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

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
I predict that management will be morons again and release a female EN gen like a month after these guys, stealing any thunder they might have gotten and dooming them to obscurity, the only people who will bring them up will be a couple fags in this thread taking jabs at the holos, concernfagging and tribalfagging like usual.
 
Shiina (the seamstress) is probably the one I like the most out of the new gen even if her clothes design was a huge debuff for me. She's a good entertainer, played games I like so far, can banter pretty well and is a great singer. Airi the pon dog has a good sense of comedy from what I've seen too and I have yet to find the time to watch Rie after her debut flop (supposedly she got better) - but time is my enemy. I'm not exactly interested in the others at this point in time.
Pippa is a bit of a thread mascot because she lurks here (and on 4ch) and has a significant interest in lolcows. I don't watch her too often anymore ever since the new viewer flood after she obliterated the gunt appeared - her chat took a nosedive in quality. Other than that, she can have surprisingly decent and candid opinions on various things and is a shitposter at heart.
Rie is also streaming during the dead of night in the America's, and early morning Europe, as an English speaking streamer. She'll unfortunately be a perminantly VOD streamer for me if this keeps up. Which is a shame because she seems good.





Basically agreeing with lakyus here. Seamstress and Pon Wolf are the two biggest standouts for me. See my above thoughts for Rie. And Panko is supposed to be a comfy kusogaki. Haven't had time to watch her yet.

Erina and Remi just didn't snag me that hard. I'll have to re-watch them again in some time to reevaluate.

In the mean time, have some Awoooo
See above for my love of Pon Wolfo

Edit: more info

Expressed interest in streaming legend of dragoon

Fanbase now called Airiheads much to her protest

Got hired cause she is an adorable airhead who kicked her computer shutting it off 5 times during her interview

On debut she joked her whole schedule would be that old 3d pinball game and chat was unironically hyped resulting in her playing it during debut 2.0 and before starting cooking Sim the next stream seems to be the beginnings of tradition with the goal of topping her high score every stream

Model is QT Af

Seems super unwilling to coomerbait (not a concern for me but maybe for you

Wants to try fire emblem

Great Singer her king cover in debut 2.0 was great

also sang Ahoy in debut 1.0

I think thats all i got

Edit 2: oh yeah she is fluent in Korean
Must watch:
  • Shiina:
    Dumpling Shirara
    Absolute powerhouse. Great singer (up until now she starts and ends streams with karaoke, like fly me to the moon and the like), potential gremlin, certified hag. Says she's basing her content after Ina. Drew the offical PC chink new year merch and other stuff. Said Pippa is her PC oshi (to which pippa roasted her on stream saying al gentoo members put Michiru as their oshi). Great streamer.
  • Airi: Pon Wolf, a complete airhead who can't have one stream without a minor scuff. Also a hag. Broad taste in mecha anime, good singing voice and very genki overall, also does impromptu karaoke mid stream. Great interaction with chat as well. Played "3d space cadet pinball" on stream for a bet and demanded the viewer to pay up the 5 bucks.
These two have some overlap with pippa's timeslot. Shiina usually starts 2 hours earlier and then raids pippa's stream (yesterday she overlapped for a bit and CCVs dropped). Airi's slot is usually 2 hours into pippa's stream, which might explain any low ccv numbers at the beggining.
The problem with this is, the new girls VODs are pretty much safe, whereas pippa's might get nuked right away making watching her live kinda of a priority (unless you have archivebro's or godzilla's archives) .

Good choices:
  • Rie: Cool streams, doesn't really stick too much to the ojou kayfabe but has shit streaming hours (most likely from west coast). Great game choices so far and good chat interaction.
  • Panko: EU friendly timeslot. Feels like a Y1 gura and mumei mashup, she ends up being more chill than expected. Haven't paid too much attention to her and IIRC she still hasn't played anything on stream.
Seems like everyone is recommending the ponwolf and the seamstress.
Depends in what you like. Gonna try to use Hololive as comparison
Remi - Seems to be playing her kusogaki vampire role without going full coomerbait. Sorta reminds me of Luna with her voice.

Airi - Clumsy and bullyable. Really good low voice when singing. Sorta reminds me of Towa but with a cuter regular talking voice.

Shiina - Despite having the lewdest design she doesn't really go for any coombaiting. Great singer and also the art girl of the gen. Gives me Kanata vibes in that she seems to talk to chat in a somewhat straightforward way.

Erina - Extremely chill with the low/soft mommy voice. Currently the most popular. Her voice reminds everyone of Kronii but her streams seem to be close to Ina's in how chill they are.

Panko - As someone stated before, she gives Gura/Muumei vibes but I can't really say because I haven't really seen much of her. Might be a salty/toxic gamer and I sorta hope she plays up to that.

Rie - She's supposed to play the ojousama role but doesn't seem to be going into it as hard as I originally thought she would. Very sweet voice but as with many of the others I haven't really watched much from her.

Not Gen2 but close:
Lumi - Mostly streams in Twitch and she plays a bunch of strategy games. She is as yab as Pippa

Yuri - Haven't watched much from her other than a few talking streams.
This definitely helped a lot. Thank you!
As for Pippa, a few months after her debut she directly referenced, named the farms, and shouted out "JOSHUA MOON PLEASE COLAB WITH ME" when doing a stream on CWC. She was probably on our radar before hand but I think that cemented her here. One of her mods was a forum member until said member got tragically yeeted after the Guntening. Why should you watch her? If you can dig a terminally online woman who is creative, good with interacting with chat, and prone entertaining outbursts then I think you can get behind her. Unironically I think her best stream was the restaurant ranking one, which I cannot find for some reason and I may have to hit up @Godzilla1984 to see if there's an archive. It was comfy, fun and a lot of good interaction.
I'll try to watch that ranking stream then as an intro to the yabbit.

Seems like I'll be trying out the PonWolf and the Seamstress, but Panko sparked some particular interest. Ofc, the yabbit issa must as the tread mascot.

Also, clip tax:
 
Klutz Clock and penguin gamesmaster starting right now
I am all in for whoever decided council should collab more with the ID crew, specially the new ones
This is like Kaela's 3rd stream today I think


e: Kaela's gamer grub: white rice with chopped oranges on fried chicken
 
Cover, please learn from Nijisanji
They can't because unless Cover literally erects a wall around them, Stars EN can't replicate the 'Cop Rape BDSM Roleplay ASMR' meta that put Luxiem on the map. Mind you there's a lot of viable avenues for stars EN but emulating niji is definitely not one of them.
 
hopefully they do better than Holostars.

Cover, please learn from Nijisanji
no,they should learn from their ID,specifically kobo,fujobait market largely chinese,which is impossible to get for holo,its better that they go for another kobo,someone who just stream game,whether its competitive like kaela with wild rift or shitpost like kobo and targetting "true normie" audience.

many kobo fans call her "bang" or "big bro" because they think kobo is a guy/normal ID youtuber using some anime girl pfp/avatar. they don't know or care about "vtuber" in general as long as its entertaining.
 
Taken from Fubuki's current stream, seems like Hololive finally have the ability to attach accessories to their live2d models.

Kiara also showed it off on Twitter: https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1547548685076418560
Ame too: https://twitter.com/watsonameliaEN/status/1547567539869257729
Finally! Holos putting still-images in front of them even while their heads wave around like normal, was just getting embarrassing.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of shit Korone and Nene, in particular, get up to with this.

I can't wait for 40 pages of malding and rrats when the doxx start coming out minutes after debut
After?

Gosh that song, I wasn't prepared to feel this much. The graduation is gonna be painful.
You know, I didn't feel too much when she announced it. Because it wasn't super unexpected, and also it felt like I hadn't watched her all that much.
But the other day I looked at her videos page, and more than half of her streams were marked as "watched" for me (with the little red underline).

So yeah... once all the sappy goodbyes start adding up, this is really gonna hit.
Especially if the last couple weeks are filled with banger collabs like this one, just showing us over and over what could have been.
 
Just for the record, is Becca still with her boyfriend or is she single? cause /vt/'s shitposting over the bois is centering on her
 
I guess this guy is a strong candidate for HoloSars EN
I remember people thinking he might be a NijiEN Wave 6 candidate because he's close with Millie, too.
There's a few other notable graduations that people theorized as Wave 6 but that could also be Holostars. The ones I remember would be Chimon, who graduated in January after strongly hinting he would reincarnate and then vanished off the face of the earth, Randon, who played a salaryman orc and graduated in May, and Hanbyeol, a Korean softboy type who also graduated in May.

Hey, speaking of tf2 and vchuubas. Starting in a few minutes
Our actual TF2 Youtuber-turned-chuuba has his POV stream up, too. His thumbnail looks appropriately disgusted.
