====vTuber videos created by | ====vTuber videos created by vTubers starring themselves in a video blog (vlog)?==== | ||
In general, vTuber videos, which by definition are animated, do not count as anime, even though these vTuber videos, especially videos by larger vTuber accounts, are often professionally produced to some degree, and may meet the plot requirement. The videos are not produced for a broadcast audience (TV and/or streaming sites such as Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, NicoNico, QQ, etc). | |||
When vTubers creating videos starring themselves, they are essentially "recording a selfie as themselves" and posting these videos on YouTube as their {{short|t7250|video blog (vlog)}}. However, since vTubers are not real people, the vlog is in the virtual world; in some ways, it is a parallel to "live action" videos of a real human person recording a vlog of themselves doing something. | |||
For example, '''Survival of the Fittest''' by ''hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0yB6bXuf1E YouTube link] and [https://myanimelist.net/anime/44042/Holo_no_Graffiti MAL link]) is a vlog where vTubers, dressed up in dinosaur costumes, discuss dinosaurs and their extinction. Had this vlog been shot with human idols rather than vTuber idols, it would be a live action video and therefore not anime. The substitution of human idols with vTubers does not change the classification of the video as a vlog, rather than an anime produced for broadcast audience. | |||
