/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Matsuri looked the cutest in the animation.

>>732492
can't break kayfabe if everythings prerecorded/drawn

>>732492
Probably. Though we don't know what all is going to be involved in the project. Also it might not all take place in a single world. Like Aki Rosenthal's character story involves her being from another universe, and so does Nene's. So it's not like they would be making any precedent by including travel between worlds or anything.

Official Twitter comics
2D Music Videos
2D PVs
Maybe 2D shorts?

>>732492
I just hope they don't listen to the pledditfags asking for a fucking homostars scene/ep

>>732492
The only thing that's concrete is that there will be a music video and a mizuryu kei drawn webcomic about marine that isn't porn. The website asks for interested content creators to contact cover to work with them.
Anyone that claims this is an anime is retarded, and an anime would be a terrible idea because half of them can't act for shit. Look at some of the holo graffiti episodes.

>>732492
>giant sword sticking out of the ground
what is this, ryu knight's world?
also what the fuck is a kayfabe, is this another meme from /jp/ like rrat.

>small short has more than 2M in less than a day
Cover would be retarded to not produce an anime or OVA of some kind when there is clearly such demand.
Fuck, even reddit faggots want to create some sort of fundraising and give Cover the money to make it, thats how desperate they are.

>>734316
Its been around for half a century at least

>>734316
>also what the fuck is a kayfabe
Do your /pw/ reps

>>734316
>what is kayfabe
How zoomer are you? Are you 10 or something?

>>733351
Didn't they retcon Taoling? I don't think Nene is from an alternate universe anymore.

>>734631
Even if it would be a good idea for them to make an anime, it may be best to wait on that for a while until they have other content to advertise with an anime. Besides anime are large projects that may be difficult for a relatively small company like Cover to manage, when they don't have any experience doing so.
>>734316
kayfabe is a pro wrestling term, it's just about being in character, I have no idea why it has spread here.

>>734316
How new?

>>732492
What's up with japan and their huge ass fantasy walled cities.

>>732492
Embrace the inevitable Hololive open world fantasy gacha rpg coming eventually. They want a piece of that sweet Genshin Impact money.

>>734800
Her official profile still says she's from another world.

https://en.hololive.tv/portfolio/items/momosuzu-nene

>>734874
It's cool, and people in general don't care about how the city is feeding itself.

>>734816
>I have no idea why it has spread here.
Probably the same reason that I get a ton of Pro Wrestling recommendations on Youtube ever since I fell in the hole

>>734903
I thought the "another world" refered to China. I guess it means 100 Acre Wood now.

>>734882
I would love for them to just ripoff that ripoff, but with characters people actually give a fuck about.
Not sure how their "lore" would fit together in a world without just pulling the isekai shit.
Who would be the main character though?

>>735031
Obviously a self-insert character that you create. Can be male or female, and includes a vow system so people can say they married their favorite vtuber.

>>735031
Only Gen 3, Gen 4 and EN seem to have their own consistent lore, the other gens are just random with perhaps the exception of Gamers to some degree.

>>734301
>an anime would be a terrible idea because half of them can't act for shit
Does this really matter though?

>>735217
They are also an idol company but only a few can actually sing and dance well, so I doubt anyone would give a fuck about their voice acting abilities.

>>735275
>>735217
>>734301
Central to the vtuber thing is the larp, so I think they'll be fine.

>>735324
I just want Gura and Calli to do their 90s anime dub voices for a bit at least.

Didn't Gura say management asked her whether she knew about SCP Foundation when they were hiring her?
I wonder if future Gen will share the whole supernatural theme.

>>734882
In my opinion they'll never develop their own gacha, at most whatever online game they make will have cosmetics. Being so high in Youtube SCs is a big selling point for them and making their own gacha game would risk cutting into that profit stream too much, limited time collabs with other games seems okay.

>>734816
Because it essentially is the same concept. Sure everyone knows wrestling isn't real, but they still keep the act up because that's just part of the show.

>>735520
And like SCP, Hololive is going to pander to the trannies and everything will got to shit.

>>736000

>SCP pandering to the trannies

What?

>>735921
>making their own gacha game would risk cutting into that profit stream too much
But if people were spending on their gacha instead Cover would still get money. If it had a PC release it would be adventurous since they don't have to pay as many fees to the app store / youtube.

>>736035
the monsters are transhuman

>>736087

kek.

I get the feeling ID and EN will continue to be ignored if they ever make an anime or game. Hell, they will never even 3D rigs.

>>732492
lore beyond what is said on stream is something all vtubers should have
fiction to get people invested

>>736082
The continued refusal to use streamlabs to me seems they care more about their numbers on youtube than actually getting more money

>>735372
>implying EN will be included

>>732492
So royalty like Luna, Pekora, Gura, and Reine will have their realms or kingdoms?

>>736249
HLID uses streamlabs because you can not super chat from ID. Even if the other branches opened up streamlabs most donations would probably still come through superchats due to the convenience of them.

>>736296
Considering that Calli sang the fucking song and its being heavily pushed by EOPs and reddit, Cover would be retarded not to included their biggest growing market.

Guys guys guys, what about a Hololive Mousou game? Hololive Warriors coming soon!

>>736390
It'll be exclusive to japanese arcades

>>736390
Do you fight endless amount of rats?

>>736341
Coco was pushing for streamlabs when people were getting demonetized, considering Suisei's current state she's still probably trying

>>736547
Cover need to hire someone to handle all of this basic money shit, how does a company like them not have an accounting department yet?

>>736193
ID and EN will get 3D eventually. If Cover was willing to give 3D models to two CNs, only for them to debut them on their graduation streams, it would make sense that the active foreign branches will get them

>>736604
>>736547
Iirc the Holostars have streamlabs too, but I've heard the bigger issue is that it's possible to chargeback on SL, and Cover probably doesn't wanna deal with that more than they have to

>>735217
>Does this really matter though?
to vtuber and hololive fans? no.
to everyone else? yes

>>736701
Even Holostars are getting them now, ID and EN show no signs of getting them at any point though, with Ina, Kiara and Gura heavily hinting that there no plans for it either.

>>734882
I want to say id love the game, but truth is japs would probably make it cringe as shit and just ruin the girls.

>>737032
Moona hinted that they're waiting till they can travel to Japan for 3D debuts.
Probably the same case with EN. And Kiara has changed how she talks about 3D models from "if" to "when" recently.

>>737152
>but truth is japs would probably make it cringe as shit
How so?

>>735372
Their what now? Since when did they have 90's voices?

>>736193
all I hopes for, in that image... I know there's no full game but.

>>734316
>Giant Sword
>Ryu Knight

I got the reference. But anon, think Endless Frontier. The giant sword stuck in the ground appears in all the worlds and pins them together, makes them connect.

>>736320
Reine is canonically isekai'd from bird world, her kingdom is in a different dimension.

>>734874
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, cities were behind walls. It was a slow decline with the invention of gunpowder and cannons, and it was until the French Revolution that walled cities finally were phased out.

>>734874
Maps from over 300 years ago reveal that the city where I live now was completely encircled by a big ass wall. Now there's less than 1 km of that thing. So it may be exaggerated, because is fucking fantasy, but not completely bs.

>>732492
Based on what Yagoo's said so far, the plan is:
- Create a 'metaverse' concept where fans and talents can interact more directly with one another.
- The end goal for this is to build upon their facial recognition and mo-cap technology that Cover was founded on in the first place (idol vtuber'y was literally just the result of them not having a way to market their tech to major corporations, so they went into vtubing so they could turn a profit off of what they had so far).
- Towards this end, they also want to create a massive online metaverse experience that has a likeness to SAO or Summer Wars' online community experience.

These are the GOALS, Hololive Alternative seems to be the first step they're taking towards that by:
- Creating promotional videos like the HoloALT MV
- Creating a manga
- Possibly an animated series
- Further build their brand through these methods, along with their streaming talents
- Make fuckloads of yen
- Funnel that into their original goal, most likely in the form of a massive multiplayer online experience (probably some kind of blend of JRPG and Minecraft infused with VRChat/Second Life elements, given the community function intended).

>>734874
The concept of "borders are bad" is a very new take that has been drip fed to a weak-minded generation in order to strip them of their survival instincts. Japan does not share this weakness.

Are they going to release some more art of this thing, I like the world they come up with, with a ruined city and fantasy stuff.

>>740867
I can see Microsoft buying them since Niji is owned by Sony, they would probably fund that RPG then.

>>742957
Fuck, I hope not. That would fucking suck. Last thing anyone needs is a Western company shoving their dick in and "improving" things.

>>732492
Would Sora be the main character if there is ever an anime?

>>742957
Don't think Yagoo is going to sell

>>740867
So if we get this fabled creative MMORPG metaverse to play in..

..who here is going to run around with a cosmetic head representing their oshi's fandom (35p cat heads, Haaton pig heads, riceballs for the Okayu fans, etc)?

>>734816
some pro wrestlers are unironically weeb. They lurk here and post too.

>>737416
>>737032
>>736701
And he believed the rrat from the screenshots, id and the 3 en will never get their 3d unless 3d concerts gets popular in their country like china(yes, thats the reason why cn got theirs)

>>745113
Its not like either of those countries lack those type of studios.

>>744143
Finally, I can be myself.

>>744143

>>754748
Can Niji faggots fuck off

wasnt there supposed to be an announcement regarding this today?

>>755143
Last I read they said they are making a full length video because of how well the response went, probably 3-4 minutes long I imagine .
It seems its only a matter of time(and money) until they do at least an OVA of sorts, specially since redditors are already trying to fundraise a full length anime, apparently they need to raise 4 million dollars.

>>752016
Just imagine, anon. The server has a giant prison area. And it's turned into the clubhouse of the onigiriya.

>>734316
ding-dong diddly crinfe

>>756556
>typing it out

Didn't they tweet a kanata model walking around in a 3D environment? It's pretty clear they want to pull a cygames and make everything internally.

>>756725
Pretty much.

I think the official statement is that they want to create a VR/AR environment/game where they can potentially pull off 'online live performances', i.e. the users congregate in a virtual stadium to cheer for their talents performing on a virtual stage, hence the Summer Wars / SAO reference in their announcement.

>>734990
>100 Acre Wood
Oh, that's why her new design has the bear symbolism. Very clever, Yagoo.

>>757401
Nene does like her honeypots.

>>732492
it's gonna take a real autist to tie all holo lore into one cohesive story

Some gatcha RPG like that chink game will probably happen, I mean, that game is massive and it was done by a really small team, so its totally doable.

>>758228
Gen 3, 4, and EN can easily fit together already since they all deal with fantasy and supernatural stuff, maybe Gamers as well.
Gen 1, 2, 5 and ID are all a mess though lore and theme wise.

>>751580
They may have studio but they dont have any use for it

>>758302
Gen II's theme is that they're all school related (except maybe Aqua)

>>758302
ID Gen2 is fine lore and theme wise, a sword wielding zombie, a bird princess from a different dimension and a humanized blade can easily fit in amongst the others

>>757293
I hope so, I used to go to this type of shit in second life, but it's too dated now.

>>758547
Like I saw in some earlier thread, Anya would be the McGuffin.

>>758841
Considering how popular and active the girls are on Minecraft, I wouldn't mind if they implemented some kind of building mechanic like that into a game like that.

It kinda reminds me of Star Wars Galaxies when players could build entire settlements and towns of their own from scratch. A player-run community where the players aren't just adventurers but can also run their own operations such as crafting stores, restaurants, etc, would be pretty hype. An emphasis on the 'R' part of MMORPG, instead of the 'BIG NUMBERS' and 'muh statbuild' competitive gameplay that embodies the genre these days.

>>758302
Rushia's lore puts her as a student at the academy that Choco and Ayame come from

>>759407
Does that mean Roberu's bar will become a real place in cyberspace?

>>758524
Aqua is the special ed kid

>>762582
>Holostars in the Hololive game
The most you'll get is the bar being in one of the cities but not actually accessible

>>759407
Could be a more social MMO, there were a good number of those back in the day. Maybe a focus on making your own living space/community and players can make their own stuff to sell to other players. Pick an oshi and compete with other fanbases in nonviolent competitions.

>>762746
Holostars would be the NPCs

>>763361
I'd rather have Kuzuha as a boss than that.

https://youtu.be/8t4UljPlVeE?t=5775
Coco rectified today that the dragon in the PV is in fact her, so they either retconned the dragon into being Coco or management was being retarded as usual and gave false info to the talents.
In any case, this brings up some interesting questions, mainly, why are Coco and Noel fighting?

>>764863
Honestly I'm more disappointed that they retconned the dragon into being orange, even though her tail is purple and her previously-"revealed" dragon form is purple.

>>762919
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Players make food and equipment, run their own operations, etc.

Log Horizon had a similar kind of deal, didn't it?

Honestly, since I prefer exploration and interaction over PvP, a game like that would really appeal to me. I'd love to hang out in bars and chat with other players and then pick up my shit and go wandering. Similarly I bet there's tons of people who wouldn't mind playing a bartender, a maid or a blacksmith.

Shit, ren faires are still a thing for a reason, after all. This would just be the digital equivalent to that.

>>764863
>>764899
My narrative is that they planned the dragon to just be some random generic dragon, but they saw the reactions to the trailer and how people liked the idea of Noel and Coco fighting, so they decided to retcon the dragon into being Coco. It might become pink/purple when the full MV releases.

>>764986
Probably. I was thinking CN would be dumb enough to use Noel beating up "Coco" in the PV as something.

>>764863
>why are Coco and Noel fighting?
tournament mode
evil curse
training

>>764926
>there's tons of people who wouldn't mind playing a bartender, a maid or a blacksmith.
>a maid

Baqua's faction is going to be made up of an army of meidos, isn't it?

>>735520
Anon, they asked about SCP as a random question to throw them off. Streamers get a lot of those; it's a test.

>>765096
>maids that don't do anything and just play games all day

>>765181
..this makes me wonder if they'd go the Yakuza route and include arcades that featured oldass emulated videogames, so you can play games within the game.

>>764926
It kind of reminds me of ATT (A Township Tale). Sadly, people on public servers do not really roleplay so you have to do most of the jobs yourself.

>>732492
So that light blue sword is probably going to be the focal point of all the disparate fantasy/fictional gen settings being in the same world?

>>736604
things_cover_should_do_dot_tee_eks_tee

>>767112
I think it would ultimately depend on the size of the population.

But for them to amass a proper population, they'd have to have something really special going for them. But then that's sort of the point with the whole VR/AR thing, isn't it? Nobody else is trying to make an actually functional MMORPG using that type of thing as the basis for it (since MMORPGs have been stuck in the WoW format for almost 20 years now, which is all about grinding, loot and statbuilds).

Whatever they make it needs to be fresh, or at least unique enough that the huge swarm of fans they've amassed will be willing to log in and play it consistently enough to maintain the servers.

>>764863
Anons...

I just want to see my Gen4 girls

>>768167
The weak fears the strong. No Dragon can match Kamen Rider Noel

>>734301
I still prefer Shiokonbu's one but I must admit that Kei's art is the peak of horny Marine. They really picked the best guy for this job.

>>737032
the problem is the only one who is a jpop dancer is kiara. and shes the one who is leaving japan in a couple days.

>>769741
Maybe they'll have a full 'outfit' of head, torso, arms, legs, feet and you can mix-and-match from each.

>>770440
Images preceding a wet, sloppy *POP* sound.

>>768212
You can literally see Kanata falling form the sky in the pv and coco is getting her ass kick by Noel so gen 4 will be in there.

>>732492
Supposed to be a big idol group but the trailer music was dogshit. Who did they even get as a singer?

>>734752
>trying to fit in so hard
It's possible the guy just never heard the term until finding himself here with you faggots who really like to insist that it's just like wrestling and will use every chance they get to use the word.
I bet even the average fucking wrestling fan doesn't know what a fucking kayfabe is, even if they know that wrestling is fake.

It's kind of interesting stuff as an outsider.

We haven't even had Hololive Extra and Hololive Unlimited yet though.

>>732492
Are EN's gonna be in it at all? They had Mori sing the song, but the EN's are nowhere to be seen. I think the best we'll get is a reference or two and maybe a single brief Takamori appearance.

>>772314
Who knows? But I'm not holding my breath, we didn't even see Gen 5 in it, and they debuted before EN.

>>774863
Because that worked out well for Kizuna Ai.

>>743070
Soda is unpopular it will mostly likely br Fubuki or Korone

>>774863
Any acting deficiencies on the part of the vtuber will probably be overlooked by the main audience because they're aware that they aren't professional VAs. Also, the blowback from getting someone else to voice these characters would be far worse than any criticism of bad voice acting/direction.

>>775325
>Soda is unpopular
Source: Your ass
https://trackholo.live/en/

>>775476
That and some of them actually aren't that bad at voice-acting (Haato, Subaru, Miko, for example), and generally just need a bit more training and coaching.

Why should your oshi be the MC?

>>775766
She shouldn't. Sora should be, because without Soda my oshi wouldn't likely be my oshi.

>>775766
she's gay

>>775766
Actually it would be really weird if Suisei was the mc. Not that I would dislike it, but I don't think it would be a good idea.

>>775836
everyone is

>>775954
even me?

>>775766
She's antisemetic

>>775810
This. Besides, Sora has that really nice approachably mellow air about her, and a laidback personality.

I still like how during Aqua's little "Hololive Resistance" arc, after all the posturing and almost monologuing about how they lured Sora to their base, all Sora had to say was, "Ah, so that means you're the enemy, right?"

Had all the vibes of a carefree protagonist line like "So all I have to do is beat you, right?"

>>772174
With red hair I hope, and she does not redeem herself.

>>776500
Enma's role in HoloALT is the same as Dragon Ball's King Enma: Desk duty and processing the souls of the underworld.

>>774863
It's fairly common to put bad acting idols on shit as purely fanservice, which this whole Alternative thing is, so be prepared for virtual-san wa miteiru tier acting again.

>>775766
My oshi should be some kind of oracle.

>>776009
Who's your oshi?

>>736320
>Royalty
>Pekora
No wonder her complete disregard of the law

>>774863
>they'd use regular seiyuu unless they're retarded
imagine typing this and thinking it isn't retarded. most of them already voice act for the shit A-chan does on the main channel, and it's not like it'd be very hard for them to voice act themselves.

>>779094
Plus they're all a bunch of animu-loving otaku weebs. You can't tell me that they wouldn't be enthusiastic enough to be coached and directed in a proper, professional sense.

>>741093
Fucking Christ. Fuck off with your weeb shit you faggot

>>779189
All the passion in the world can't really make up for being an amateur just speaking frankly. Professional production can only carry people who just don't have the training so far.

>>734874
walled cities used to be the norm and they're cool as fuck
>>779371
>Fuck off with your weeb shit
where do you think you are?

>>776009
Pekora or Ame?

>>779412
While true, I genuinely don't think they're that bad as to be irredeemable or untrainable.

>>779573
Oh almost no one is untrainable, but I think that is a significantly different prospect, since it would probably take a fairly long while to get them up to snuff for a truly professional project (it's the same reason why there was some massive discrepancies in skills in the original Love Live, as an external example - Several of the girls were absolute amateurs, either at singing, voice acting, or in some cases, both - and they only really started coming into their own after the main animated portions had already been completed)

>>779776
They've had SOME practice with the HoloGra stuff, plus they've also done video game cameos (with varying degrees of quality from each girl, admittedly, though Subaru is surprisingly good*). Plus they are already putting in the effort with their dance and song training. Adding seiyuu training to the list doesn't sound too farfetched.

I kinda want Pekoland to have a kind of Sakura Wars/magitech level of technology where the realm itself is traditionally medieval but they also have robots and mechs.

Primarily because I want Pekora running around in some Tron Bonne/MegaMan X-tier Ride Armor that's styled as a rabbit, while accompanied by her Nousagi mobs.

>>784120
She did build the Pekodam in Minecraft, so there's precedence for that.

>>784551
Yeah, that's why it came to mind. I went with the ride armor because it seemed appropriate.

It was either that or Devilotte.

>>779776
No one will really mind as long as everyone gets to voice themselves

>>791591
Oh wait I'm drunk wrong board

YAGOO/COVER'S ENDGAME WITH THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO CREATE A REAL CASH ECONOMY MMO GAME SIMILAR TO SECOND LIFE OR ENTROPIA UNIVERSE AND TRAP THEM THERE FOREVER MARK MY WORDS

>>772064
>>764863
https://youtu.be/IihYdvFz1Ro
Someone translated the clip.

>>792016
Danchou is so cool and strong!

that fact that Yagoo is trying to diversify pretty much confirms that he knows this whole Vtuber thing is a bubble

>>792100
No it doesn't. Diversification of a media property is often fundamental to increasing your profits and expanding your market share. If they were trying to make new media brands it might point in that direction, but this is just expanding an existing property. Which is just the thing you do if you think you can and you want more money.

>All the Holos now drafting theories and really excited about some sort of anime
Yeah, now I really hope it happens.

>>779776
They don't need that much vocal training since they're acting their own voice. They probably can get away with just a bootcamp of the very basics like hoe to time their speech right.
What they do need is a good voice acting director who can tell them how to speak their lines and lots and lots of time for many takes. The direction is more important than people give credit to.

>>739975
What city? It sounds European
Please be Constantinople

>>771429
Calli...

>>735031
>main character
Kiara/Coco combo. Their team name would be Annoying Orange

>>734316
Part of what makes 4chan slightly better than other sites is that you're expected to do some research YOURSELF.
Lurk more. It's obvious you're new here.

>>758302
I love this image. I always imagine Pekora as a crazy OP berserker/melee DPS type character, with high STR, really high-damage punches, and high speed

Also according to Noel, she actually carries a mace.

>>758228
>Written by Mori and Haato
Yes It can.

>>769673
>Marine with the BOOBA eye
heh

The Marine manga thats being created right now supposed to take place in the same universe, right? I guess its a good thing this artists is so used to drawing her.

>>772269
I'm holding out for Hololive Kaleid/Liner Prisma Ayame

>>792722
kek

If an anime happens that includes ID and EN, will they just pull a "Tekken" and have everyone speak in their own language but somehow understand each other?

>>792956
I'd think that the shorts will be by gen so that it'll be easier to do.

Think of it like the many shards on FFXIV

I get a feeling the EN arc would have more of a horror genre feel to it.

>>792956
Reine should speak English instead

>>792016
Coco said the dragon is herself

>>791981
>HoloEarth
I guess Mio was right when she said that Alternative was a continuation of that, apparently she had been told that they had a big media project in the works a while back. I guess Yagoo wanted to do this anime/game thing for a long time now.

>>792824
Honestly I imagine that Pekora is smart and like explosion like Techies or some prankster like Teemo

>>793087
Yes? Did you read the posts you're replying to?

>>792100
Dumbass, people have been trying to get cover to diversify for ages and now they're actually doing it so people can support them not through donations and superchats but by buying their merchandises and other projects.

>>793226
I took "translated" for "translate". Ignore my post kek.

Didn't Ame and Gura worked as voice actors for a bit, Gura possibly still doing it on the side?
I think they would be alright voicing their own characters.

>>784120
Well there is modern stuff combined with medieval fantasy things, right?
I mean, you see Miko on tv and modern buildings alongside with feudal Japan and European dark ages shit, so I guess that that giant sword isekaid everything together.

>>739975
Yeah, was that wall 100 meters tall though?

>>784120
You know marine will try to make it happen

>>768167
Its for the best, tatsunoko. Coco got yeeted so high up that she hit Kanata and thats why ppt was falling a couple of frames later.

I hope Gura shows up at the season's finale wielding Poseidon's trident and controlling all sort of marine life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEWPq-4sa3w

>>773660
Wasnt AI just credited as AI when she voiced a character in that one magical girl show?

>>758302
It now makes sense why they want the new english gens to have a theme

>>794006
Next Gen theme is "Nightmare", right?
So I guess more mythical monster girls?

>>794241
Nightmare? Where did you get that from?

>>793923
Dunno but Shiro is credited as Shiro in Borderlands 3.

Shit from Hololive Earth who Mio says takes part in the same universe.

>>794260
Supposedly the same leaker who leaked "Myth" months before it was revealed

>>794381
This one too

Even though Calli sang the song for the trailer, I'm like 99% confident EN and ID will once again be completely ignored in this whole multimedia project thing.

>>794500
Most of the actual creative blood will be Japanese and will have no idea how to write the non-JPs in a non-awkward way, so they will try to avoid.

Was this thing ever scanned?

>>732492
Is this an MMO? Can we go on quests with our Idols as party members?

I hope they release more concept art of that Alternative world, its looking pretty good.

>>793923
I think the choice depends on how its marketed. In Azur Lane, AI is credited for her shipboats but her roommate is credited for another character

>>794715
Nothing but a music video being done at the moment, but later it will probably be an gatcha rpg thing like Genshin Impact, which will be hilarious because Holos aren't allowed to play that game due to bug bullshit. It amazing how that game is so big now, considering it was done by a really small development team, which is not out of reach for Cover surely.
I can see some ova or anime also being do to promote it.

>>794794
> rpg thing
This is actually very easy. Just convince the Craftopia devs to add the holos as playable characters once they finish the damn thing. Roboco already had a mod of herself there. Pretty sure everyone else can once their papas get to work

I wonder whats the story behind that giant sword

>>794241
More goth girls

>>794945
Damn, that already looks pretty good.
And yeah, I can see tons of fanboys working in this thing for free, I mean hell, their subreddit is already trying to fund the anime.

Imagine a Holostars animated series or manga doing better then the ones starring hololive girls

>>795066
Depends on the genre I guess, but since shonen is dominated by male protagonists, it wouldn't be surprising.

>>795124
After the RoberuOgaShien Demon Slayer roleplay, I think it could be pretty good, voice acting-wise

Oh, so thats who Ayame is fighting in the trailer.

>>792956
Lets put it this way, If they do were to do an anime, eventually there will be a dub for the JP girls

>>793606
>ywn play a mecha fighting game with holos as pilots

>>794984
Probably some world anchor or something that rips the dimensional plane
BTW I just realized that the song title is "Dawn Blue"

>>796014
I mean, Marine and Fubuki are already voicing characters in Sakura Kakumei, so its not far off to eventually show up as guest pilots playing their characters or maybe even a spinoff if this thing takes off like its likely to do.

No way in hell non Japanese holos are ever included in this thing, specially EN which is already completely ignored as it is even barred from participating in the sports festival.

>>792016
I wonder if they're gonna adress the wrong color in some way.
It'd be pretty fun if they didn't just retcon purple coco entirely and instead incorporated red coco in her lore as an evil form before she became a peaceful dragon

>>796512
Wrong color? Coco is orange though, just like that dragon.

How strong is Nene going to be though, they are going to have to nerf her a bit

>>796694
if we go with the tail colour, she should be purple/pinkish dragoon. but then again we haven't seen official dragoon mode.

>>792902
I don't think we going to get 1 cohesive shared universe story. it will be a series of a stand-alone story that took place in a parallel universe

>>794421
doubt we going to get a proper leak until the audition is done

>>796988
Yeah, I think the manga is just about Marine in particular, but takes place in that same Alternative world.
I imagine all the future media associated with this project will be like that, individual stories but somehow connected to a larger universe, and if(big if) there is ever an anime or game it will actually bring them all together like the Avengers.

>>797228
What is matsuri going to do anyways. Shes a normal girl.

>>797263
The trailer showed both fantasy/sci-fi action and slice of life stuff with Matsuri and Korone/Okayu with Miko being an idol of sorts, so probably their manga will be more like that, regular girls working towards becoming idols.

>>794984
>>796146
>>797360
So that giant sword transported a Japanese modern city, or maybe future considering Roboco is around, to some fantasy world with elements of Japanese folklore and medieval Europe and pirates, merging them together in a single circular walled city.
Inside it seems to be a pretty normal peaceful town with modern amenities and things like idols, but outside its filled on monsters where warriors like Flare and Noel go have adventures?

>>776007
maybe the true gay was the friends we made along the way

How does the best duo fit into this though?

>>795246
I notice that Fubuki's blue-flame katana is consistent with her Dawn of the Breakers cameo.

I wonder if that means the abilities the rest of the girls display in that game are canon as well (Subaru having Iron Man gloves, Miko having electric powers, Aki having a bow).

>>796953
Her true form's shown up in both HoloGra and in her debut. It's a purple dragon.

>Last episode
>Everybody is about to celebrate their victory with an idol concert
>Suddenly, on the horizon, a black ship appear
>It's the EN girls

>>798495
>Gura being the main villain of season 2
>The author is a nutsaki

>>798523
>Main villain
>Not Mori
Gura probably is a OP but dumb general

>>798421
>Subaru having Iron Man gloves
This is nice touch considering how much of a Marvelfag she is

>Aki having a bow
Well she is an elf so it should be by default

>>798559
Pretty much. Let me dump the introduction clips of the girls here for posterity:
https://youtu.be/GqQNLu1qcJQ - Miko
https://youtu.be/TWvOyBnVmro - Haato
https://youtu.be/atO4A57wLio - Ayame
https://youtu.be/PcgX3q8zoyU - Subaru
https://youtu.be/SuPvaRqgKGI - Fubuki
https://youtu.be/xqryRixQx5M - Aki

Roboco's in the game too but I couldn't find her introductory snippet.

>>798556
Plot-twist: Mori and Enma make their first appearance once somebody actually dies.

>>798523
>games turn into an idle clicker with 2 factions trying to get the biggest number

>>798661
>It's Kiara and she come back anyway

>>798523
>>798556
Gura would be a chaotic neutral OP character most likely

>EN being included
Jesus Christ, can you imagine how much takamori would be forced down everyone's throats? These three would have some interesting lore together though.

>>798673
That's Hachama's role

>>798699
Given pink-haired Rushia is her powered up form, does that mean that necromancy/death powers are consistent with pink hair?

>>798737
I still submit to the premise of Haachama having a kind of J-Horror style Yuugi/Atem deal going on for her, where the two personalities tag in and out as needed.

Mind you, that last Haachama video on the 18th made it seem like Haato was the base personality, but she "invented" Haachama because she was fragile or weak-minded. That, along with the image of the two as children makes me think Haachama was an imaginary friend (or twin sister in this case) who became more like a Tulpa or similar entity.

>>798737
No that's Ame

>>798737
>That's Hachama's role
Not with the recent developments.
She would probably be the main bad guy at the end, everyone just thought she was stupid but in reality was scheming and hiding some dark secrets ala Tobi.

>>798775
>Yuugi/Atem
Season 0 Atem was borderline J-Horror, admittedly.

>>764863
FASTBALL SPECIAL

>>768693
She's the boss after the Final Boss

>>798737
Haachama would be a secret boss fight

>>792016
SO LONG GAY DRAGON

>>798740
Sakura blossoms and all that

>>798632
I wish they would have more guest crossovers, but I guess that thing with chinks burned them

>>796512
Red/Orange Coco is her powered up Morning Form.

>>796694
>>796953
pic related is Coco's dragon form in HoloGra.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpTAqjljvzg

>>799048
It's also in her debut: https://youtu.be/0ngDDHw45AM?t=113

>>736320
Gura isn’t royalty.

>>799048
>>799068
She was drunk at the time hence the color change

>>799131
Are you saying she's purple when she's drunk, or she's orange when she's drunk?

If the former, does that mean she was born drunk?

>>799124
Should be by default of being able to wield Poseidon's trident as well as being a demigod herself, a King Arthur sort of deal. With the guy doing the animation also behind FGO, I'm sure they will do some Saber thing.

>>799214
>Should be by default of being able to wield Poseidon's trident
Only in Aquaman.

>>732492
I read hololive alternative and the first thing that came to mind was going the fuck outside and stopping caring about what fake anime girls do behind a computer screen.

>>799471
>I read hololive alternative
where

>>799886
The title of the fucking thread, retardchama

>>799886
He means the announcement.

>>799471
Here, you forgot this.

>>799206
The power of cola awake her full potenial

I get the feeling ID and EN will once again be left out

Will she be the ruler of that walled kingdom?

>>798673
I think of her as more chaotic evil similar to a Kid Buu type. At least before she met Ame which is part of the lore. Pre-Ame she probably just killed/tortued things for fun and was powerful enough to not be bothered. This also aligns with her liking edgy stuff, and the fact it still leaks out once in a while.

>>800197
given there are a couple royal members in hololive they could, fitting Candy kingdom in the universe can be kinda hard and maybe too big for a single character tho, so maybe they just make her an exchange royal student or diplomat or something alike.
Though as Lunaito it would be fucking amazing to have her in the Candy kingdom with Lunaitos being abused by her.

>>797506
Cool concept, and its a good way to make it all fit without being stupid

I love how FBK has been pretty much writing fanfiction on twitter ever since the announcement, I guess she wants this animated.

>>800499
Well she loves horror, so I can see that fitting with her character

>>800587
Didn't she at one point ramble that the moon shapes are also symbols of her country? Something about the Candy Kingdom entering into an alliance with the Moon Kingdom? All I remember is that Marine punched her afterwards because she wasn't making sense.

>>800655
yeah, I mean I'm sure they can think of a cool concept and make some adjustemets to the lore of the girls to fit it all together without unbalancing it too much in favour of some girls and leaving out others.
I'm really looking foward to the upcoming projects

>>800499

if I wasn't the perpetual outsider literally everywhere that would probably annoy me.

(you)

>>800499
>>800653
>>800894
>The reason Gura and Mori get along so well is because in the past Gura killed millions for Mori

It keeps making more sense.

>>800899
Wouldn't surprise me if eventually big names start doing stuff for this thing, considering some already famous animators and developers are fans of Hololive, or have even work with them in the past.

>>800957
Fubuki didn't lie, management told her wrong info.

>>801024
Yoko Taro did give Miko a follow-back after she beat Automata. And they do seem to share a mutual 'old man' appreciation for slammin' hotties.

That and Miko's character identity is not that different from the data/cyberspace representations of characters in Automata either. I could see something being worked out in that regard.

>>801239
Didn't Kojima used to show up at Aki's Death Stranding streams?

>>800989
Since Mori is Death's Apprentice does that mean the day she met Gura was the equivalent of a STONKS moment for her in terms of reaper gains?

>>801273
I believe so. Then there's the fact that Sugita's a Pekora fan and talked about her on the radio a few times.

>>800989
>Gura is actually every monster shark movie combine
Imagine

>>801275
She must have done really well for Calli being able to retire from her reaper job early.

>>801318
Plot twist: Gura IS a baby. She's just a baby megalodon, and her age of being over 9000+ years old is because megs age very slowly, but she doesn't realize this because she's the last one after her species went extinct twenty million years ago.

>>801299

>All this powerwank about Gura and Cali

We don't mention her because we fear her the most.

>>801412
Her power is not quantifiable

>>801424
>>801471
This.

Honestly, >>801412 it's like you know nothing of Lovecraftian entities. To speak of them is to invoke them.

>>801412
Her power transient any boundaries anon
https://youtu.be/SDjSQnQ73eA

So, she is like one of the most powerful Holos lorewise, right?

>>801670
One of, yes.

>>801670
As strong as Marisa in 2hu

>>801670
Of the JPs, it's probably Choco, Aki, or Rushia.
Choco is the school nurse at the Demon World Academy that Shion, Ayame, and Rushia all attend.
Aki is an alien from a magitek society that still has access to some of her alien tech, and possibly some magic as well.
Rushia is personally very weak (she can telekinetically move objects in close range and wield very light weapons), but she's behind 700 fandead so good luck.

>>801764
>Rushia manage to gather cloak of the undead king
>Fandead stack so high the number glitched

So would all the "dark" Holos hang out in the underworld?

>>802141
>Kiara
More like annoyed Mori into leaving her post in order to put distance between them.

>>801942
>Towa is from Hell, not the Demon Realm that Ayame is from
>Demon Realm Academy isn't in Hell, either.
>Kanata is from Heaven.
>Mori's Underworld is explicitly not Hell.
>Mori's character backstory says the main reason she became a vtuber was to pre-gather souls for the underworld, since positive emotions from vtubers will help people pass on easier after death.
This implies that there are multiple afterlives, and that they are all competing with each other.
Valkyrie Holo when?

>>802186
PPT

>>802426
I really hope their bromance is carried to this universe too.

That Marina manga is going be released on twitter, right?

>>802186
Less that there's multiple afterlives, moreso that there's probably different layers or levels for it.

Underworld: Basic entry, where every normal person ends up when dead, awaiting judgement by Enma. Those who generally were neither evil nor good end up stuck here by default.

Hell: Where condemned souls are sent after being found unworthy by Enma.

Heaven: Where redeemed souls are sent after being found worthy by Enma.

The Demon Realm: A completely seperate realm all unto itself, essentially the demonic counterpart to the divine realm, or the realm of the gods themselves.

The distinction here is that 'Demon' and 'Devil' are different in Japanese. One would be closer to mythological entities belonging a Fey/Faerie realm, while the other is associated with a place of punishment for lost souls.

>>803775
This sort of factors into how the Greeks have a personal domain for the Gods (Olympus) and then a sort of heaven/paradise domain for humans who lived worthwhile lives as heroes or those favoured by the Gods (Elysium).

>>800942
Gomen anon

>>802785
That 1M gift-giving segment of hers, man.

>>798559
>>798632
Subaru recently gushed about wanting to be in HoloALT but thinking she doesn't fit since she doesn't have magic. So at first she considered being a witch, and then riding her mech.

What if she's a magical girl with magic Iron Man gloves that shoot stars ala Kirby, who transforms using 'Smartphone Magic'?

>>805586
Someone should remember her about that game she was in, I'm sure she would want to have something superhero inspired.
But yeah, I guess several Holos are more SoL type characters.

>>806549
True. By nature, at least, Okayu and Korone are both yokai, being a nekomata and inugami respectively.

>>806549
>Someone should remember her about that game she was in
I would but I'm too broke to SC vital information like this.

>>806549
Ame was pretty smart making that time travel thing "canon", when it clearly was not originally part of her character.

>>806861
I do hope that the writers interact with the girls when deciding on the stories.
