I don't particularly care about Tales but Kiara's hype is infectious.
Yup, never played or really know anything about them, but is nice she's got this role for a series she clearly adores.

the overlay and anonymity allow them to put on a persona that lets them act a little more wacky and off the wall than they would otherwise, you generally see them cutting loose and being a less inhibited. They also sometimes play a wacky character which can frame the stream in a way you wouldn't get if they were using a normal facecam.

So it's like they're playing a character rather than themselves (tho you could argue most streamers are playing "a character" but you know what I mean >_> )? This might be a silly question, but what are some good "beginner" vtubers to check out? Or what are some of your favorites to watch. I suppose I could just read this topic, but I lack the context to understand the posts right now lol.

In a way. They're also quite simply a less-inhibited version of themselves. Imagine putting on a Halloween costume and just feeling different because of what the costume represents and how it makes you feel (powerful, silly, cute, etc.)

But most performers are the same way. They have a "performance" persona that they let the public see.

I would say any member of Hololive EN (English) are easy to connect with and understand. Who you find yourself connecting with is different depending on what you like. They are:

  1. Gawr Gura - The #1 Vtuber in the world having just recently hit 3 million subscribers. Cute and gremlin-y shark. Excellent singer.
  2. Ninomae Ina'nis (or just "Ina") - Half human, half tentacled horror. Comfy artist vibes. Surprisingly competent at difficult action games. Very prone to dad jokes and puns.
  3. Amelia Watson - Snarky detective. Gives a lot of abrasive toxic gamer vibes.
  4. Takanashi Kiara - Extroverted phoenix lady. Fluent in both Japanese and English (and German) and serves as a connecting point and introduction to the west for many members of Hololive JP.
  5. Calliope Mori - Reaper lady. Accomplished rap artist and is currently DMing their TTRPG run.

I like tales but I can't really get into that stream.

I'm also not too excited after the last game, so that could be part of it.

(I also just realized I had been confusing some details between arise and ys IX.)

I'm going to watch Kiara's VOD later but I used to be a huge fan of the Tales series, but I didn't really like the direction the series took with Zestiria. Didn't really get back into it until I managed to get the Vesperia remaster a year ago. Arise does look plenty of fun though.

HoloEN are all pretty great, though -of- HoloEN Gura, Ina, and Ame are probably the easiest to follow in terms of traditional streamer content (e.g. games and such).

Gura's basically the queen of comedic timing and improv humor, though in terms of actual games she's mostly a rhythm gamer with other types of games being...valiant efforts of varying degrees (despite her character theme, Maneater was a bad time)

Ina is perhaps the coziest streamer I have ever encountered (one comment somebody made that's stuck with me is "I need Ina's art streams to sleep"), she does art stuff at a professional level and has been going ham on Platinum titles for the last couple of months.

Ame is a salty gremlin FPS player who makes noises that I don't think human beings are supposed to make normally. She's been dialing back the salt somewhat but still breaks controllers occasionally. Also quite inventive with other content and weird stream innovation.

I like Mori but she's more musically and comfy hangout-inclined than gaming. Certainly tries, though! And an amazing DM for the TTRPG stuff that's ongoing. There's a reason the community jokingly refers to her as 'Dad'.

Kiara is a bit of an acquired taste. Respect the big effort put in but the initial impression can be pretty hit or miss depending on the content. Does a lot of JRPGs.

This really. Look through some clips of various people who you like, maybe some of the JP ones if you're okay with not understanding them (unless you speak Japanese, in which case...!) Lots outside of hololive as well on youtube/twitch. Really comes down to if you like streamers and finding one who does things you like.

Clips are the best, I agree. Pikamee, Pekora, Korone, Miko, ect... are a good jumping off point for JP vtubers as they have some real great clips out there to get a feel for vtubing

Pekora and Korone are two definite great ones to watch I've found, even if you don't understand anything they're saying. From the sheer evil genius of Pekora in Minecraft, to Korone's utter adorableness in whatever she's playing, both are still great fun to watch.

Well, I can definitely share my favourites too but in the end I think it's more about what clicks with you and what sort of streams you like than what is generally "popular" (well also my suggestion in particular is extra useless since she hasn't streamed in a month and a half)

I would recommend clips to start with, since they tend to lead to collab clips and you'll cover more ground on who sounds interesting to you that way.

I also really like the karaoke streams if you just wanna throw something on in the background. Personal favorites are Gura, Calliope, Marine, Towa, and Suisei off the top of my head. Also Astel from Holostars - there aren't really clips of his karaoke streams, but they happen often enough, and he always throws in a bunch of Disney songs (in English).
