Announcement Regarding Termination of Contract with Yozora Mel

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continuous support of hololive production.

We regret to announce that as of January 16th, 2024, we have terminated our Virtual YouTuber

Master Agreement with Yozora Mel of hololive.

It has been confirmed that Yozora Mel has been engaging in acts that violated her contract by

leaking information to third parties that she acquired from the company. As a result, we have

determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her and have elected

to make this decision.

To all our fans and partners, we deeply appreciate all of the great support you have provided

throughout the activities that Yozora Mel has engaged in over a period of 5 years and 8 months

since her debut as part of the first generation of hololive. It is with regret that we must report this

matter in spite of the long-standing activities of Yozora Mel. We sincerely apologize for the

information we are providing at this time.

We will be closing Yozora Mel's YouTube channel and membership by the end of February 2024.

We are taking this matter very seriously, and we intend to make further efforts into instructing our

affiliated talents on compliance matters, so that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.

We hope for your continued support and patronage of the talents of hololive production, as well

as our company.

Thank you.

To everyone

We sincerely apologize for causing anxiety and discomfort to many people due to this incident.

I deeply regret my careless actions.

We have discussed it with the management and have resolved the issue.

He kindly gave me permission to publish this text.

I feel very sorry for having to say goodbye in this way to everyone who took care of me.

I had a dream that I wanted to make come true with everyone in Kapumin. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. But that doesn't mean the memories I have with Kapumin and Holomen will disappear. I will never forget this. I'm always watching over everyone. I love you forever. Thank you for what you have done.

And I'm really sorry.

Yozora Mel

I honestly hate him compared to someone like bakugo. He would have been more interesting if his power was something normally fairly useless like healing bones quickly. That way it's discovered later that his short king body can't handle the power so he has to constantly break his limbs for each new escalating threat. The best part of MHA was everything tournament arc and before that. It got really bad and boring. Not to mention they retconned all might being the worlds greatest hero in history. Star and stripe is way stronger. What a crock of shit. You know what her power is? She can impose laws on something but only two at a time. She can touch herself and say supersonic flight and bam she has it. She turns lasers from flying aircraft into a giant fricking sword. She can basically do anything she wants. How the frick is this not explicitly stronger than All Might? All he does is punch really hard. She basically loses due to not understanding a fringe weakness of her powers and the plot demanded it. More or less plot induced stupidity.

Reupload since I forgot to send it into a Hole

Was a bit busy this week, so I didnt watch anything. Might watch something today, idk yet...

Frieza in the Japanese version of DBZ is portrayed as polite to subordinates and at times, reasonable despite being a genocidal dictator. That makes him automatically better than a majority of Japanese bosses.

Some medium-sized spoilers ahead for One Piece.

Context

Some pretty standard anime forum drama on /r/OnePiece today.

One Piece is a long-running manga and anime series about pirates with magical powers and strange body proportions. The subject of today's drama is Jewelry Bonney, a character introduced way back in 2008 who, like many (most?) of the series' women, first showed up with a scanty costume design and rather generous proportions. She's been a pretty minor character in most of the 15 years since, but in the latest arc of the story, she's suddenly become a central feature.

It was recently revealed that Bonney is, in fact, 12 years old (10 years old at the time of her first appearance), and she uses her powers to age up her body and appear as an adult. This has caused some controversy, because - even beyond the already-mentioned skimpy costumes - Bonney has been sexualized pretty substantially in recent chapters, with numerous butt shots and one particularly egregious topless panel. And that's just the official artwork; you can imagine what else the internet has done since her reveal.

Today's drama springs from a screencap of the anime, which has just recently previewed the topless scene. Is beating off to a 12 year old child who looks like an adult cool and good, or is it creepy? Is it totally okay because Japan? Does it matter that she's fictional? What about age of consent?? That's for you and the intellectual elite of /r/OnePiece to decide!

Highlights

In both situations, its just an anime character.

Still has the mind of a 12 year old...

What exactly are people complaining about? Her body is that of a 20+ year old, she isn't doing anything sexual and everything is purely fictional. I know I'm probably gonna get downmarseyd for no reason, but I honestly don't get why so many people are upset.

And we have People here who complain about OF Cosplay posts.

The age does not matter cause she's fictional. Shut the frick up already.

Plenty more peppered around the thread, and doubtless more to arrive as the thread goes on. This topic always brings out the hottest of takes.

I'll trawl this thread later maybe IDK, but have some fun if you neighbors need to kill an hour or two shitposting. They apparently are very mad about the phrases "foid" and "moid"

It is good to see some places on the internet never change

Season 1 was insane. No I won't explain why, just go watch it.

Anime of the decade if Vinland Saga didn't exist

No cap

I think she was also later in some anime, bunny s*x lol

Hey fellas, happy new year again. Hope youll spend it just as productive as last year!

Anyway, this week I rewatched the first season of 'Cupids Chocolates'. Its chinese, which is pretty weird, but I still like it cause it has a stalker waifu. I plan to watch season 2 too, I thought I never watched it, but after seeing the first episode of it I think I watched at least a few episodes at some point. Very mysterious...

I also started some nippon originals:

First, I watched the first episode of 'Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me'. Sounds like slop? Cause it is. The mc already gave me a headache after the first episode (cause hes a giant cute twink), and I dont think Ill keep watching. Idk who enjoys whiny kitty r-slurs mcs, but for some reason japan seems to think there are people out there who do.

The second thing I started was 'Stardust Telepath'. Its ok so far, seems like a pretty generic slice of life show.

Thats it for this week. Im about to watch 'The Boy And The Heron', see if it lives up to the hype, so you can look forward to my expert opinion on that next week.

It looks like they put half the budget of an entire cour into the opening.
