Mine is related to your current oshi (love her too).

There was something so funny about a little anime girl absolutely losing her cool and raging.

Dokibird scandal. It was big enough to somehow sip into my autistic niche and I decided to check vtubers out because my life seemed a bit too easy at the moment and I decided punishing myself by hopelessly falling in love with 2d anime girl but real is a good way to spice things up .

I watched a little bit of all the top players in the Kizuna Ai era, mostly Moemi/Yomemi from Eilene Family but I never got super into vtubing of this era.
The first vtuber of the livestreaming era that I discovered was Saionji Mary when I was watching Japanese ASMR on youtube. Through her I discovered her fellow Honey Strap member Patra (and also Natori Sana). But I was all about Japanese ASMR around that time so that's all I watched from them.
Throughout 2019 I kept hearing about Hololive and Minato Aqua but I never cared to check what that's all about myself. In the summer of 2020 there was massive noise about Hololive and Coco and there was an Asacoco reference in Kaguya-sama. That time I finally checked out Hololive and became a total addict - for something like a year and a half I spent almost all of my time awake consuming Hololive and Nijisanji (Marine being my main oshi and Mito being my niji oshi). It was insane and I didn't want to live the rest of my life like that so I took myself out of the rabbit hole by force.

I was an avid Kizuna AI watcher. I like Luna too but AI had more consistent uploads.

I didn't get into the live streaming aspect until Matsuri's piss beer incident. I think I hate this hobby now though. I hate what it's become and the people it attracted.

this pic. i thought the characters were cute so i was curious about where they were from. that led me to translated okakoro clips, smok clips, and the rest of hololive from there. it was right around the 4th gen 3d debuts, and right before the holocaust and all the crazy shit started happening in 2020. all the drama made me wary and kept me a casual dd. it wasn't until myth that i found an oshi and she pulled me in deeper

Pandemic started and clips of Korone got a boost in algo because of her name. I thought live2D looked uncanny but I got over it, it was way more enjoyable to watch them than gross flesh streamers stuffing their faces on stream

Initially, Korone. Specifically Eekum Bokum.

Then there was the gura beach.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50p94kVSp8k

So I knew of Hololive back in 2020 but still could not get into it fully.
Then in 2023, Idol Showdown came out. And then, and finally, the announcement for Connect the World.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bitH6NZ_e2Q

And thats how I plunged deep into the world. Both Idol Showdown and Connect the World.

Back in early 2020 some JP indie who used vroid and spoke very basic English showed up in my YT recommends (unfortunately I can't remember her name. She was a catgirl with blond hair who wore a very long & generic brown dress. I think she had the word "House" in her name or something? Nothing comes up in my searches), so I checked out a few streams to learn what vtubers are. From there I checked out a few other vtubers like Kureha Kurono, Pekora, etc. and found some pre-debut posts for Mint. Been watching her ever since.

I was here from the beginning. At least before Ai-chan made her games channel, before fakkyu, before her PPAP even. It's been really weird seeing the transition from anime girls imitating 2011 vloggers to current streamer-idol hybrids. Japanese Youtube was so behind the times back then that those "aru aru" videos were still trendy, basically vlogs talking about relatable experiences in school/work/concerts/whatever. Then the western fandom kinda died when youtube removed the option for user submitted CCs and all the vtuber fansubs died. Back then even niche JP vtubers like DWU or Mochi Hiyoko had some western fans that subbed their videos, now they're almost exclusively JP because most people can't understand Japanese.

This takes me back. Its already pretty crazy there are people here in this longer than I have been and that there people who came years after I was into it

Basically I started seeing cute anime girls being posted in my pro wrestling threads. It started with an elite Pink girl then a dog girl and later a rabbit. I figured it must be some new anime thing and asked before finding out it was vtubers. I went looking for their stuff but it was all in JP back then and searching just lead me to clip channels. I didnt want tidbits I wanted to see streams so I ended up watch Pekora play Fallout 4 and folowed it up by watching her Halloween trap house compilation.

I got into it just in time to hear about the Holo-Caust and to see everyone prepare for Aloes return that never happened.I kinda stepped back and just checked out clips now and then before hearing there was an English branch and I missed their debuts. A little while later I found the Shark had collabed with the Detective and Chutulu girl on a medical Kusaga. The seocnd that Shark accidently ripped Bobs head off after telling him "It would all be over soon" I knew I had found my Oshii.

Funny thing though ti took me forever to finish that stream. How could I sit around watching this for 2 whole hours? Ahhhh...I watch Kaela play Minecraft nowadays and dont miss a beat

this one got me into hololive and made me really into vtubers
https://youtu.be/0HIBDGni1-o

used to watch some kizuna ai before that, but no serious involvement

then somewhere in 2021 got tired and was close to dropping vtubers alltogether, but found a clip of some purple dragon girl with laughing tic playing apex and that was hell of a ride from there. still a dragoon
