祝贺

Celebration video or she's a whore

>>14193909
KINO

>>14193909
All it took was her death for people to remember she existed.

>>14193909
2viewbros, I thought we managed to cancel her?

>>14193909
To do that she had to go on indefinite hiatus. She won... but at what cost?

>>14193909
おめでとう!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14193995
She's going on hiatus, not graduating

>>14194013
she will come back after a month with her NFT business

>>14193909
>Literally has to announce pseudo graduation to hit this milestone

>>14193959
I wonder if they'll launch this immediately after hello world or when she comes back

>>14194126
An indefinite hiatus which is pretty much just a soft graduation.

>>14194126
Sure... Like Kaguya Luna

Youtube must really hate her since she mentioned on her videos that she wished to hit 3 mil last summer.

>>14194126
that's just semantics at this point

>>14194175
>>14194231
She's confirmed that she's coming back after her hiatus

>>14194231
Luna didn't make any hiatus or graduation announcements. She just straight up stopped making content as Luna after making some final cryptic tweet.

I somehow get the feeling that most anons here don't even know what role AIs roomate plays in her company

>>14194306
How so?

>>14193909
>Retards keep subbing to a dead channel
kek

She should celebrate it.

>>14194175
An indefinite hiatus during which there are plans to keep people up to date and not in the dark.

>>14194359
>Dead channel
>Still uploads content
Pick one, brainlet

>>14194326
Most anons here don't even know that Ai's roommate is still Ai and regurgitate lies they've been fed.

>>14194326
She voices Ai and also serves as an advisor to the whole Kizuna Ai project. She more or less is in control of the whole thing.

She's been stuck at 2.98m for 4-5 months but the only we have any movement on her sub count is when she announced indefinite hiatus. Who says that subs are a measure of popularity. Seems like recently it's more on how emotionally manipulative you can be. you only care about Kizuna Ai because you think she might disappear than appreciating when she's here now when nobody was talking about her. Disgusting sheep.

>>14194387
What do you call a channel then that gets about the same or less traffic of Matsuri with almost triple the sub count then? Even Anya is pulling in better numbers on her covers than Kizuna does.

>>14193909
Good for her I guess, but it doesn't feel like a celebration
Didn't care about her but I still acknowledge her presence and role. However, some people don't think highly of her right now, so best one can hope is she does something outright impressive

>>14194492
So I guess all of hololives subs are due to manipulation too. Hate to see it. That's why I watch Nijis with organic real subs.

>>14194015
Hey that's my NFT.

>>14194324
PMaru confirmed (during the debut of her 3D model) that VIC didn't allow her to say goodbye. Activ8 is not going to destroy the brand by committing the same mistakes.

>>14194454
>She more or less is in control of the whole thing.
That's an executive producer, something she is not (as far we know)

>>14194492

>>14193909
The worst fall from grace in the history of Vtubing. And it’s from the first generation of Vtuber even
A sad story

>>14194556
She always does, just people don't pay attention. They prefer a 2D avatar sprouting memes for the clippers and lewd baiting.

>>14194307
Did she? All I've heard was pretty cryptic and you can interpret it many ways really. It would be weird to give up on a brand like that so she probably will remain out there in some form, at least her model will but the real question is will she go back to making youtube content on a regular basis.

>>14194725
You could look at history to know what happens when she feels usurped by some dude she essentially pays.

>>14194883
The optimistic outcome is that she is taking vacations until the COVID situation in Japan improves and it allows her to do a massive comeback event. Her strongest point is the live events after all.

>>14194883
one possible rrat is that Kizuna Ai Corp was taken over by investors, and to not raise much stink that Nozomi is leaving the company, they made it look like Ai is just "restarting". it's possible the "reboot" she's talking about is that Kizuna Ai will rebrand into a vtuber group and Ai will be relegated as a figurehead and they'll use her likeness to sell NFTs and VR solutions.

>>14195208
That could be a Gamebu situation and the second time they try to pull the same stunt. If that is the case, let it burn. I cheer for Nozomi's career as a VA.

>>14193909
Queen of Vtubers

>>14194725
From what I understand, Activ8 let her choose her team when they set up Kizuna Ai Inc, which is why her friend is CEO.

>>14195208
That sounds pretty pointless you want Kizuna to push other talents, the name itself doesn't give you much.
Actually I wonder if the plan is to make Kizuna 3D setup aveilable in her home so she could stream with it easily, it would actually make sense to have a whole group with this kind of quality, they would certainly stand out on the market.

>>14193909
Gura sweating

>>14193909
Good end. This year might end in a good note.
I still like her and will wait for when she comes back.

>>14197813
Well she's not even gone just yet, you still have three months before the hiatus.

Finally. I don't like the circumstances, but at least she finally got there.
Wish people stopped shittalking and spreading lies about her though. She deserves none of the hate she gets.

The thing is, even though she is the pioneer, her methods got outdated by L2D livestreaming as a thing and she never really managed to make the jump to that over premade content, covers etc. For its time it was neat but the whole thing of feeling like it's a real-life waifu you can talk to just isn't there with her. It's like celebrating the horse and carriage when we already have the car. Sure it came first and is the OG but nobody actually uses them anymore besides ceremonially.

>>14198210
Not a good comparison. Cars are an innovation and technological development over horses. Vtubers have made no innovations or developments since their inception, regressed even since streamers have been a thing way before Kizuna Ai made her first video. They just spiked in popularity for different reasons and aren't even the same thing anymore.

>>14198325
The difference in tech is irrelevant vs the difference in interactivity - little to none for Ai's main-line content vs it being the feature with L2D streamers. Ai was designed to function like watching a bunch of anime shorts as a concept, it's like if Cover made literally nothing but Hologra, it's just obsolete.

>>14193909
>announce a big break and make a big deal out of it
>suddenly sub growth gets boosted in a short span of time

Kizuna is a fucking genius.

>>14198210
also we went full circle, streamers like Marine and Haachama are doing short videos with premade content

>>14198210
But she does livestream as well.

>>14198453
That interactivity isn't new either. Current age vtubers have introduced nothing new to the scene.

>>14198453
>>14198607

>>14198453
It's not really obsolete, it's just a different option in the market. The worst thing that can happen to the VTuber concept is for it to be stuck in the rut of being "just streamers". Hence why we have VTubers, VLivers, VSingers, and there's even attempts to make VSeiyuus a thing.

>>14198610
Every couple of months on her main channel and every couple of weeks on the gaming channel ... where it's only 10-30 minutes usually, it's not like activ8 has her playing Minecraft 30 hours a week like Holos. A lot of Holos will do more actual stream time in 1 week than she does in 6 months-year.

>>14198607
We are going back even further than that. La+ is straight up uploading 2015-2016 youtube content.

>>14193959
>>14194152
The specific NFT thing being teased in that image already happened: https://twitter.com/metaani2/status/1438339743956144143

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean she won't do something NFT related again, but to use that image as absolute proof that she's doing NFTs post-sleep is either ignorant or dishonest.

NFTs are retarded, though, so I really hope she never promotes them again.

>>14199298
>I really hope she never promotes them again.
anonchama...
she already shilled NFT's and Zucc's Metaverse on the announcement stream.

>>14194387
Time to let her go, anon

>>14193909
>subbing to a dead channel

>>14194875
That's what happens when plebs from reddit and twitter invade 4chan.
They don't know what true kino is.
And yes, I'm saying /vt/ is normie central.
t. /tv/ fag

>>14194725
>>14195698
She's chairwwoman of the board.

>>14198492
As expected from the Eternal Queen.

>>14193909
>golf clap

>>14200398
That's not quite the same as a direct collaboration, but yeah, I realize that it's naive to think she'll never do another NFT collab again. I just really wish she wouldn't.

Her character is hilarious when paired with the right kind of game/interview subject, and I've been enjoying her career as a VSinger. The only thing more NFT shit will do is just tank her reputation even further than the "Multiple AIs" confusion does.

>>14201099
Always remember that people turned their backs on this

>>14193909
vtubing would be better if the A.I./heavenly kings model remained the standard, instead of "twitch whores you can simp for but they have an anime model". Fuck, I hate simps.

>>14200508
>mocks Kizuna Ai
>posts a picture mocking Gura
Cumkeks are actually braindead what a surprise.

>>14194556
Her lives are pretty strong and the rigging tech is lightyears ahead of Cover, too bad it's mostly wasted and likely going to end up stolen (if not already) by the Chinese.

>>14201289
Yep. Pleb board confirmed. Also, coomers get the rope.

>>14201321
We all know who was the real culprit of all of this.

>>14201323
>Quitting
>channel not dead

>>14201403
As much as I like Coco, I'm gonna include her in the culprit list. She's the one that got the aforementioned normies and twitch thots in the hobby.

>>14201403
I suppose she started it, but holowhores pretending to be seiso while slutting around is probably worse.

>>14201413
>Hiatus = quitting
meds

>>14201403
I know it went downhill from there, but I refuse to blame her when the fault lies with everyone else blindly following the meta.

Haachama, Kokoro Yami and even Gawr Gura exist because of Black Ai

>>14201413
She's still active until the end of February.

Based Black Ai enjoyer.
Kizuna Ai should really use that persona more often.
It makes me feel things that I shouldn't feel about Kizuna Ai.

>>14201729
I mean if you want to really know the first one that did the black or bad version of their standard vtuber character was mirai akari with her Kokoro Yami character.

Black Ai was way later just like black sora

Before Miko was known for saying inappropriate words playing video games, Kizuna Ai paved the way

Before "seiso" was a meme among vtubers, Kizuna Ai was known for not following the rules

>>14193909
A hollow victory...

>>14193909
I don't even watch her and I want to kill myself. Why's that?

Took her long enough.

>>14193909
so this is the power of graduation boost

>>14193959
get cancelled bitch hahaha

All it took was her death

>>14193909

She should just did this before

I can't believe i've been stuck in this bullshit hobby for 4 years. Vtubing is the new 4chan at this point.

>>14194307
Did you even watch her announcement? There's going to be projects made during and after her break.

>>14193909
QUEEN!

>>14193909
Congratulations, Ai-chan. I'm happy for you

https://twitter.com/KizunaAIinc/status/1468114193937473536
A thank you present for any Kizuners who are living in Japan.

https://twitter.com/KizunaAIinc/status/1468069054657495043
They're also cracking down on people using her name to deal in crypto, most likely referring to this site (https://www.kizunabsc.com/).).

>>14220726
Holos pretended to be idols while most of them are whores. Nijis never pretended to be idols. Holo itself is a leech company that basically sucked away at Ai, Njij, .LIVE and other companies until EOP retards made them popular.

Well there you fucking go. Retards fell for another meme.

>>14193909
Don't worry. It's probably just some bot subs deployed by well meaning but ultimately misguided fans. Susan will fix it in the morning.
