![]() But from what I heard from the attendees, the panel she was part of was very fun, and they were hoping to see more from her. ![]() I felt like it would have been perfect for her to have her own meet and greets or host her own panels. As far as I know, she had one panel, but aside from that, she didn’t make too many live appearances. While there were tons of pre-recorded videos playing that featured her, meaning that she could be seen everywhere, she still did not have as much of a presence at the convention as I thought she would. Needless to say, I think Chrunchyroll and Cover Corp will look back on this as a successful event and continue to bring in vtuber guests and experiences to future conventions.īut for being heavily geared towards vtubers, I thought it was a shame that Crunchyroll didn’t bring their own vtuber, Crunchyroll Hime. He has been a meme in the vtuber community for the most part, so it was fun seeing how happy everyone was to see him and get their pictures taken with him (myself included), which he was more than willing to do. It was fun watching her wobble around and seeing how excited fans were to see her.Īnd to everyone’s surprise, the CEO of Cover Corp, Motoaki Tanigo (also known as Yagoo to the fans), made an appearance as well. Cover Corp even brought some super special overseas guests! A fan favorite was smol Ame, a chibi version of vtuber Amelia Watson. The Hololive experience zone and theater featured exclusive videos and messages from their talents playing throughout the day, and the fans loved popping in and out to see what was going on. ![]() I have to say: Crunchyroll shattered my expectations with everything they brought. There was a lot to do, but I was primarily there for Crunchyroll Expo’s big exhibit, designed for vtuber fans and including one-of-a-kind experiences and meet and greets. The amount of detail the team put into making this city come to life was immense. ![]() I’m not sure if it was deliberate, but even the convention center was colored orange and white, which further immersed visitors in the Crunchyroll experience. The crew members’ uniforms were easily recognizable and quite memorable, so lost souls could get help if needed. Mascots directed visitors toward a variety of districts, from the arts district to the shopping district. Everything from the decorations to the convention center itself was made to transport attendees into “New Crunchy City.” When walking into the exhibit hall, attendees were greeted by Crunchyroll Hime who welcomed everyone to a cityscape dotted with futuristic decorative elements and Japanese-styled skyscrapers. The effort put into creating a branded look and feel of Crunchyroll Expo is quite unlike most anime conventions. Our man Joseph was there, and found the entire event quite extravagant (in a good way), while also getting to indulge his primary interest-the vtuber events. Big guests and big announcements marked this past weekend’s 2022 event. ![]() With Crunchyroll growing in its share of and prominence in the North American anime industry (case in point: news of CR’s acquisition of Right Stuf dropped during the convention), it’s no surprise that Crunchyroll Expo has become one of the country’s preeminent anime conventions. ![]()
