Vocaloid is my second favourite anime, next to Touhou

 

[curlyfriski]

Everything is anime

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

It's actually the literal Japanese word for animation. Anime is animation of Japanese origin. That's the english-language definition. This isn't hard.



Then why did you bring up her origin?

No it's not. It's obviously derived from the English word "animation" but it refers specifically to Japanese animated series, films, OVAs, etc. Not mascots, commercials, videogames or whatever other mediums that can take on an anime aesthetic but still be their own thing.

You're basically arguing that anything not live-action and Japanese is anime, which is an insanely inaccurate and blanket "definition."

Are things like Pikmin, Japanese pamphlets, animated Japanese logos, etc. anime now?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Oh I didn't know this was happening! totes watching and I'm sad I didn't have enough money to go to the concert in LA. );

 

[Mr. Desu]

Hatsune Miku is on my TV! It's really happening!

 

[SquiddyCracker]

I can't fucking wait, greatness.

This is fucking hilarious.

 

[cajunator]

Miku is amazing. I have several figurines of her.

 

[Village]

it girl

 

[ShadiWulf]

saw this on twitter

 

[Aquamarine]

Hatsune Miku has actually been in the following Anime:

...in addition to all of the 3D animated videos created of her (in Japan).

 

[Mr. Desu]

Miku is amazing. I have several figurines of her.

Proof.

what figures don't you have at this point cajun

 

[SaintGalgo]

Just don't play World is Mine. Unhappy Refrain live is amazing, please Crypton.

I've always thought that Miku was awful sounding, even among vocaloids. Granted, vocaloids still have a long, long way to go to approaching sounding more natural (or at least, less...off), but I don't know the history of why Miku in particular became so popular. Prima sounds less worse on average, and I was surprised how natural it can sound (despite the glitchiness and obvious flaws when using it for something it might not be meant for).

II'll say it again: IA is really the best.

Just saw this commercial. Very interested in how this will go down.

 

[The Shogun]

I can't fucking wait, greatness.

This is one of the most batshit crazy things I've ever seen. Its simply amazing.

 

[cajunator]

Proof.

Tomorrow

 

[Village]

Tomorrow

Thats one hell of a title you got there

 

[Bombless]

Proof.

The word of the Cajunator is proof enough.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Yeah, there's a lot of good works using IA. Having said that, I think each of the Vocaloids do well in their own respects. Trying to force Miku or Rin into everything is a bit much.

I recently found this one sung by Miku, which I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwUw_u75SbQ#t=0m24s

 

[Branduil]

Preview of living rooms across America tonight.

 

[MG310]

Will Letterman still attempt the post-performance handshake? Conan would.

 

[cajunator]

Real talk though, Miku is a cutie.

 

[HUELEN10]

Me and my roomies are ready to watch, this is gonna be fun!

 

[Enron]

That's clearly a Leno crowd.

What do they watch now that he's gone?

 

[Bombless]

Letterman, according to the fine critics here.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Dammit, don't have eastern channels. ((((

 

[cajunator]

Ok heres one of my figures of her. Probably my favorite one.

 

[Jmanunknown]

It is almost hard to believe the stuff that happened in Macross Plus actually exist now. Now all that is left is transforming mechs and out of control A.I.

 

[phoenix296]

I am so happy right now.

 

[Bombless]

This. Can't wait until Miku gains awareness and tries to take over the world Skynet style.

 

[rpmurphy]

Too cute.

 

[CSX]

[FLAguy954]

For people like me who have no idea who the hell that is:

And a video of a performance.


...what is this, I don't even

Goddamn, after seeing that vid idk if I'm ready for the future...

 

[bigkrev]

This monologue is really unfunny

Spend time talking about Dominos Pizza and fail to mention Miku smh

 

[kunonabi]

This monologue is really unfunny

Spend time talking about Dominos Pizza and fail to mention Miku smh

nobody does a good monologue anymore.

 

[Extollere]

Can't wait for the next Letterman scandal on how he tried to have sex with Miku backstage and then realized she wasn't real.

 

[RurouniZel]

Once again, with feeling!

 

[kuYuri]

Edit: Awesome, made it on time it seems

 

[ComputerBlue]

Late show usually uploads musical acts so probably.

 

[cajunator]

[Bombless]

Ya know I hope this gets talked about the next day with morning talk shows. Even just a little exposure would be neat. The wife would kill to have a Miku concert out here.

I kind of dread this happening tbh

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Don't get the concert thing. If you're just going to be looking at a screen, you might as well do it at the comfort of your home.

Sound system is incomparable, though.

BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM

Edit: I'd go to a show that's all trance Miku.
