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

I didn't know they do that in Niji. I just thought the general "We make the characters, you don't have much of an input" that companies do, applied for all of them.
Yeah, it's usually the design you have 0 input on (and at times first costume) but name isn't one of them. Millie and Elira in particular commented on their name selection, and Hana mentioned wanted something simple for her name.
 
They do depending on creation. A lot of them can also create their own surname. If they already have a profile set up you are indeed filling that role, including name, otherwise if they only have a model you're auditioning for you can name yourself, a lot of Nijisanji (and EN) members have commented on why they chose their name or some bits behind it, it's not always premade.

It really depends on who your "mama" is it seems. Fulgur is LAM's fav son and yet is fighting tooth and nail to get outfit designs he wants. Millie's designer refuses to make any of her designs include bust. Mysta Rias name is a pun he partly didn't get and didn't get to have much input on his new outfit design. Meanwhile Luca and Nina had way more creative freedom and input on the new outfits they got.
 
Funnily enough it reminds me of when the ultra conservative Christians would pitch a fit that Harry Potter was teaching their kids witchcraft.

At least now a lot of Christians are focusing on the troons. Don't worry, they'll get back to shooting themselves in the foot soon enough over culture war shit. There's already one kvetching over Anime, Video Games, and cartoons being "childish" hobby pursuits.
 
The teams for the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 tournament were drawn.

Off topic but some of the stuff they would come up with was funny. In the 90s they claimed if you played the pokemon theme in reverse there was demonic chanting.
 
More HoloStars VCR RUST moments.

Axel and rpr had a small falling out on their voice pack business.
Edit: Replaced two clips with one longer and better clip.

It was Niu's birthday, so that meant couple time with Astel and a surprise party.

What's up with Astel and Niu? I don't really follow either of them so this is the first I've heard about it. Have they just been hanging out a lot in Rust?

First, let me quote the previous clips of them I had posted.
Astel and Niu from NeoPorte had 14 kids defused 14 bombs together. They had some great chemistry in this collab.
Shibuya Hal entrusted Niu to Astel's care. A new duo was born. My prediction is that once they had their fill teasing each other, they will go forth and terrorise a lot of JP vtubers.
Then, let me explain. Niu is in NeoPorte. She has been around for 1 year, but on the anniversary stream she stated that she was thinking of graduating. The reason is her troubles with communicating. The CEO, vtuber Shibuya Hal, entrusted Niu to Astel because Hal thought that Astel had the ability to easily interact with others, but also matched Niu's gaki energy. Together, they have some really good chemistry. This happened some time before VSaikyo. Are they actually a couple? No, and I don't think they will be, but the chemistry they have is collab gold. Think of RoberuNightMea. As Niu explained in the latest clip I posted, she was hesitant to join VCR RUST, but beacause Astel and her kouhai formed a group, she decided to join, so she has been mostly hanging out with them.
 
i never really paid attentioned to holostarsJP until rust. gamma, astel, and roberu are hilarious.

hope someday we get to see the same type interactions on the EN side of vtubing
I was thinking about this, and I would like this too, but such an event should have more than just NijiEN and HoloProEN. It should have variety like VCR RUST, so that means Phase, the Jews, indies, fleshtubers. Do you think that such an idea would fly easily on the West side of the Internet without all kinds of complaints? I don't think so. Basically, the West is the only one stopping the West from having fun.
