Vtubers truly have the wildest lore imaginable. Where else will you find the grim reaper having a vaguely homoerotic relationship with the phoenix that she’s known for several lifetimes. Or a literal demon that just wants to cook some nice meals for herself and her brother. Nyarlathotep almost ended the world in an attempt to find her purpose and also exists disguised as a catgirl. A hellhound was cast out of hell for being too nice and was cursed into a humanoid body. The personifications of hope and chaos keep getting married and divorced. Satan is real and she’s Puerto Rican. You couldn’t make this shit up if you tried.
also, disclaimer, for simplicity i'm counting mika melatika as a member of nijisanji's en branch even though she isn't technically actually a member of en.
i can't even be surprised when nijisanji members graduate lmao, i wonder how genuinely bad the management must be for so many of their members to graduate in such a short amount of time.
it's not completely fair to compare the two companies since vshojo doesn't release new members in "generations" and also has members who were indies or in another company before joining vshojo, not to mention nijisanji has many more members even just in the en branch alone, but i'm going to compare them anyway for the sake of it.
vshojo really isn't that much older than nijisanji, yet vshojo has 12 current members (three former members), and nijisanji has 31 members (5 former members counting mika, though two were to my understanding not graduations and rather terminations, which have their own surrounding controversy that i don't even understand tbh) in the en branch alone (32 if i count mika like i said i would). for nerds, that means 20% graduation rate for vshojo and 13% for nijisanji.
and it's just like, what the fuck has got to be going on over there for things to be going as shit as they are? members are dropping like flies. nina's graduation was announced june 26th, 2023. mysta's was july 23rd, 2023, and mika's was announced literally today, october 20th, 2023.
the funniest part of all of this is that mysta and nina have gone straight to vshojo where i'm sure they were eagerly accepted to compensate the loss of veibae, silvervale, and nyanners earlier this year.
all of this to say i have no clue what's happening but i find this all really funny tbh. if anyone actually knows what the fuck is going on and would like to tell me about it then have fun but for now i'm happy to sit back and watch everything go to shit.
Ok but Vshojo is so cool. Like I understand not being into big tiddy anime women or whatever but you gotta admit that the lore goes crazy hard. Cthulhu is real she consumed humanity’s sanity until a dragon and nature spirit wiped her memories and froze her in Siberia. Also she’s a cat girl now. A cyborg time travelled to the past to stop a supercomputer from destroying humanity, but she instead created an alternate timeline and her humanity died off anyways. An email scanning program gained sentience and became an android girl with the help of the virus that gave her sentience who is also the one who kills humanity in the future. The virus also invents sex 2 in the future and the android’s main goal is to discover/experience every kind of porn since she was exposed to the entire internet since gaining sentience. The most powerful entities in existence all exist as part of an idol group. They’re all horny for each other and just in general. Death is a tiny raccoon that eats trash from the dumpster.
Jaune: Agh... My foot... It feels like it's on fire!
Ren: That sounds like trench foot.
Pyrrha: The best cure is to keep our feet dry, but there's nowhere to do that around here.
Nora: I know another way, though!
Jaune: Wh-What is it?
Nora: It's kissing~!
Jaune: WHAT?!
Nora: It's true! The best cure is love, and over in Vale, they came up with a special technique that uses the power of love, through kissing, to make any illness go away!
Jaune: Nora, that's-
Nora: Tell me, Jaune. Who do you love?
Jaune: I... I really like Weiss.
Nora: Well, then it's settled. Everybody line up! We're gonna make sure we all give our fearless leader, Jaune, the love he needs to feel better!
Jaune: (Kissed by Nora) Ah~! Th-Thank you, guys~! (Kissed by Pyrrha) Thank you~!
Ren: Come here, Jaune. Just close your eyes and think of Weiss.
Jaune: R-Ren... I... Mgh~! (Passionately makes out with Ren)
Blake: (Watching from a bush) What the fuck is going on here?
