Synopsis

Twenty-year-old former wage slave Yuki Tanaka now works among her idols: the streamers of Live-On, one of Japan's top VTuber companies. As the gorgeous, polite Awayuki Kokorone, she delivers only the most ladylike content. Unfortunately, her subscriber count and savings are at rock bottom.

One evening, after Yuki thinks she's ended her stream, she cracks a few cold ones—and more than a few crude jokes—while watching Live-On's video archives. But her viewers hear it all, and clips of her bawdy, drunken commentary go viral overnight. Yuki thinks her career is over...until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On has been waiting for her to snap all along and gives her free rein to drink on-stream.

Now free of all feigned purity, she jumps right into her new "rowdy drunk" character and is welcomed into the fold by her fellow Live-On VTubers, who turn out to be just as crazy as she is! With her views and finances skyrocketing, Yuki's work—for the first time in her life—is actually fun!

Episode 1

After seeing that, I want to grab a Mike's Hard Lemonade, but I don't drink, so I won't. Awayuki is a struggling VTuber, but everything changed when she chugged down on booze (which is the Strong Zero hard lemon drink from Suntory), and she goes crazy in her drunken state. It just so happens that she forgot to turn off her livestream and everybody heard all those things. Awayuki sure is cute when she's drunk, but everything was just turned upside down. Pretty humorous start there, and while I don't have great things to say about the studio that animates it, TNK does a solid enough job with this show.

Aoi Yuki and Ayane Sakura are two actresses who can carry a show on their over the top acting alone. So this show has Ayane Sakura going for it.

It's an interesting decision to have the Vtuber's actual personas and appearances match their virtual avatars...I would have expected them to appear completely different, certainly not dress the same. I'm not exactly one to consume Vtuber content though. I'm also not sure how long this gag can last in a full length show before getting stale.

I just heard the term "gooning" about 3 weeks ago, so I am wondering what Japanese term she was using and they bleeped out.

@HOOfan_1 At least for now I think they're intentionally obfuscating what the Vtubers really look like.

I'm not great with Internet slang. Fortunately one of the 'commenters' had it in writing when they were asking her what she meant -- otherwise I don't know if I'd have understood the words. Near as I can figure the word was どちゃシコ dochaSHIKO, not a super common thing but it's a thing. In writing it had どちゃOコ where the circle is a censorship replacement.

I believe from the constituent words it would equate to 'furiously masturbate.'

Most of the sexual language sounded like it came from a man. Shikoru for masturbate is basically like saying 'yanking it'.

I'm willing to give this a 3-ep rule, but it needs to come up with something more.

A not-definite 3 show rule. May not survive show 2 if it doesn't do something that really grabs my attention. The V-tube appearance and the real appeaance needs to be different. Otherwise, it's just a cheap art gimmick. (More cheap than art.)

Yeah I don't think I'll be watching any more of this. Having a V-Tuber avatar that looks all pure while they're saying a bunch of raunchy stuff is pretty much par for the course for a lot of v-tubers so it's puzzling I'm supposed to see this as anything surprising.

Having the people actually look like their avatars is huge mistake to me. It leaves you with the impression there's no difference between the v-tuber and the person behind the avatar. I keep wondering what's the point of using the avatar if they look just like them and have to remind myself there must be a difference. It also destroys the effect of the v-tuber avatar itself, which makes the whole endeavor feel pointless.

Episode 2

And now, Awayuki explains how things just didn't work for her in her previous gig as an office lady and started to drink away after a long day and a ton of Red Bulls. So now, she's an internet sensation and meets fellow VTubers Shion and Sei at a restaurant run by Sei's family. After a meal, it's onto karaoke as she's surprisingly a good singer when she's drunk. She's having a great time now that she's got a foot in the door doing what she loves rather than slaving away with her old office job, and of course she's chugging down on Strong Zero. But now, she's going to do some sober streams as well, as she plays Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, which is a game that's infamous for its difficulty. Awayuki definitely is loving her life now, though it was by accident it all happened.

Not sure where this is trying to go. If anywhere.

Her character name is 心音 淡雪 kokorone awayuki, heart-sound light-snowfall.

Awa-chan for short.

Awa is also phonetically the word for 'bubble'.

Shuwashuwa means fizzy like a drink.

So the joke about her new nickname Shuwa-chan is she's fizz-chan when drunk instead of bubble-chan.

One thing that bothers me with this show is the cheap art and animation. Esp. the Cardboard cutouts for people. if it was used exclusively for when she was in the black company; that would be fine since it reflects her depression. But to use it for people now? Just cheap and lousy art/animation. I'll give the show one more episode to see if it goes anywhere story-wise.

Episode 3

Chemi comes over to sleep, and she came prepared. And then in Awayuki's latest livestream, she sports a new look provided by Mashiron as instead of wearing her usual princess outfit, she's wearing gym clothes. And of course, she's drinking more Strong Zero on top of that, all while wearing a disclaimer on her shirt that you need to be old enough to drink. These other VTubers sure are something.

Don't think we'll ever see what the Vtuber's "really" look like.

@marklebid I am guessing it must be a gag based on the fact that no one ever sees a real Vtuber's true face

Episode 4

With money to afford games, Awayuki decides to buy some Wii Fit games and tries them out, but given her physical shape, she's quickly exhausted from playing them. And then there are references to School Days and High School DxD, both shows that are also animated by TNK, and with the mention of School Days, the infamous boat meme follows. Viewers would rather just see Awayuki doing what she always does and chugging down a can of Strong Zero seeing that this is her saving grace, after all.

This is one I need to drop, total waste of time. It's not an anime about Vtubers...it's just Vtubers...
