You frequently participate in tits out tuesday.

I'm on record as saying that part of the reason I became a VTuber is so I don't have to wear bras when I stream. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the part you wrote about anime sexualising women reminds me of a few months ago when i asked some people in circles i'm in what exactly they find so appealing about "jiggle physics". by jiggle physics i mean the typical kind you find in f2p/anime style games where they move more like water balloons than anything else and there's no bra to speak of. personally I found this phenomenon Very Unsettling and immersion-breaking (this is obviously not a woman's body), but i am asexual so i thought i'd ask the supposed target audience (women enjoyers, as I call them) if they liked it and why. I got one of two responses, without fail:

- something along the lines of "shut up its fiction you stupid sjw", after which they would continue to strawman me when i try to reassure them it's a genuine question

- "yeah it's kinda weird and/or not really attractive" or similar phrases

i think there's something there. i stopped asking for obvious reasons, but from my perspective it seems like the industry has sexualised the female body to the extent it's not even really a human body anymore & the only ones who seemingly like it immediately get defensive and accuse you of getting political when you ask them why, almost like they're weaponising the concept for another purpose entirely.

in conclusion i still don't understand the concept of more jiggle = more good (i thought the whole appeal was that it's a semi-convincing woman?)

yeah as a certified woman-liker i'm definitely also in the camp of it being "weird/not really attractive"

but that's definitely something to be said for anime cockroach wife syndrome (here's the origin of that for those who dont know)

like, the response of "shut up its fiction" is just defensiveness, and that makes sense to me because here we're talking about something allegedly sexually stimulating and also perceived as embarrassing so like yeah of course they're not going to break it down genuinely

so here's my guess. boobs are great, right? like, surely everyone who likes women likes boobs. so if they're jiggling, that also suggests there is More Boob there which means there is More Great. ergo more jiggle = more great. and this can effectively just be conditioned through repeated exposure too.

speaking in terms of animation, such as vTuber or game character models or whatever there is something to be said for motion catching the eye. a lot of times vTuber etc models are marketed based on sexual appeal so if the eye is being drawn to the chest, that's going to result in more focus there = more fun tingly feelings = more shallow investment in the character = more $$$$$$$$

but there are some things where it simply cannot be forgiven, such as this notorious beauty:

like this is definitely not a woman, this is like an inflatable flailing tube flailing boob girl or something. idk what they were cooking here, but whatever it was is definitely burned by now. i hope it was for comedy, but sometimes you can never be sure.

NieR Automata Anime episode 13-14

previously: [e1], [e2-3], [e4-5], [e6], [e7-8], [e9], [e10-12]

After a long hiatus to get the production back into some semblance of order, NieR Automata ver 1.1a came back a couple months ago! And a new cour means new OP/ED.

For the OP we have Black Box by LiSA:

The video does more for me than the song here, a cool montage of scenes from Route C. Kinda huge spoilers if you haven't played the game but maybe it's less so without context lol. We have images of the Tower, of 9S and A2 fighting (really cool sequence; Shinichi Kurita animated the flashiest shot), and a few other significant images from across the game.

The real highlight for me though is the ED, Hai to Inori by Gems Company arranged by Keiichi Okabe, which features some really cool multipart harmonies and distorted vocals. The ED itself is a nice sequence with some of the flower imagery the series is known for, but they also made a music video for the full song which involves a lot of stylish robes, ominous architecture, and glitch effects as a group of hooded women perform a mysterious ritual involving candles. It's DoD3 as hell and I'm so here for it...

What's the deal with Gems Company? They're actually a virtual idol group consisting of nine vtubers, produced by Squeenix. I believe this is their first time appearing in an anime ED, and the music style definitely seems like a departure from their other work. I suppose it makes sense, given NieR Automata began as an idol group (the original YoRHa, assembled to make the soundtrack to DoD3), to come back around this way!

Episode 13: reckless bra[V]ery

The first episode of the new season starts with an extended flashback episode, in which we get the reveal that 2B is actually 2E an Execution type unit, designed to destroy 9S every time he knows too much. In the game this is one of the final reveals, which you learn in the Tower sequence. But it's a subject so thoroughly covered by the side material (e.g. Memory Cage/Memory Thorn) that I guess they figured it was worth exploring now.

The frame story starts with one of the sidequests in the game, where you encounter an E type unit suffering a kind of guilt-induced breakdown. 9S figures out what 2E's deal is, and almost escapes his fate, only to be betrayed by his own Pod.

Notably, some of the action in this episode takes place in a location from the original NieR (Gestalt/Replicant), the temple near Façade where you have to do a bunch of 'clear the room without taking a certain action' puzzles. This doesn't really have bearing on the plot, but it's cool to see paintings of these zones.

It's all a setup for 2B to kill 9S, but she hesitates this time, allowing us to get a long delayed scene where they discover Emil inside a machine lifeform in the ruined department store. Emil is really adorably animated, scooting off in a very cartoony way.

Squash and stretch.

So, the 2E cat is out of the bag. Cutting to the present, we see Commander White declaring it's all finally over: she no longer has to order 2E to kill 9S, because it's time to end the war!

She's right, but not in the way she thinks.

Overall, good episode and a strong start to the new season. It may seem a little abrupt to reveal all this right after ending A, but it does a good job of rearranging material from the game and the side stories/concert dramas into a coherent arc, finally lets us see Emil, and sets up for the descent operation. There's also some really nice fight animation in the opening part of the episode, in which we see 2B and 9S really pulling out some moves to cut up the Machine Lifeforms together.

The puppet show is a skit about how 2B is finally saying 'Nines' now. I think they have some new sets as well.

Episode 14: Mission [F]ailed

We knew it was coming.

Commander White commits the whole of YoRHa into one massive attack on the machines. The Council of Humanity, for their own inscrutable reasons, let her hand out the YoRHa superweapons like candy and call in orbital strikes on the machine factories. The YoRHa put on their fashiest uniforms and line up.

The 3DCG on the flight units is massively improved in this episode: they're now using a cel-shaded style similar to the way the machines are rendered and it makes a world of difference. The descent scenes, compared to the first episode, are night and day. They even add a new variant of extra wings on top of the flight unit, in case this wasn't matryoshka enough.

Compared to the game, the anime increases the scale of the final descent operation, showing us 9S commanding the scanners in a complicated hacking operation as the Resistance use big YoRHa lasers to blow up a huge army of Engelses in a scene that is, well, very Nausicaa...

A magnificent mushroom cloud in the sky... No Anno to animate the explosions but they do a creditable job.

It definitely does a stronger job of selling the idea that this really is a planetary-scale battle with WMDs going to and fro; there's a bit of dialogue to explain why they didn't do this before (the machines would evolve to resist the weapons, but now they're trying for all out extermination).

But of course, it's going to follow the same arc as the game. There's some neat foreshadowing with 21O receiving visions of a red butterfly (also! we get to see 21O in battle! turns out the Operator units really have some moves!) before the Red Girls install the logic virus through the secret backdoor and all hell breaks loose.

If there's one thing this anime does rather well, it's evil grins. They really are doing the whole 'switch to a deeper voice to be evil' thing a lot now, pretty much every time the Red Girls are on screen.

To really drive home the 'YoRHa going berserk' angle, they have a subplot in this episode on the relationship between Scanner and Battler units. Early on, we're introduced to a series of scanners, whose Battler companions are being rather... affectionate:

The childish design of the Scanners is also underlined...

The lore is that there were originally male units of all types, but after the M02 trial unit all went berserk and killed each other, they decided male YoRHa would only be Scanner types (except in the alternate genderflipped universe anyway... look it's a deep well). Why they're all like, teenagers? Well you see, shotacons are 2% more efficient in battle... idk it's just part of the doll imagery right? boys represent a kind of vulnerability, and for the story to do its work, yorha have to be kind of have a certain naive affect. (we do see an adult member of the resistance get mercy killed by Lily)

Anyway, the point of all this is (apart from underlining 9S's feelings towards 2B, which are perhaps most explicitly romantic in this iteration) to set up the logic virus scenes where they all start murdering each other! This is NieR, after all. We start pulling on the imagery of lovers' suicides, a recurring motif in JP fiction, as the dialogue takes on a possessive turn...

Death death death! It definitely adds a dimension, even knowing the logic virus scenes are going to happen; another aspect is that 9S's scanner network is back-hacked and used to compromise the YoRHa, so we can add that to the stack of things that will drive 9S off the deep end.

More lore: the original prototype YoRHa No. 9 was the architect of the secret backdoor in YoRHa, after he discovered that the YoRHa androids are based on machine cores. He modified the plan so that the YoRHa would eventually be destroyed, to keep the secret that the humans are dead. So it really is all 9S's fault... sorta :p

All in all: a cool treatment. Next episode we'll presumably see how 2B dies. In the game this is an absolutely brutal sequence where you try to walk across the map as your systems slowly shut down and the screen glitches out harder and harder. Fascinated to see how they treat that in the anime!

The puppet show in this one is cute: it's based on the easter egg in the DLC where you fight the CEOs of Square Enix and Platinum Games in the arena.

This is what it looks like ingame:

Cute to see that acknowledged.

Next up, despair!

Mavis In The Sea

Commissions Open I have a Ko-Fi Social Medias Art © CentaurWorks Character (Mavis) © Mavis DeLuna Mavis ended up being one of the first people I followed when I entered BlueSky, I believe it was just a quick search of "VTuber" or probably mermaid VTuber related. I've checked out Mavis's content here and there and I find it quite fun when I stop in every now and again. So for mermay, since I go for Merfolk Vtuber fanart I wanted to draw Mermaid Mavis. I wanted to be careful and as respectful as I could going by Mavis's Fanart guidlines. And while I am really happy with the end result, let me know if there's anything I missed. I'm just really happy with how the shine came out here as well as how the sleeves turned out, it was a small but cool challenge. Same goes for the bra, as I noticed sort of similar effects on the model's bra.

[ichiharas-familiar]

I legitimately don't care what happens in that new vtuber comedy all I need to know is that they have these women wearing their avatar costumes 'irl'. This is created for an audience that is too far into the fantasy to be saved. 'Its a subversion of the image of vtubers' be serious. You KNOW those girls are streaming in sweatpants and no bra.
