General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

I mentioned Saruei when she debuted back in August. Seems she's had steady growth since, and managed to pull together a pretty impressive 3D debut just yesterday.

Not to diminish the work of Hololive and the other corporate vtubers, but it's impressive just how quickly indies can work when every new idea doesn't have to pass through management first.

Today she's streaming some VR using her new model if you want to see it in action:

I mean, JP is still a bigger market than EN, so it's not that surprising that she has more subscribers. Just compare the concurrent viewers of Gura to people like Marine and Pekora who are usually streaming during prime time with 10+ other members. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that it's a good indicator of the market size.

Yeah, I think Gura's high sub count kinda blinds people to the fact that Japan is still the main market for vtubers. Look at the highest watched or superchatted vtubers on any given week and they'll probably be mostly Japanese unless there's a particular event or special thing going on in HoloEN.

Take 2 in 20 minutes!

Why are these all over half a stream of them talking about the outfit. Can they not just start the stream with the outfit on. When i said they should just put a picture of it and be done with it earlier, i didn't mean it literally, yet here we are. Only a picture for an hour. And the actual outfit in the last few minutes

Then the stream would be 20 min

Increased audience engagement when you're talking about things the audience has submitted, sets up a hype train in advance, etc.

I don't think the standard format with the outfit guess review is a terrible idea in isolation, but 5 of the same thing over the space of a few days is just too much....

 

[Thomas Talus]

That huntress one was neat.

 

[Swingletonthesimpleton]

Then the stream would be 20 min

Then they should show the outfit, and then play a game with it on afterwards. Not spend over an hour talking about it. I don't even know how you can spend an hour talking about the same outfit but they found a way.

Extending it keeps the viewer counts high for longer and results in more supas.

A large portion of the viewers leave the moment any outfit is fully revealed. They don't care about what happens afterwards, so showing the outfit in the first minute would just drop the viewers to regular stream levels even if she plays games with it.

Kiara is really dragging this out

 

[Chronic Lurker]

I am not a big fan of the blue feather shawl/stole, everything else seems fine though.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

she looks very "lady" like. like the fluffy hair. that headpiece looks dumb though.

oh nice, she has a mask.

 

[Bingeamint]

Thats a lot of extras. It quite in ya face, like literally.

Is it me or is way better without all the extras, looks simple yet smart. I dunno I'm quite a simplistic person

 

[gregeoryL]

Dragged out reveal aside, I actually like her dress quite a bit. The colors are pretty striking.

 

[Thomas Talus]

Hard agree.

 

[Renmai]

Too much extra shit but at least she can take them off individually.

 

[Chronic Lurker]

I like the wing head piece, think its better with out the tiny chef hat ear feathers, and mask.

 

[Present Mouse]

Kiaras new outfit looks pretty. Feel like that hairs gonna give some artists a stroke. The rooms also really neat. Also, I love that all Kiara outfits must now come with a pacifier.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

She’s got a very classy look to her with this outfit. Between this and long hair Ame, its kinda crazy what a hairstyle change can do.

 

[Takodachi]

Why does the model feels weird.
Too bright, as if it was drawn in a slightly different art style, cant quite put my finger on what it is.

The outfit is pretty tho
