>>114770038>>114770045>>114770059Thank you, round up Amelia anon, hope you had nice weekdays
>>114770045>>114750329I wish you can add this news on the next round-up.
>>114777870/news/ is not in the habit of reporting on non-vtubers.>but they have avatarsDo you presume to add the Angels of Delusion from Zenless Zone Zero, or Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Extra Recode, to /news/ reports? Or the streams that Umamusume VAs do in-character with models?They're game characters with avatars to promote the flesh-and-blood concerts their VAs do.As Live2D models become more prevalent in advertising, we have to draw distinctions. You're free to disagree, but I was not able to find any evidence that these talents are acting in capacity as vtubers for anything but publicity stunts to push non-vtuber media. And if that's where we're drawing the distinction, then this thread is about to get a lot more busy with incidental game news.
>>114777870>>114777972Also, didn't this group retire from vtubing after their 1 year obligation to do so was up?They went straight to fleshposting only after that, it seems, so even if the group were considered vtubers before, they're definitely not now.
>>114777972Mugendai Mewtype have Live2D models, therefore they're Vtubers.https://www.youtube.com/@BDP_yumemita/
>>114778306And no, they didn't retire. Even if they revealed their faces, Mugendai Mewtype still streams with their Live2D avatars.

>>114777972>Or the streams that Umamusume VAs do in-character with models?Those are Vtubers
>>114761589https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=TVU-0uDK4ys
>>114778405I don't agree with "They have L2D models, so they're vtubers", as plenty of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean companies have been using L2D models for streams advertising their games. The Japanese in particular are very fond of just giving some random person a model and saying "you're our regional mascot now; good luck".I'm not entirely against talent that act as an existing character while streaming unrelated content, but I think treating their events as newsworthy opens a potentially dangerous door that is not fond of being closed.
>>114778762That said, in regards to Mugendai Mewtype, it does seem I was mistaken and was able to find recent content that isn't just shilling Bandori or fleshposting. For them specifically, it's probably fine for now.
