Virtual Youtubers - it's okay to be a simp for 2D

[samuraicrack]

"A virtual YouTuber (バーチャルユーチューバー, or VTuber) is an online entertainer, typically a YouTuber and/or live streamer, who is represented by a (usually anime-inspired) digital avatar generated by computer graphics."

Anyone else been down into this rabbit hole? It first started with this meme video where an anime girl sings Scatman.

And from there on I watch like half of these streamers whenever I get bored or just watch the translated clips on YouTube.

Anybody else been getting into Virtual Youtubers as of late? Who's your favorite?

No, I've never heard of such things. And I'm horrified.

I like Korone, Pekora, Rushia, Shion and Elite Miko. I can't speak zipperhead so I only watch the translated clips.

Edit:

Korone's resident evil 4 playthrough is good

I considered doing it myself but I refuse to use a shitty anime avatar and I don't want to learn Maya to animate my own cartoon character because that's far too much effort for YouTube

Do many people even watch her that much anymore? She kinda died off in popularity a lot last I checked.

I'm not sure, tbh. I haven't been paying attention to her numbers. I still watch her time to time, but definitely not as much as I used to.

 

[The Pink Panther]

Not weeb shit.

Isn't there a funny video where the guy running one of these 3D anime girl stream things has a software glitch and it literally shows the man behind the curtain without the voice changer and anime render?

Personally I can't get through the day without listening to Watame no Uta.

 

[CakeCutey]

I see these everywhere. Not really my cup of tea.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

That scatman thing may be the most annoying thing I have ever heard and thus it is now my ringtone.

 

[Namesarehardtocomeupwith]

I like the fact that whatever shit happens, their face is just : D

 

[TardBows]

Elite Miko's my favorite. Her fail moments are pretty funny.

My brother always watches this shit from a few rooms away on max volume and it always sounds like cats dying.
