@raydawnzen@epaphrodytus Ina also explained timezone and by extension location issue. Barely any non JP talents were in japan around that time. Working with oversea talents may mean having them to do trips when on-site presence is needed. Meanwhile there're already tons of talents available locally.
@reverse_sky@yuttari_holo Forcing japanese people who live in japan and work for a japanese company to learn english. Hm, this sounds familiar...it's called colonisation!
Fyi, not all EN or ID know or learn japanese and no one ever forced them to.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus The branchs are gone but ID or EN or any other language speakers can still debut. Existing talents will continue their usual activities "at worst". Getting all upset in the mean time will just consume you.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus It's the 1st day, future plans remain to be seen. One positive example I can think is on ID side there is slim hope to see a new gen of ID debuting for example but now you may see a new ID speaking talent debuting in the same gen as JP or EN or any other language speakers.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus I agree with the sentiment about wishing to see some positive change but it's also too soon to go into the negative. The changes are only announced today. Give it some time. Support your oshi more in the mean while.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus I agree it's not good look but a preview of an old project does not indicate missing talents getting sidelined, just like in Hololive dreams, missing talents may still come in next installments.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus They are upset about their branch identity I get it. JP has never had any JP branch anniversary so...
The JP side are for JP audience originally, EN ID were for EN ID audience respectfully. They don't have to "reach out" actually, it's individual choice.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus Also EN and JP official sites now will relay information about all talents and not limited by branch so even info which does not concern EN talents will appear in EN sites and vice versa.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus Do you think stuffing 60+ talents in 12 or even 24 episodes is a good idea? The project has started 5 years ago and jp talents are more available locally for supervising and stuffs. Even if affiliations remain separate the lineup itself likely wouldn't change.
@TheDeepWeeb@diego1marcus So where are downsides other than name change? Give concrete examples and not conjectures. The talents are sentimental about their affiliation I get it but fan making a fuss about treatments when nothing has happened yet is incomprehensible.
@T_M_K_002@epaphrodytus Ririka is fluent in English isn't she? As far as I see, JP also try to talk in EN when they are invited to EN collab.
If you talk about feeling "one-side" then ID fans should feel it most since their oshis mostly talk in English.
@mistery_gurrl@tiannya_ Where in the world anyone mentioned needing to learn japanese to have better "opportunities"? They learn because they want to communicate with other talents, same for jp talents, they do try to learn some English to communicate with EN and ID.
@ryokaneee@tiannya_ What do you mean? Most JP try to speak/introduce in English when they and overseas members collab.
EN also doesn't introduce themselve in ID don't they ? So by that logic should they start learning ID?
Do you even watch?
@nako_FWMC I get it, but getting a "next season" is often a wait-and-see game. Even popular anime series don't get a next season or it takes years to make one so it really depends on a lot of factors. Hope the Holo anime does well enough to get greenlighted for more.
