Trying to make a plot out of nothing leads to garbage like black rock shooter. Adapting songs into short specials would be the way to go. Maybe they can release the specials on TV and make the series into a short story collection like https://myanimelist.net/anime/7193/Aoi_Bungaku_Series

Absolutely. It’d be a drama about forced marriage. Miku-chan has to deal with the depressing perspective of marrying an ugly 35yo virgin. And she can’t even kill herself, because she is not human... A heartbreaking story with no happy ending.

I'd love to see anything with Gumi, but unfortunately Crypton doesn't own the rights to her so if there were to be a vocaloid anime, Gumi probably wouldn't be in it :(

so bc gumi is my fave and as much as I love miku, kaito, rin, len, and luka, with no gumi, i don't think i would enjoy it nearly as much if one were made

It’s been sort of done before with Mekakucity Actors which is based on the Kagerou Project songs. If you mean an anime based around Crypton’s characters such as Miku then I don’t think it has been done before. I also don’t think it would be a good idea as they don’t really have personalities, they wouldn’t really have an interesting character unless they built their persona off a few pre-existing songs.

Would this by chance be a thinly-veiled jab at your stereotypical vocaloid fans? 🤔🤔🤔


As if! It is a story based on real-life events:

My poor Miku, her carefree life ended on a whim... Tragic.

Reminds of that recent anime about the virtual yotutubers,except that one doesn´t have a plot which isn´t really what you´re asking for.But still i don´t think vocaloids have a lot to them in the first place,the mekaku city actor songs were adapted because because all the songs were related by having a story tied to them.I´m pretty sure all of miku songs are standalone so it would be pretty hard to work out a concrete story for them.

To be fair the Black Rock Shooter TV show is pretty good. The OVA might be forgettable, though, based on the fact that I've forgotten it already.

Regardless, it doesn't even star the vocaloids as characters.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

Yeah, you are contributing to the discussion but don't you think it is particularly nasty to make a comment like that about somebody who made a personal decision that has no impact on anyone whatsoever?

No, I don’t. I said no nasty things.

If you’re done - let’s not continue this meaningless off-topic exchange.

I would like to see Vocaloid anime but I’m almost certain that they would make it shit. And by shit I mean they would make it appeal to the lowest common denominator and that isn’t me. To make it good they would throw in as many genres of music as possible and put together a really gripping story. But it will be j-pop and j-rock vocaloid and they’ll all be doing cute things. Maybe some dumb male mc aswell in a harem or whatever. Sigh.

As much as I (used to) love Vocaloid, no, I don't want the anime. Not invested enough about the characters and not really into idol genre either. Unless the story is about friendship, adventure, thriller, then no.

They kinda did something like this already, with the already mentioned Mekakucity Actors + Hatsune Miku's appearance as a recurring chraracter in Shinkalion, and her apperance in that uses the Vocaloid program for her voice rather than the VA that provided the voice for the bank

As for an exclusively Vocaloid anime idk how I'd feel about it. Maybe it'd work as a series of little comedy shorts like Di Gi Charat or Miss Monochrome

She should be the necro undead singer for isekai titles. She could wear gothic attire and starts singing metal songs.

Actually this season has an anime based off of 3D/augmented reality performers (https://myanimelist.net/anime/40137/ARP_Backstage_Pass?q=arp) so I assume if a vocaloid one were to be made it'd probably be a similar concept, giving psuedo-backstories to some of the main songs

well they pretty much did that for the HoneyWorks series' afaik so it's not entirely undoable (albeit their songs are more musical stories rather than song songs). But I think the creator chose to omit personality traits on purpose so anyone could make their own stories so anythings possible lol

No, I would most definitely not. I already dislike their music.
I probably regret this post by now.
