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

Robot just started streaming, woman seriously got bit with the Rust bug
You know IRyS gets called out for her model being weird, and it does have a strange claymation look to it, but Roboco has been stuck with that uncanny valley for almost 5 years. When are they going to update her to a model that doesn't look like it's from a bad porn game made a decade ago?
 
Seeing Axel's mask again reminded me of a question I've had before: will we ever see a full face mask vtuber, specifically in Hololive or Nijisanji?
As in a design? If they have a mask they'll just take it off instantly, like Chloe did.

One of the unused Nijisanji designs is a knight character called Wolfgang. As "unused" implies, the design was floated for auditions but they never actually ended up using it. I guess they just didn't find someone who fit the design or wanted to do it.

Nijisanji in the past has generally been a bit more willing than Hololive to do unusual designs, hence Debi and Shiba, but we haven't seen any liver stray that much from the norm for a while. So I don't think they'd do a full face mask that actually stays on. I think an issue with unusual designs is that you need a candidate who really wants to have such a design, otherwise you are hobbling them with a gimmick that they're not into.

I can totally understand why people would avoid something like that knight design or full face coverings full time. You forfeit a lot of expressiveness for it. some stuff like Chloe's mask was at least emotive but a full face guard helmet doesn't allow for even that .

never shes cute as is shut up
In a more serious note, i think it's less about her model being shit, but rather just how their 3D models look overall, if you were to look at some of the other members clips when they are using a 3D model, they also have this kind of "there but not really" look due to how it's set up, and roboco only seems to have/use 3D models.

How many has this been now, i know rye also graduated, is it possible they are all going to the same place or just a coincidence?

iirc most of tempus went on hiatus about 2 months prior to debut, so if any of these girls are going to hololive that makes for a October or November debut, do gens normally debut around the same times every year or is it random to some degree?

Looking at the wiki, looks like:

Myth promo video September 8, 2020
Myth debut September 12, 2020

Council Teaser trailer August 14, 2021
Council deput August 22, 2021

If this is accurate and if HL is doing an EN gen 3, it should be within the next month or so..

She's back with more memes
Piggybacking off of this post to ask a question.
Was this really Kson's plan? She's just doing the exact same content she was doing before, only now I guess she doesn't have to get permission for copyrighted stuff. She said she had a lot of creative ideas that she wanted to explore when she was graduating from Hololive, but she hasn't actually done anything. I am a very casual Kson fan at this point, so maybe a more engaged individual can explain to me if I'm missing something. I was very intrigued to see what she had in mind, but I've since given up on anything actually worthwhile coming out. I don't want this to come off like I think she's shit or anything. I just have a hard time grasping that she's not done anything particularly new or interesting since leaving.

She says this is like her morning voice, so I guess her lowest effort/natural voice?
Speaking of morning/relaxed voices, I watched this clip, and then went and listened to the rest of the stream because I still seem to have an extreme weakness for the chaos rrat's lower voice. I won't thirstpost, but I'll be damned if I don't outright enjoy it and want to hear more of it.

Tbh i just think she left to keep more of the control/money and rinse herself of the drama, the creative project thing was probably just an offhand comment that people latched onto to cope about her leaving. I will say it time and time again but i think being limited actually made her try harder in many ways, now she doesn't really have any boundaries to push.

I think EN gen 3 will debut in October. Council's anniversary is in August and Myth's anniversary in September. I think Cover will try to avoid having EN gen 3 debut in the same month as either Myth or Council's anniversary.

Them trying it is at least cool to see. Personally I don't mind the loss of expression with a full mask, as I'm more interested in the design as a whole and them hiding their face doesn't really matter to me. It also can allow for neat backstories, but that's probably not something most people care about.
 
I'm gonna check out their stream for the hell of it. I got my prayer rug ready and I'm going in. Inshallah, brothers.
Cool find, neat to see something so impressive in that they are able to overcome severe limitations on personal expression in their appearance to still present a theme as a "butterfly princess". https://twitter.com/safiyyaraima?lang=en

Found an obligatory minecraft gameplay video to see their outfit in motion:

Tsunderia, kawaii and idol had long finished auditions so it could be any of them, not just Hololive. There is also the next possible NijiEN wave, considering their track record so far on how they do their concepts.

There's a lot of smaller agencies to look out for, not just Hololive and Nijisanji. A lot of them had opened and closed auditions around the same time period after all.

Edit: forgot to mention there was also MyHolo and fuck idk maybe VShojo finally got their shit together with their auditions long fucking time ago too who knows
