Synopsis

Finding her life in the Lost City of Atlantis too boring, friendly but impulsive shark girl Gura Gawr swims to shore in search of fun. However, she soon finds out that she cannot enjoy life on the surface peacefully without clothes. Luckily, the nearby Blue Axolotl Beachwear shop presents Gura with a shark-themed outfit that speaks to her inner child.

Thanks to a flier posted for a Hololive Production audition, Gura has since become the internet's most beloved VTuber. But that has never stopped her origin story from being any less lovable than her YouTube antics.

Background

Shark’d premiered at the beginning of a musical livestream, "SHARK 3D LIVE!," on the official Gura Gawr YouTube channel. Shortly after, the animation was uploaded as a standalone video to the channel. The short features references to and cameos of other Hololive Production idols.

Tonari Animation, the studio commissioned by Hololive Production to animate the short, uploaded a behind-the-scenes video to their YouTube channel showcasing the animation process.

In this edition of Hololive's takeover of the anime industry, we have a new piece of animation about Gura living her life as a shark in her dreams, until she realizes that she is a part of Hololive, waking up from that dream and jumping onto her computer to start her stream.

The quality of this anime is amazing. For a production about a V-Tuber, this has more quality than your average anime. The art is crisp, the animation in some parts is fluid, and the colors are bright and impactful. Gura looks really good in 2D in this anime. Definitely one of the better V-Tuber ...

Doumo, Same desu! Hololive EN's 1st Generation Gawr Gura got a special animation! It's a simple little origin story of how an Atlantean made it into Hololive, with other various cameos from other Hololive characters thrown in for the big fans of the company. There's very little voice acting to it, but it still feels natural and tells a simple story without the need for dialogue.

Animation: 9/10 There's a couple of still shots along with some top-tier animation, and it captures Gura's personality perfectly.
Characters: 10/10 Gura is cute, and the short has a ton of Holomember references if you look closely.
Music: 7/10: The sound ...

Okay, I am no stranger to Hololive and its talents. I've reviewed the other two, so I might as well review this one. No TL;DR in this one since this is going to be a short review.

Basically a Hololive fan wet dream. The plot is about how Gawr Gura started her streaming career with cameos of some of her streaming friends. No dialogues, just """"cute"""" noises and grunts every now and then. Animation is close to a powerpoint presentation, don't expect anything, but since this is a youtube animation project I deem this acceptable.

If you're a Hololive fan, then you will definitely like this. ...
