Except that Gawr Gura sucked (not Coco that is, she did well). She was unfunny and hardly streamed two years past. She lied.

It’s going to result in them having to sign away the rights to their likeness and kill their career if and when they leave the company. I’m sure some CEO will make stacks… But the talent are almost certainly going to be locked into abusive contracts with no way out that keeps their career intact in the same way as Kiryu Coco and Gawr Gura did, for prominent examples
