I think corpo collabs go against the spirit of collabs since the point is knowing the chuubas decided on their own initiative to collab with each other, because they like each other and want to interact.

Management forced garbage completely goes against that idea. The idea was so poorly thought out they now needed fucking A-Chan to babysit them as translator, what a joke.

Gura loves Aqua and likes Marine.
Marine deeply respects Ina as an artist and they have wanted to collab for a while
Aqua wants to improve at socializing, learn eigo, and collab with more people

They all wanted a bit of this.

I know this is kind of bait but I really do feel like forced collabs are basically one of the worst possible things cover could ever do.
Removes a lot of the authenticity and genuine feelings people have when they collab together and just makes it feel like fake consumerism bullshit like it 100% is.

You cracked the code, anon. They wanted nothing to do with each other and got forced to do a collab.
I could see Aqua getting strong armed into it by Marine and her boss, A-chan, but that's because she's socially stunted.

I honestly highly disagree.
If everyone just kind of sticks to their own bubbles you never have new dynamics form and everything just kind of calcifies.
I don't think it should be the norm.
I don't think you should expect them to act like friends right off the bat.
But a major advantage corpos have over indies is that you don't constantly rely on the petty interplay of present relationships in order to get things done.

In other words, I think this is healthy. Do one of those per quarter and eventually people are gonna discover new things about themselves and their coworkers.
The idea of everything having to rely on immediate and personal relationships is why HR is such a cancerous concept nowadays and why people are becoming increasingly lonely, as such thinking means anyone who isn't either the biggest of extroverts or had a solid circle of friends before 16 gets left behind.

I'm not casting judgment on whether the chuuba are being forced to do this. I'm just pointing out how the two statements aren't contradictory.
We don't know whether or not the girls and Ina are being forced to collab since we don't get to see behind the scenes and I doubt any of the girls would confirm otherwise so it's really up to the cynicism of the person looking at the situation.

Because it's always the same crap. They're in the wrong for not treating EN the way they do JPs, but they're also wrong the moment they do. JPs are expected to work, they're expected to be part of company events because they're employees. Whining about "muh corporate mandated collab" is insane. This is still a job.
It's fair if used for criticism because you thought it was unnatural and a shitty stream or whatever, but asking their talents to work on their projects is hardly draconian.

Gura had liked Aqua a lot before joining Holo herself, has said she wanted to collab with her several times and also wants to join Akukin. She also had gotten to talking with Marine since like week 1 as well ... last year. If "literally a year-long run up time and maximum possible time for Gura to even exist at all and talk to these people and saying she wanted to collab with them" is too short and artificial for you I think there is literally no pleasing you.

The question I suppose would be "what's Ina doing there" as Ina doesn't have the actually-evident interest Gura always had. However, Ina had expressed herself as a fan of Holo overall itself as well including well before joining, and I think basically Gura was like "I wanna be with them but am real afraid to talk to them, but you know some Japanese so maybe we can do it together" and thus umisea is born (even though Aqua has nothing to do with the ocean or anything in specific besides her name lol).

As much as I think this advertising and 'Umisea' branding takes away from this and makes it feel a little organic, truth is 3 out of 4 of the girls are a combination of quiet, introverted, and sperg and there's a language barrier on top of it. Can't expect Marine to do all of the work and I guess if you're wanting to have more JP/EN collabs it's gonna take a little jumpstarting to get things running.

Aqua really has nothing at all to do with the ocean or the navy or anything like that. She has no theme or lore at all. She's a 'gamer maid' and that's it.

It's more like "gura always liked Aqua and wanted to collab with her since the beginning" is why she's there. Ina is there because Gura needed some kind of mediator/translator. If there were any liberties taken on part of management it might have been that Kiara would have been the first choice but Cover management stepped back and thought "wait a minute, Ina is also technically water based, hey we could make this a thing."

The other thing is there have been a few other EN-JP group collabs but you just don't see A-chan there waiting to chime in. Why they had A-chan there to mediate, I dunno, maybe as an additional translator and/or they actually were paranoid someone was gonna chimp out and management only let it happen if they're there almost audibly breathing down Gura's neck.

Aqua literally has an anchor as one of her main design icons in her outfits. She doesn't play up to it in her character, but design wise it's there.

Cover can say that, but if you actually hear Aqua talk about herself she clearly gives 0 shits about lore/setting at all to a degree even beyond most other early Holos. She's just herself and is/presents as herself, kind of like Coco is just herself and the dragon thing is way way way secondary. She wouldn't know what her own backstory is if you asked her, Shion tried probing at it a bit and she had absolutely nothing at all to say about it.

Wow brilliant comment faggot. Aqua gives no fucks about her lore at fucking all, that is not controversial or obscure knowledge. It's pure coincidence gaou happened to make her nautical themed and that works with umisea. Gura was interested in her since before she was Gura.

[Anonymous No.]

definitely feels corporate. but I don't think it's going to be soulless forever, since it's not a completely random group. gura/aqua was bound to happen at some point, marine loves ina, and ina knows a little japanese while keeping gura from being an awkward lonely EOP. the language barrier is really strong though. they made this stream work but as a long term thing I kind of worry for them.

Keep in mind SMOK, SENPAITACHI and OKBR are also things too, we have no idea if those are all organic or not but actually we can be pretty certain SENPAITACHI is for real and at the very least OK and BR are by themselves real things, why exactly those got mushed together though I'm not entirely certain.

The holobirbs thing also is inorganic too. Reine and Kiara had fucking nothing to do with Shuba who FYI to EOPs literally isn't even a duck, it was just a nickname for her and became a thing, like how Yagoo is literally just Shuba mispronouncing his name but became a thing. Now any new avian-related Holos are inducted to that group now. Actual collabs may come out of it; wouild anything think Mumei becoming a holobirb just because lolowl is organic?

Other than some "nautical" imagery on her clothing, she doesn't really have much connections to the sea, so yeah, instead of thinking to deep about "lore" reasons to make sense of it, the simplest explanation is probably some NUMBAHS calculations by management or whatever.

But hey, I'm not even "mad" about it (why would I? No sweat off my back either way), because even if the occasion is "forced", it can be a good thing if it helps get Aqua out of her shell and interact with new people outside her comfort zone.

I don't really care about meta commentary or whatever but this is pretty cringe. JP + EN styles don't match, especially not the humor. The only time it works is if the JP side carries it somewhat and the EN side follows up on it, which isn't a sleight to HoloEN idols but Gura is like the most useless idol ever in a collab like this and Aqua is too awkward to work with English people.

i don't think this works in longer streams like this. en/jp interactions are fun if both sides are fluent (ie coco + holoen, kiara + holojp in amongus, this is probably why all of en gen2 speaks jp) OR just in short bursts so you can funny clippable moments with less chance of awkward air time.

Why are you defensive? It's not necessarily a bad thing but this is unlike a standard collab that the girls would put together. This is something Cover came up with to sell merchandise, music, and generate ad revenue. A regular collab doesn't come with an animated comic book series and a logo.

With the amount of influence Marine especially holds in Hololive, this feels to me like something she came up with and pitched to the higher ups. I don't think the higher ups would push for a jp/en collab group on their own, considering how they generally keep the two groups seperate, but we know Marine has already done so in the past.
Even if it were entirely suits though, it's silly to bitch about a collab where every member has, for months, expressed a desire to collab with others in the group.

Everything about Hololive is corporate. The contracts, rules and restrictions are why the girls can't say or do a lot of the things they want to. They're always under corpo garbage 24/7 because of that, complaining about some weird collab group is retarded. They endorse products, get sponsorships, try their best to get superchats so they can make money for their company and themselves. It's all corpo shit, if you want something with no management watch indies and be a saviorfag
