2024 has been a turbulent year for fans of agency vtubers. From graduations from major agencies like Hololive and Nijisanji to the closure of smaller agencies such as VReverie and EIEN Project, fans are left reeling with disappointment.
To round out the year, we’re doing a quick rundown of agencies that have closed and of agency vtubers that have graduated this year and recommend some alternate vtubers that fans may enjoy.
Hololive
Hololive is likely the vtuber agency with the least graduations this year. We’ve said goodbye to three hololive talents this year, two from the main branch and one from hololive English.
Cover Corp also announced two additional graduations for Ceres Fauna and Sakamata Chloe whose graduations are expected in January, 2025.
Hololive talents Watson Amelia and Sakamata Chloe have technically not “graduated” but have ceased streaming activities. They will be considered affiliates leaving open the possibility of participating in future activities and merch for both talents will still be available.
For fans of the below hololive talents, we believe you’ll enjoy the content from these vtubers as well.
