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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
You're probably right, but I can't help but think that Japan's idol standards are pretty darn high, virtual or not.

And the extremely low probability of getting five pretty girls from the doubtlessly massive amounts of auditions from fat american weeb girls trying to hide behind a cute anime avatar seems to suggest a bias in their choosing. I mean, I was expecting at least one fat when I first started watching hololive, but no.
None of the girls seem to be those online virtue signaler influencers type so I doubt any of them will be fat. Okayu is definitely on the chubby side when she started Hololive, but all those dance lesson trim her down quite a bit same with Matsuri. Once you have a job you love to do, you will start to modify your habit accordingly. If those girls seriously think about their future 3D stage performance then they will naturally commit to get fit. Even Onion get fit in term of stamina she used to not dance and sing much during 3D performance, but her recent mini concert said otherwise.

If what Calli said is right then Suisei works as gravure model so natural fitness is a given (though kinda surprised how that info still did not pin point her roommate face dox from JP autists).

Ame definitely on the chubby side when she first started Hololive base on her roommate last few stream, but her most recent face cam stream show extremely fit.

IMO, you are most likely find plus size roommates on Niji vs Holo since Niji does not fully commit full grandeur 3D aidoru performance like holo (it’s more of an option for their streamers vs something expected).

Even Luna, the famous zero stamina baby, is buff enough to carry large filled shopping bag and walk around without losing her breath, surprising both herself and Subaru.
Edit: Time stampped.

Time stamp? I doubt Suisei actually have time to hold a side job, let alone one that show her face when she was super secretive about her real life (a few day ago she outright refuse the possibility of having a hand cam stream like others). I think Callie mean Suisei is a natural beauty and trendy, which other members had mention several time on multiple occasion.
Edit: Found the clip. She specifically mention "She's fashionable and beautiful like I imagine how she would be." Not a word about her working as a model unless it isn't clipped.

Wait, what? Why would Calli talk about things Suisei's doing IRL?

@kadmckool english, motherfucker, do you speak it?

On another note, Ollie vanished on 08.12 and left a message she might (hopefully) return after a week, so tommorow I'll spend my entire day looking for the zombie, just in case.

It's a single unsubstantiated rumor from one /vt/ rumor mill wannabe, I wouldn't put too much faith into it yet. The only way I would take it seriously is if she actually said she felt out of place or she wanted to officially belong to a group instead of being a solo act. But how would that work? Cram her into Gen 5? Gen 6? If they made her official JP, she still would be an outlier. I think she works fine as she is, being a go-between for all the branches
If she joined Gen0
1) her main stream hours are JP timezone friendly, most of her 700k+ fans are outside of this, she'd have to ajust her schedule which would put her at competition segments with her senpais
2) her main streaming language is english, she'd effortlessly switch to jp but I get the impression she is more comfortable in EN
3) would allow her an opportunity to 3D debut for real which is what her main mission is

If she stayed as Project Hope
1) would continue to grow as she has thus far
2) would continue to collab with both EN and JP, as she has so far
3) would continue to be hindered by hololive's inability to find a 3D debut solution for their off-island talents

The only thing I can think might happen is IRyS get to debut her 3D first as we know that AZKi contract with INNK is about to lapsed and there’s no confirm she will transfer to Holo or she will retire to focus more on her family and roommate solo career.

I can see the rrat has some ground as IRyS stand in as replacement for AZKi. Plus like people above said that majority of IRyS fan are still predominantly EOP and that’s include her old fan base which chat is still almost 9:1 EN to JP ratio even if she streamed in JP prime time or PST prime time.

It’s might not be completely 100% JP unless IRyS go for those juicy JP simps which I’m not against life hustle. I think it’s more on how INNK might starting to be the main producer for her instead of Hololive (she had been at studio recording a lot lately after all). Plus even if she’s the first to get 3D no one will find it weird since she’s by herself as Vsinger. Though It kinda suck if she did not get any full English original songs in the future for sure plus new YouTube DMCA are such pain in the ass that she probably not going to songs much English songs in unforseeable future.
 
Good God, how many hours in total has it been now? At this point I only watches her Pokemon streams just so I don't want to miss the moment she catches the shiny
I'm waiting for the moment when she catches the shiny and resets out of muscle memory.

If you want to go back and read through the thread, just use the highlight feature. Or just contribute to it like a normal person and search if you think something might already have been brought up. Clock stickers aren't the end of the world.
Adding to this, people do answer questions. From what I've seen you (general you) only get flak if it seems like you only want to talk about old dox or old drama, or ask about things that happened within the last 10 highlights (not even pages).

Would 3) be a problem though? If they really wanted to give her a 3D debut before the rest of EN they could just say it's because she's Project Hope.

There's probably a code between the ENs that we know nothing about. Also we have no clue how their (predominantly) inept managers would handle it. Upper management at holo is still japanese, a fastidiously assbackwards and byzantine business culture.

I wish Luna would speak more normally/naturally like in this clip (it's twitter space right?). At least it sounds like that's more like her daily voice when she's not playing her streamer persona. But it is such a treat listening how close the two got, it heals my cold, cynic heart.
What was the rrat why Luna and Matsuri don't hang out anymore (just the two of them. no bigger collab)? Did Matsuri molested her like the predator she is and scared her off?

Have some Viking Gura animation
 
At this point Cover can just make the EN 3D debut from their own homes. We've seen indie vtubers with amazing models being able to do 3D streams effortlessly (Melody being a prime example).
Sure the entire group can't be together physically but I'm sure they can make it happen. The smol 3D streams show that they're more than capable.
 
There's been a change of plans
She decided to do a celebratory Karaoke inside.
Also, Uto is CUTO
Aikotoba III, Vampire, All I Want For Christmas Is You, Utopia, and Fansa were my favorites. From what I can tell she didn't sing Self Control (from what I can tell because I had to do something while she was singing) but I still went back and favorited the MV.

Chat is disabled for vod so I had to screencap this way. Tenshi says she's indie, maybe rrats die. She doesn't want to go corpo and wants to continue at most simply working with companies sometimes.

Given what happened with the last company, can't blame her.

You are a big corp with some of the most valuable and recognizable talent in the industry, you're (hopefully) spending your best money for models and rigging, only for having them debut on some random scuffed stream without all the bells and whistles that made your name as a corp recognizable?
The delayed 3d debut is going to be a big deal and a big cash grab for everybody
 
Has there been any update on our favorite fox after she hurt herself yesterday?

Seems like a dumb rumor but lets play along....

I feel like they could already do that without a problem but they dont do it because of the whole senpai/kouhai optics. If the kouhai gets 3D before the senpais do it wouldn't "look good". Switching her to JP would rid her of that whole deal even though its only based on a technicality since she is still a Kouhai. I'm trying to think like a dumb Japanese manager and not like an actual normal person. Doubt anyone gives a shit and all of the EN girls have already mentioned that they won't do 3D unless they can all be together.

Irys's usually streams late night for US viewers which is at around mid afternoon for JP. Switching her schedule up to a more prime-time JP schedule will mean taht her EN viewership will go down drastically and for the most part EN is the bulk of her viewers. Doing that will also probably cut into the EN collabs she has been doing (which have all been great). Could she be a replacement for Azki? Sure. Do I see it happening? Nah, not really. Is there any evidence to point that Azki will just quit other than her contract being over soon? She can just renew or change contract to join as a standard girl. Doubt Cover would want to lose her since she's been with them for so long.

Yes, that would be optimal but I think they want to limit 3d to be an in-studio type of thing. Special occasions and collabs only.

Also I was watching this earlier at work. Botan, Luna, Choco, Subaru collab. Really funny. Already got a few translated clips around. Whole stream consisted of Botan dying of laughter, Subaru deathscreaming and Luna and Choco whining about constantly failing.

Thank you all for the hopium, hopefully.you are right and it was just rrat, but whay struck me is In remember Calli commenting recently how "sad" it was that iRyS wasn't part of any particular gen when a chat member brought if up but of course her comment didn't give anything asay, just mentioned how she gets that feeling and they all try to make her feel as comfortable as possible whoever she's collabing with.

Idk what her thoughts on it are for herself but I think she's in a more advantageous position as it is anyway - she can embrace the best of both EN and JP, the bulk of her viewers are EN but she is fluent enough in JP to be comfortable working with any of the other talents at any time.
