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. | 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. | ||
<u>Example 1:</u> '''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. | |||
<u>Example 2:</u> {{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. | |||
<u>Example 3:</u> {{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. | Many VTubers give virtual song performances as part of their online persona.

<u>Example 1:</u> '''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. | |||
