He actually ended. I was expecting a long ass session. Rest well seaweed.

It can't be a coincidence that Hal paired him with Kanda. Like last time he did with Astel. Honestly, I 100% believed Izuru was gonna skip shuffle again and I'm glad he proved me wrong. Cheers to Shogun socializing with outsiders.

Can't seem to find any posts confirmimg the riggers for this batch's 2.0
Findings so far (as of this writing):
Jujube and tou_ilie have not been active in 10 hours (last was during the EN2 collab)
Both Felucca and Naname have retweeted Izuru's 2.0 frame announcement but neither have retweeted Astel's (notable since he was one of Naname's three sons for 1.0, the other two being Oga and Roberu)
Felucca has also retweeted Rikka's 2.0 frame announcement
Rariemonn (Izuru and Rikka's 1.0 father) is currently awake but has not retweeted any of their 2.0 frame announcements
Keffiy also hasn't retweeted any of their frame announcements thereby counting him out as a 2.0 rigger for this batch
Klaeia has the same situation as the two above

Now that the final batch of 2.0s have been unveiled, I would like to give my personal evaluations for all members' new rigs. Feel free to agree or disagree with me on some parts
Will be going through each rig by batch and will be listing the 2.0 riggers per stars member
This is going to be a long post, sorry

>Batch 1 - Yurustars
>Temma - Klaeia
Definitely an improvement over his extremely stiff 1.0 model. Aside from the wider range of movement and additional angles his new model can show off, his face has also gotten a lot more emotive
Only nitpicks are that his mouth rigging looks strange (mainly due to the lack of teeth) and that his hair is static instead of bouncy like that of the other boys
>Miyabi - FELUCCA
Also a huge improvement over his 1.0, got the best rig in his batch imo
Wider range of movement and angles without any weird distortions, better physics on both his hair and clothing, and improved and smoother eye and mouth tracking make for a much cuter Miyabi
>Aruran - Kawanami
Dear god, what have they done to this man?
Like the other two above, he also gained a wider range of motion and angles at the cost of having an extremely strange head distortion when he looks to the side
Model also moves a bit unnaturally when he leans forward and back again
Also it's probably just due to his phone placement but sometimes his mouth doesn't track well and when it does it opens really widely
Feels more like a downgrade which is weird considering this is supposed to be his 2.0. At the very least, his pouty expression is pretty cute though.

>Batch 2 - Babumagadokide
>Oga - Kawanami
Additional side-to-side motion aside, his 2.0 feels like it only got minimal changes from the 1.0 rig by Naname
Not much to say, to be honest
>Shien - Jujube (same as 1.0)
Thank god he had his ears and tail rigged because it definitely adds a lot more to his character when he's playing up certain emotions, especially since he knows when to utilize them for either comedic or fanservice purposes
Ignoring those, however, Shien was right when he mentioned that his 2.0 would only have minimal changes from his 1.0. Jujube's rig for Shien's 1.0 model was already pretty good so the only changes he had to make were to improve the tracking for Shien's eyes, mouth, and hair as well as to add eyebrow tracking to his model's default expression
>Roberu - Jujube
Jujube once again proves to be one of the better riggers Cover has hired since Roberu's model had a massive improvement over Naname's 1.0 rig (sorry rratmom), especially with the updated expressions and tracking
His face has more angles to work with and both his hair and ribbon became more flowy/bouncy
Something interesting about this 2.0 is that the improved eye and head tracking makes it easier to infer about Roberu's set-up with how his model looks down quite often

>Batch 3 - the singer trio (idk if they have a formal unit name)
>Izuru - Kawanami
Finally, this boy's mouth can actually function. His new expressions are also a lot cuter and his model can definitely move around a lot more
Unfortunately, he also runs into the same problem as Aruran in that his head looks weird when he moves his head far to the side. It's at least mitigated by the hoodie and his longer hair at the back so it isn't as obvious as with Aruran
>Rikka - ??? (still haven't found them yet, seriously who the fuck rigged him)
The old man definitely got the best 2.0 in his batch and as with Izuru, his mouth can finally actually move and distort properly
With how emotive his model now is from his improved eye + eyebrow + mouth tracking, it's easier to forget the man is actually an android
Other noticeable upgrades to his model are (as usual) better angles and expressions as well as bouncier hair and accessories
>Astel - ???
Actually the hardest to properly evaluate considering his model's tracking can't seem to keep up with his rapid movements when singing resulting in the janky movement we saw during his part in the relay
His mic or pop guard's placement also definitely interferes with his mouth tracking but then again this is an old problem that's pretty noticeable in his previous karaokes
There's at least some noticeable movement in his eyebrows and the straps on his coat though
The changes to his model's face have definitely aged him backwards though. Finally this shotacon shall truly become like the shotas he loves so much

When the camera actually managed to track Astel's mouth it was really good, and his teeth being more noticeable is cute.

>>8523267
I would say at least N3 which is conversational level. Honestly, once you fully get nip grammar, you can understand all of them as long as you look up the vocab you don't understand. Aruran may be a challenge sometimes as he tends to go into old otaku topics that you might not get. Roberu would probably be the most difficult if you don't have a basic understanding of how Kansai dialect works.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8523267
N3 anon here, I love Roberu's streams for practice but you might get overwhelmed due to topics jumping rapidly in most streams. I think this topic was in the previous /jp/ thread a few days ago but some of the best stars for listening practice is definitely Miyabi and Shien due to how they clearly pronounce things.

I've been reading parts of tae kims guide every day, and even repeat reading some parts to make sure I understand them so I should be alright there. Sometimes they talk fast and I can't make out what they said. That's mostly a problem of me not being used to vocal japanese though, so I'll fix it through exposure.

Probably, I'd be surprised if we make it to the end of the year without HolostarsEN. If anything I could 100% see it being a similar situation like with the girls
JP is full so they're debuting more EN holos since that's an ever growing market
The Holostars don't have much mainland support, but the foreign audiences love them, so going forward I doubt Gen 4 is ever going to happen while HolostarsEN might have a couple of Gens by next year

At this point a Stars Gen 4 is way more likely than EN, and even the current members expressed how they don't know if they really want new kouhai. But forget about EN before 2022. Even if they have a lot of EOP fans the Stars don't have the same footing outside of Japan like their sister branch. They're mostly unknown and the absolute majority of their western fans were first introduced to Hololive through a meme or clip before discovering them. Considering how both EN auditions didn't preclude men from applying you can bet the majority of them never even heard of Stars other than the common memes like "winning son", and we have the problem of that shitty "overseas bros" meme. I would rather wait for the Stars to find their boom because if Cover rushes their development I fear we'll have another Shindo Raito.

With over two years of Holostars and the current state of things, I don't know how if it's posible for the Japanese fanbase to grow to the point where they're the vast majority. Honestly the thing here is less the geographical location and more just how Cover manages thing, They still treat the western fanbase like second rate citizens when they could be doing so much more to not only improve their reach in the one territory that's actually supportive of them but also the one with the biggest potential. When you're aiming at Japanese yumes and fujos I'm not sure the " western fanbases are more shit and toxic than asians" applies
>Get a better service for merch
>Get them proper appearances at things likes anime expo, and not I'm no talking about the "3 seconds of fame" they got, but an actual proper panel
It's not that hard, Just look at Astel he has been popping off to the point you could make a solid argument for him being the number one Holostar (he is in terms of SCs and viewers unless Roberu breakfast baits) and a big part of his backing is international

Yes this is exactly what I'm referring to. Appeal more to the local fans so they can have more merch and events, and also for the stars to have an audience who they can relate more and communicate with them.
