GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 59 – A Look Back To Falling Into the Hololive Rabbit Hole

It’s been 5 years since Hololive Production was initially founded as a vtuber agency and it’s been 2 years since Hololive English took the internet by storm with their debut and in this week’s newsletter, we talk about the company’s English branch of vtubers.
