/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

watame :'c

>>47594012
A few 1 and 2 view indies and I'd groom them to hell and back.

>>47594012
I wish i knew japanese...

>>47594012
I'd watch Koyori more often

>>47594012
I don't understand a speck of Japanese and most vtubers I watch are primarily nips. Being cute and funny transcends beyond language barriers.

>>47594012
I watch Koyori and Pekora when they are live and it's great. I think Marine should've been a caster but watching the Puyoteto tournament live was top kino.

>>47594012
I love Hololive and I see the JP branch in a more favorable light than the EN branch. I did JP reps for many reasons but one of the main reasons was to watch JP vtuber who embrace being idols. Some EN members want to be idols but I feel like they aren't putting their life and soul into it. This is why I primarily watch JP hags like Lui and Marine.

>>47594012
I don't understand japanese, yet i still watch holojp.
Years of watching anime and playing jp vidya have lead me to this moment.
I can watch watamate and somehow someway understand the stream.

>>47594012
I know Japanese and Pekora is who I watch most of the time cuz of her way of speaking and her Voice being funny as fuck

>>47594012
Funny how you think I'd stick with Hololive if I knew Japanese.

>>47594012
Not in Hololive but I would watch Salome.
Nips swear up and down that she's comedy gold if you understand nip. I want to see if this is truly correct.
If we restrict it to just Hololive though, I'd watch Polka.

I understand Japanese. I tried to like HoloMyth when they debuted but never got into it and haven't bothered with HoloEN since then.

>If you already learned Japanese are you satisfied with Hololive compared to the EN branch ?
Are you trying to assess whether understanding both languages evens the branches out? Just speaking for myself, I think the JPs really are superior overall and it's not just an illusion created by inability to understand what they're saying. The only EN I watch these days is Fauna and sometimes Kiara, while on JP I watch Korone, Okayu, Miko, Nene, Mel, Koyori and Marine (I find Marine pretty hard to understand a lot of the time though).

>>47594012
I understand japanese and I only watch japanese FPS streamers.
I can't imagine watching hololive, I might die from cringe and boredom.

The only funny girl I've ever seen there is Marine.

What would you think about a thread to help anons learning Japanese ?
Some anons tried yesterday but the thread was dead and got archived very quickly

>>47594572
How can you not be bored by her 8+ hours of talking streams then? or her 8+ hours nth vidja streams

Pekora Okayu Korone Kanata Miko Marine and maybe Chloe. I'd try most of them a few times as well.

Sometimes I lament not trying to learn Japanese when I was 23 and could've brute forced some of it. Now I sit here at 31 with regrets and a brain past its ability to learn second languages.

>>47596065
You mean like old /jp/ hlg where everyone used to post their reps and push each other to improve?
not a bad idea.

I think Botan would be my oshi if i spoke jap

>>47596229
>Now I sit here at 31 with regrets and a brain past its ability to learn second languages.
Stupid excuses.
I took the JLPT N1 exam last year and half the exam takers were clearly well past 30.

>inb4 it will be years before I get to use it
No. It'll be practical even if you're like 6 months in.
Remember that 80% of speech is composed by the 1000 most frequently used words.
Do 10 words a day and you can hit 1000 in 100 days. Even for a geezer like you that time commitment shouldn't be too hard.

Polka, Watame, Okayu, Subaru

>If you already learned Japanese are you satisfied with Hololive compared to the EN branch ?
I already know japanese and only watch holo jp. Holo EN is a travesty in any capacity. What you would expect from them is “hololive jp but in english” but in reality the culture is way too different for that to happen. The average EN is as good as the worst of JP.
I genuinely feel bad for people who can’t experience the real thing because of the language barrier. The way the JP branch care about their fans and try to give back is heart-warming and honestly it made me a better person. They are proof not everything is ironic and that you people can be grateful to people who care for them.

Shinomiya Runa
No, I don't watch hololive at all anymore

>>47594012
>If you already learned Japanese are you satisfied with Hololive compared to the EN branch ?
Yes. That's why I don't get the "vtuber is in decline" thing when JPs are doing fine.

>>47594012
Pekora, I watch her anyway but it would be nice to understand what she's saying

still learning Japanese, I always watch Koyori because she can stream every day, and sometimes she can stream twice on the weekend

>>47594012
Understanding ordinary people speaking Japanese is easier, but reading light novels from 15 years ago is VERY difficult. I'm finding out the hard way.

YOU. START. STUDYING. JAPANESE. NOW.

>>47596229
It's just an excuse if you really want to do it you can

>>47594012
i'd watch okayu again

>>47594012
I'd watch the numberbunny
I think my experience with JP would be the same with EN if I were able to speak Jap
First, I wouldn't be visiting this place; I'd be on 2ch and other Japanese websites containing rrats, yabs, and all sorts of bullshit that would ruin my experience with the JP talents
Secondly, I'd be able to interpret not only what they say, but how they say it. Then I'd see Jap schizos be like 'Oh she sounds tired today' or 'Is she being sarcastic'. Fuck that noise, man.
tl;dr, I'd rather watch JP chuubas while not knowing a lick of Jap. Speaking the language would be more of a curse than a blessing

>>47597352
2ch is actually pretty chill. At least, the Hololive board is.

>>47597352
For most HoloJP there schizo are the same as here anyway

>>47597388
I see. Though I can only imagine all the BBS sites and forums other Japs have set up exclusively to discuss vtubers Though maybe those don't exist and I'm just making assumptions based on what I grew up on
>>47597483
Exactly. I'd rather just watch JPs not hearing any of that noise. We have enough of that in English already lmao

>>47597352
meh it's better to understand japanese
the nuances are either removed or changed when translated to english

>>47597505
I think there is more JP schizo than EN schizo here

>>47597541
Yeah, I'll admit it'd be great to watch them without subtitles and such. I'm teaching myself Jap at the moment, actually. But it came to me that once I understood their language, I'd be exposed to all the baggage that's associated with it too. So I'm kind of on the fence as to whether or not I should continue.
It's like admiring Mt. Fuji from afar, but once you get too close, you see all the garbage at the foot of the mountain.
>>47597567
Dunno about that, pal. Though I'll have to say I don't see that many Guraseethe threads anymore, so maybe that's becoming more true by the day

>>47594012
I don't speak japanese but with more than 20 years of watching anime I'm able to get the general idea of what they're speaking, especially with context included. I don't watch jps all that much but I've been watching them more and more lately. My favorite jp would probably be Luna, in fact she's the only one I consistently watch, very chill and cute streams that are easy to follow despite the baby voice. I only rarely watch the others when they're playing minecraft and only some of them like Kanatan, Mikochi and maybe Aqua and Pekora.

If you can already understand a bit of Japanese try learning some grammar and kana because that means your brain is already familiar with Japanese so it will be way easier (and will also give you a lot of satisfaction after learning what you always knew come from, anons who did their reps can understand that)

No one because they all bloody stream at 7 - 9 am! I'm not bother trying to watching a streamer when I'm trying to wake up or get ready for work. Save that shit for after work...

>>47594012
You've learned Jap the moment you realize streamers are not that great

>>47594012
I would watch Ayame. That said I already watch her, but she's very punny and witty.

I'd watch Fuwa Minato! Also Kagami Hayato and Yashiro Kizuku~
Trying my best to learn Japanese to watch my husbands.

Holostars

>Astel (M)
>Oga

My oshi is Kiara, but I hardly watch her now after she went back to Austria since there is a 12h difference. I used to watch Gura a lot too (and was a member) until she stopped streaming, and Ame until I got bored. I've watched a couple of Fauna streams tok, they're nice.

I watched a couple of Vesper streams after debut, but I don't watch any Holostars EN anymore.

>>47596229
Like others have said already, this is a misguided and dumb attitude. Long-term consistent effort is the key, even if it's just 1 hour a day.

>>47524422
I am thinking about reposting this thread if there is enough anon who wants to do their reps

I know jp, been watching hololive since 2019, dropped holoen after a year and i still watch holojp

>>47602022 (me)
And also, one thing I used to do was that I had almost always something in Japanese playing in the background when I was doing something else. ASMR, anime episodes I've seen, audio dramas, and all kinds of stuff in general. Now you could do that just with vtubers.
