MODERATORS
I'm not into vtubers and it sounds like there are a lot of jokes and references I'm missing, but what I did get from this show I didn't like. It seems like the story is set up to explore the space between a vtuber's online persona and real life self (similar to mmo junkie) but the lack of real life character designs for all the characters massively undercuts that. A lot of the jokes were like "pure girl says dirty thing" which, like, I don't know if that even really counts as a joke to me. MC also has a bit of the "predatory lesbian" trope in her and I don't vibe with that at all.
I also am sort of confused about where MC was at in her career before going viral. It seemed like she had thousands of viewers and a very active chat, even without doing any activity (gaming/art/asmr), but her channel wasn't even monetized? She's also missing that streamer style of speaking where you read out the questions you're responding to, which would be both more realistic and make the conversations she has with chat easier to follow.
Overall, I give the premiere a 1/5. It's possible that the referential humor I'm missing makes up for some of that, but without it there's not much left.
