Am I the only person that is aware Nijisanji is just Fanwork-Only Fans material at this point (like with Overwatch and RWBY)?

I'll have to disagree. This would only happen if there's an influx of new fans who aren't aware of what transpired since the first cracks appeared. As it stands, there's no new blood, the branch is effectively left to wither, and there's still a large amount of fans still loyal to the brand, only that there's a growing number of disgruntled ones.

idol has revealed their next talent

And there's apparently a proper third generation for EN in the works, too. Putting that partnership with Brave Group to good use

I'm not sure that's true? I'm not familiar with what fanfic looks like, but fanart now skews heavily towards "safe" livers, suggesting that there's not much disconnect between the fandom and the "work"

I completely forgot that Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is collabing with VShojo for the game's 1.5 anniversary (global release). This is one of 5 song covers released so far, along with Hime ("Hold you tight"), Ironmouse ("Headless Angel"), Mel ("BOOMS DAY") and Zen ("We're Never Giving Up").

Matara's song goes hard. [awesome] The snippets of the other songs I heard all sound good, need to make time to listen to them.

[up][up] It's mostly JP livers now for Nijisanji fanart... including graduated ones like Suzuhara Lulu.

Additionally the Selen Tatsuki one I found was actually from February 4 of this year, just around the cusp of her termination.

[up][up][up] I think the awareness of Nijisanji's nefarious actions are less pronounced in Japan, so people there seem to be less aware about the controversial aspects of the company. I still think Nijisanji is Fanwork-Only Fans material though; I'll still try to respect your opinion though.

I foun out the artist who is relatively known for what people accept as the first Nijisanji EN doujin say he is refusing to draw nijisanji after the black vid, also citing bad experience with them?

It's phrased ambigiously. Like direct bad experience with the company? I don't know if they ever official did something along the lines of rigging, or maybe they got blocked from distribution?

IIRC the not-TSB stream had a slight bit of plausible deniability in that nobody had Helldivers 2 perms at the time.

Biboo, Iofi and Zeta have now come face to face with Behemoth.

Behemoth, as a crossover monster from Final Fantasy XIV, might be a little too much for them at their current experience level:

...That's actually not her(?) username on twitter. But, yeah, officially dropped Nijisanjinote , citing general controversy, toxic community, and vague past issues with Nijisanji. I'm actually kind of surprised that she ran into problems with Niji itself; as a western artist who primarily operates digitally, I'm not sure what they could do to her. Maybe got pushed out of an artist's alley at a con?

And, yeah, she does seem be responsible for the first NijiEN doujinshi

Based on what some of the artists who worked with Selen before have said, Niji seems to have a bit of a habit of not paying artists (or at least not on time)?

[up][up] …It's Nijisanji. Pretty certain that that (I guess the word for it is) "company" has so many loose screws, gears, and baffling incompetence in its ranks and PR, that leaving just seemed like the proper call.

I dont know what naokomama has done with Niji to have a direct relationship. Dont know a single piece of official art with naokomama’s name on it. Must be an NDA thing if it isnt being said.

A cursory search doesn't pull up any evidence of them commissioning her, but I may just not be looking hard enough

...Though, her commission info does demand partial payment part-way through, so it's possible that they had a falling out that over payment for a piece that was never finished

Phase Connect to hold an event among their older talents in relation to the current hot Switch game Bunny Garden.

Something something "age of 30 is in demand" something...

Also, Aqua and Pekora are having a freaking race in The Game of Sisyphus:

Hex Haywire has to postpone the planned handcam birthday stream with his mom, and it will end up pre-recorded. Didn't he get the green light from management for that birthday idea weeks ago? I know Nijisanji has implemented a hard rule against family members appearing in streams a couple of years back, but I thought that was specifically for NijiJP.

Yeah that's a loss opportunity there. And it's barely a month since Pekomama's stream.

A Niji JP talent had a sponsored stream promoting an energy drink and someone in staff had the genius idea to have the talent suggest the audience to mix it with alcohol.

Cue a number of high schoolers rushed to the hospital because of heart palpitations + other health issues and both the Japanese Ministry and the company behind said energy drink rushing to publish a PSA against that combination
