THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I thank God that this is only 8 mins long. Anymore, and my sanity will be gone.

The synopsis doesn't even give this short justice.

Live-action motion capture? More like Hololive, idol version instead.

How did this pass up as an anime? Just place this on YouTube instead, and everything will be A-OK.

It’s interesting tbh. We watched real people do those things behind an avatar. I doubt they even did a seperate sound record for this. We could hear the sounds from their clothes, their movements and so on. The voice actors were good at dancing. It can never be as good as Hololive though.

I like it to be honest but I wish it was longer there is no much development and plot with only 8 min per episode, but I really like the motion capture it's looking good

I ain't here for the idol stuff. It gives me Himote House vibes. Also, the 3D motion capture is surely getting better.

I didn't mind it. It has more presence than normal anime. Very cool idea to see characters interacting in 3d space. If it's written well, think I might enjoy.

I somehow expect an ad-lib part as in anime like Tesagure Bukatsumono, but there was none it's a surprise.

It's quite fun, less cringe material than some other mocap anime already done.

For some bizarre reason I really enjoyed this. I think because it was so different I found it interesting. Just a nice change of pace I’d say!

Funny Anime. Looks like VRChat with VR Setup (Motion Capture). Its like some VTubers be in a game and just doing some sh!t xD. So its more watching a "VTuber" Video than an anime. Soo its not that bad at all. Just a "VRChat" Letsplay with Opening and Ending. Other Word HIGH QUALITY VRCHAT CONTANT!

I like the comment above me. Ex-Arm, hell yeah!

To be honestly, i didn't really like much the concept with all of those cg and mocap thing. Its like i am watching a robot instead of humans. So its a big meh for me.
Gladly, this show have only 8 mins per week, and their dance, vocals, and song were quite decent. So, its fine enough to be watch every week. Ofc its not the same level at my most likeable show. But, yeah, i will be forcing myself to watch this thing cause i love challenging myself.

At least its not as bad as the show i mention in my first line....
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

It doesn't need to be longer to have development or plot, it just has to use its time well. Instead, it spends the entire time on some lame jokes, rambling, and TELLING us the characters have distinct personalities instead of showing it.

Seriously, they just... toss us paragraphs about each character wholesale.



"Hey, we heard the kids like v-tubers. We can save a ton of money by just making anime with v-tuber tech instead of anything better looking!" Maybe it'd be one thing if this was some sort of low-budget project, but when it's a full-fledged studio putting it out, it just feels cheap.

I actually find the premise kind of neat, with the strict deadline to fill a show, but everything else is just so meh I don't expect it to be executed well.

This is uber cute, the animation and music is amazing. And I love the fact that it's only 8 minutes long; usually, most idol anime bores me half to death.

Saw the score, length & full CGI. Was really preparing for a short snoozefest, but this is pretty fun so far. I'm already finding the cast quirky & charming, particularly when Ami was booking their concert and I thought to myself "Act first, think later." The CGI is pretty decent too, especially the OP & ED.

I don't like the way Shiori looks, and the opening theme sounds way too much like "Punch Mind Happiness", but other than that it's fine. It's a Hololive-esque idol show. Didn't expect much seeing that it was only five stars, but I'll watch a few more episodes and see what I think then.
