the branch despite just being a female model, and the whole office going matriarchal politics. A fairly famous vTuber got fired because this queen bee didn't like her, and the circumstances of her firing were that she was fired while she was in a hospital, generating some minor negative coverage. The main branch noted that the firing of a hospitalized Selen would be "financially negligible", in a now-famous meme phrase, but the ol' queen bee didn't think that was enough, and went on a full smear campaign of her, after Selen was already fired. They keep harassing her company-wide, working as an independant, to this day, as an organized hate mob.
The main Japanese offices are a bit better, but not much. It's a very poorly organized company, Nijisanji, and them letting matriarchal-style-politics and bullying dictate how their company runs, or rather, how it falters, has led to some having an interest in its ongoing downfall as an organization.
It's only tangentially adjascent to the main thrust of this .win, but many people here do have an interest in vTubing/anime culture alongside video game culture, and so the second/third largest company in the scene's stumbling because they insist on simping is of note to the OP, I assume.

I'm not sure if Elira runs anything, but she was the one who hosted the 'black stream' that happened after the termination of Selen Tatsuki, now Dokibird where they revealed (or the higher ups told them to reveal) some information that was actually confidential and Dokibird's lawyer agreed to not speak on it, in that the hospitalization was for a suicide attempt and that that suicide attempt was her second attempt, and both attempts were a result of bullying from within Nijisanji.
Overall, the company barely supports its talents, the EN branch has talents graduating left and right and will probably be merged with the main branch within a year, and overall fucking sucks.
Nijisanji seems to have effectively blackmarked themselves, similar to what's happened with Sweet Baby. I have the feeling that Selen was the final straw and probably the last talent the non toxic fanbase watched so with her gone, there was just the very insular group left so 50% revenue down as a result.
So they're slowly bleeding out, EN side might be shut down by next year, I'm now looking more at this weird shit where we have a Twitch employee suspending vtubers for stupid reasons (like banning one that said her audience gives her a reason to live as promoting suicide) and YouTube arbitrarily going after clip channels and ASMR creators as 'sexual content' even when it isn't.
If people had paid attention to the Zaion Lanza situation and didn't immediately take Nijisanji's word for it, this would have been known over a year ago, but it took that long and we nearly lost Doki because of it.
On the other stuff, Twitch is being biased against Vtubers IMO because the admins aren't getting the vtubers' nudes like they do with the e-girls that stream on the platform. They hit Zen with a warning because Zen streamed with a new outfit that's a one-piece, there was another vtuber that got banned for a whole month for drinking on stream because her model is that of a loli and only got unbanned because people made a stink about it.
I at least understand why Youtube is going after clippers, as multiple channels uploading the same video over and over does take up server space, but then they should take down people who aren't the musicians who make songs as songs get uploaded hundreds if not thousands of times and are about the same length as many clips on their own.
ASMR has to be the advertisers though, although that's also super inconsistent. Some ASMR is sexual and some isn't, like the Twitch girls will blow a cucumber and call it ASMR while tapping on your microphone gets tagged; it's pathetic overall and I hate that some people get envious/angry at pixels and the people behind those pixels that easily.
I think paypigs have a shorter lifespan than many in these emerging simp industries realize. Either metaphorically because they eventually realise the parasocial shit is never going to progress to real human connection, or literally as they get so pathetic they off themselves or drink/drug themselves into financial ruin or oblivion. I expect that most don't just abandon their current stalker-crush and get a new one, they abandon the indistry entirely the first time that disillusionment sets in.
Simp streamers have been riding the wave of the explosive increase of a new disease in a naive population, without realising that eventually a mature population immunity will mean they have way less success than they even do currently.
What is Anycolor and why should I care about its financial report?
Some context would be welcome.

It's a lot more related than a significant amount of bullshit posted here, at least.

I don't know how much of this theory is true but I want it to be. It sounds like the scary backstory to one of my Japanese animes.

Sooooo.... a negligible loss?
Barely an inconvenience
Overall. EN specifically is BLEEDING, compared to FY2024/Q1, EN is down 50%, look at page 17, specifically in the EN section

Does that mean paypigs are running out of money for their kweens? Is the recession actually here?
