Small potatoes, you might say, but this is huge for all upcoming anime conventions. I will not be surprised if the cons gradually start dropping Nijisanji with this reveal, on top of all of the shitshow that has been happening in the past months. The backlash at anyone still supporting the company's shenanigans will be too great to ignore if the cons don't drop them.

Sadly, Kurosanji's threats do have some credibility, given how influential they are in Japan. And guess what? Yasuhiro Harry Igarashi, the overseas talent manager for NijiEN who's actually only there part-time, is a full-time employee at Universal Music Japan.

This is honestly one of the craziest things we've seen Niji do. They weren't just going after someone they don't like over an innocuous joke, they were threatening to blackball an unrelated third party over an innocuous joke. Absolutely astounding level of pettiness

What'll be interesting is if this prompts other people to open up about threatening emails they've received from Anycolor...

It would be crazy if an email from nijisanji leaked on threatening official collabs with Doki and to an extent Sayu if that were the case. A concrete act of maliciousness than we have right now.

I've actually seen people atrributing Niji's downfall to him. IIRC he was hired at the beginning of 2023, and that was when things start to go badly. Zaion's termination, dissolution of ID branch, Nina and Mysta graduating, Pomu losing her "once-in-a-lifetime chance" that lead to her quitting, Selen getting into problems with management that finally imploded this year, etc.

Eh, if this had come out a year ago we might see some results, but I don't think too many people will be interested in hosting Nijisanji next year anyway. If Niji EN is still around next year

But speaking of Nijisanji being difficult... sure is interesting that the first Offkai Expo without Niji is the first one with Holo

It's one of those things where I think, no way they would do something as petty like that, right? And it turns out they actually did it. Yeah, this is real dumb of Niji to do.

Giri is having Mint on for a cooking collab. I think this one's got it maid :p

U-san appeared as a guest at the Ocean Hong Kong Park venue for Honkai: Star Rail's first anniversary (I think it's distinct from the big concert that took place around the same time on the main HSR channel).

It is pretty amusing how Giri's place seems to have become a tourist spot for EN VTubers. Though if I remember correctly there's another person staying with her currently as they just moved and are looking for their own place :o

Kiara's Chimera MV has reached a million views!

It's an awesome video. Also, I love how its "most replayed" graph now has a tall bulge at a certain spot.

Wawa's also been telling everyone to press 4 when watching Chimera, even pausing Girl Stalk for a minute or so to have Kronii and Mumei press 4 themselves and view the glory themselves.

Ah yeah, H and Mr.H has now animated that moment in the Helldivers 2 collab when Matara left Mint and Henya together, knowing that it'd be awkward for two introverts to interact with each other.
