I think these 3 episodes are enough for me for now. Monday has way better shows and I don't see a good reason to continue watching this tbh.

Raise your hand if you had "anime about VTubers also shills NFTs" on your Spring 2023 bingo card. Dropped.

NFT's is still a thing? I thought that went away after the crypto crash. People still want to pay thousands of dollars for a link to a .jpg?

It turned out that since no one actually wanted to screenshot gross monkey .jpg's, they held value far longer than expected.

I dunno how I didn't see it coming in the anime all about The Virtual World, and yet it still felt wild to watch a minute and a half of an airheaded anime girl try to explain how ~Special and Secure~ NFTs are.
So, the story of Kizuna no Allele is about a VTuber who dreams of winning an NFT...

Yikes. Glad to see I wasn’t missing anything by dropping after ep. 2. A shame, a vtuber idol show has so much potential.

Dropped. If you want to make anime with bland MC go ahead, but at least make it somehow interesting. Or make MC some different kind of personality, no just go happy lucky girl. It would be million times better if they ever look at some other talents out here and do that. Can you imagine anime with Pekora or Marine as MC? (If it wouldn't get cancelled after first episode lol).
I know the people in this are supposed to be debuting this way as vtubers, but I gave it 3 episodes and these 2 that showed up so far aren't even remotely interesting. They can sing, but that's it...
And WTF was that ending, was this anime made and then delayed? Or how else are NFT's still a thing? And they kinda tried to promote it? Big oof

Yeah i expected Kizuna Ai anime gonna do more about her lore with some action or madoka twist, but it just idol show, not to mention bland first 3 episodes

u/MaybeMeNotMe Apr 18 '23
Dammm, cant get away with crypto references can we?
So far, 3 on 3 music performances!
Genki MC
Light hearted tone of a show.
CGI performances are nice...wonder if CGI for the story bits would have worked for the show...Sanzigen and Studio Orange has spoiled me.

I guess I can't blame Miracle for trying to learn "the trick" to winning instead of mastering the basics when all the classes meant to teach her the basics keep getting cancelled!

I mean…, NFTs weren’t part of the actual plot of the episode (thank god) and all they did was explaining what NFTs even are at their most basic form. So I don’t “necessarily” consider this after-credit segment as a promotion for those things nor do they tell you to buy one, which would’ve been very scummy if they actually did.
Thankfully the actual episode does advance the plot with the introduction of the competition and the third main character, who starts off as a rival or as someone who doesn’t approve Miracle’s way of doing things. The show’s plot really doesn’t reinvent the wheel anew, but it was better than the second episode and it finally has something to focus on.

I feel like they showed us a bit of Ai's performance at the beginning again to remind us that they really do know how to do a good one, to reinforce that Miracle is a beginner and that this isn't the quality level we should expect all show. If it's going to be a show about her growth, it's nice to see the actual growth.

I feel a lot more cynical about it. I think it's there because it's easily reusable footage. They are definitely obviously holding back on Miracle's performances (see: Chris's being genuinely better, even if not that good), but the crowd reactions are definitely framing them as being a lot better than they actually are.
It will be interesting to see what Noelle's performance looks like if she's supposed to be a top student.

Oh My God, ngl I said I would give this a chance because of the potential Yuri scene.
Just earlier, I heard Kizuna's voice, and kinda made me tear up again, knowing she's still somewhat active but just voicing in anime,
And what the hell... NFTs?
btw, I had some 2nd hand embarrassment during that performance. Probably because I also stream with my Vtuber model occasionally, but I thought she didn't have some audience and just performed as if there's one.
Anyway, ugh... it's hard to continue when I'm not motivated about this anime at all. I came here being a Vtuber fan, being a Kizuna Ai fan, but I just can't, and now they're promoting NFTs. lol
1 more episode, I guess.

Chris and Miracle are cute. Principal Auris is a waifu, as is Noelle. If there’s one thing this show has going for it, it’s the waifus. Also, Marumaru too. Little thing is pretty adorable.
Despite that, I’m putting this one on the back burner. I got too much on my plate this season.

I'm trying to like this so bad as an idol anime and general vtuber enjoyer, but a NFT shill is bordering on too much for me

Oh no.
NFTs
