| Since the first trailer dropped, I've been seeing a lot of harshful comments about this production, and now the show already has an mediocre score, even tho it's a good value production. I know that there's already a huge bias against vtubers on anime community, but it seems to me, that there's a lot of people disliking the fact that Wit Studio is producing this show too, like if they have an obligation to work only with action-orienthed shonen/seinen, even tho they already worked on productions like Rolling Girls and Pokemon movies in the past. Isn't this behaviour a little too childish? |
the_great_prince said: I don't think that 3d animation is the main reason, since Full-3d animes like D4DJ and Bang Dream don't receive these amount of hate. Like I said, I think that are a decent number of people here who thinks that Wit is these kind of studio like Ufotable or MAPPA, who only works with high budget action productions, probably people who only saw SNK, Vinland and SxF from them. You can see a lot of them in the episode 1 discussion thread and on Twitter saying things like "Why Wit is animating this?". It's really sad how these kind of people act so childish towards the shows that they dislike, I just hope that they don't harass the staff who are working on the anime.I think the main reason is the 3d animation. Anime fans hate anything even semi-related to 3d animation, even if it makes sense in a story about vtubers. I'm sure that most people who watched this and hated it don't really watch vutbers that much and were not used to it. If you take away the vtuber aspect, it seems like this show will be a standard idol show, and those types of shows usually aren't too popular to begin with. Still, I do think the hate is a little overblown, but it should stabilize after a few more episodes come out. |
| People just hate idol shows I think |
 |
| Although I'm not particularly fond of idols or vtuber-related content, I found myself enjoying this anime quite a bit. I think the main character was pretty cute, I loved all the details in her design and how cute the show is animated. I noticed in the comments that it's mostly about the 3D animation, but not about how it looks, just the way how it switches between 2D and 3D. I get that they wanted to make it the cool aspect of this anime, but so many people disliked it...Tbh I can't 100% believe that's only animation, like, 3D is quite common nowadays in anime? Weird:/ I think it was pretty. Maybe another reason is that not much happened in the first episode, hm. Like, mostly introducing the MC. Though I saw most of the people just complaining about 3D and that was their main problem. |

| It's pretty bland for a Vtuber anime outside of anytime Ai is performing, this would be great in 2017-2018, but good god you need a lot more oomph for any Vtuber anime, see the Hololive shorts. At this point, you're better off watching an actual Vtuber than this anime. |

| Simple. This one is a bland low production quality show trying to ride on VTuber popularity wave. Relying on Kizuna Ai power to add to insult. Story is weak. Performance is stiff. Songs are generic. Why should I praise it? Make a good show and people will dig regardless of theme and 3D usage. Make a mediocre one and people will chew instead. |
| There sure is a lot of speculation here. "People just hate because of x reason" without actually having anything to back up their claims. Can't it just be that the show is just not that great? I watched the first episode, its not that great. The animation and CG is fine but story wise, it just didn't hook me like other music theme shows have. Just because it has the name of Kizuna Ai's name doesn't mean that it HAS to be a huge success. Remember, her channel kinda feel off the radar for a reason. As it stands, I give it a 6/10, a couple more episodes before I keep or drop. I'm more curious to know what does this mean for Nozomi Kasuga. Last time I heard, she wasn't in great terms with the company over her. For someone who is on a "indefinite hiatus", she seems quite active. |
| tbh, is pretty enjoyable this anime rn. ppl are trying to compare with bandori or idm@ and this is pretty wrong. |

| It’s advertising NFTs. |

| maybe because it's advertised as a Kizuna Ai anime but she is barely in it and only used as a plot device |
Darkdaxter said: Lmao Rev being Rev I saw a video Rev made about this recently. He says a lot of the hate was from her pushing NFTs back in the day, and apparently there's even a clip in the anime. I haven't seen this yet, and it will probably be a while before I do, so I'll reserve my judgment for now. NFTs may be a complete scam, and I obviously don't know Ai's intentions there. That being said, a lot of people were pushing them back in the day, including extracurricular artists I liked to try and make a little money on the side. And I'm not going to hate on a small indie artist for trying to take advantage of a trend like that. Ai's obviously not a small indie project, but I have no idea what her contract is like. There could well be a stipulation on selling a quota in there. If she's still pushing them today, that's a different story, although Japan and China might look at the concept differently than the West. I don't have much experience with her content, but she never struck me as a greedy soulless shill either. Every content creator will do and say dumb shit and eventually get cancelled over something. I don't really care when it comes to most controversies like this. Even if the worst were true, I could still separate the art from the artist/inspiration. Just figured I'd bring up the NFT angle. Hopefully this isn't just a cash grab, and people think more highly of it in the future. Corpos and cancel culture ruin everything. I really wish both of those things would get better sooner rather than later, but I expect both to get worse in the foreseeable future. |

Sevs said: NFTs are quite big in the Vtuber scene in Japan. SerahKyu said: At the end of episode 3 there's a stinger with the characters talking about the contest and NFTs come up and they talk about them. I hope it doesn't go much further since, well, no one should be promoting NFTs.
