In general, {{short|t7774|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). | In general, {{short|t7774|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.

When VTubers create videos starring themselves, they are essentially "recording a selfie as themselves" and posting these videos on YouTube as their {{short|t7250|video blog (vlog)}}.

Had the 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. | Had the vlog been shot with corporeal human idols rather than VTuber idols, it would be a live action video and therefore not anime.
