Welcome to /l/!
Read the sticky.
Welcome to /l/ - Virtual Livers / Virtual Youtubers. This is a "big tent" hobby board for the discussion of Virtual Livers and Virtual Youtubers. Please note that while all バーチャルライバー are allowed, this board's primary focus are otaku-oriented and idol-oriented streamers. 
~Code of Conduct~
Please repeat after me!
0. I will not come to the board with a rancorous attitude! [1]
1. I will not violate the global rules!
2. I will not spam!
3. I will spoiler all NSFW and 3DPD images!
4. I will not namefag without an appropriate reason!
5a. I will not post face reveals, boyfriend lists, or other meta content outside of the arena!

In regards to 7, I'm not going to pull a "rule 11" on anon for blatantly refusing to capitalize his sentences or using foreign imageboard slang. However, if anon is bringing down the overall IQ of the board with his post, it may be removed.

Welcome to the arena. Despair, ye who enter here. The arena is something of a venting thread. If you have beef with another anon or with a specific vtuber that is getting out-of-hand, you may have discussion moved to this thread. If you want to discuss negative or obtuse meta content of a vtuber such as a boyfriend fuck list or actual pictures of the actress, you must do it here, or on a different board/website.

This thread is still moderated, however rules 0 and 6 do not apply here. Have at each other to your heart's content. Please hide this thread by default if this is content you do not wish to see. I would hide it too, if I had the choice. If anon ever gets to the point where he's exclusively only lurking this thread, new rules may come up. At the end of the day, your oshi is a real girl. She may show gratitude and appreciate her fans, but she does not love you.

EDIT: As a reminder, please familiarize yourself with the Global Rules of anon.cafe as Romania has laws regarding unlawful violation of privacy and doxxing that this site is beholden to. Should you choose to personally investigate matters, you do so at your own risk. My legal take on this unless the site owner disagrees and corrects me, is that if the information was publicly available at one time, then it does not fall under the Romanian criminal code unless a request for deletion is submitted since it falls under the internet's default fair use license honored by most countries. Should I receive an email or be forwarded such a "DMCA" request, I will post a copy (with names and personal details expunged of course) for transparency in-thread after removing the offending content.
Use this thread to post about and recommend your favourite indie VTubers.
As an example, here's Hina, a Virtual Youtuber focused on farming and cultivation of tomatoes. She also composes her own music, does stuff for Comiket, and even subtitles her own videos in English.

This board has been claimed by the cutest rabbit. Surrender your power cords immediately or suffer the consequences.

>Who the fuck is Pipkin Pippa?
The cutest rabbit, who enjoys browsing (and possibly posting) on imageboards. She goes on a lot of tangents.
>What kind of content does she produce?
Mostly chill gaming streams with lots of talking about related and unrelated issues. Also some meme vids. She is up to all the latest interwebz news.
>Where does that bunny hang out?
Youtube for streams and vods: https://www.youtube.com/c/PipkinPippa
Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/pipkinpippa
>What else should I know?
Maybe turn down your volume when first tuning in. The rabbit is easily excited.
Please direct matters of board moderation policy, board aesthetics such as banners/flags, and similar inquiries to this thread. Otherwise I might not see them. This can also be used as a catch-all thread for off-topic posts.

Board Culture & OC Raffle
I don't have anything to use the announcement area for, so I'm going to use it for a monthly prize. OC is the lifeblood of imageboards, so I would like to encourage it in a constructive way. Anon* may submit a sentence or quote to be entered into a raffle and turned into an announcement limit of about 100 characters or one sentence, whichever is larger. Raffle entries are not free: In order to be entered into the raffle, anon must either submit a banner or a piece of OC with a moderate amount of effort put in (no stick figures, video-ripped gifs/webms, or generic memes that take 2 minutes to make if you choose OC instead of banners).
*Limit of one submission per anon per month. First raffle will be held October 1st.

We are currently looking for banners!
If there is a girl or image you would like to see in a banner, /l/ is looking for banners. I'll be making a couple at a time, but they will mostly be generic.
>How do I make gifs?
Either by adjusting frame-by-frame in an image editor, or by cheating at about 70% quality:  https://ezgif.com/ 
>Banner size?
The only real restriction is 500kb, but please maintain a roughly 3:1 aspect ratio (300x100 - 600x200) to keep them consistent. I've included a minimum and maximum sized Nene Seal in the banners for now for comparison.

We are currently discussing flags!
I'm think I want to experiment with custom flags. I'm thinking of doing them as a 28x28 and allowing any liver (really their face or a symbolic representation) or corporate symbol (Hololive, Nijisanji, Phase-Connect, VOMs, etc.) as a flag. If anons are opposed to custom flags, the next month or so is the time to say so.

We do not need moderators at this time!
The board is small enough that I'm not worried about it. If you are interested in moderating, obviously say something to that effect because it lets me know you are interested and I can add you to an email list or something to notify you if I ever am recruiting, but it is best not to introduce more points of failure into a system if it's not necessary. 

HOW BANS WORK:
Bans will average 16 hours for those without a criminal record. This is enough time to force anon to sleep on his actions and cool his head without impacting his posting ability the following day. An additional 4 hours will be added for each additional offense in the last 90 days to account for VPNs. Ban lengths are cumulative. After 90 days your criminal record is expunged. All "permabans" issued on /l/ shall last 90 days.
Example: 
>Anon banned for some reason
>Anon is a good boy for 88 days
>Anon is banned for something else
>Anon gets a 20 hour ban. He must go a full 90 days without a ban or he will get a 24 hour ban next time.
Anon may dispute his ban to have it expunged from his record without fear of retaliation in this thread so long as he follows the rules while arguing his case. I make mistakes too, so don't assume it was in bad faith if I issued one.
Warnings do not count against anon.

Non Anon is doing a baby food ranking stream tomorrow. Technically the following day at midnight. This one has the most potential from what I saw of Prism Project to either be a lot of fun or a complete twitch whore trainwreck, so I'm curious what's going to happen with her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcRlMxooPTM

She's doing a chat a little later tonight if anons want to check that out as a pre-game.

Meanwhile Kamizuki-chan is a lot of fun and gives off Pippa vibes, but seems to be keeping herself under control for now. Her tastes in anime are somewhat generic but show promise that she's actually an otaku.  She likes vaporwave and J-rock. I'm going to wait for a few streams before forming an opinion but I like her so far. She's got the voice that with some more training and practice she could put on a good concert as well.

Sumi's lithsp is cute and she seems autistic, but she didn't actually explain anything about her character and seemed underageb&. I'll form an opinion of her based on collabs. She seems fairly comfy but I don't even know much about her.

Sara is a complete valley girl who talks 100kmh and has an accent. Her taste in anime is generic trash, but she has decent taste in games and likes punishment games (Dark Souls, Baldur's Gate, etc.) so I might give her a shot if she's playing something I like. She likes taim jingles and citypop though so I can forgive her shit taste in anime. Nobody who likes taims is a bad person. She's live right now:

Tomoshika is cute! Pikamee is adorkable! The new girl is a quiet water spirit and the new boy is a hot-blooded earth dragon. What I like about VOMs is that while they are an official group, GYARI runs the show as if they were independents with fairly minimal contractual obligations. I know Pikamee has been working double time as the VOMs international division's coordinator, and Tomoshika has been acting as PR back in Japan keeping the gears greased. Is the age of Hololive over as GYARI's assembled team takes center stage!? 

Their website keeps an updated schedule of planned streams and can be found here: https://voms.net/

Pikamee's content is the easier to get into as an English speaker since despite being Japanese, her English is good and clear/crisp most of the time. Tomoshika wants to do better with English, but she's not very good with it. She makes it up by being an absolute sweetheart. Based on Pikamee's explanation, Miuneru can't speak English and has no plans to learn it, while Daimonji is familiar with English but lacks confidence in his ability. Both new members are set to debut at the end of September.
I'm going to make a Nijisanji thread just to tell people that I want to have sex with Sasaki Saku. Her dumb Kansai-ben accent is kawaii. Her dumb little panda coat is kawaii. She's a big dummy and I love her.
Who are some good Hispanic vtubers? Who are you favorites? For me, it's ClobyPlay
How have your tastes changed since you got into vtubers? 
When I first started watching, my favorite at Hololive was Miko followed by Pekora (this was still when PekoMiko was a thing) and Korone and my favorites at Nijisanji were Roa and Ars. My favorite indie/third party might have actually been Mea.
Now the only Holos I regularly keep up with are Nene, Luna, Watame, and Aqua. Himawari and Sasaki are the only Nijis I still watch. I haven't watched any indie/third party chuubas in like a year; I think the last one was Uto.
Momosuzu Nene is the best of both the idol world and Vtuber world! Super hyper ultra delux magical girl Nenechi is the greatest idol and vtuber of the world! Join Nene Productions and receive the following benefits!

Vtuber gifs. If anon has a requested video and is lazy, I'll probably process it for him if it would make a good gif.
Mumei is a good VTuber. I recommend her.
Kson has been rising through the ranks lately and expanding her connections. Every day it seems more and more like she'll have her own company soon, and most important of all she seems happy that she's in charge of her own content. Most importantly Kson mostly streams in Japanese but gets across her energy in a way everyone can understand.

Do you think we'll ever get a proper 2D anime? Or at least Holostars skits? I, for one, am ready for more vtubers on the tele. Thread for TV-like shorts and actual TV productions down the line.

In this episode we get Japanese memes and love for the older gens.

Welcome to the café. This thread is for general discussion about /a/-related topics that don't fit in regular threads. Please keep in mind that niggers are not welcome. It's just a tans are fine.
it's that time of the year…
Just learned about this chuuba and wanted to share in a more quiet place.

e is studying to be a veterinarian in college, but has already done volunteer work and found a cute little rabbit idol who has lots of stories and experience working with animals.

She is passionate about her love for animals, but is also interested in mycology and microbiology. In the future, she would like to do content with microscopes.

The games she plays are all nostalgic, from the latest role-playing games to old classics.

We don't see this kind of educational content very often, but I think that is what makes her unique.

She was bullied all her life and was lonely, so she always wanted to be loved and to love others unconditionally. She has also used image boards and forums for years. But this finally gave her the confidence she needed.

I'm sure she'll be happy to have more friends.

>What is the status quo of home 3D?
Budget mocap can look good despite what stakeholders want you to believe. Uninformed kids are spending $1000+ on VR equipment only to use it in makeshift vtuber apps
As an example: Top
>head mounted display $600-1000
>6 point position tracking $600-800
>htc vive base station $125-250
>straps $20-130
>usb hub $20
>total cost: $1365-2200
>VirtualCast
Bottom
>own Unity 3D environment
>multiple camera angles
>lighting
>custom shaders
>facial expressions
>input from webcam, no VR needed

>How the fuck do they look so good in 3DVR without money?
Better lighting, shaders, camera angles, motion tracked props.

Have you been doing your reps, anon? Are the VTubers finally starting to resemble words and not moon-speak for you? Who do you like listening to, to assist your Japanese learning?
Friendly reminder that you CAN learn Japanese for your Oshi!
You just can't learn Kanji.

>Where do I start?
Depends on your goals. Obviously with Hiragana/Katakana, but you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't know those. Learn hiragana first as katakana has limited practical usage outside of cosmopolitan hubs and books. If you have fat stacks of cash and just want to go to Japan, just get a tutor or sensei and don't bother with these guides since you will do 100x better in a structured setting with Japanese. They will probably use the Genki textbook since it's used by English-speakers and SEA languages both. If you are a poorfag or autodidactic learner (you are probably not an autodidact if you are reading this), itazuraneko guide will be the place to start along with reading Tae Kim's guide or いまび (imabi) for grammar (you can read both but I would read one, do a little work for a month or two, then read the other when doing that). Japanese grammar is pretty intuitive, but it's easy to fuck up. If you suck at rote memorization, start with Kanjidamage as it is designed to be engaging and teach you through little snarky lessons. You don't have to understand everything in Tae Kim's guide/いまび from the start, but you should at least read through it once since you will absorb a lot of information passively. I suggest reading it at night as it will put you to sleep and kill two birds with one stone.
I like Yumemi
Banana.
Describe what your ideal vtuber would be, and then recommend others vtubers that fit their descriptions.

Keep in mind there's a 99%+ chance people posting know about popular vtubers like Gawr Gura.

New VOMs members announced!
Looks like Tomoshika and Pikamee have been lonely, so we're getting a shota delinquent and chromium, according to Tomoshika. She seems really happy. 

Video announcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piz4ezHJQ-M
I'll be waiting to see if Pikamee releases a statement too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHcQ8Op568I

It's about to start. I'm terrified and intrigued at what the /pol/bunny is going to say.
General thread for Hololive & Holostar announcements, collabs, etc. A generic catch-all thread for when anon doesn't want to make his own.
