I’ve Fallen Into Hololive Hell, And I Choose Not To Get Up

Hi. I haven’t been here in a while, and for the two people who still remember me, you might be curious where I’ve been.
Well-

It all started with this clip.

It’s an innocent bit of fun of course, she clearly has no idea what the word is. The enrapturing melody with which the n-word was said, the perfect “Nani?” that coincides with the Franklin’s “what!?” combine into a fun little clip.

Then I started clicking on related videos. Before I knew it, I was too far gone.

Hololive has somehow filled that niche of mine for wacky Let’s-Player shenanigans that I haven’t felt since the days of my grade school when I watched a ton of variety gaming channels.

Except this time, they are cute anime girls.

Once upon a time, it was only Kizuna AI, and she was legitimately the only Vtuber I followed for the longest time. However, as this pandemic forced me to stay home, I found myself dug into a hole of degenerate anime girls that I can’t come out of.

Kizuna Ai is still a fun V-tuber to follow, but the corporate drama and admittedly “cleaner” content made me want to go for somebody different, and Hololive was exactly that. Without my knowing, The V-tuber scene has REALLY exploded in popularity AND variety for the past few years.

With a massive roster of “idols” taking the form of:

• Yakuza dragon
• Finger-obsessed doggo
• Gen X Pirate
• Elite shrine maiden
• Literal Looney Tunes character in the shape of an anime girl
• ……and many more

Hololive is the p e a k of comedy for me at the moment.

This video should give you the rundown.

So yeah, that’s where I’m at right now. I wish I could write more, but everything is just so clouded at the moment. I’ll write when I can, but I did want to share how much I love Hololive and how it’s helping me go through the hell of the real world.

Juuuuust watch out for your fingers.
