Uh, no of course not. Really it was just an actor pretending to be a vtuber..... But they did initially have some folks convinced it was CGI even though that was impossible with the tech of the day.
Look I didn't have cable as a kid ok I just heard he was a robot

The dude behind the curtain was the first VTuber, back when Live2D was still steam-powered

CGI has technically existed since the late 1800s so.
(I am trying to write a long ass essay about vtubers which will probably never see the light of day)

Max Headroom wasn't a program tracking and processing the actor's entire face in real time though, unless I'm misremembering and they had this shit figured out 40 years ago. I know Facerig started being a thing at least a decade ago because Jerma made a terrible FNAF video bit out of it (holy fuck tenth anniversary on this video I am aging as we speak), but I highly doubt he was the only one who fucked around with Facerig when it came out.
Live2D has been around since 2012 and Facerig since 2014, there were anime girl 4chan threads in that era

Now, Uki tweets a lot, but this is the first time that I've something like replying to things containing former colleagues from him.
Also, the crotch holding frame became one of those redraw challenges and I've seen most of the Holostars and several other VTubers with crushed balls already.

In other news: Two weeks until cringe returns

A little over one and a half months after his graduation.

We'd probably do the best of it out of any community site. Anywhere else is either too much of a cheerleader for this or that talent/corpo or just too full of retarded trolls. TVA's got a nice balance of gay cheerleaders (like me, for HoloPromise lol)
Promisefags shouldn't be allowed to contribute. They'd just rewrite history with dumb shit like "Council was as popular as Myth!".
I agree, but in the timeline we inhabit it's Hololive that pulls the trigger first and it's been pretty heavily implied by everyone involved that Cover only felt pressured to do so by the strong overseas response to Coco's meme reviews - including a super active Reddit community
Thank you for proving my point. The Western audience was already watching Hololive because after Miko's GTA moment, westerners realized they wanted to watch retarded Japanese women make retarded noises they barely comprehend. Auditions for EN were likely already in the pipeline before Coco became popular. Miko, Korone, and Haato were already bringing in EOPs throwing USD at them before Coco's meme reviews took off.
I think it benefited from the overall vtuber boom but it was always from people who already watched Niji and decided to try their hand at shilling their oshi
And then their proper EN gen dropped and alot of general interest in some of the more obscure NijiJPs evaporated alongside their retarded clipping guidelines
Always interesting to see how Holo is very much into mixing their language gens and Niji just makes them each use their own fountain



Niji opening a fucking IN branch and then attempting to hastily rebrand it into EN is probably one of the funniest fumbles in vtubing and an indicator of how retarded as a company niji was before any of its major yabs started rolling
The funny thing is that Niji actually had a leg up with Hana generating a following among the EN community early on. Then they fumbled the West and Indonesia. Instead of Niji solidifying themselves in the West, Niji became literal whos to the Western audience until they exploded in popularity with Luxiem.
If the Selen drama had been fully contained to this thread we'd be well over 1k, Nijisanji never fails to disappoint.
The Selen drama was spread across like 3-4 threads. We'd probably be nearing a new Niji L thread if it was all contained here.

It's crazy to think there was a time when Mikeneko's yabs were cute and endearing, rather than whatever the fuck we get from Mikeneko now.

They may not be cute and endearing anymore, but they sure are just as funny and entertaining.

My favorite niji W was back when gibara,roa,mayuyu,warabeda,gundou sensei and more than half of nijiKR still existed especially shin yuya and lee roha
It was nice to see back then when the boys were just goofing around and shit and we would get something like this


Granted this was way before nijiEN existed and all of it's filth and before Riku fucking tazumi inserted himself into everything
Back then it was just a feel good type of thing and it was nice to see your favorite streamers goof around just for the sake of goofing around
Now it's just gone most of the life of nijiJP back then are gone especially my oshis and KR is defunct with half doing of them doing better than ever and let's not talk about roas situation as well

So, in honor of days long gone this is some of my favorite niji moments that's I would consider a W

Nijisanji EN had a real knack for picking obscure, talented people and propelling them to stardom, at least at the start. In the space of two months, the six people they started with included Pomu, Selen, and Rosemi (I don't have opinions on how good Elira, Finana, or Petra are as streamers). That's a crazy good lineup of talent to start a corpo branch with.

Posting a Niji L under the guise of a Niji W. Excellent strategy.

Also as a newcomer it's been interesting to read the history-of-the-industry discussion.

Many would say that Hana did made Niji putting a solid foot on ID market, but even they fumbled on that since they couldn't handle Hololive debuting their own ID talents despite seniority and numbers on their side.

Nowadays ID resonates more with HoloID or the ID indies than Nijisanjis, with only only diehard niji fans (bordering on Niji Defense Force level), those that were old enough to see them rise and fall but still likes both, or only like NijiEN/JP that remains.

I honestly forgot about Hana as more Holos were pumped out. Whatever happened there?
