Kizuna Ai's anime finally drops!

Let's pray to God this is a decent watch.

vovan1 • 1 year ago

yey, our 1st drop of the season :)

Leo Aestron • 1 year ago

When it begins, I was thinking that they maybe didn't animate Kizuna Ai, but asked requested her to create this scene through actual Vtuber Equipments.

Because... it just... really feels like I'm watching her vtuber video rather than one that's being animated, very real lmao

That's a nice way of saying her dancing is trash. I've seen better dancing at a maid cafe. (Like, a LOT better.)

Is this apart of a series or is this new ?

Wasa B • 1 year ago

LLC?

Helocat • 1 year ago

Limited Liability Company

Oh no they’re adding Vtubers to anime

EVERYBODY RUN FOR IT

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

You do not like Vtubers in the anime?

Vtubers bring Vtuber fans, and if anime fans are toxic Vtuber fans are corrosive

Jhanz Kun • 1 year ago

This is painfully accurate lmao

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

Okay, thanks I see Bowser.

Düölingöhhh Snorlax • 1 year ago

Sorry to be that person, but compared to Kizuna's song vid that 3D model and animation they used for Miracle's song was terrible, especially how the hair moved. This would be acceptable in some generic Aikatsu clone series, but Kizuna Ai is kind of a brand name and I honestly expected... something better?

Leo Aestron • 1 year ago

I mean, it is obvious that wasn't something animated, but recorded using vtuber devices.

People who watched vtuber videos should be able to notice this.
And Kizuna Ai's song doesn't look like animated too, notice something strange there? For the movement looks the same as in her stream.

This anime trailer had been released long ago and people already knew that Kizuna Ai character or name is some sort of special guest stuff here, that's why it has to be her.

But, I don't know about the avatar, maybe for anime version purpose?

The only animation that ever done was when they aren't doing Vtuber stuff (so, cut the Kizuna Ai part and Miracle vtuber stream)

Dreamblade • 11 months ago

Kizuna AI's was recorded with equipment, but then cleaned up afterwards by animators. The other girl's looks live. And come on, anybody who plays "Just Dance" for a few weeks could dance better than that, especially the compared to the other girl.

Anime animusphere • 1 year ago

Well let's give it some time. It's just hoping for WIT to bounce back and up their game but it's better than nothing

Spimy • 1 year ago

Same.. the opening scene brought my expectations for the CG up high only to be disappointed immediately afterwards

Yuuki-san • 1 year ago

Understandable, it's not the best, but I see a justifiable reason behind this. They're in school learning and not a big corporation like Kizuna Ai, so I think it makes sense they have a cheaper setup(?) LOL
Either that or the company didn't want the same level equipment as it mightve been expensive so went with the current choice instead haha

Delete Zero • 1 year ago

I know she was a vtuber but didn't know she was a singer. And wasn't she like the first vtuber ever or something like that

Leo Aestron • 1 year ago

We can't be sure of Kizuna Ai was the first vtuber ever or not.
But, one thing for sure is that she is a pioneer and have great contribution to Vtuber world like others from her generation including Tokino Sora of Hololive

Nikola Nikolov • 1 year ago

not the first but she was the first biggest Vtuber name that got viral internationally not only in Japan more or less sparking the whole Vtuber thing as a whole as we know it today

Yuuki-san • 1 year ago

Oh yeah! She has like an album and maybe some singles or an EP? They pretty much slap and she's also done collabs with some notable DJs

wwlaos • 1 year ago

Even DJ Mash and Rinku with VJ Only + Togetsu Rei?

Yuuki-san • 1 year ago

XD if only!

SHIKISM • 1 year ago

The art style and advance technology reminds me of Renei Flops

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

True.

Noah Winns-Cromer • 1 year ago

NGL, not exactly big on VTubers, but I can get behind this.

Better than Isekai Smartphone S2 at least.

Helocat • 1 year ago

Tell me why that got a second season!?

So much cool stuff involving Isekai and they chose to renew that filth. I'm still waiting for Spiderfu and Aristocrat Assassin

Nikola Nikolov • 1 year ago

no clue man im skipping it anyway i can wait a while till Jobles and Re Zero new seasons come out to fulfill my Isekai itch

Ken C Nuñez • 1 year ago

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

The episode was okay.

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

Miracle is great, the tea was so good she even took a brief rest lol.

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

Love the animation.

Yuuki-san • 1 year ago

Kizuna Ai was one of my first and last vtubers I ever watched. Hearing "Domo! Kizuna Ai Desu!" Brought back a lot of good, fun memories :')
Wasn't expecting a short performance from her either! That made me so happy!

Nostalgia aside, this was a decent first ep. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting the avatar incorporation into the anime, but it wasn't as bad considering they're all in school learning how to be idols

I'll be sticking around for this, mostly cause some of the songs actually sound good, and I'm curious as to how Kizuna Ai is associated with this other than just name haha

Grandpa Lampshade • 1 year ago

Nope

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

You drop it Grandpa.

Its so good. New era of anime. Virtual anime

Glinda • 1 year ago

Looks nice 🤗❤️

Paradise SLU • 1 year ago

Nice opening.

wwlaos • 1 year ago

Okay, but... honest question... does anyone actually still care about Kizuna Ai? I thought she stopped being relevant YEARS ago. >_>

Yeap • 1 year ago

I only heard of her from her collab with azur lane didn't think they'd make a vtuber anime

JadeJade • 1 year ago

Wait what? Isn't Hatsune Miku the first and biggest virtual artist?

wwlaos • 1 year ago

Hatsune Miku was a vocaloid - a computer program that created a voice based on certain parameters, which was then used as a basis for creating songs.

Kizuna Ai was a VTuber, a real person using software to project a virtual animated image (with motion capture, if they were popular enough) on the internet.

Two different things.
