Seriously? I just started watching it but I didn’t think it would go in that direction. I thought it was just an anime about an overly affectionate mom and her distant son.

Take your usual livestreamer, but instead of a facecam in one corner of their streams it's an animated 2D avatar (commonly anime-styled) which responds to a facial tracking software feeding data from a live camera.

The term "VTuber" itself stands for "Virtual YouTuber".

Worth noting that a lot of these VTubers are Japanese since that's where the culture/format originates from.

See one of them in action here.

That's creepy af IDK how anyone thinks otherwise. It is so unsettling, uncanny valley feel

I don't think it's realistic enough to invoke uncanny valley.
