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

So apparently the full Hololive Alternative PV is going to be coming out within the next few hours. Coco is doing a superchat reading + watchalong.

EDIT: just over half an hour from now.

Can't help but imagine she chose the thumbail and moment specifically to celebrate Cover finally greenlit her collabing with EN
Remember, the one who sang the Alt theme is Mori, also the guest for the week's reddit shitpost

oof the hololive alternative premiere is pretty infested with chinks spammer

I guess they’re super pissy about her collabing with the EN group.

 

[Scuttle]

So the Full Teaser PV was a thing...

I mean, I really like the idea of the characters actually being placed in a setting more closely tied to their actual stories, rather than have a Necromancer and a Devil stuck in the Hololive office as per HoloGra.

But given I still can't really tell what exactly it is, it's hard to get excited about anything.

 

[Airless]

Just a little late but Mel did the same

And now we know Coco got yeeted for attacking Flare

Yeah, I wish it was more clear what we’re dealing with. Still a nice bit of animation.

EDIT: there’s a website and a Twitter for it, so it’s something. The website is .tv so maybe it’s animal shorts to be aired on television?

The HoloALT Full PV was underwhelming for me

I dunno, I got exactly what was advertised - full version of a previously released teaser.
A teaser is a teaser.
Shit is meant for fans to salivate over with loosely knit theories on what it is all about.

Full Coco fight is cool as fuck. Although dragon form boobs rose an eyebrow for me. As did Sora with commieblocks as a background.
Overall quality is just stellar. Every other frame could make for a very neat bg.

Disagree. Most teasers at least clue you in on which form of media it is.

All this animation is well and good until it's an announcement of a manga with still, handdrawn images, or a gacha game where the PVs are usually where all the animation budget goes anyway.

Knowing it's an anime, for example, would clue me in on the style they're going for, the animation style and quality etc. This is a great looking PV but I don't personally feel any hype for what it is teeing up.

And so they teased the content, not the media. Which will probably include everything you've mentioned. Some short comics, more thematic music collabs, short vids.
They will all have this new story and worldbuilding that includes their character settings and whatever lore they are working on.

Bets on Coco fight getting a short mango? Premise, fight itself and aftermath. Would be damn cool.
Or drama recording. Japs seem to love that shit.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

So they’re essentially teasing a Hololive AU sort of thing.

 

[The One And Only SALTE]

From what I remember, Holo Alternative got delayed when one of the big artists working on it cut ties with Cover.

I still have no fucking clue what it actually is but the animation is cool enough.

And Calli for singing the OP...she tried. It's good but I feel they should have gotten one of the more seasoned singers to do it.

Suisei or AZKi should've done it, given that they were/are INNK Music; but props to Calli though. Maybe it she could just sing an EP and the former two would do the OP, or something like that.

Not according to charts that had Calli earn top rankings with her singles and album. That's probably number one reason she got chosen.

So she got chosen for her big numbers rather than her talent? I can buy that, otherwise AZKi, Suisei or Sora would have been a better choice.
I mean, you cant seriously tell me Calli can measure up to any of the 3, specially Sora and AZKi having over a decade of experience.

If the song was a rap, that would make so much sense.

 

[Rezza]

The credit has Calli also writing the lyrics, so that's probably one of the reason why its Calli

 

[Banfrau]

i think the PV was nice. Seeing them in a hand drawn animation and moving about is really neat, especially the part when they fought Coco, that was cool.

Calli's roommate has many years of experience with EPs and music production as well. She may be *new* to the singing part.

After the initial hype passed, I realized how much of a coincidence it is that the first meme review after NijiEn they bring one of the EN girls.

I know I couldn't be bothered with watching the last reviews, and many here said the same, but this will pump up the viewer count again for sure

 

[Tatsunoko]

I do hope they make some stills available for certain aspect ratios so we can use them as wallpaper. Nearly every frame is pretty damn incredible, but Miko standing in front of the LED Sakura Tree has got to be my favorite.
