@chikorita157 It’s such a goofy show. Reminds me of the amazing movie hackers that it’s 50 dead on perfectly real and 50 just bonkers fun.

Them all living close by makes sense with Tokyo, but it’s such a different experience from what I’m used to with the lot of them spread out. It’s still a bit odd seeing the “real” character actually look like the VTuber.

I think that’s a lost opportunity. Because more often than not there’s a pretty big discrepancy to be honest. With a few exceptions (Sinder’s cosplay is crazy spot on). Plus a big want to stay anonymous. Sometimes for not at all fun reasons.

Also it’s fun how everything is super accelerated. That new model reveal would have taken hours normally :) That and they are focusing super hard on the lewd stuff.

Sure there are lewd stuff, and there are some full on 18+ streamers (Project Melody for example). But even they tend to be pretty wholesome on average.

Also I wish they would have spent more on the VTuber models and used that view more often. Had the VAs done that whole thing. Feels we are missing out on that aspect. It flies by super fast.

(And no 3D VTuber? We are missing a genre!)

I will watch the rest of the season. Funny stuff:)

Agreed, and it’s interesting how they incorporate Live2D models and such. That said, I don’t really watch many VTubers when I started this anime.

That said, if everything is in Live2D, it wouldn’t be a full anime, right?

3D VTubing is probably harder to pull off, needing VR headsets (or even an Apple Vision Pro) or a full motion capture suit to make it work, but it would be interesting though.

@chikorita157 I wouldn’t expect the whole show to be in VTuber mode, but right now it’s such a tiny part of it that it just flashes by. I think it would help the show if these scenes were 10-20 seconds instead of 2-5 seconds.

Filian (and others but she does it best) already streams 3D only and she’s using that 3D to the fullest to say the least. She uses the Valve stuff. With trackers etc so it’s fully body and everything.

I’m talking flips and the whole nine yards. Well worth spending 5 mins to check out her shenanigans just to see the current state of 3D. I honestly wonder if she used to do gymnastics or similar.

Said it before, but the show feels like a passion project. Feels like they both care and all watch VTubers.

It’s nice that the show isn’t a giant stupid corporate stunt to appeal to the kids. Seen so much of that over the years.
