Gonna miss her. She was quite the entertaining gremlin.

Yes :c
She was the first one who closely introduced me with Hololive and vitubers at all.
I'm glad that thanks to her, the whole new world has opened up to me and sadly that we will soon say "goodbye, cute shark".

Hope she makes a comeback with her own new lil gremlin model and keeps on having fun with all her friends. Her "handlers" probably asked something nasty of her to make her just up and quit.

If she comes back, it'll be on her old channel, Senzawa. And no, it wasn't likely anything management asked of her besides increasing the number of public interactions and brand deals, which isn't unreasonable on their part, but considering she was already struggling with how much fame she got so quickly, it was too big of an ask for her, so they couldn't come to an agreement on a new contract.

I'll never believe a corporation had her best interest at heart. Probably denied her vacation time, threatened legal action if she took too many sick days etc. She's just a kid. It ain't healthy spending hours and hours a day sitting in front of a computer then rushing off to do stressful rehearsals and attend meetings.

Not trying to defend a corp, but honestly, they gave her a ton of leeway due to her personal issues. I don't think it was anything particularly malicious on their part, it's just that they expected more of her than she could give. Someone like Calli thrives in that environment while Gura is broken down by it, which is probably a similar reason for the other talents who have left recently. It isn't inherently either party's fault, they just have different goals and needs.

Making stuff up. How horrible of you. She literally tells us it's been too much pressure for her to be the brand of HoloEN, lots of collab deals and viewers. Overwhelming for her. And she's an adult woman.
