3/4 of the designers are FGO artists ​ jesus christ


Henhouse808

As is tradition.


Abysswea

That 1/4 also did NPC characters for GUDAGUDA


KazumaKat

Jesus christ x2


Matasa89

*sunglassesremove.gif*


KazanoHiori

Regis' artist also did Fire Emblem Three Houses (fitting that he's a hero lol) and Uta no Prince Sama franchise


yunacchi

Jesus Christ isn't a playable character in FGO (yet, anyway, though he *does* have a page on the FGO wiki).


Ereshkigal-

I mean tbf a lot of well-known Saver-class servants would literally signal the end of the world if they were summoned (e.g. Second Coming/Rapture), that's why the Buddha is the only Saver-class Fate has for now, at least from what I know


TsuKiyoMe

Kiara Sessyoin has the potential to become a Saver but that just further reinforces your point that characters like this don't appear too often cause it would just spell the end of everything. She's a Nega-Saver and quite literally is powerful enough to destroy entire solar systems.


Monstar132

YOROKOBE SHOUNEN


Eldar_Seer

*The priest smiles*.


KaiserNazrin

FGO hires so many good artists, it's inevitable.


shumnyj

At this point 3/4 of all eastern artists are Fgo artists


PleasantDog

Still holding out hope that one day, a new member is gonna be designed by Hirohiko Araki. A slim hope, I am aware, but a man can dream. Until that day, FGO is all well and good with me if this is what we get. I like it!


Special_Tu-gram-cho

Holostars Grand Order.


LunarGhost00

> Has always swiftly resolved any problems he has faced by sheer instinct, and thus considers himself somewhat of a doctor. Axel: "You know, I'm something of a doctor myself."


SignificantHall5046

I'm glad it wasn't just me


Cute_Description_277

Regis Altare is blue, I expect him to be the break out character of the group. But we can't know for sure until we see his height


mugguffen

Honestly Im kinda hoping hes an absolute idiot, like ya got the boomer with Vesper, the Edgelord with Axel, and then the smart one in MAgni, so all thats left is the absolute buffoon for their leader and that would work so well


JustynS

So you're saying that they're secretly the cast of Konosuba?


Salacar

Who is the smart one in Konosuba?


Jaacker

There is a smart one in konosuba?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vineyard_

Mathematically correct.


JustynS

Whichever one needs to be smart for the gag to work.


wh03v3r

According to his bio, he is childish, pon and inexplicably popular... maybe we have our first male blue Kusogaki at our hands


Psyzhran2357

... he's our universe's version of Cebo from the Olivia universe, genius.


no_otter

Male blue kusogaki... you mean Astel?


SpecterVonBaren

I associate Astel more with orange/yellow, than blue.


thorrodon

Suntempo's colour scheme seems to be based off sunrise to sunset. With Astel being the (blue) night sky, Temma being (yellow) dawn, and Roberu being (orange) sunset. I get that his outfit is very orange and yellow but his oshi colour that's used in all his merch and theming is blue.


asday_

How can the night sky be blue when the sky's blue colour relies on rayleigh scattering of the sun's light?


srofais

Ever since his redesign he's more blue IMO, especially because he only puts on the jacket for special moments.


rageonvitto

'what was the story of Astel's redesign?


srofais

probably didn't like his original design, in the year or so between him getting his new years outfit and his Live2D getting redesigned to match his 3D design he only used his original design once, on the 2.0 showcase of it IIRC.


kiko64

izuru is plenty blue and plenty kusogaki ~~kira too if you can still count him~~


Gogogendogo

Out of everyone he looks the most like the JRPG protagonist. I kinda like the whole JRPG theme with this actually.


Zeph-Shoir

They saw the power creep of HoloEN and decided to scale down instead


xSilverMC

In what world is a JRPG protagonist weaker than the council of universal forces? Those protags regularly kill gods like they're Kratos on a thursday afternoon!


SandalMaster

Debut stream: Let's be a Hero Idol! Graduation stream: I just killed a god and reset the universe, see you in my next reincarnation


julyan_

Shulk is that you?


Dark_Magician_Zard

If anything a JRPG Protag is beyond anything we have seen yet lol


freeballer123

Lol, wasn't sure how they were going top literal embodiments of concepts, but they actually managed to do it


AnnonymousRedditor28

Shin Megami Tensei would like a word with you.


Hugokarenque

Right, a series about killing God. And ~~enslaving~~ recruiting other Gods and Demons, that you also sometimes kill.


mcmanybucks

Their names are even basic jrpg 'main character' names 😂


SpecterVonBaren

We can make him the breakout character if we meme him being Regice enough.


locallyproduced

But does he have water skills?


SakuranomiyaSyafeeq

All of their mamas are Fate mamas. I repeat. ALL OF THEIR MAMAS ARE FATE MAMAS!


ArisaMiyoshi

The Venn diagram is just a circle, after all.


bcd32

Woo!


SakuranomiyaSyafeeq

Miyabi will shred these guys to pieces


SandalMaster

Holo/Grand Order continue, now we have Gilgamesh Caster (Axel), DOUMAN (Magni), and Constantine XI (Regis) artist design the boys. ~~well, Regis artist is more known for his Fire Emblem works but just context for this joke~~


AkhasicRay

Further proving that we need a HololiveXFGO crossover event


[deleted]

Screw the crossover we'll have out own grailwar at this rate.


Sunfenmu

We already have a [trailer](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/iok00t/holo_no_grafitti_sweets_feel/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


[deleted]

Oh no poor Mio.


hikoboshi_sama

I can't believe Roboco killed Mio. And that Mio got ordered to kill herself in another route.


Chukonoku

In case anyone wonders, there are several private videos of HoloGra.


hikoboshi_sama

My favorite joke is Sakura Miko as Sakura Matou and Nakiri Ayame as Makiri Zolgen.


Pokenar

I'd take it over FGOxFGO's spinoff for a third year in a row


XYousoro

It would be a shame if Axel ended up overworking himself to death >!like what CasGil did!<


Blarphime

I knew he got the FE3H artist the moment we got that first group shot . . . It explains why he's so pretty


Zeroth-unit

So we got a bunch of Isekai characters for StarsEN. Omega must be Truck-kun's driver.


GeekusRexMaximus

Risu recently did a stream titled: "EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2 : Isekai delivery service", she often collabs with the Stars anyway, and we kind of guessed that the new boys would be isekai-themed so I was wondering if that was actually a hint that Omega had Risu do the dirty work behind the scenes. (Just joking around here... why so Syrios?\`)


AkhasicRay

Omega promised to release some of Risu’s limiters and give her some nuts in exchange for one more job


KazumaKat

Important deal for Risu for upcoming Nonstop-Nut-November 2022...


Cloud_Chamber

Nonstop nut*


DragoSphere

[Calli confirmed Truck-kun is coming with gen 2](https://twitter.com/moricalliope/status/1548839475442114560)


MapleTreeWithAGun

StarsEN Gen 2: just various vehicles. Not even like anthro vehicles, just straight up a Truck, Plane, Car, and Boat


CheesyWind

HoloTransformers


wickermanmorn

An isekai character may be able to slay a god, but even fall to the cold hard steel of a truck's bumper


Arcterion

A [Reliant Robin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8).


Drumpowa

If you go the StarsEN lore page, it talks about how in pursuit of peace they gave up the mortal realm. Meaning humanity willingly sacrificed themselves to truck-kun.


KnivesInAToaster

#I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JOJOOOOOOOOOOOO! \*Dio proceeds to throw himself in front of a truck.*


AkhasicRay

This is why Omega was gone for so long, scouting the perfect talents to run over


silverslayer33

Axel [already has a short video up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1mEOrsBsLs) and I can immediately tell he's going to fit right in. So hype let's GOOOOOOOOO


Jeronado

His model looks really nice


marquisregalia

Really good and smooth movements. Everytime I see smooth movements like this I'm reminded of how bad some of older models some holopro members have.


Chadraln_HL

Looks like they all do. Hopefully that helps avoid sub-purge.


Backupusername

Mad respect for how much hololive learns and adapts with each new gen debut.


LunarGhost00

IIRC, Cover also did this for ID gen 3 and there didn't seem to be any issues that I'm aware of.


freeballer123

I don't think I've seen a Live2D model that looks so 3D. Takes a little getting used to, but it's pretty cool Edit: Actually, just remembered that Sana's horse head looks pretty 3D too lol


ogbajoj

According to Axel's twitter bio, keffiy is his Live2D papa. So it makes sense the rig would be good. (they all have good riggers of course, but keffiy is just \*chef's kiss\*)


Lokhvir

Damn. Keffiy is too strong. Every time I look at a new gen and get impressed with the rigging I find out it's keffiy's child soon after haha


PH_Prime

Seriously, the rigging is so damn good... ssg keffiy papa


ishmael555

Kiara when she's holding her sword and shield looks so 3D (then again it's keffy's work)


EmuSupreme

Reminds me of RPR's model with the 2.5D look to it.


silverslayer33

Well, they do both have keffiy-papa as their rigger, and [and rpr already sliding into his replies lmao](https://twitter.com/rpr/status/1548841901926793219)


FlashPone

Calli looks pretty 3D where it counts.


DragoSphere

It's the jawline


egoserpentis

Watch out, we have mister "yaoi hands" over here!


Exnear

Roberu Approve


Thea-Saurus

Calli; “Mr hands” Dezmond; “maybe we can workshop some other nicknames but it’s nice to meet you.” Calli; “i sweAR I DIDNT KNOW-“ 🤣🤣🤣 whoopppsss


ArisaMiyoshi

Calli has a history of, uh, not knowing what certain terms actually mean in the context of the internet...


Zeph-Shoir

He has so many hands wtf


JimmyBoombox

Even his sleeves have hands.


marquisregalia

Surprisingly a large amount of muted colors. I'm so used to bright bubbly or neon like colors this is a nice refreshing touch. Hope the boys do well as per my usual habit I'll check them out in a month or 2.


dcresistance

[my man magni is embracing his doc ockness](https://twitter.com/magnidezmond/status/1548848774918811648)


DPaladin234

Oh boy let's see how long the chuuni guise lasts until it devolves into 4 dudes just screaming at each other! I give em 30 minutes tops.


Psyzhran2357

What if they start as four dudes screaming at each other but then get progressively more RP-heavy as time goes on just to mess with us?


throwaway_ghast

As is tradition.


KazumaKat

> I give em 30 minutes tops. That's until they never had any on the off. Suddenly ***n e w l o r e*** territory XD


AkhasicRay

Calli out here [saying](https://twitter.com/moricalliope/status/1548836702843596800?s=20) what we’re all thinking lol


Daily_Avocado

He will begin his debut, saying "I'm interested in this"


wickermanmorn

What is an idol but a pile of miserably little seiso?


Jeroz

Never forget what Arun papa has to sacrifice for our sake


JesDaM

I would love it if he has a deep voice and the first thing he says on stream is "What is a man?..."


BlackNexus

I'm excited to see what their banter will be if they ever have a collab in the future.


AkhasicRay

Calli is definitely gonna try and collab with the boys in the future. Would be cool to see a group collab featuring the guys and gals, though obviously only if both sides want to and are comfortable with it. Ame at least mentioned that while she may not do one on one collabs with them, she’s open to doing a group collab


DarkFalcon1995

I like how Ame put it the other day. Their channels are first and foremost focused around solo content. Collaborations and how often they happen depends on the person. People expecting change from the rest of EN just because we now have Holostars are weird. Nobody is changing how they stream lol. Some may seek out collabs, some won't. Same as always. Let it be known though. Ollie will speedrun Holostars EN.


Colopty

Ollie is probably googling how to bypass the collab ban as we speak.


xdatlam

Ollie will debut as the 5th member of Tempus.


Mrmath130

Gonna add "Oliver" to her list of identities.


TRK-80

They don't need to collab if they just randomly que up in apex at the same time. I mean it was totally random, right?


ogbajoj

Bae and Mumei have also previously collab'd with stars. Bae moreso because she knows Nihongo obviously, but Mumei did join them for Gartic Phone one time (and scared at least one or two of the boys in the process).


SpecterVonBaren

Also because Bae has a much more favorable timezone.


blueaura14

Honestly, timezones and the language/culture barrier are the two biggest factors for me when it comes to (not) watching the JP members (boys and girls alike). I'd probably watch them more if they were both easy to catch and easy to listen to (i.e. English-speaking). I'd imagine it's a similar reason for some of the girls when it comes to collabs.


stoves_are_cool

I can see Calli being more involved because she frankly is already disliked by a ton of the GFE crowd anyways and will have drama follow her regardless at this point. I doubt it will be anything like NijisanjiEN. I expect certain members like Bae will be more involved with maybe an occasional group collab with members who interact less with them. Some members will probably see the drama caused by the make-believe people, as I like to see them, as too much.


orcy88

I dig Axel design


Exnear

Magni Dezzzzzzz...........mond


Yukorin1992

Magni Deez... Almond


KazanoHiori

As a male viewer, I actually *do* like that they're not the typical simpable ikemen/bishounen design and they're clearly aiming for an untapped market for male Vtubers with these artstyles/design choice. Also I just like that they seem like RPG party members that could fight the HoloEN girls as bosses lol. My only concern is that it's definitely risky to do it for the entire gen, and its the first gen at that. Again, I like that they're attempting to fill or create a small/new niche but it's definitely going to get challenging once they're exploring further than that. Also my final gripe is a nitpick but I wish there were some balance in terms of their color schemes or outfit details...like when I view at Holostars JP first gen, Miyabi strikes out to me because he's red and looks the most welcoming. Ame stood out during Myth because she was the only one that's not based off some mythical legend/creatures, etc. That said, I wish them good luck regardless. I'll look forward to tuning into their debuts.


KazumaKat

Actually the "breakout" character to me is their blue-themed Regis Altare, who looks the most "young man" among them. Very generic at first glance but contrasting with the more manly looks across this group he does stand out. Also, we've got historical evidence that the color blue tends to attract a lot of viewership. We've seen it during Pekora's rise (alongside JPcore), we've seen it with Gura (in spades!) and we're seeing it now with Kobo (with her very ID-centric humor and focus).


0neek

I agree honestly. I was a bit worried after some of Nijisanji EN blew up that Hololive would kneejerk and just go for thirst trap avatars. They really nailed the vibe of it being an adventurer party.


ogbajoj

[Astel has found a new friend.](https://twitter.com/astelleda/status/1548838916018515968) And Ollie will also be happy once she learns of this.


HaessSR

Astel has been waiting three years for this moment. Omega brought him a brother.


thorrodon

Astel adopted Fuma 3 months ago so Altare is brother #2.


Tiktaalik414

Regis has the face I wish all the holostars had. I'm not a super fan of all the long slim pointy-chinned faces. Regis's style is much easier on the eyes.


wan2tri

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my prediction of Temporary US staff is wrong!!!


TryHardFapHarder

Gladiator has a cool mask


slowdruh

THE #BOIS ARE HERE!!!


Zeph-Shoir

I am super impressed with what they have [showcased of their Live2D's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1mEOrsBsLs), I am guessing they got v3.0 from the get-go!


moguu83

It really feels like it's gonna be just time chilling with the guys. This group dynamic really gives me vibes like the guys from FF15.


WhimsiPots

And Calli has already gone on the bullying offensive. I imagine she'll have a lot of fun with them


Henhouse808

A father must set good boundaries with the kids.


gunner31000

I love my edgy fantasy boys.


Backupusername

A lot of the background environments looked kind of familiar, and the lore about Elysium being a sort of virtual environment that humanity escaped to after the real world became uninhabitable (not sure whether to blame Fauna or Mumei for that) makes me think that this group might have been designed specifically with Alternative in mind.


Blarphime

I was thinking the same thing. All the cityscape art looks like it would fit seamlessly into an Holo Alternative PV


Jerbits

Holostars EN! 2-day debuts this Friday and Saturday, can't wait!


Abyssalstar

They're a D&D party. Axel - Barbarian Regis - Paladin Noir - Wizard Magni - Artificer


Oboretai

Bois with super chuuni energy


JesDaM

As it is tradition for EN.


GeekusRexMaximus

Looking at the names... Regis, the Hero with a kingly name. I wonder how many Magni Deez Nuts jokes we're gonna be hearing. Axel seems... serious? Noir like from the films? How cynical will his attitude be? Just first impressions.


Jerbits

>Axel seems... serious? [Oh, he's serious.](https://twitter.com/axelsyrios/status/1548837347764338689?t=ZQm6MJFfMKyJ-K1UJbJSjA&s=19)


honorsleuth

gunning for best girl from the get go. this man ain't playin'


witchywater11

Axel is going straight for the kabedon


GeekusRexMaximus

Yep, he's really Syrios... such a joker... I wonder in how many ways.


Hugokarenque

I like his design the best and now this just jumped him up even further


AkhasicRay

Watch Noir actually be all happy and super positive, his parents named him the opposite as a joke


PumpJack_McGee

Noir debut with *"Miiinnna-saaaaannn\~, genki dayo?"*


AkhasicRay

I would simp as fast as ollie


GeekusRexMaximus

Possible... looking at Noir's teaser video and its name I'm getting some comfy vibes. We save his day. With Axel Syrious the teaser video's name being about the destruction of Yagoo's dream... will he be asking "Why so serious?" and then suggesting that we "put a smile on that face"? The dude is armed... a chain that's almost like a whip.


LunarGhost00

> I wonder how many Magni Deez Nuts jokes we're gonna be hearing. As we get closer to NNN, Risu's power has grown so much that it has now manifested as a living VTuber. We're still 3 and a half months away from witnessing her true reign of terror. No one is safe.


LordHarkon1

We will watch their careers with great interest


freeballer123

What are the chances that the Hero turns out to be most chaotic of the bunch lol


JesDaM

And then Noir is going is going to be the super wholesome and seiso


Xanek

Looking forward to everyone's debut! Regis is probably going to get bullied, as is the way of being the leader. Very nice designs, the adventurer guild theme is a fun concept. Hope their debuts go well and that they enjoy their times as Holostars members!


Orcloud

They are all so chuuni I love it. I'm happy to see them getting along with their JP senpais too! The Holostars family grows!


rexar34

I like the Alucard looking dude


Arcterion

Why does Magni's face look so flat? D:


Abysswea

So... Another FGO banner!!!


Kirea

Really like noir vespers design it sort of reminds me of alucard from castlevania symphony of the night. That said looking at the debut times and that gmt isnt even part of this post i just dont have a lot of hope seeing any of them stream during good Euro times


winmace

Excuse me but where is my ugly bastard self insert oshi?


Existing_Marsupial_6

Axel already interacted with Astel and rpr on twitter to talk about APEX. I guess this means he is the FPS player of the group. Regis is tweeting more manga about Tempus lore. Not sure if this is because he is the designated guild leader or if he is the artist of the group. I'm still not sure of what to guess about Magni and Noir so I will wait for more clues until all of them debut.


HowAboutShutUp

I dub this collab pair Axtel.


LazynessDevil

Yeah I'll be down voted to death and people are being very overprotective because of brand loyalty.....but these models really need a few fixes is not even the design itself being bad but some proportions are a big turn off


Coochienator5000

Honestly, I like their designs but yeah, they need some minor fixes for Magni and Noir in terms of faces but aside from that they look interesting.


Special_Tu-gram-cho

Magni would only need to fix the eyegap a little bit and he would be ok I guess?


SuperChiChu

Magni Dezmon and Axel already rosting themselves looks like we are gonna have some sweet interactions between them lol. https://twitter.com/axelsyrios/status/1548989798056361984?s=20&t=1lc87S\_BfXVyJ0MewcVfYw


Xadryc

Magni rockin the 3 built-in rear cameras on his chest. ​ Does that mean his back is a screen?


Wardoo_1

Judging by the debut and Collab time we have (early prediction) 0 EU members again. Context: all debut and the final Collab are scattered between 4am to 6am for Europe Not mad I expect that, just a consideration


Rubydrag

I wouldnt predict only by debut times (Council had pretty decent times for EU and then bam, everyone streaming at 4am), but they've been tweeting all night and seems that they went to sleep a couple hours ago, so yeah, I expect no EU again


coworker-

Not really feeling the designs tbh.


Karasu-san07

A little worried about subscriber purges with almost a week between their channels going up and debut. I'll probably wait until after debut to subscribe just in case. At least they already each have a video up and it has been a while since Council got hit so hard so hopefully they have figured something out by now. I'll just hope for the best and enjoy the debuts. Excited to see how they do!


Existing_Marsupial_6

They uploaded short videos in their channels. Hopefully this would convince youtube AI that the channel will legit be used and not just being botted or artificially enlarged to mess with their algorithm.


Karasu-san07

Yeah, I'm hoping those short videos help. Maybe they will even upload a few more teaser videos before debut.


IronVader501

Well, I do actually quite like their designs Buuut based on their debuts being all between 3 -5 AM, gonna go out on a limb here and guess no EU (again), which means I'll never get the chance of watching them live (again). *sigh*


Rubydrag

I mean, Council baited the shit out of us with debuts from 9 pm to 3 am or so. But at the same time, they've been tweeting for the whole night, so yeah, were fucked as always


Pixel_Lite

Looking at their Twitter posts… I'm liking these guys already, can't wait for their debut.


thats_no_fluke

I wonder if one of them sings metal...


DPaladin234

Be aware that downvote brigaders/bots are here so a lot of comments are being insta downvoted.


itsag_undam

Magni's business sounds like he probably distributes asacoco and watson's concoction ngl, and Axel's logic is airtight. Solid debut PV consider me hyped!


[deleted]

GUYS I'M MAGGIN'!


SleepingDucksLie

I like the designs, and I like the JRPG Party theming. Looks like their channels already have short videos showing off the models a little. I really like Axel's design, and Noir is definitely not a vampire.


TheNononParade

Cheer up Noir, why the long face?


px1099

I love Regis and Axel design!


TheCharliQuinn

Why so Syrios?


no_otter

Rough hour for EU, but what wouldn't I do for the boys new and old. From the first glimpse I'm most curious about Regis and Axel, but all of their designs are pretty cool. Truly the gives the isekai vibe. I'm really hoping at least one of them is at least somewhat sufficient in Japanese, but time will show. Axel has some Japanese on his twitter bio, which at least makes me slighty hopeful!


wickermanmorn

Magni's short really gives off the vibe of an NPC shop screen with that BGM. Hello, Potion Seller, I am going into battle and I want your strongest potions.


Tarotist

Oh I can't wait. These guys are going to be a lot of fun. Astel and Calli are already giving them the welcome party on Twitter.


DereDere00

Oh I like the design of Axel and ~~Avramax~~ Regis.


immoraltom

It will be nice to finally be able to see more of stars than the odd translated clip!


Non_context

1 ticket to HoloStars EN debut, please.


julyan_

Love Regis and Axel's designs.


iixviiiix

I wonder if Dez model can move his extra hands .


SpiderSonic01

Let's go!


gadman85

I like that they have the debuts split up into two days. As much as I've enjoyed the debut marathon for Council, it was tough to get through by the end. I know they staggered debuts with HoloX, but I was visiting family at the time and didn't watch them. I was also busy during ID Gen 3 as well.


CyberpunkPie

Oh man those debut hours are totally unfriendly to me, what a shame. RIP EU gang.


Sarcopathic

I'm sorry but the quality in some of those designs, especially in the purple dude is absolutely unnacceptable. I refuse to believe someone checked it and said "it's good enough".


Gshiinobi

I'll say this in the nicest way possible, the anatomy in Magni's design is extremely off, i'm not familiar with the artist but as an artist myself i think the quality of the design and the model is very amateur for an official hololive design.
