To each their own. I’m not saying you have to feel the same as I do. I’m just saying I’ll probably check it out because it’s interesting to me. And if it sucks, oh well, I just won’t tune in. No skin off my nose

For what it’s worth, I expect it’s not about making money off the vtuber account but driving traffic for the show, novels, and merchandise. The bulk of the anime industry is built around pushing traffic elsewhere; it’s why you see so many shows that never finish. Once they stop publishing the source material (manga, novel) there’s not much point to making the show anymore. Obviously there are exceptions for outrageously popular stuff, and shows that are fully original, but the majority is made specifically to sell other stuff

So my guess is they think they can get people who watch vtubers interested in the franchise this way, and that’s the driving force

To me, that’s what makes it fun and interesting.

If I wanted to interact with a character from Cyberpunk The Matrix there are plenty of accounts out there already doing stuff with that vibe.

I get that it feels “out of place” but I guess it’s all just fantasy to me anyway so I’m cool giving it the chance to see what someone can do with it.

I made a similar comment elsewhere but I think it will depend on the seiyuu. If they’re good at improv and understand their character it could be very cool. I imagine there are lots of fans who would love to be messed with by the wise wolf.

I’m just not sure how they will address the disparity between the story’s setting and the reality of talking to thousands of people on a computer. I’m assuming they’ll just make an effort to avoid any mention of the technology or situation, being very picky about what things they respond to.

That entirely depends on the seiyuu. I would, for example, trust someone like Takahashi Rie to properly represent their character (or at least decline to do it if she didn’t think she could).

Honestly if the actor/actress has good improv skills, I say go for it

It’s completely relevant.

This is also one of the movies you can use to find out if someone has a soul. Along with Anohana and Angel Beats

Me, seeing this pic on my timeline: https://youtu.be/i1ojUmdF42U

There is only one thing for an adult to say when children try to have sex with them: “stop, right now, we’re taking you to therapy” 😐

I was honestly prepared to start reading the books despite the lechery, and I was worried it would be worse in the books than the anime. I can only imagine what’s in there at this point

Yeah, I don’t particularly care if an adult having sex with a child is important to the plot. It is no different than the “she’s actually a 2000 year old kami” trope. Adults of any kind having sex with children of any kind = instant bail from me. I’m sure there’s interesting plot to be had, and character growth. Which makes it a shame that “giving the lolicon a chance to fuck a child” was part of it.

Maybe I’m misremembering the timing but seeing a grown man who is an admitted lolicon have sex with a child was disgusting to me. I don’t care what body they inhabit. It’s just gross

I felt very similarly for the entirety of the first season, right up until the last episode. That was a bridge I could not cross and quit the series right there and then. It was fucked up for multiple different reasons and I simply couldn’t get past it.
