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

the most popular english speaking performer spent literally tens of thousands of dollars for perhaps the most fluid vtuber model i've ever seen. the debut stream is in 60fps and the movement tracking is far and away the most technically impressive that has probably ever been put together. no doubt that an entire team of malaysian artists had to spend a combined manhour total in the thousands to get this put together. i think it was a month before announce and debut? they literally had brown hands cramping over weekends to get this done in time.

in service of loli feet and tummy so people can go "UOHHHHHHHHHHH 😭 😭 😭 " in chat and on /vt/.

for the record, it doesn't make me happy being right. I wish I was wrong a lot more.
For Null.webp
In the stream ... "runup"? The slides streamers play early before the stream starts. One of the Crabs (As symbole for the fans) is literally doing the "UOHHHHHHHHHH 😭 😭 😭 " too
 
I think the popular theory is that Gura wanted out of Hololive for around a year or so prior to actually leaving, but Hololive and Cover did everything they could to make her stay. A lot of these assets were in the works for months or even a year prior to today. I think it's damn near impossible for her to have all this stuff done in under 2 or 3 months.
the merchandise really stretches out the time frame. that sort of stuff doesn't just magically appear overnight and was probably workshopped for a few months ahead of this. especially since it's being revealed not just with like a piece of concept art for some made-to-order products, but rather she has a full set of samples to show off. And all of this merch has her design and branding on it, which means that even before starting merch planning however many months ago, her design and stuff were already hammered out, which is another process that doesn't just happen overnight especially since the design came from Nachoneko.

wait until he finds out what the japanese word for crab is and how it sounds.

Nimi did the same thing. As the audience, we only know when they announce it officially. After it's announced though you often hear from other people that they knew for months. So this was clearly in the works for a good deal of time the same way Nimi was. I forget if Dooby had merch day 1 but she definitely had pretty much everything else set up. Nimi was only "behind" in that she was working with with the smaller model she had for a while.
 
Tbh as someone who has no interest in VTubers, I always thought Gawr Gura had the least annoying voice. Still had a bit of the cringy anime voice but sounded normal enough that if I had to pick one to listen to she's the least unbearable. Her new model looks really expressive which I like since that was also another turnoff for me about VTubers is they all look like sock puppets.

However the whole jailbait catfish look and the entire chat spamming 😭 makes me extremely uncomfortable.

This is the proper reaction, yes.

The autistic part of me just wants to point out that the whole "Idol fans crying while waving light sticks" thing is a trope separate from the Uooh, but i mean, yeah that was probably intentional too.

The CCV went down by 20k-30k the moment that was flashed. However ~150k are still there, so I guess "it is what it is."

Ignoring the loli bait I do get a chuckle out of how this model already has the cat ears. That was the first model update request for Gura she had and the fact it's carrying over shows she really loves the aesthetic, but understands everyone does it so must visually balance it out with something else.

The thing I noticed was the Ahoge, I remember her saying she wanted her Gura model to have one but didn't get it?
