Yes, Virtual YouTuber. Its a thing. Only found out about this yesterday.

Okay, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that was cute.

Yeah, I expect there will be to be more fanart of her soon, after it catches on. Might make copytag as well for inevitable parodies.

To be fair, Miku and the vocaloid family are Virtual Idols. Also she actually has a real voice, so it's really nothing more than just an animator and a voice actor doing their thing except on Youtube instead of an Anime episode.

I don't consider this a "Full time" virtual Idol Tuber just yet unless we get one that is also using a synthized voice like the vocaloids.

I think they have (at least rudimentary) mo-cap for her as well.

So it's basically zone-tan anime edition.

So I've watched a few of "her" videos...and surprisingly they were kind of cute and not that cringeworthy.Because if some real person(although I do know there is a real voice actor for this "virtual youtuber") youtuber's sales point is anime-type cute appeal,it would be cringeworthy as hell but being anime style character in the first place kind of helps mitigating it.I think this concept has a bit real chance of sucess unlike many other futile "virtual something" attempt.
