From what I understood, nothing is specifically related to him, it’s more about the discussion that comes from that.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I grasped the tl;dr is “CEO dead? Great!” = ok / “CEO dead? Great, they should kill more of them!” = not ok
I legit think the state/oligarchy will kill him silently.
Wouldn't that backfire though?
Won’t more people start thinking “So this guy killed a really important CEO and apparently never got caught nor faced repercussions… you know what…”
Jimmy should’ve seen that coming (well, assuming this wasn’t the plan all along…)
Man, Fukahire-mama’s art is always great.
And of course the price for playing the crane is… quite steep for the unprepared
No one’s reported abuse, favoritism, or pay being withheld. No one’s ended up in a hospital. No talents have dogpiled on anyone leaving.
Well, iirc that was the situation for Niji as well up to Zaion’s termination… and then in less than a year everything came crumbling down, revealing things were going terribly even before then.
Now I wholeheartedly hope that’s not the case in Holo, but we can never know for sure. Though yeah, before any of that gets public it’s no use being paranoid. Let’s just see what the future brings.
Generally, the smaller the better. Smaller gap between the executives and the animators and smaller teams means they have to keep the workers happy because if a few leave, the whole production grounds to a halt.
Ehh… nowadays most studios outsource a LOT, so losing talent isn’t really that threatening. Afaik KyoAni and Ghibli are the only studios who barely outsource anything, other ones may have some “regular” director or animator but most of them are just freelancers.
Their bank account is much more important than talent retention, sadly (and most studios do pretty badly under that aspect as well, as most of the money goes to committees).
Anime industry is just a mess in general, it’s a miracle they even manage to release great products from time to time.
Yeah, he might be at least top 50 but there’s no way he’s second (nor is Trump first) with all the horrible dictators running countries around the world.
Every video game company and every anime company would disagree.
Afaik the large majority of anime companies aren’t publicly traded… the issue in that field is usually within production committees (which can, and often do, include public companies).
Apparently that applies to a lot of gaming companies I like too… but that made me realize pretty much all of the publicly traded companies I know are shit and now I’m more afraid than before.
Some “fan” will try to become the king of the hill.
Yeah, I can see that happening unfortunately. My cynical mind says they would probably do better than the average shareholder, but I wouldn’t put my money on it.
Honestly, if Hololive nose dives, the talents have plenty of examples to follow on restarting their careers as indies or corpos. I think that’s going to be the real legacy of Coco. Before her, no one knew if the fans would follow.
We had a small taste with Delutaya but yeah, Kson really paved the way with that. Looking at the bright side though, the fact that 3+ years later so many old talents still choose to stay in holo shows they can’t be doing that badly, at least on the JP side. We’ll see if Doki proving how well that can go on the EN side will cause an uptick in Holo graduations like it happened with Niji, hopefully not because that would be a very red flag about the EN management.
Well, even now it’s not 100% public, afaik around 40/50% is still owned by Yagoo. Fans would “just” need to buy the rest and say “listen Yagoo, we don’t really care that much about profit, just run the company like you used to and we’re good”.
Though of course, that’s still a lot of organizing and having a bunch of people commit to handling things the same way is definitely not an easy task.
That could be the cause for some talents (I’m pretty confident it was for Ame), but from other clips (another from Randon/Vesper and especially Laplus talking about Chloe’s decision), to me it looks like behind-the-scenes workload might be a more widespread cause.
Either way, in both cases it seems like something not worth losing talents over, so addressing this issue should be a no-brainer for Cover, imo (unless there’s a different issue we’re not aware of, hopefully not tied to the good old fucking LineGoUp™).
Was that from a mod or an admin? From what I understood, the ToS explained here would allow a comment like that, but mods could still decide to remove it according to community rules.
