Man... Just watched I Parry Everything episode 11... And... I think it's still just to absurd for me. The ending was heartwarming, but... The stupidity in the difference between Noor and literally everyone elses opinion of reality is downright painful to watch.
@Mitalma said in I Parry Everything, Dahlia in Bloom, & Vtuber Legend Anime:
You shouldn't need to blend the character and the actor together to acknowledge that there's still a real person behind it all.
While true that that's the way things should work... It's still a fact of life. The Japanese trend to play a character and the Japanese idol culture combine to make it harder. Even in the US or 'EN' market. One of the most successful EN vtubers of all time who breaks streaming records is Iron Mouse and even she gets asked things like 'are you a real person?' and she gives them a verbal smackdown. Mousie is a more typical EN example of a vtuber who is basically just themselves with 'lore' that we play on.
