Virtual YouTuber Trend - Jiggly - 04-17-2018

A while ago @Skullmeat introduced me to A.I. the virtual youtuber. Very amusing to watch!

I just read an article that reported on the expansion of this trend:
Code:
"The trend of virtual YouTubers, who are typically 3D moe girl characters with hidden true identities, is taking off in Japan. As of March, more than 1,000 registered accounts were reported. It doesn't look like the craze will be slowing down any time soon, and various companies, including game developers, are trying to climb onto the bandwagon...Just like real-world idols, these rising stars will increasingly need talent agencies to manage and foster their success...Apart from Mirai Akari, the other virtual YouTubers who signed on with ENTUM are Nekomiya Hinata, Yomemi, Todoki Yuka, and Mochi Hiyoko. As the virtual YouTuber trend continues to develop, other top stars like Kizuna Ai, Kaguya Luna, Mirai Akari, and Dennō Shōjo Siro could be next in line to join them."

It's pretty interesting, and I'm not surprised this is increasing in popularity. I'm actually surprised I'm not seeing more of it already.

Here's the trailer for one of the highly popular virtual girls: Mirai Akari

And another of the popular ones is Kaguya Luna.

Mirai Akari is my favorite of the bunch. Kizuna Ai, is a close second, but shes not as fun to me. Definitely not something Id want my parents to see me watching. Porn would be easier to explain.
