Been a while since I did one of these, but that's mostly because there's been way too much that's happened since I did one, so I'll try to focus on some of the bigger things that's happened since then, starting with the debut of dooby3d, who is the rebranded PL account of Amelia Watson of Hololive English's first wave, Myth.

In this stream, she revealed that before Hololive, she used to be a foley artist for several different studios. A foley artist is essentially someone who is in charge of creating sound effects for a show using actual props, and not only did she do that, she also listed off her credits, which lead to people finding her real name, and she said that she's perfectly okay with that. The biggest 'shock' to people in this is mostly people trying to figure out how in the world the person behind Amelia Watson had any free time at all, but the actual point of the debut was not just to reveal that information, but that she is launching a consulting business as well. She has a motion capture studio in her home with equipment totaling a cost of over $19,000 in order to do this with, but if you think that's expensive, the 3D studio that Cover has in Japan for its talents to do their 3D debuts in dwarfs that cost by orders of magnitude.

Pivoting to Nijisanji, Victoria Brightshield, the Vtuber who was in the most recent Sajam Slam, that was forbidden from interacting with Dokibird due to the termination of Selen Tatsuki and whose oshis (industry term for favorite vtuber) were Selen Tatsuki and Pomu Rainpuff (now Dokibird and Mint Fantome), will be graduating from Nijisanji on November 9th. Her PL/indie account is MoguGhost, this is her Twitch, this is her YouTube, and she has already done collab streams with her recently graduated genmate (term for members of the same generation/wave), Kunai Nakasato, who is now indie vtuber SunnySplosion.

In Victoria's graduation announcement stream, and several streams afterwards, she specifically blames the company and her treatment within the company as her reasons for graduating, feeling like she's disappointing her fans. Nijisanji's shills (Nijisisters/Nijisanji Defense Force/NDF) started blaming the fans, but everyone knows at this point that it's the company.

notNamie/nambarimasu, the person formerly behind Sana Tsukumo of Hololive English's second wave, Council, streamed for the first time in over a year on the above link, and people were going crazy because all of a sudden within the course of a week, three different formerly corporate vtubers began streaming with their independent accounts, and this isn't the last one. One of the main reasons she doesn't stream as much is because she doesn't want to be linked back to Sana publically because she works as an illustrator for Chinese gacha game Arknights, and because of the Taiwan situation a few years ago, that's obviously an issue.

This one is by far the biggest one in terms of her former viewership. Yuuki Sakuna, formerly Minato Aqua of Hololive's second generation (the early generations of Hololive do not have names), debuted last week and is about to break the record for fastest vtuber to one million subscribers, and quoting someone from Reddit, October was supposed to be Halloween but it's Easter now..

There's more news on the negative side, like indie Vtuber Camila having a stalker trying to break into her house while she was streaming, but I'll end it here before I get too long winded.
