English Dub Review: VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream “Episode 3”

Overview

Now down one working mic, Awayuki drops in on her genmate Chami for a replacement… and also discovers the side of her that she doesn’t show on stream.

Our Take

After a mishap requiring Awayuki to get a new mic, Chami Yanagase offers her a spare. This sets the stage for Awayuki to visit Chami, who, despite her shy and socially anxious demeanor, opens up to Awayuki. They stream together until late, leading to a sleepover that Chami eagerly anticipates since she rarely has friends over. Awayuki’s visit becomes a bonding moment, pushing Chami out of her comfort zone and enhancing her social awareness.

Awayuki celebrates her monetization with a stream, keeping her drinking to a minimum. The highlight is her transformation into a Mahou Shoujo, wearing Mashiron’s new outfit, and engaging in requests and call-in sessions with fellow VTubers. A surprise appearance by Vtuber celebrity Hirune “Hareru” Nekoma catches her off guard, adding to the excitement. The proceedings were filled with chaotic fun, wild references, and delightful interactions you come to expect, but none of it was boring so it has to count for something right?

Overall, the episode was a whirlwind of laughter and engaging moments, especially during the sleepover. Chami’s shy exterior breaks, revealing a bubbling personality underneath, while Awayuki’s new outfit and monetization mark significant milestones. Despite the chaotic pacing and plethora of references, the episode delivered in spades in its fun wackiness, especially what I can best describe as a “backwards magical girl transformation”, and I’m left wanting to see what happens next!
