If a video by a VTuber does not meet the above basic criteria, they would be excluded from AniDB on the basis of these basic rules before VTuber considerations (described earlier) become relevant.

''Example 1:'' '''PUCHISANJI''' by ''Nijisanji (VTuber Group)'' ([https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLout9ZF2aCT_rl62wpTqVXgUGz-qJE4Rg YouTube Japanese airing link] and [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVmWlO7cbVuvhFT8u8FyViqobSSLetAoK YouTube English subbed airing link]) is a VTuber picture drama which does not meet the animation rule.  '''PUCHISANJI''' meets the professionally produced rule, given that the video is produced by a ''Nijisanji'', a large corporation.

''Example 2:'' {{short|a14583|Virtual-san wa Miteiru}} is clearly animated, so it meets the animation rule. Further, it is produced by traditional animation studios {{short|cr24618|Bridge}} and {{short|cr57333|Lide}}, so it meets the professionally produced rule.

''Example 3:'' {{short|a15971|Holo no Graffiti}} is clearly animated, so it meets the animation rule.  It is not produced by a traditional animation studio; however, it is produced by the VTuber's parent company ''hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group'', a large corporation that would be able to professionally produce an anime.

Many VTubers give virtual song performances as part of their online persona. This is especially true if the VTuber is also a {{short|t860|virtual idol}}, where the song performed is potentially a first-party song that is purposefully produced for that virtual idol. While it is possible that VTubers may be contracted by a song promoter to create a traditional MV to promote a traditional song, in the current (2021) context of the VTuber environment, most VTuber MVs are self-promoting.  As such, by default, all VTuber MVs are not allowed on AniDB; VTuber MVs will only be added to AniDB on an exception basis.

''Example 1:'' '''ShinySmilyStory''' by 'hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrsGNMMghKM YouTube link] is a VTuber MV which meets the animation rule and the professionally produced rule, given that the video is produced by a ''hololive'', a large corporation. However, the MV self-promotes a song created by hololive for its roster of VTubers. If idols in the MV were replaced with corporeal humans, this would be a live-action MV, which is clearly not anime. Similar to the general VTuber rule, this is an example of essentially "recording a selfie as themselves", only in song rather than as a vlog.
