It's weird that all the vtubers dress up and look like their models, but I can forgive that minor thing because otherwise the show seems VERY respectful to the vtuber medium. Was not expecting the use of Live2D, nor the explicit credits to Live2D, OBS, and Clip Studio Paint. The fact that the ED is basically just her model bouncing around is cute, and an obvious ode to karaoke streams. The movements of the Live2D character also feels really natural, from the little twitches to the loss of tracking when she leaves the camera. They even showed that the camera used is her phone, which is because one of the best camera/software combinations for vtubing is an Iphone! Not perfect, but better than I'd feared.

I was expectating that shikonoko nokonoko koshitantan would be the funniest anime of the season but, by this far, this one was the one i laughed the most, not only in the season but in all animes that i saw until now

Honestly, the production team for this series deserves so much praise. Not only they're adapting the series well with this first episode but even they're doing the extra mile.

Like, take for example the game Matsuriya was playing, in the LN official translation by J-Novel, the game name was Weiner Legends to avoid copyright infringement, but here, they actually got the perms to use the real game Sausage Legends (which itself is a reference to Oozora Subaru from hololive). Another great touch from them is the use of real vTubers as follow/related in the SNS scenes during the episode.

These are the vTubers referenced in this first ep.

I could not stop laughing. This show is hilarious! I love how the characters are not shown as their IRL selves and the show is just based around their Vtuber model. It's unique and I am in for it!

that explains it, I was wondering why they dressed like their models and you basically answered it.

This was very entertaining, there was a lot of chaos I guess it about what I can say.
Very funny how 18+ she gets after enough alcohol.
I liked the Street Fighter II reference.
I think she also imitated Cristiano Ronaldo when she moved the Coke bottle out of the way.

I was initially going to pass on this show, but then I saw clips and screenshots on Twitter, so here I am and I gotta say, I almost missed out on a banger lmao. This is unhinged as fuck, just the way I like it.

I never thought I would see gooning being uttered ever in an anime, but here we are.

Awayuki is based as hell, give us that sesbian lex collab.

finally we get an anime about VTubers and they really use the avatars that VTubers generally use.

Awayuki is really like Lamy and Raden at the same time, also love that Ronaldo water reference.

Ayaneru is very suitable for Awayuki, so this will have a lot of references and be a fun show, looking forward to the next episode.

Perhaps not the best thing ever, but that was fun enough that I'll try watching it next week. I can't help but feel this would have been more fun if they'd made this a crossover with Evangelion and the beer drinking main character was Misato...

Never a fan of vtubers and stuff but damn the first episode was hilarious. It also got an interesting direction flair and meme references in it which made the show really enjoyable to watch. I like how the show portrayed the vtuber community in it and let's see if she can keep the fun running around whether through collaborations or some really stupid stunts she pulls. I don't expect to really enjoy the first episode but this is a really fun show.

I'm a big fan of vtubers, as can be seen by my profile. I mostly watch independent English speaking ones like Akuma Nihmune, Sinder, Vienna, Yoclesh, etc. I have indulged in some of the Japanese corp ones and they do have a different style and community but they share a lot of the same things. I think I'm pretty versed in vtubers to make judgements on an anime about them now.

This one seems to be pretty boring imo so far. I get the joke is how she left her stream on, but if you've watch vtubers before, the type of stuff she says and talks about are pretty tame in comparison to what it's like now. I feel like this show would've benefited much more if it came out 2 or 3 years ago when vtubing was much less prevalent. I'll still watch it to completion though.

Also, for the love of God stop with the overly loud drinking and gulping sounds. I had to skip forward 5 seconds 7 or 8 times because of it. It's one of the most ear grating sounds in existence.

I avoid VTubers like the plague, but the premise sounded interesting and a 7+ score the next day made it seem like it would be interesting since a lot of other ones centered on VTubers had pretty low scores. I wasn't disappointed. Hilarious. Of course, I had no clue what "g**ning* meant. And since they took away Crunchyroll comments I had to come here to look. Then, I had no clue what "gooning" meant, so had to google it. It ended up being in line with what my mind was thinking, but didn't really match what was happening on screen so wasn't sure. Of course, seems like my dirty mind is well suited for this anime.

I found this first episode was so funny to the point that I kinda doubt if following episodes will be able to follow suit and equal it or surpass it

Shoutout to my goonettes out there


I'm not used for corpo vtubers to be so out there (aside from like, Pipkin Pippa maybe? Or Phase Connect in general in a way) so i think that made the jokes land harder on me. Tbh i'm not much of a stream viewer, my exposure to the vtubing industry and culture has been through clips 89-93% of the time


Looking forward to next week's ep.

For someone not really following VTuber culture all that much, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this premiere. Ayane Sakura really knocked it out of the park with the voice acting , and with alcoholism being part of her job, it was a nice little twist to the whole thing. See, sometimes, gaffes like these don't get you canceled. I don't imagine that this really reflects reality in actual VTuber culture, because fans can be quite deranged, but I really liked the light-heartedness of this. I wish they didn't censor so much, but at the same time, it also makes it a little funnier, so it's fine.

The best ad that StroZero could ask for...

13:12 imagine being compared to Hanma Yujiro lol. A compliment or a grave insult? Both?

Man I just couldn't stop smiling the whole time. I had so much fun just reading the chat messages lol. This season is stacked with comedy we got this and deer brain rot omg. I don't watch Vtubers too often mostly just get recommended clips but I still catch a few live streams when I can so I can still get most if not all of the references which is nice. This might be THE anime that sets the standard for good vtuber anime maybe. We don't talk about the ones before this.

The only question I have is why are they all cosplaying their characters. I mean that's cool but even wearing it outside?

Pretty solid first episode. Obviously her yuri inclinations and specifically being really into her fellow VTubers from the same company are very convenient. I'm not familiar with the source material, so I'm curious to see where it goes.

I had the same reaction many had at first to her looking exactly the same as VTuber model (except not Live2D), but started to get the feeling they were just deliberately not showing the person behind the avatar. It became clear when I saw how they represented the people in the background when she went out.

A real vtuber anime? man, sure doesn't feel like it should have taken so long
it adds to the joy of this being the season in which Sora sings an opening and Cali sings an ending, both first for vtubers
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

this show would have been so, so good 4 years ago, but at this point weve seen everything "yabai" a vtuber could do (tbf i think the LN is probably from around that time)

instant drop


plus, something sits really poorly with me when a vtuber is the same as her avatar, at that point, she's just a youtuber

Indeed, all VTubers are "yabai" these days + the premise of forgetting to turn off the stream is funny, but Idk how they're going to keep up the same jokes for 11 more episodes.

After so long, we finally have a VTuber anime on our hands. Is it realistic though, is the question.

LiveOn is one of the top VTuber management companies in the country. Among its third-generation talents is Awayuki Kokorone/Yuki Tanaka, who has been struggling to stand out amidst the countless other VTubers. One day, after ending her usual stream, Awayuki forgets to turn off the broadcast, as she starts to get piss drunk while screaming her love of beer. The next day, after exposing a completely uncharacteristic side of herself to the world, her manager, reveals a shocking truth to Awayuki. Everyone at LiveOn had been waiting for her to let loose all along, and now they are giving her free rein to drink on-stream.

You know, I wouldn't doubt that VTuber's get piss drunk after streams, because no way they keep up that innocent persona for a long ass stream and don't feel like popping out a cold one. But already off the bat, this so unrealistic. We all know damn well that VTuber's don't cosplay as their avtar. At most they may come out with their PJs on and call it a day. Also, what a shit manager this girl has. As a manager, your not supposed to tell them that they were still streaming the next day, YOUR SUPPOSED TO TELL THE SECOND SHE STARTS GETTING DRUNK.

Even though I'm not that big of a VTuber fan, this seems like dumb fun. Count me in!

I don't dig vtubers and streamers, but I thought this might be interesting: the theme of our real self v the mask we put on.

The fc initially spoke with polite Japanese, but not knowing she hadn't cut her streaming, she spoke casually and even vulgarly. This allowed her to gain more viewers whilst being her true self more. Nice.

Negative: This gets tiring fast. The trash isekai with 2 kids is definitely funnier than this one. I'll continue watching because this has potential.


Eta: I almost forgot. This is definitely a 12 episode beer commercial.

I know absolutely nothing about Vtubers in real life (not my interest whatsoever) but is it normal for people to be wearing the outfits while doing their streams? Why is everyone cosplaying when the outfits could just be programmed or am I missing something here lol. It wasn't like that with the Jellyfish anime and the avatar there so why here.

While the Vtuber industry and idea for this show is something I don't care for, was nice seeing alcoholism work well with the job here and basically creating a whole new unfiltered character and persona that fans seem to really enjoy with all the buzz. I will say, the idea in my head of seeing someone drunk and streaming sounds way more fun than something being very timid and angelic, which is very boring. Even if the drunk nature can cause a massive risk of careers ending with words, actions and thoughts not being under control. The idea of the main girl being drunk sounds dope but I don't know if this is a concept that I would care for with the entire show since the other V-tuber elements about it, don't care for whatsoever.

it's a representation, we don't know how the vtuber looks like, and when they talk about going to a store we don't imagine a human, just the vtuber model of them moving irl

Pretty cool that they actually used Live 2D. They nailed so much stuff about Vtubing, most accurate depiction I've seen in an anime so far. Except for the looking exactly like your model IRL part lol.
