The humor was good, the personalities of each characters was so vibrant. Each one of them felt unique and offered something different to the table. And while I don't watch VTubers, various media references every now and then I can still understand, especially that episode where they played the multiplayer whodunit game, which I personally relate, as I rode that wave back in 2020 as well with Among Us.
Even the sometimes serious side of this anime was a nice icing on the cake. Awayuki and Mashiro's episode was genuinely heartwarming, and so was the final episode. I know how much impact "graduating" VTubers has towards its audience, as I sometimes catch wind of that in my social media feeds every now and then.
Production side of things, it was serviceable. Not good, not bad. Oddly enough, while the anime used some 3D especially in the final episode, it didn't feel "out of place" at all, probably owing to the CGI nature of VTubers.
I had thought that the idea of VTubers was something I'd never understand. I found the idea of watching a digital avatar play/do something while only seeing the avatar's responses in 2D weird, but now I get it.
I probably still wouldn't watch VTubers on my own, as gaming, reading, and watching anime will still always be my top hobbies, and I feel like I grew out of my "watch streamers play games" phase years ago, but if I ever get the pleasure, I probably wouldn't mind watching clips pass by my feed every now and then.
As for this anime, if there ever is a Season 2 (though with the way this ended, it feels unlikely, which is sad), you can bet I'll watch it.
Overall, I recommend this anime, even as someone who aren't into VTuber culture. You can just think of it as a comedy anime (well it is, but targeted towards those who are into VTubers) where humor is pretty good that you'll understand it even without the complete context. Perhaps you'll miss some references here and there (I have missed a lot), but it won't impact your overall viewing experience, as this is first and foremost a character-driven story about a certain VTuber and its colleagues before it's a story about VTuber culture in general.
