I was just looking on Reddit and found who her PL/previous accounts were, a lot of her content was doing impressions of other vtubers and characters so it checks out. Sadly she privated all the videos on her previous channel.
Elizabeth is debuting now, Gigi Murin debuts at the :45 hour mark.
Cecelia Immergreen debuts tomorrow at the :00 mark of whatever hour this is for you and Raora Panthera debuts at this hour's :45 mark tomorrow, with Justice's first full collab stream being an hour from now tomorrow.

This is the official press release to accompany this video.
Yagoo's actively trying to make vtubing go mainstream, in my eyes that's the only reason the Dodgers game is even happening, because he actively wants vtubing to become as big as possible, but that may or may not backfire, considering how many Holo models have wobbly chests that certain people may or may not complain about.
The leaning into their character I do get, considering a lot of vtubers just drop it, but a lot of what makes vtubing work is the communities around each talent. I'm thinking a lot of them being 'uninteresting' may or may not be because of how long chatting goes on for, but I also know a lot of vtuber's 'past lives' (the 'official' term for their other accounts, including IRL and non-corpo vtuber accounts for corporate vtubers).
Maybe it's just me but my definition of mediocre and others is pretty different because I mostly play fighting games, where the degree of how good you are can vary massively because you can be the best player in your region and get demolished by the best players in the world, but you're still very good because objectively you get pretty damn far in tournaments, but I wouldn't necessarily say many of them are mediocre, some of them, like Dokibird/Selen Tatsuki for example, are genuinely pro level at some of their games (her specifically would be Overwatch and Apex Legends).
On the 'hiding' front, at this point I say it's mostly for the sake of aesthetic + security. A lot more independent vtubers also show their faces than corporate vtubers as a whole, but just from finding out different vtuber's PLs and seeing what they look like, it's aesthetic and security. Security mainly because I genuinely didn't understand how desperate the modern man can become until I saw the tweet where Pokimane's former editor actively admitted that he occasionally was late delivering/uploading videos for her because he was fapping to her, and actually admitted that.
The brain of a man who can actively admit that has to be the brain of a man who delusionally believes he can get some, which is also the reason why most female streamers hide their boyfriends, because those boyfriends have almost always gotten death threats spammed to them from being found, which is ridiculous. Albeit with vtubers, some of that attitude is purposely cultivated by the corporations because corporate vtubing (or at least Hololive) is an extension of Asian idol culture.
There's a lot more hot IRL vtubers than there are not, to the point where some of them 'match the model' if you catch my drift.
I'm primarily a clip watcher who mostly got into vtubers because Moist Critikal/Charlie/penguinz0 was covering the Dokibird/Selen Tatsuki situation when it happened and I had heard and seen clips of them for years, just never really bothered following them really until then.
The entire point of Nintendo's games as a whole for the most part is that they use their consoles' gimmicks to fully flesh out their first party games. Nintendo making multi-console releases would pretty much ruin the point of why they have consoles to begin with.
The capacities of the baseball stadiums are also vastly lower, and that average attendance number is dragged down massively by the Marlins and Athletics actively trying to lose, the latter because failure nepotism baby John Fisher is trying and failing to move the team to Vegas by any means necessary
The last time this happened was with the explicit approval of the Chinese government, like those two videos still don't truly convey how much sheer spam and harassment the 50 Cent Army was blasting all over Hololive's talents just because Coco said the word Taiwan
Copy paste of the first comment on that Reddit post:
"So I dont know everything either, but I can give a decent synopsis.
Haachama and Coco (streams 10ish hours apart on the same day) both brought up analytics on stream, and mentioned Taiwan as having a decent follower count. This angered many Chinese nationalist fans, who proceeded to cause problems on social media and BilliBilli, the Chinese equivalent to YouTube.
To save face and let the tension die down, Cover suspends Haachama and Coco for three weeks and leaves the issue there. Thing is, problems escalated as many Chinese viewers (from here on I'll just say "antis" to save space) continued making a fuss, with certain ones (including the people behind the Hololive Moments clip channel on YT) wanting Coco to receive more punishment. I dont know specifics, but I've heard some people think she did it purposefully to keep pressure off of Haachama, as her stream came after and she had been suspended before. However, this hate could also be because of how Coco is, IMO, the most American/Western centered member of HoloJP, due to her constant English, jokes about Hololive USA, and beliefs that she is from America. Point is, people are still pitching a fit.
Well, time goes on and both girls come back to overwhelming support, but we aren't out of the troubles yet. Cover states that they had rules against political comments on stream, but they had forgotten to enforce certain rules. In addition, antis are still spamming in both Haachama and Coco's chats, and Coco has issues with Anti-bots to this day, though they have decreased with time. In addition, word starts coming through that members of HoloCN are having problems with Cover, but most of this is unknown. Almost all HoloCN content was strictly on BilliBilli, with the major exception being Artia on Twitch. Girls twitters start getting hazy, Artia makes some comments about how things may change soon, but a lot of not knowing beyond that. Eventually, Artia and Civia have an impromptu stream where they talk about going independent, but they dont know a lot beyond that. Few days after, Cover sends out graduation announcement on Twitter and dates for each girl, essentially stating that HoloCN is going to be shut down completely. This seemed quick, and was described as sudden by most people who talked about it. As far as we know, some are still going to continue Vtubing, but likely with new models and no association with Hololive.
At this point in time, there's isn't a ton of concrete evidence on why Cover outright ended HoloCN. Most people believe that the issues with Chinese Antis was an on-going thing, though I'm not sure of that. Also, Cover seemed to have a growing interest in a Western audience, with translated clips, idols speaking English, and HoloEN all being wildly successful. This could be an extra reason to pull out of China, as many Chinese nationalists have negative opinions about the West regarding certain... disagreements. I'll leave that tangent there. To further this issue, people have dredged up evidence that shows several of the HoloCN talents have expressed nationalistic views online, with some even bringing up very anti-like opinions of Coco during her suspension. However, I cannot guarantee the validity of this, I have only seen vague references to it.
Hope this helps, and sorry if I missed any major points.
TLDR, Haachama and Coco talk about Taiwan, Chinese antis get triggered, Haachama and Coco suspended and return, Chinese antis continue to raise hell, Cover pulls out of China (possibly related possibly not), we get to current day."

A post and videos that explain this way better than I can at the moment.
Hololive Indonesia’s Kobo Kanaeru streamed to the Chinese streaming service Bilibili earlier. The reason this is notable is because Hololive and China have a horrid history because during the lockdowns, two of their vtubers went over their analytics and mentioned the word Taiwan and over the next year or so had massive harassment issues due to mainland Chinese people spamming and doxxing their talents. The situation is very complicated and I’ll link a video explaining it as that will take less time than me writing this out.
Gainax has been a corpse for a while, as infamously they were treating their animators pretty badly. Hideaki Anno created Studio Khara in order to be able to make the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, and Studio Trigger (the studio responsible for Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Darling in the FRANXX and Promare among other things) was founded and is staffed by primarily former Gainax employees.
Panty and Stocking is one of the shows that Gainax made, and I'm assuming part of the reason the second season has been delayed for so long is because of these rights issues.
That’s because for a large part of people, the only section of the site that exists is Lolcows > Stinkditch.
Lolcows itself is fine, the reason I don’t like Nick Fuentes is because of his Kiwifarms thread, it’s just a lot of meh
That's on me, I'm never asking this question again or anything close to it, because I had no fucking idea that it would result in this. 55 comments in 2 hours is reserved for stuff like when people start sperging about lolis in the public eye
She's the sole American. If the rumors of who the other two used to be are true, Cecilia is German and Raora is French.
