Watching this and despite @animeherald.com's live blog of some of the bigger gags, I was still taken aback by just how smart alek & inside baseball it got. Never thought I'd hear ASMR whisper mixing in an anime, and was certainly surprised by how funny yet uncomfortable it was in a whole new way ๐Ÿ˜…

... Not knocking it, but... it feels like a missed opportunity that they didn't just rig up a model in Live2D for the streaming sections. ๐Ÿ˜… It can be slight janky - heck, it'd help to sell the "this is a stream being held together by an iPhone, software, and a prayer" feeling you get sometimes.

Thanks for the heads-up; it looks like this is a new thing - they changed the URL format and didn't forward properly, so they're sending everyone following old links to the front page.
