English Dub Review: VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream “Episode 2”

Overview

Awayuki hosts a surprise question-answering stream with her artist and fellow VTuber, followed by an even more surprising karaoke stream.

Our Take

This time around, Awayuki kicks off her VTubing activities with a Q&A session featuring her illustrator, Irodori Mashiro, and a nod to her signature StroZero alcohol. Mashiro’s new illustration enhances Awayuki’s trendy image, and their collaboration extends to a karaoke session with Sei and Shion. Despite the straightforward interactions, Awayuki enjoys the creative freedom offered by her VTuber company, embracing both her public persona and her odd proclivities.

During the session, Mashiro is surprised by Awayuki’s candid nature, affectionately dubbing her “Shuwa” as they answer viewer questions. Awayuki commits to having alcohol-free days while showcasing a new Live2D outfit. The spontaneous collaboration with Sei and Shion, featuring karaoke and question readings, highlights Awayuki’s transition from overwork at a black company to her current, more fulfilling role. Despite the fun, she becomes frustrated with a game during a solo stream, leading to a microphone mishap.

Overall, the episode delivers its signature blend of unhinged humor and colorful character designs which hilariously help the contrast with Awayuki’s spirited personality shining through her appearance. The focus on VTuber culture and the playful exploration of both sober and alcohol-fueled streams also contribute to the show’s comedic charm. While the constant alcohol jokes might put people off and feel like one big commercial for fictional alcohol, It still remained entertaining in its wacky proceedings.
