>>91956214Mine 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. https://youtu.be/xo6j2kTTFNc
>>91956979Pomu wagie ragie rape never :(
https://youtu.be/spi6yOS6zy4I've never watched more than 5 minutes of a nyanners stream, then and now.
>>91956214
Korone
>>91956214I don't have the video, but it was a clip of Marine's 3D debut.
How to beat an MGR boss and Pomu show up.
>>91956214Dokibird 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 .
>>91956214I 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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7n_qaQJUAthis one probably. I don't quite remember, but definitely one of her videos.
>>91956214Don't remember what exactly, but I got into hololive sometime after 4th gen debutI think it was some Korone or Miko clip, but don't remember exactly what.Ina is my oshi btw.
>>91956214Those fucking bandaids.
>>91956214Walking Dead, 24, Prison Break and Netflix
>>91956214I was an avid Kizuna AI watcher. I like Luna too but AI had more consistent uploads. https://youtu.be/jcXsLaYzATM?si=TObgndgyBz8_fdZMI 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.

>>91959631Cont.Later discovered I've been Beat Sabering to Fubukis originals.Fast forward to this day. I'm taking Japanese courses and went to Japan for 5th Fes.I see no way out of this hole.
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
>New board? I'll check it out, I guess other people are doing that Kazuna AI thing>Huh? Like the Nyanners from 4chan? That's weird, this vtubing thing is weird.

>>91956214Kizuna Ai RE7, then I got into hololive thanks to uploads of Korone and Marine singing mecha anime/tokusatsu songs.

>>91956214https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGVlyv5DfcsNo oshi because I'm attachment avoidant.
>>91957893
>>91957893how long has it been since this, I was in fucking hishschool when i found Kizuna now i'm a fucking fed of 5 years. Its been a long ass time...
>>91956214watch council debut live
>>91958903Same except it was the korone pingu stream. Not the first time I'd seen a vtuber but the moment I decided this whole thing might be cool actually
>>91956214Pandemic 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
>>91956214https://youtu.be/NasyGUeNMTs
Initially, Korone. Specifically Eekum Bokum.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5MpLQ8TQcQThen there was the gura beach.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50p94kVSp8kSo 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_e2QAnd thats how I plunged deep into the world. Both Idol Showdown and Connect the World.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkcTeZyknQg
>>91956214Back 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.
>>91956214Miko saying "nigga~" brought my attention to the hobby, but I wasn't truly committed till I watched this:https://youtu.be/0HIBDGni1-oThis truly was the golden age...
>>91959837Old guard dragoon I kneel.
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 itBasically 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 vtubershttps://youtu.be/0HIBDGni1-oused to watch some kizuna ai before that, but no serious involvementthen 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
>>91956214>hear cam girls lose to anime woman>watched some Melody streams because haha funny>hear she being featured in an anime news program>watched that Asacoco stream, and then another Asacoco, and another one, and another,...>run out of Asacoco, hear some other girl in the same company did some streams in English>watch Akai Hatto comfy minecraft streams>adidicted to Hololive ever since, never watch Melody again
>>91956979we should've known earlier nijisanji was so black
>>91956214When the algorithm hit I saw clips of HoloJPs blowing up and started paying more attention (saw Kizuna Ai and company before that but it was more just a curiosity at that point). However I don't know nihongo so I didn't get into them streaming. I was apprehensive of when the HoloENs debuted because I hated dub voices in general and saw it as an extension of them. However I heard Fauna's voice somewhere and was amazed how softy and nice it sounded and it began my journey into streams proper.It's a weird feeling now after Fauna's announcement because I don't really follow her or Hololive much anymore but she was what made me dive in fully. The green woman holds a special place with me
>>91956214This dork got me into it. I'm still here with her.
>>91970789I might have started earlier than most with Kizuna, but I stopped following the scene in 2018 and didn't come back until this year.
Outside of Oyabun, I will always be grateful for the chammers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR6kZQMFBa0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQQUMcRj_Q

>>91956214https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaqLk1YCv-swhat truly got me in was this, but before that I watched a couple of kizuna ai videos on asmr.

>>91978193OP hereI've known about Kizuna Ai but, Gura singing the song of the ancients motivated me to actually look at different chuubas.
>>91956214stream
>>91956214I think for me it was projekt melody on chaturbate (before she was even in Vshojo, like very far back melody) and then sinder, due to her being nominated for best lewdtuber and then dokibird with her arkham asylum playthrough; me watching doki was the biggest dig for me but it really all started with melody
>>91956214I was vaguely aware of vtubers thanks to Miko's nigga moment and several random clips, but after a romantic rejection and after watching several clips of Suisei being autistic on Tetris I really got sucked into the rabbithole. This clip I think is what started it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cC9NmmCbOoPic related is my current kamioshi, though Suisei and Subaru are very close in ranking. I also watch Minto coz she cutest girlfailure.

I still remember it to this day, was over at my grandmas house for the christmas of 2020 and a clip of some weird fennec speaking english-ish popped up in my recomended.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=674vacHP_Po
>>91978193It isn't that suprising that a lot of the people here are newfags, VTubers are still a niche within a niche with only a small part of the anime community enjoying chuubas. The only ones who knew about them before they blew up and entered the public eye in 2020-2022 through myth, council and dare I say it, unfortunately luxiem, were mainly vocaloid fans who came to know them through Kizuna AI.
>>91968970I missed out by ignoring hololive for so longfuck
>>91989745>were mainly vocaloid fans who came to know them through Kizuna AII came to know Kizuna Ai through PewDiePie and I reckon so did everyone elsethe fuck you on about
>>91978193>>91989745i think lots of people stick to their generals and don't check catalog too often>>91991176retardi knew Kizuna AI before i heard of that dude and was shocked to see his sub count. either way he has nothing to do with vtubers
