Preliminary (79/? eps)
STORY 6
All the skits will almost always reference things on stream. Non-fans may not get that but if you are interested you can always go to the comments section. I enjoyed all of it. This show is like a collection of references of each individual idol's streams that becomes part of Hololive Lore. It's basically a slice of life comedy in a "fictionalized HoloStudio".

+It's very funny when you get the references.
-The story is not developing just the daily lives of Hololive girls in the HoloStudio.
-It's very short. There are 80 episodes (as of now, the time this review is being written). Each episode an average of more than a minute but never exceeding 5 minutes.
-The earlier episodes are Privated. While it exists in NicoNicoDouga or BiliBili, it does not have subtitles. You may not understand why it's funny when you don't speak Japanese or Chinese.

CHARACTERS 8
The portrayals of idols here is quite accurate, very much same when they are on stream. It's nice that Hololive knows their idols as expected. One of skits is the "Human Tetris" starring Hoshimachi Suisei, they recognize that she is a character psychopathic tendencies. Another example is when they refer to Akai Haato as Hachamaa (her new name but officially she is Akai Haato), a quite minor detail but very well appreciated.

+Seemingly accurate portrayals of the vtubers in Anime form.
+Each character has unique designs and personalities.
- Non-fans may not know about these characters, so they'll have to watch clips and streams so that they'll understand why they are like that.

ART & SOUND 8 & 7
I hate CGI and anything 3D in anime but this is an exception. I'm an average enjoyer of clips and streams of Hololive vtubers so this is not a problem at all but I can imagine myself hating on this if I weren't fan but I am so it's actually fine. The sound is fine too, if you care about that.

+It's 3D. It's a good one since we usually see them in 2D or 2.5D on stream but in this show they are really in 3D.
-3D may be a turn off to some of you.

ENJOYMENT 9
Yes, I really enjoyed it but not the earlier episodes that were privated in I had to watch in NicoNicoDouga or BiliBili, since it didn't have english substitles.

OVERALL 7
This show has a prerequisite that you have to be a Hololive enjoyer first in order to enjoy this anime. I don't think a non-fan will enjoy this but if they do they'll become a fan.

-Prerequisites before watching reminds me of schoolworks. Non-fans will have to watch the streams first to get the references.
+But if you're into Hololive or Vtubers in general, then you're in for a blast!
