Anime Expo Lite VTuber panels feature bigshots from three major agencies
Virtual YouTubers (VTubers) take over the 4th of July weekend! VTubers from Hololive English, Nijisanji EN and VShojo are gracing Anime Expo Lite this July! Take a look at this list of virtual personalities who will grace the annual event:
Personalities from US-based VShojo will be doing a Japanese-inspired “V-riety Show.” It will be part of the event’s videos-on-demand. Projekt Melody, Ironmouse, Nyanners, Silvervale, Zentreya and Froot participate in this special feature. Most importantly, this is filmed inside VRChat.
VShojo describes itself as ‘a talent-first VTuber company, dedicated to the growth and success of its members’. The agency launched last November 24, 2019.
The “V-riety Show” pops up on Monday, July 5th at 12:00 PM PDT (Tuesday, July 6th, 4:00 AM JST).
Aside from the pioneering roster mentioned above, VShojo also handles Hime Hajime and their latest addition, Veibae. Anime Corner spotlights VShojo during its launch with a brief Q&A with its CEO Justin “theGunrun” Ignacio.
