So apparently Pekora was ranked the 4th best female streamer in the world in terms of hours watched in 2020.
Yeah I saw that earlier and was kinda surprised she had the most view hours in hololive. I would have thought korone with all her endurance streams and higher sub count would have been the top. I'm betting the pekora + moona stuff probably pushed her into the top 5. I'm happy for the rabbit comedian.

Yo!!! Mage and demon queen. The main ship finally sailed!!! The kiss was glorious. All hail yuri! Well technically that happened like 3 weeks ago but I was a few chapters behind. Definitely the webtoon I most hope gets an anime.

And this is coming from a streamer who mainly streams in Japanese and who only had 100K subscribers at the start of 2020.

It really is amazing how much vtubers have grown over the last year.

I didn't realize Pokimane was so big. I only know her from back when she did ASMR.

And while I recognize that fourth is a pretty big deal, that's a pretty distant fourth. Oo

^It's good stuff.

So last night I finished Nier Automata's third ending.. is it just me, or is it overhyped just a bit?

I mean, it's definitely sad with the post-post-apocalyptic setting and I caught feels pretty often, but the way people hype the game, I was expecting one of the greatest video game stories, with some kind of major twist in the final act. I'd say the only such twist was in act II; there were some revelations near the end but they weren't as jarring as the big one(s).

Overall I definitely liked the game, with great characters and exploration of what makes one alive/a person. But rather than the story (and 2B's fine, fine ass), I think what I most enjoyed was the music. With pretty much every track you could practically feel characters' souls crying out in various emotions.

Saw that NF has a LA show titled Lupin, but apparently it's not based on Lupin the III but instead the inspiration for Lupin the III. I hadn't really known much about the inspiration. Kinda tempted to watch it, though. It means putting off watching the stuff they added for the Great Pretender again (which is funny, since I was super hyped when it released but got delayed and then delayed again until it's a matter of "Oh, I'll watch it someday")

Yeah I still maintain that when all is said and done and you have all the information (which the game compiles in the bullshit report), the story is actually stupid. They just do such a good job of obfuscating and presenting it that it feels important and smart as you are getting fed bits of information.

The combat/rpg aspects are probably some of the poorest balance I've seen in a triple A video game that I largely tie down to being able to carry enough healing items to full heal like 100 times and being able to use them while paused at any moment so the only thing that can kill is a oneshot unless you are just too lazy to heal. The player has a more powerful moveset than bayonetta but the enemy movesets are almost all incredibly slow and basic.

The music though. The music is godlike, I still listen to the soundtrack from time to time and that really gave the game it's unique feel. I also think some of the side story content was pretty good, especially the one about the E type android.

I thought she was the biggest female streamer by far. I was really surprised to see her not at #1.

Also I was wrong about marine being the next to hit 1 mil cause aqua did like 2 days ago. Gura pretty close to 2 mil though.

Not really. The complaints were very specifically related to that practice, so they found a way to directly stop it. This was at the same time that they blocked comments on those videos.

The thing probably doesn't recognize context, or they're too lazy to build something that stops it from ever not being private. There might have been things they could have done to adjust for it, but they didn't bother.

EDIT: Also I've been watching that last dungeon kid anime and I like it a lot. It's dumb fun. Kind of reminds me of that tenchi ISM show. Looks like I'll have a fair amount of fantasy anime to watch this season.

Like I've probably said in the past, the manga was really great from what I read of it, although it took a while to get past the crap.

Hey, could you do me a favor and pop your Agni into your second slot of fire summons and put a Huanglong where the agni was in the null element slot of friend summons? They added a second slot to the elemental ones a couple of months ago. Using Huanglong for killing ex+. If you don't want to, or don't have a Huanglong, that's cool too.

I've seen a lot of merch for Kimetsu no Yaiba around but, I guess maybe because they used localized name, the Japanese name didn't mean anything to me. However, I started reading the manga -- which has some pretty solid artwork -- and quickly made the connection, especially after a character talks about oni hunters.

And while the manga is pretty good and I'm reasonably drawn into it, I also stumbled on Suterareta Tensei Kenja which I'm very tempted to start because of the premise.

Man the Youtube algorithm can be scary.

I keep getting recommended videos from up to 8 years ago of certain HoloEN Vtubers "past lives" without me even looking for them.

I wonder how the girls feel about Youtube itself snitching on them.

I mean, Gura might be better off since I don't think she's ever shown her face before.

But I keep getting recommended videos of Ame and Kiara's past uploads where they definitely show their face and I'm worried they might get doxxed or something.

Hopefully Cover can protect them from any bad stuff that might come for them.

Same although they've also been throwing the JP girls old stuff at me as well. It is kind of nice knowing where they came from, a lot of EN was really not doing well before hololive picked them up and now they all seem to be doing great. it SHOULD be relatively fine. The majority of streamers show their face and generally manage to be ok. For a vtuber example nyanners still has up some of her old stuff that shows her face IIRC. She's got over 1 mil subs and fair amount of people that hate her but it seems to be going fine.

Then again vtubers for some reason seem to get hit with extra crazy people. I know uto is having trouble and taking a break right now because of it and even melody had to go through quite a bit and of course aloe even though she is back streaming under a different name (a very poorly kept secret). There needs to be stricter contracts with riggers and artists to prevent a lot of this stuff.

In other hololive news, Marine less than 10k away from 1 mil. Will probably hit it tomorrow if not today. Gura will probably hit 2 mil today or tomorrow as well. I wonder how high Gura will go before it slows down, if it ever does. It kind of surprises me that she grows SO much quicker than everyone else. She has over double the subs of everyone else that debuted at the same time and it's not like they are growing slowly. Won't be too long before Calli and then a little later Ame hit 1 mil.

You mean Kiara's other account?
It's not a past life. She still does the "Austrian Girl living in Japan" thing for a living.
I've gotten the same videos but I'm also subscribed to the channel so it's whatever.
Her latest tweet from that account was January 16th.

Also unrelated, but looking at her twitter gives me a recommendation to follow Cali's other twitter.
And Cali is also still tweeting off of that account.

The only ones probably not doing content on their old stuff are Ina (who wasn't an influencer, and likely still does her old contract work), Ame (because she was some B-tier vtuber who had like 10k followers), and Gura (because there's no point). And everyone knows all of this now, just like people know about Coco's other account.

Watched the first episode of 2 more isekai from this season. Dungeon only I can enter is pretty trash to be honest. I may continue watching it but it's definitely the worst thing I've seen so far this season. It basically centers around this concept that main guy can give himself skills or edit anythings skills (enemies, allies, himself). Doing those things however costs LP depending on what it is and the only way to gain LP is to indulge himself, generally in something ecchi. The characters are pretty bland.

On the other hand jobless reincarnation is really good. I was surprised to see it had such high ratings for a generic premise but the production value is great and the main character is enjoyable so far. The magic system is quite in depth and it's been fun to watch him learn about it. He's still quite young at the end of episode 1 so I'm wondering if he is going to be young the whole series or if they are about to just skip through a bunch of years.

Finished up to chapter 66 of Demon Slayer, which is starting to feel more than a little cliche. Also wtf was with Inosuke being ordered to cut Akara or whatever's arms? That just meant Rengoku died in vain. And way to kill off a character we barely got to know. Really feeling that emotional impact -_- Honestly, not sure why they bothered, other than just to have a Pillar job to a 12-moon which, considering that we already knew 12-moons had killed Pillars before, didn't really do much of anything. Granted, as soon as the hero started to demonstrate fire powers, I kinda suspected that the existing fire Pillar had to go away to make room.

Oh, and the art style makes it hard to tell some of the chicks apart because the designs are too damn close at times.

It comes across as having a female author with how they've written the main guy (well and now that I think about it having the female lead be the protagnist for a shonen romance manga). Manages to be pretty funny.
