Zentreya becomes most-watched English VTuber in Q2 2025, overtakes Ironmouse with subathon boost
Zentreya has claimed the top spot as the most-watched English-speaking VTuber of Q2 2025, according to new data published by Streamscharts. The Twitch streamer reached 4.72 million hours watched, edging past Hololive EN's Koseki Bijou and former leader Ironmouse. Zentreya's rise follows the success of her first-ever subathon in June, which significantly increased her viewer engagement and total watchtime. This surge helped her surpass both Bijou, who recorded 4.54 million hours watched, and Ironmouse, who reached 4.53 million hours during the quarter. Ironmouse led the rankings in Q1 with 5.37 million hours but experienced a drop in Q2, allowing Zentreya to secure the top position. Other creators in the English top five include Mori Calliope and Shylily, who reported 2.7 million and 2.42 million hours watched respectively. In the global VTuber landscape, Japanese talents continue to dominate. Sakura Miko took the number one spot worldwide with more than 12 million hours watched, maintaining an average viewership of 30,000. Kuzuha followed closely, logging the most streamed hours among the global top ten. The data also indicates a growing trend towards multistreaming across platforms. Although YouTube still commands the largest share of VTuber viewership, Twitch is gaining ground, with over 60% of active VTuber channels now streaming on the platform.

Who is Lofi Girl? YouTube's iconic study streamer graduates after 7 years of non-stop studying
Lofi Girl, the beloved animated figure from YouTube's longest-running study stream, has officially graduated. In a TikTok video, the familiar figure swapped her headphones for a graduation cap, raising a laptop that simply read, "THE END." The moment was underscored by audio from the Disney Channel's A.N.T. Farm: "Finally, finished with all my homework. I don't know what I learned, but I'm done learning." The character, central to the "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" livestream, has symbolised calm productivity for millions since 2018. Since its launch, the stream's Ghibli-inspired visuals and mellow beats have been a soothing constant for fans, even weathering copyright takedowns in 2020 and 2022. Created by a reclusive French producer named Dimitri, the Lofi Girl channel—formerly ChilledCow—now boasts over 15 million subscribers. Its impact is more than musical: it helped spark parasocial connections, assisted neurodivergent users with focus, and influenced studies on streaming environments and brain function. Lofi Girl's journey has also supported indie artists like UK-based Mondo Loops, showing how background music can offer front-line opportunities.

Mayi Re' director talks second instalment
Fan-favourite director Meesum Naqvi made an appearance in an episode of YouTube series, Gup Shup with FUCHSIA Magazine, where he answered fan questions such as whether Mayi Ri will have a second season and how Parwarish's script was developed. "When we created Mayi Ri, beautiful things like Aina and Samar happened," Naqvi said. "They gathered an insane fan following." After Mayi Ri, the production house wanted Naqvi to cast Aina Asif and Samar Jafri together again. Mayi Ri delved into the life of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who is compelled to marry her underage cousin. The show unravelled the devastating consequences of child marriages, which can shatter innocent childhoods forever. On the other hand, Parwarish touches upon the challenges of parenthood and turns the spotlight on the younger generation's ache for control and independence. Both shows have captivated viewers with their layered scripts and focus on meaningful societal issues. Naqvi shared that he did not want to make Mayi Ri 2. "What would even be the plot of it, that the couple does a halala and is back together?" he asked. "That would not have made sense." "I made the show against child marriage, and I cannot have negated that just because people wanted the two back together. There will be no Mayi Ri 2 because I have told a complete story," clarified the director. Naqvi still wanted to make something with the two of them together, and Parwarish was created. The director was not fully on board with Parwarish at the start. "Two years after Mayi Ri, I didn't have any ongoing projects. Someone in the production house asked, 'Why not Parwarish?' The script wasn't complete at the time so I was a bit hesitant. The people at the production encouraged me to give it a go. Eventually, I gave it a read and loved it!" Regarding the two main leads, Aina had a bit of scheduling issues but made it work. For Samar's background, the director shared, "We were always sure that Samar would play the character of Wali. The character was designed keeping him in mind, from his music background to his personality traits." Calling upon repetitive storytelling, the director revealed, "We initially considered turning Nooray Zeeshan into one of the heroines and creating a proper love triangle. I didn't do it because I did not want to show cousin marriages on screen. We had seen enough of this in Mayi Ri."
