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

[MeteorImpact]

Youtube just gave me something interesting.

I haven't watched IRyS lately, so I don't know if she's already mentioned a release date or even announced the title yet.

Also according to this clip, VShojo doesn't take a cut from donations - presumably they make their money from merch/events/sponsorships/etc. Maybe rainbow worthy (plus it's from 2020) so take it with a pinch of salt.

I haven't heard anything about that changing, though there was a bit of a kerfuffle when Vshojo took over merch for them as they all already had prior merch agreements, and one of the larger merch sites they used (Mosobox) had to put up a page saying they had no idea what Vhojo was up to after trying to contact them for some time.

ELITE currently in character creation.

EDIT: lmao


EDIT 2: Listening to her live, I can see why she gets dunked on for her Japanese skills lol, she's having trouble reading some kanji and katakana.
EDIT 3: Oh, that's interesting. In Japanese, "maiden" is literally "miko", as in the shrine attendants and her namesake. And oh god, she's immediately attacking the Tree Sentinel. Sasuga Mikochi!
EDIT 4: "How long should I fight Tree Sentinel-sensei?" Goddamnit chat.

r/Hololive - Suisei and Taku Inoue (composer of Stellar Stellar) just liked a tweet from freshly made new account called "Midnight Grand Orchestra". There's a teaser video in it with some familiar characters, familiar font face, and an interesting da

The tweet and Teaser Movie from midnight Grand Orchestra's youtube channel
Before you ask, no, I swear we hoshiyomis ain't stalking suisei 24/7 to found out which tweet she likes
Also, a wild prediction from me, but is it possible that Midnight Grand Orchestra is Suisei & InoTac's singer-songwriter duo unit, similar to Yoasobi?
Of course it could turn out to be nothing and some of us just inhaled too much hopium but I think it's pretty interesting, pls post your thought if this piqued your interest too.
Oh, and obligatory Suisei's 4 Anniv Live : Selfish of a Rough Stone waiting room, where she said she'll announce something on it.

The War Criminal is at work on her latest creation for April Fools.

She's building a recreation of Subaru's duck house complex on the other side of Coco's giant Yagoo.

I know you guys probably 99.99% don't care about Uproar, but I need a second opinion on the ghost boi - he sounds like a woman to me. Like, the male seiyuu who can do a convincing feminine voice don't sound anything like Rio does.

Is Cover branching out into convincing cross-dresser territory ? Are we getting a Zentreya kind of deal, minus the TTS. I know there's a real term for this, I just forgor.

edit - no, it's definitely a woman. Her singing, while good, doesn't fit with a man at all.

SHe looks like an Asian version of Not-Watson

Nolan's far too pure for this hellhole of a site.

His skin starts to burn if he clicks out of this thread into another part of the Farms

Holy shit, I missed that story. Looks like it was only briefly discussed here back on the 16th, the same day as the earthquake in Japan and the non-smol HoloEN 3D performance, so I guess that story got buried. (I had the post open in a tab somewhere but lost it and don't want to find it again.)

So why does Vshojo need VC? Are they somehow not profitable despite having major stars under their brand and taking a decent slice out of all of their donos? I know they're not exactly brain surgeons over there but if they are somehow losing money in this arrangement, they truly are hopeless. Furthermore, what are they going to do with $11 million? What expenses do they have?

The whole thing seems kinda… money-laundering-y. I donno.

Maybe they can actually contract a proper cyber-security person instead of having Nux do it for them.


My rrat is Kovalskia is a morning radio host, and that is why she streams in the indo afternoon time and evening.

Sure sounds like a woman with a lower voice.
The term you may be thinking of is "babiniku", but that's specifically dudes with a female avatar, I don't know if there's a term for the reverse.

Yeah, that was the term. Thanks, friend.

I think that term goes both ways. It can be a female with a male avatar too.

With big vtubers like Gura, the chat is barely worth considering. Just a smear of alphabet soup and emotes on the side of the screen.

Now with Phase Connect streams, the chat is actually fun to read and join in. (At least with the ones I'm familiar with: Pippa, Tenma, and especially Uruka). People actually converse with each other as well as the streamer.

Maybe it's just a size thing, but I feel like the PC talents have a different approach, like they're trying to create a more "social" atmosphere for their viewers. They're more like "hosts" while hololive is more like "performers", if that makes sense.

Of course my experience is limited - it could just be the difference between streams with bigger and smaller audiences.

That's exactly why I'm prioritizing PC streams rather than holo's. I can watch 10 different clips about the same thing the day after, but save for NotTheo, there aren't many prolific PC clippers (I know some of you are here tho)

Pomu fans are also holoEn fans. More news at 11.

Shit take, Pomu should've been a Holo. This is the hill I choose to die on.

This might be gay, so I'm ready for the rainbows, but is anyone planning on doing something for when the rabbit reaches 30k?

If you listen to Mafumafu who's a dude as well. The dude's voice is effeminate when he's talking and singing.

... or, yeah, they could probably be a reverse babiniku.

 

[Jep21]

On the topic of harrasing vtuber roomates: What are your bets that at least one of the audience will show with a Calli cosplay or reference at DDK appearance on that Hawaii convention? Like, come on, it will be the closest you can possibly be IRL to Calli, but im afraid that will end on some yab like Kiara is experiencing.

Some sperg is gonna do something. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because Japan has been closed for over two years now and if it wasn't I would be that some deadbeat would go to Japan and try to find where Mori lives.

Haachama joins to form a joint prank project with her.

Mafumafu makes me think of someone like
Aoi Shouta

or Murase Ayumu

Rio sounds like a woman.

Not-Moona's about to go live.

EDIT: Eating stream. ok. She says she's still sick.

EDIT 2: "Am I gay or straight? What do you think?" - she's teasing chat.

EDIT 3: Talking about her ex-BF, if anyone cares.

Not Moona eating lol? She must be sick, she didn't eat the fried chicken.

I don't think Uyu is a woman, more like he is just that good.
