Hololive Vtuber Houshou Marine Hits 4 Million Subscribers
Hololive Vtuber Houshou Marine Hits 4 Million Subscribers Hololive Vtuber Houshou Marine hit 4 million subscribers on YouTube on May 5, 2025 . This makes her the first Japanese Vtuber to hit that milestone. The second most popular Japanese member of the company in Japan is Hoshimachi Suisei with 2.72 million, while the Nijisanji member with the most subscribers is Kuzuha with 1.97 million. Her stream to reach that figure and celebrate was still live as of 10:20am ET on May 5, 2025.  Here’s the official stream Marine had running as she hit that hallmark and surpassed it. https://www.youtube.com/live/X4-FNbcsuHY Just ahead of the new hallmark, Marine celebrated another occasion. The performer released a new original song, complete with anime music video by Production HASU, on April 29, 2025. That track is called “A Horny Money World,” and you can watch it below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_opjVlYhi4 This means that Houshou Marine got closer to hitting a record number of subscribers set by now-graduated Hololive English Vtuber Gawr Gura. When Gura graduated on May 1, 2025, she had 4.74 million subscribers on YouTube. As mentioned earlier, in third place is Suisei, with 2.72 million people following her as of May 5, 2025. Usada Pekora came in just after with 2.7 million as of that date. The fifth most popular Hololive Vtuber, in terms of people following her, is Kobo Kanaeru with 2.67 million.  Houshou Marine is now at 4 million subscribers, and it is currently unknown what sort of special celebration or Hololive Vtuber merchandise could be released to mark the occasion.

ReSetna – Review
ReSetna – ReviewCroatian indie studio Today’s Games may be a newcomer, but the team behind it certainly has an impressive background. Individual team members have worked on games like League of Legends, The Talos Principle, SCUM and Serious Sam. The studio has released its debut title, ReSetna, on PC and Switch, with PlayStation and Xbox versions planned for later this year. Given the track record that Today’s Games proudly boasts on their website, our expectations were high for the game. Does ReSetna live up to them? Story In ReSetna’s post-apocalyptic world, humanity has gone extinct, and the robots that now populate Earth are facing a similar fate. A virus is turning robots into mindless killing machines. The eponymous ReSetna is a robot that is trying to eradicate this virus. There isn’t a whole lot more to ReSetna’s story, at least not without players going out of their way to dig up minimal bits of lore from codexes. This isn’t a very narrative-driven game, and it’s up to players to decide how much they are willing to indulge in the barebones narrative. Graphics The post-apocalyptic setting of ReSetna is rendered across seven distinct biomes, allowing for a good amount of visual variety and textures. The 2.5D visuals are on the simpler side, but because the cast consists of robots, this isn’t something that distracts. That said, none of the character designs are particularly memorable, not even the bosses or ReSetna herself. As far as performance goes, ReSetna is a bit of a mixed bag. While we didn’t experience any issues with lag or stutter, there were instances where textures were blurry or muddy instead. Sound Sound effects do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to creating ReSetna’s soundscape, with the metallic footsteps of our protagonist and the satisfying sounds of clashing weapons adding depth to the action. Voice acting is notably absent, though one could ask why robots would communicate with one another audibly. The atmospheric music fits the game’s overall sci-fi vibe, but it isn’t particularly memorable. One notable issue we had with the music is that the volume jumps up significantly during boss battles. It’s annoying enough that we had to adjust our audio whenever we ran into a boss, and then had to revert to the previous settings after the fight. Gameplay We’re certainly no strangers to Metroidvania games, as we’ve taken a look at plenty of them in recent years. We’re not at the point where the genre is oversaturated yet, but with so many contenders, an entry in the genre needs something unique to stand out from the crowd. In ReSetna’s case, that’s a challenge, as the game doesn’t have a hook or gimmick. Instead, this is an old-school, straightforward Metroidvania. The game makes a great first impression too, with responsive controls, snappy combat, and good enemy variety. In all honesty, had ReSetna completely nailed the execution of its back-to-basics gameplay, we’d have called its approach refreshing. However, the game misses its mark in some areas. ReSetna’s lack of a hook already makes it difficult for the gameplay to grab your attention, and the lack of polish makes it difficult to keep it. To be fair, ReSetna still gets a lot of things right. There is a decent amount of variety across the seven biomes, both when it comes to the environments as well as the different enemy robots that ReSetna has to deal with. The signature sense of progress associated with obtaining new tools to overcome obstacles is certainly present here. While ReSetna’s means of traversing her surroundings starts out basic, soon enough, you’ll be double-jumping and air-dashing. Likewise, her combat prowess expands with shielding, parrying, and dodging, as well as new weapons and equipable passive skills. It’s nothing that you haven’t seen before, but ReSetna understands what makes a good Metroidvania tick. The game can be brutally difficult at times, especially when it comes to the lengthy boss battles, but this is by design, and the game doesn’t feel unfair or unbalanced. The issues with the game lie with things that aren’t by design. There is quite a lot of jank here. You can get stuck in a level by dodging at the wrong place, for example. Hitboxes don’t always seem accurate. The interface for equipping skills isn’t very user-friendly. It’s a small subset of glitches and less-than-ideal design. Individually, each of these isn’t a big deal, but they do add up and harm the overall feeling of enjoyment. It’s not unreasonable to expect that these issues will be patched out over time. At the time of writing, though, there are so many other Metroidvania options out there that don’t ask you to deal with these rough edges. That makes it difficult to justify picking up ReSetna in its current state. It’s a shame, really, because when ReSetna picks up the pace and is good, then it’s really good. It’s not the longest Metroidvania either, with a runtime of around 15 to 20 hours, depending on whether or not you’re looking to find every secret. That’s a decent amount of playtime for the €19.50 RRP. If you can hold out for a patch or two, then that price tag seems more than fair. Conclusion As it stands, ReSetna isn’t a game that should be at the top of your list if you’re in the market for a new Metroidvania. It’s not that this is a bad game in and of itself. However,  there are enough minor issues here to spoil the overall experience. This is a game to keep an eye on though, and maybe check back on in a month or two. We wouldn’t be surprised if the final kinks are ironed out just before the game’s debut on other consoles.

Hyte Shared Metaphor: ReFantazio Y70 PC Case and Keycaps
Hyte Shared Metaphor: ReFantazio Y70 PC Case and Keycaps Hyte and Atlus announced a Metaphor: ReFantazio collection that includes a Y70 PC case, set of keyboard keycaps, keychain, wallscroll, and three different desk pad mousepads. Pre-orders are open, though the official Amazon storefron t doesn't show them yet. However, it is important to also note that Hyte products are subject to US President Donald Trump tariffs. As a result, the company announced price increases due to the new duties and Product Director Rob Teller said on Reddit that US new pre-orders that aren’t open are paused and headed to other regions. In the case of the Y70 Metaphor: ReFantazio PC case, it costs $299.99 before taxes and any additional fees. To go along with the game’s themes and color schemes, the case itself is mahogany. However, the whole cast doesn’t appear on it. The main character, Leon Strohl da Haliaetus, Eiselin Burchelli Meijal Hulkenberg, and Heismay Noctule show up on the glass panels. The first 500 pre-orders include the matching wall scroll, according to the product page .  The Metaphor: ReFantazio keycaps are also designed to match the Y70. The keys are mahogany with gold letters and iconography based on the game. A Gallica silhouette appears on the enter key, as does the avatar’s sword. Other keys feature things like the teeth monsters and the game’s logo. That set is expected to ship in August 2025, and its price before fees is $109.99 . The other items in the set are more straightforward. Here’s the list: Acrylic keychain that ships in July 2025 - $19.99 . Desk pad in three different designs that ship in July 2025 - $29.99 each . Wall scroll that ships in July 2025 - $19.99 . Hyte shared multiple photos of the different items, which you can see in the gallery below: Images via Hyte and Atlus Here’s the official trailer showing off the Metaphor: ReFantazio Y70 PC case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A3yD-EJ2Oo Hyte frequently releases PC cases, keycaps, and accessories based on games. One of the major 2023 releases from the company involved a Persona 3 Reload collection . In 2024, a Honkai: Star Rail set based on Silver Wolf showed up. There are also many Hololive items as well.

Hololive Vtuber Merchandise Prices Hit by Trump Tariffs
Hololive Vtuber Merchandise Prices Hit by Trump Tariffs Hololive Vtuber fans online started sharing receipts showing how tariffs applied by US President Donald Trump affected merchandise costs, and Myth member Calliope Mori even spoke about the situation. Geek Jack, a company for selling merchandise based on the performers, also announced it is suspending US orders with Chinese products affected by those duties. One of the most notable reports came from StarlightIdol on social media , as that’s one that prompted Hololive Vtuber Calliope Mori to show up in the replies and comment on the Trump tariffs effect on merchandise. The individual was going tp purchase the Calliope’s Birthday Celebration 2025 $80 Underworld University Sweater and  Eliabeth Rose Bloodflame Birthday Celebration 2025 $30 Lit Top Innit t-shirt. Before the new duties, the price with shipping and taxes would have been $155.12. After the new $201.17 Trump tariffs, the price jumped to $356.29. Calliope then showed up to apologize and express that all she wanted was for fans to enjoy her music and streams. Here’s that exchange: https://twitter.com/moricalliope/status/1918267335917617276 Mistfist on social media shared the cost of the $100 complete set of Fuwamoco 1 Million Subscribers Celebration items. That is normally $100 in the story, with $42.57 shipping and $8.55 in taxes. The Trump tariffs on their own ended up being $190.41, bringing the overall cost to $341.53.  As for Geek Jack, it announced it is temporarily holding orders people in the US. This only applies to ones that would include items made in China. People who would still want those orders and be okay with paying the Trump tariff could contact the company directly with their order number to get it sent. However, those willing to wait won’t incur any additional fees.  This is one of many effects of the US Trump tariffs inflicted on China and countries worldwide. Square Enix and Good Smile Company paused pre-orders. Also, we saw the cost of the Xbox Series X consoles and controllers go up.

Review: Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth Is a Short Mega Man-like
Review: Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth Is a Short Mega Man-like Holo Indie games based on Hololive Vtubers are at their best when it feels like anyone could go into a title, have fun with it, and not feel excluded based on what’s going on. Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth, on the other hand, pushes that a little. While it is pretty approachable in terms of gameplay, due to being a run-and-gun platformer and Mega Man -like, some gameplay decisions and a heavy focus on the Holoearth Hololive Alternative lore with no explanation keep it from being as approachable as other projects based on Cover’s performers.  Okay, this is going to get complicated for a second. Bear with me.  Shirakami Fubuki is a Hololive Vtuber whose lore involves her being a white fox. She’s often paired with fellow Hololive Gamers unit member Ookami Mio, who is a black wolf. So this is a game about Fubuki, in a way, with major appearances from Mio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpPfmKHuStM&ab_channel=PhoenixxGames%2F%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%82%BA Except it isn’t just those two. It’s the Yamato Phantasia versions of those two individuals that are part of the Holoearth and Hololive Alternative projects. In that storyline, Fubuki and Mio are essentially gods who help protect Yamato from corruption. The two end up being tasked with erasing corruption and protecting people. While usually they are limited to that realm, the events in Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth involve other potential alternate realities being affected, with the Vtubers from the companies being notable, notorious, or godly figures in need of assistance or salvation from an unexpected corruption. Once you really get into it, the story doesn’t matter much. But there’s still an expectation that you know exactly who these people are, why it matters that Vtubers are in specific locations, and such. This is a Holo Indie game where you will miss out without prior knowledge about the performers involved and their official backstories. This ties into the Mega Man -like element of Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth. While the first stage sees Fubuki summoned into action to help Yamato, the first boss is actually a version of Houshou Marine. When Marine gets sucked through a portal after Fubuki saves her (by beating her up), we end up tasked with going to multiple stages set in various worlds with different Hololive Vtuber bosses in each one. Every one of them involves small and large enemies, usually with projectile attacks, as we have Fubuki run, jump, use special weapons, find collectibles for certain attacks, and get through 2D stages. While her default weapon is the Murasamemaru melee sword, she does get additional types of attacks that allow for some ranged options. Images via PEPOSOFT Those other weapons are the other way in which Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth feels very Mega Man- like. Like in Capcom’s series, defeating a boss means getting a weapon associated with them. It’s a neat concept, and I love when games do that! However, I feel it’s a missed opportunity here. There is no strategy to it. So while these can be helpful when getting through stages, it doesn’t mean we have a situation where after beating Marine, you should really go to the Frozen Theme Park because Yukihana Lamy is weak against Captain Marine’s Gun. You can tackle any stage in any order because there is no recommended progression that makes you feel smart for ensuring you faced certain folks at specific times.  Another shame is that Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth is so short. The good part is, it doesn’t wear out its welcome. Every one of the six locations does feel unique. The spritework is good. But… there are only six stages really! And six major boss fights. (The last one is quite substantial, however!) I spent three hours with it, as I felt like I needed to go through quite a bit to ensure I saw it all, but I honestly probably would have been done in about two hours.  I will say that I appreciate the update that launched back on April 18, 2025 . I did feel the boss difficulty was a bit much in some spots and dropped down to easy during this review. Since then, PEPOSOFT did some rebalancing that made it more manageable. I also found the Boss Rush mode and gave it a try, which helps mitigate the fact that the game is so short a tad. The team mentioned an Extra mode and new game plus option are also in development, which again will help. I’m a fan of Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth , especially if I drop down to the easy difficulty level to really enjoy myself. It’s an entertaining Mega Man- like game wearing a Hololive Vtuber skin. I do think it is at its best if someone really enjoys both that type of game and Cover’s performers . If not, then the length, fact that the weapons from each boss don’t feature any strategic element, and injection of Holoearth and Hololive lore with no explanation could be too high a barrier to jump. Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth is available on PCs, and a demo is out. The post Review: Fubuki: Zero in on Holoearth Is a Short Mega Man-like appeared first on Siliconera .

Watch the Last Gawr Gura Concert and Hololive Myth Streams
Watch the Last Gawr Gura Concert and Hololive Myth Streams On April 30, 2025, Gawr Gura took part in a number of streams ahead of her graduation from Cover, and among them was a Graduation 3D Mini Live concert and Hololive Myth relay series of streams with Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi, and Ninomae Ina’nis. The series of four streams led up to the just-under-30-minute performance. Once it was finished, she shared her last message as Gura on social media , which was “Keep swimming! Always!” Gura’s last stream ended up being the Graduation 3D Mini Live. It lasted for about 26 minutes. She started with a cover of Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Ride on Time.” That was followed by her first original song, “Reflect.” Then, there was something of a medley of other notable performances from her like “Tokyo Wabi-Sabi Lullaby,” from the HoloHoneyGaoka High School Originals album, the “Shinkiro” duet she did with Houshou Marine only solo, her singing part of the “Myth or Treat” Hololive Myth song, and some of the hololive 4th fes group performance “Our Bright Parade.” She sang her last original song “Ash Again” after that. She closed things out with her final statement to fans, then showed herself in her “room” scene rearranging all five of her Hololive English Myth chibis. As for the Hololive Myth relay series of streams with Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi, Ninomae Ina’nis, and Gawr Gura in honor of her graduation, things began with the quartet going through Minecraft on Calliope’s channel. Then, they went to Kiara’s channel to play Jackbox games like Quiplash and Trivia Murder Party . An Ina stream of Gang Beasts came up after that. That closed out with the four playing Uno on Gura’s channel.  The last ten minutes of the Uno stream featured the four remaining Vtubers in Hololive English Myth talking about the graduation, talking about their time with Gawr Gura, thanking fans and each other, and all sharing one last time. You can see that below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5XrQD2RkUw Gawr Gura is now no longer with Hololive English, though Cover confirmed it will sell her Dino Gura Vtuber and Ebi-chan shrimp plush one last time in the near future.

Sony Terminated Contract for VEE Vtuber Alba Sera
Sony Terminated Contract for VEE Vtuber Alba Sera Sony Music Entertainment Japan announced that it terminated the contract of Alba Sera, a Vtuber who debuted with VERSE and transferred to VEE. Her activities ended as of April 30, 2025, though she made one last statement on social media in both Japanese and English. The company cited her going against policy, and noted it will stop selling her merchandise and accepting fan letters on June 30, 2025.  Here is the full statement that Alba Sera shared on her official social media account :  “I think I have surprised you and saddened you with my suddenness. I am truly sorry.  “I would like to thank Kane Mama, Labyrinth Explorers, everyone who supported my activities, all the creators and activists who helped me in my activities, everyone who knew me and got involved with me, thank you for everything you have done for me. “If I have been able to stimulate your daily lives even a little, I believe that my existence was worthwhile. I sincerely apologize that this is the way I have to leave you. And thank you for all the love.” Alba Sera debuted as a Vtuber back in October 2021 with VERSE, before that agency was absorbed into Sony’s VEE in April 2024. She’s been incredibly active since then and is known for her original songs and covers. In fact, she just performed a cover of the Kagamine Len Vocaloid song by *Luna, “Attract Light,” on April 29, 2025. Holostars member Banzoin Hakka shared that on social media , and you can hear that below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEWsq1QB7WI Her last original song and music video was “ Frontier ,” which appeared in September 2024. You can watch that below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIfo3POnESs This is one of many graduations, terminations, and departures that happened in the Vtuber space in April 2025 and May 2025. Hololive Vtubers Nanashi Mumei and Gawr Gura both left Cover. Nijisanji English lost Fulgur Ovid and Ike Eveland . Matara Kan will leave VShojo and continue as an indie. Former Production Kawaii Vtuber Lua Asuka , who went indie, will graduate.  Vtuber Alba Sera is now no longer with Sony Music Entertainment Japan and performing, following the contract termination on April 30, 2025.

Watch the Last Gawr Gura Graduation Mini Live Concert Today
Watch the Last Gawr Gura Graduation Mini Live Concert Today Gawr Gura announced her final concert performance, as the Hololive Vtuber will hold a Graduation Mini Live on YouTube at 5pm PT/8pm ET on April 30, 2025.  Her last day with the company is May 1, 2025.  Details about the Gawr Gura Graduation Mini Live concert are quite slim. She didn’t note how long it will be or how many special guests might appear to sing with her. In the case of Nanashi Mumei’s last concert , it mostly featured her performing solo. This also means we don’t know if she’ll perform her last original song that she released in April 2025, “ Ash Again. ” Here’s the placeholder for that final performance: https://www.youtube.com/live/EAdh6m3E3UI Ahead of this upcoming concert performance, we saw two notable, recent streams from Gawr Gura ahead of her graduation. First, she appeared on Kiara Takanashi’s Holotalk, and she performed an unarchived karaoke stream after that. You can watch that “talk show” appearance below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ash9FVn3trc Kiara also featured Mumei on Holotalk ahead of her graduation, with the two talking about various topics and sharing memories. As a reminder, this marks the second Hololive English Myth departure. Amelia Watson left and stepped back to an affiliate role with the company in September 2024 . However, because she is an affiliate, this means she can return sometimes. She showed up for Kiara’s recent Kiara & Friends: Hip Cover Song Spring Concert to sing a song with her and Koseki Bijou. She showed up at the about the 11 minute mark . Vtuber Gawr Gura will graduate from Hololive on May 1, 2025. The three remaining members of Myth, the first English generation of Vtubers Cover launched, are Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi, and Ninomae Ina'nis.

Dino Gawr Gura Plushie Will Return to Hololive Store
Dino Gawr Gura Plushie Will Return to Hololive Store Cover announced that alongside the graduation of Gawr Gura, the Hololive Official Shop will once again sell the Dino Gura plushie and Ebi-chan plushie. The former is a stuffed animal of the Vtuber in a green dinosaur outfit. The latter is a mascot character that would appear alongside her sometimes in streams and merchandise. While both aren’t available yet, the company noted they’ll relaunch the items “soon.” As a reminder, it’s been quite some time since the Dino Gura plushie appeared, as it appeared alongside Gawr Gura Birthday Celebration 2022 items in the Hololive Official Shop . To give an idea of how much it might cost when it returns, it was $25 back then. It stands at almost eight inches tall (200mm). The Ebi-chan plushie is a slightly newer piece of Hololive merchandise. That was part of the Gawr Gura Birthday Celebration 2023 . Since it is a keychain stuffed toy and smaller, it cost $15 originally. It is rather long though, as it is almost five inches (125mm).  Here are the official photos of the items: Image via Cover If you do decide to buy either item from the Hololive Official Shop and live in the US, note that the Donald Trump tariffs will be in effect. As a result, the cost could be 10% to 145% higher than you would expect, depending on whether or not the item is made in China. The official storefront noted what to expect from price increases as a result of that tax. Gawr Gura will graduate from Hololive English Myth on May 1, 2025, and her Dino Gura and Ebi-chan plushie toys will show up again in Cover’s online storefront in the near futiure.
