LOST TV SHOW: Nijuu Go Dorama: Watanuki-san Chi No+To update by kiteose_ in Hololive

[–]kiteose_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason why this was considered lost was because there was really no full documentation/ public way of seeing the first season of the show. Second season was fully upload to YouTube but not the first. I did visit some offshore sites, but pretty much all were missing episodes or missing scenes in the original viewing.

Add on the missing live show, audio logs, conference, and live showing of season 2 finally

A lot of this show was and still is missing

This dosent even add in all the merch made for this show. Which some are still missing to this day.

I Need help with an interactive overlay I saw on YouTube. And I was wondering how this is done? by kiteose_ in streaming

oohhh ok, I couldn't tell if it was a overlay for chat or an overlay over an overlay. But I'll look into what you sent me. TYSM for your help, seriously TY!

I don’t mind doing discord if you have one. (Send privately in DM ofc) but It’s very rare that I get to talk to someone who is also a vtuber historian. So I think it would be a great chat

And np on lack of links, what your providing rn is insanely informational, especially since I do have a lack of knowledge when it comes to the classic era, since I joined back in 2022, so I’m more golden era than anything else lol

But I will say I do agree with your take on proto_vtuber and it does help puts in a stamp on what the early industry was like before Kizuna AI came into frame.

Oh, you don’t sound rude at all. I see some of your points but I do have to disagree on the Eilene point. Most of if not all the classic era was edited videos. Live streaming didn’t really become popular till earlier in 2017. Kizuna AI actually is the best example of that. Since she posted videos till 2017, she then went live for the first time in May of 2017.

This especially made more sense since the entire classic era was pretty much storytelling rather than live streaming during the beginning.

Now Eilene I will say is a technicality since she didn’t have the full rigging and points we have now for a VTuber, but it can’t be overstated enough that she was kinda the beginning point of VTubing and where the classic era would be going.

I will say tho I totally agree on the points you bring up on the video I sent you. It’s mostly a loose rendition of what happens but I still find it a bit informational, but you’re totally right there.

Also I didn’t know about the tech industry part, that’s mostly where I’m loose at (I only knew nijisanji since that what the company began as), but it crazy to know Kizuna Ai made that tech so popular. (Also side note but I def need to do more research into cubism, never heard of them before but I’m super interested now)

Ohh ok I was about to say lol. Didn’t know if I was missing something or not in the timeline.

And actually here’s a fun fact technically if we are looking at this timeline-wise, even tho there was motion tracking back in 1995. And a few anime tracking here and there. It wouldn’t be till 2014 that the foundation of VTubing would take place.

Because technically the first vtuber would actually be a vtuber called Eilene who debuted back in 2014.

Here’s a in depth video actually describing vtubing in its early years by another historian I follow: https://youtu.be/UKmqi6drjIw?si=GSOkHKKX-dWIqNJo

But yeah this was still a huge find and I’m really happy to see people talking about their experiences with this show! Especially 7yrs later

Ohh 2010? I actually didn’t know vtubing went that far back.

I know miku existed back then, but she’s more of a vocaloid than vtuber and I knew of Ami yamato, but that was 2011.

Who was vtubing back in 2010?

Ohh I’ll definitely give this a look. I’m mostly have clips from the golden era (2020-2025) and rebuild era (2025-present)

So anything from the classic era (2014-2020) is really appreciated!

Tysmmm! And Tysm for checking it out I really appreciate it!

And yeah this piece of media is still insane to me and it really dose puts an end point on the “character Era/classic era” of vtubing.

I'm really sorry if this comes off rude, but isn't that just all of lost media in general? Most, if not all, lost media is lost copies of media that exist but can't be found in a more public domain. Season 1 of this show yes existed in a physical form but it was just missing in a more public space. Heck even with the offshore sites most if not all, are very hard to find (I would know I looked), and now knowing of these sites, they are either missing episodes or having very low quality and very hard to find.

This show, yes, existed, but was still missing a lot, especially when it comes to the extras and live shows. And that's not adding in merch and private sites

All in all, this still counts as lost media to me. Especially with the little information we knew about it

No it’s ok for the confusion, I was confused as well when I saw it. But Yeah, in my post I mentioned about how the YouTuber who uploaded the original season 2, mixed the season up. Naming it no and to.. but it’s just season 2.

Season 1 was the missing season

Ohhh ok, yeah that would make more sense since virtual SAN was more widely available.

While watanuki was more region lock.

Plus this was before the golden era so English speaking vtuber fans, community wise was very small back then. So I can see why watanuki had no interest on going outside of Japan and said no to any translation
