Turns out there's a category for four ears already.
 
To be fair it would look really fucking wierd to not have the human ears unless they comitted more to the animal part and not the lazy "give a random woman animal ears"
The best option I would say is to go with Schrodinger's ears, and make a tuft of hair cover the weird spot on the side of the head where the human ears would be so you never get a good shot of the uncanny area. I don't know how this model works but I'm sure they could make it happen. If they're gonna commit to the bit of the animal ears, don't go double.

Non-human ears goes into furry territory, they're still there to not cross the line. I personally don't like animal ears on humans at all, but I'm in the minority here.
 
I don't follow or really care to follow vtubers but I heard about this one because people I know are talking about it. All I have to say is that double sets of ears hard triggers my 'tism. It's the most technologically advanced vtuber model out there afaik and they make this rookie mistake. FIX IT.

During the Fuwamoco rap battle, Fuwawa had the line "you've got four ears and none of them work".
 
I always stayed away from watching Gura because the occasional good joke or witty comment wasn't worth the radioactivity of her fanbase, and it looks like that's going to continue with Saba. What a waste, especially the BGM because it doesn't loop properly and the "melody" is wet ass.
 
For the people that actually watched nu-gura’s stream, can anyone confirm they noticed her live viewership drop at the tummy reveal?

If true I’m honestly kind of surprised she would have had a large contingent of non-degenerates as fans.
I doubt she has non lolipedos as fans. She heavily pandered/panders to the lolipedo crowd.

yeah her viewership did drop off towards the beginning, and although you could chalk it up to some people being weirded out by tummy a more reasonable answer to why the viewers would drop off is that people show up, see the model, hear the voice and then dip. I know people do that for debuts because I do it for myself sometimes. When Advent debuted I checked out Shiori, saw her model, heard her voice, determined she wasn't for me then left the stream within 10 minutes.

Iirc it dropped at around 175k. Not sure if it was directly after the tummy thing thought. The debut stream what somewhat boring since her strong points are bantering with chat, which is kinda hard to do with 200k live viewers and the boring lore drop of debut streams.

They were never a huge majority until after her prime. her design was never a selling point, her on stream energy and singing were. She had the most amount of normie fans of HoloEN until her trend of constant hiatus. After that, her diehard fans were mostly people either there for the NOOMBERS a rare apperance of her would bring, with a smattering of people who werent allowed within 10ft of a school
 
I couldn't leave work until she'd already been streaming for half an hour or more so I just caught the VOD later. This is the nice background noise I enjoyed from Gura. I also don't like the new model, but all of her past models have kind of been crap as well.

I'm enjoying the 'American vtubers abandon their Nip overlords and almost immediately re-debut as characters nearly identical to their past lives' arc currently happening. Nimi's shamelessness as 'not Fauna' has been particularly satisfying and she's had the best comeback, imo.

Why did the most technically impressive model ever have to be used to do this?

About all I can say is that at least it's not an out and out fuckin' porn model streaming on fansly or some shit.
All technological advancements are motivated by war or jacking off. There are no exceptions.
What do you guys want with vtuber models lol, so contradicting, it looks too young, or oh too much cleavage and sexy and revealing.
1. Doesn't attract gooners
2. Doesn't attract pedophile gooners

It is not an unreasonable expectation.

There was a drop, but I think it had more to do with YouTube lagging and buffering than the content of the stream. By that point everyone could see that she was legally distinct Gura, no reason to endure the buffering and lag without DVR function. Keep in mind that her peak CCV was >33% of her total subcount, that is insane.

Wait. She’s an indie now and is still disabling the DVR feature?

Generally the hair is designed in a way you can't see the ears. In fact it makes no sense here she's looking to her left so her left ear shouldn't be visible.

Also this is not "the most technically advanced model" as some have said, we've seen much better with way more moving parts. Doki's face is way more animated, shylily's has way more physics elements and tracks the head incredibly well. This looks stiff and there's barely any shading on it. I don't know why I've seen multiple people claim otherwise.

1. Doesn't attract gooners
Counter point. Take Suisei as an exemple. She isn't lewd, doesnt make lewd jokes and actively despise being sexualised. Yet she's one of the most sexualised talent in hololive if not vtubing as a whole. Vtubing/anime at its core is poisoned with gooners. You can't escape it, just gotta learn to ignore them.
