The State of VTuber Agencies

WIth so many options to choose from, each with their own different cultures and community, choosing and deciding what VTuber agency to support and get into can be a bit of a difficult decision to make.

Remember: No matter how bad of a shape you think your favorite agency is in, at least they're not WACTOR.

this didnt age well

[@sere92323]

Im gonna save your time. The conclusion of the comment section is: Hololive, Vshojo and IdolEN.

[@isunu6179]

in my opinion, holo is the standard banchmark of the big league. they learn from their mistake and didnt let their branch lag behind or abandoned. i hope holo can keeping their work culture like that and maybe some improvement here and there in more years to come.

[@mikalhernandez]

Hololive is killing it and none of their talent have become react channels like a lot of indy and other agency V-tubers have. Cover really has an eye for exceptional talent.

[@inanimatesum4945]

Just don't join ones that had whole gens leave because of how bad it is. Biggest red flag an agency can have is the consistency in the resignations and the overlapping reasons for it. Also if the ones who remain are being Mean Girls about it.

This aged oddly

[@Dickyboi99]

Vshojo and Hololive are the best while Nijisanji is destroying their Reps

[@jujukamiyu]

4.5 years of VSPO - zero graduation. 1 joined as indie vtuber retaining the identity and history; 1 direct transfer from one agency to VSPO - the first of it kind in the market.

[@greed-1914]

Most start ups take years to become reliably profitable. Cover wasn't even started as a vtuber agency, it is something that grew out of an experiment. One small company that I came to respect was Tsunderia. They eventually admitted that they didn't have the resources to support the talents and decided to close and let everyone keep their assets so they could keep going on their own.

How to join Vshojo step by step :-

[@jahoyhoy9097]

It'll be a cold day in hell when Nijisanji is even considered a good agency

[@gerdanbombales]

Hololive - Very Hard to enter but high reward

[@Kiralushia]

As a Vtuber since 2020 with shitty abilities in advertisement, I can say with certainty that, in a wide range of situations, joining a company is the best thing you can do for your careeer and sometimes you just need a good manager and a little push (and that's why people still audition to "not good companies")

[@vencelfoldi8236]

A thing about Idol Corp which I don't see people talk about at all, even though it's HUGE is they are planning to launch and are having auditions for a Spanish speaking wave, IdolES. For the longest time I've found it baffling how neither of the two giants or any of the relatively more established corpos have launched an ES branch much sooner, the Spanish speaking market is a diamond mine in clear sight which for some reason has remained untouched for years. If they don't throw the ball this could easily proper them into being the third biggest traditional corpo behind the two giants, and could start a wave of agencies launching ES gens.

3 months later and Nijisanji is on fire

Another bit of advice: Don't give up!

[@crimcrammoo]

every time i watch hololive they always offer me something that they others dont, and i dont know what it quite is.

[@AO968]

VOMS project has proven itself to fall nicely between micro-agency and friend group, and one of the better ones to be in. GYARI seems to be a nice dude, handles himself well as the sole staff member, and the talents that work for him are likeable and good at what they do. Their main limiting factor is that you're required to be fluent Japanese and a Japanese citizen.

[@Edelweiss1102]

Out of the big 3, Holo still seems like the golden standard to me. Yagoo is best girl, they have competent managers, amazing tech, and they pay fixed monthly wages. They also have learned from some of their part mistakes and dramas, and most of the drama nowadays seems to come from outside. It's hard to get into, but not impossible. Bijou, Nerissa, Fauna or Ina were all established content creators, but by no means big. If you are willing to put up with some classic idol stuff, Holo is top. Niji just seems very hit or miss. They release more waves, so you have better chances to join, but there is a huge discrepancy between what can happen. Some talents pop off and will get all the benefits while the rest gets the short end of the stick, and (EN) management is absolutely atrocious. Still not 100% sure what I should make out of VShojo. They are the right place for people like Kson, Mousy, Fruit or Henya who just wanna vibe and have their freedom, but they don't offer much in talent support and brand building in return and unless you are an already established and big name, it's impossible to get into. Might as well join Holo or Niji first.
