VTuber Nandaga Haishin Kiri Wasuretara Densetsu ni Natteta

Twenty-year-old former wage slave Yuki Tanaka now works among her idols: the streamers of Live-On, one of Japan's top VTuber companies. As the gorgeous, polite Awayuki Kokorone, she delivers only the most ladylike content. Unfortunately, her subscriber count and savings are at rock bottom.

One evening, after Yuki thinks she's ended her stream, she cracks a few cold ones—and more than a few crude jokes—while watching Live-On's video archives. But her viewers hear it all, and clips of her bawdy, drunken commentary go viral overnight. Yuki thinks her career is over...until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On has been waiting for her to snap all along and gives her free rein to drink on-stream.

Now free of all feigned purity, she jumps right into her new "rowdy drunk" character and is welcomed into the fold by her fellow Live-On VTubers, who turn out to be just as crazy as she is! With her views and finances skyrocketing, Yuki's work—for the first time in her life—is actually fun!

Good show and OMGTHE EASTER EGGS :D

A good show with a LOT of easter eggs. I want to talk about them, because nobody did till now.

The youtube thumbnails from real Vtubers (i saw some Hololive VTUBER over the funniest way to call out school days. All the mentions of real eroge and games like Sausage Legend let my laugh a lot. It is real close to a real vtuber stream at times.


This show is a ride for me. From the cast over some of the gags and situations, it just a feel good show. One of the rare shows where most gags works for me. ... And praise the Voice Actress for our Main Character. This was a real strong performance.

I think some of the animation decisions specially in episode one where wack, but to include real VTUBER Models is apreciatet. They real tried a lot for this series. For a all talk one, there is a lot of motion and cuts and this helps a lot.

So yeah. Real underatet.

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE AN ANIME ABOUT VTUBERS

This anime is the hidden gem of this season without a doubt—too underrated for its own good.

Imagine one day you are watching your oshi's livestream. From what you know, she's a very "seiso" VTuber: warm, wholesome, polite, and has a strong sense of dignity and elegance. After a few moments, she decides to end the stream, but well, oh well, she forgets to turn it off. Then you find her saying a lot of stuff that's not "seiso" at all.

Vtuber Legends tells the story of an ex-corporate slave trying her luck in the VTubing industry. Though ... she doesn't seem to have much luck in this industry either, one day a happy accident happens to her, exposing her much more vulgar, bubbly, and frontal side. Instead of going with a serious tone, the creator decides to have the most wholesome outcome of this situation, where everyone actually supports and likes her real personality.

This anime has a lot of comedy and is actually funny. It's one of the few animes that can genuinely make people laugh, especially if you are a VTuber fan. There's a lot of deranged words getting thrown around, like "gooning" and "came," which mostly come from our MC, and this is very accurate to real life, as there are indeed some VTubers that act like that. There's also a lot of VTuber-related content presented in this anime, such as VTubers simping on other VTubers, Yuri shipping, clipping, and they even created VTuber avatars specifically for this anime, which is good stuff.

Aside from all the comedy and over-exaggerated VTuber shenanigans, this anime also shows a grounded and realistic side of VTubing, like monetization, collabs, content management, and so on. So it's not only entertaining, but it also gives you a glimpse into how the VTubing industry works.

This anime also highlights the bond and friendship between VTubers that is supportive towards each other, and it tries to convey a positive message to always be yourself.

Every character is likable, especially our MC. Despite the fact that she's loud and a booze addict, she's still a fun and charming character, and Ayane Sakura really gives it her all in voicing her—one of the best voice acting performances this season.

The animation is beautiful and colorful. I also love how they're more focused on animating and designing the main characters, so much so that they don't even bother designing background characters, only showing them as grey, headless stickmen.

The opening song is a bop—that is the type of music that makes you want to dance like a maniac.

Overall, if you are a VTuber fan, this is highly recommended. Even for non-VTuber fans, this anime still works well as a comedy anime.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

V-Tubers? You watch them, right?
Streamers who use a 3D modeled anime characters, or the fact that most tend to be women, as their main excitement. And with that brings some “down bad” people in chat, and a bit of lighthearted comedy.

Well, to be honest, I don't think “VTuber Legend” is quite as amazing as people let on to be.
Such as its comedy. Now this can be a bit subjective, but I never exactly found the comedy to be very funny since most of it revolves around either being obnoxiously lewd from exercising or the MC saying out of hand sentences when drunk off ... 2 beers as a character trait.
Now that isn't to say that there are not some funny moments, but I found all of them were mostly in the first episode, with each consecutive episode being less comical and more bland in terms of comedy.

Is it fun though? That depends on if you like V-Tubers and want a story to watch, instead of actually going out of your way to watch a real V-Tuber and their antics. It probably is more enjoyable to actually watch a V-Tuber instead of this though, but that depends on if you would rather watch anime over a V-Tuber.

🗿 6.5/10, Fact checked by real Pippatriots. 🗿
