The season of Summer 2024 (July to September), despite a variety of widespread criticism, definitely has some gems worth checking out. And it's more than clear that “VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral After Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream”is not one of them. Although this anime marks the return of studies TNKThe idea of watching a story starring a VTuber immediately puts off anyone unfamiliar with the concept. And since the VTuber industry focuses on interactions between talent and their viewers, it doesn't make much sense to bring the concept to an anime.

And you may ask yourself: why are we talking about such an irrelevant series today? Well, it turns out that the series decided to apply the “safe bet” to become a trend last weekend: borrowing the popularity of other bigger franchises. The most recent episode included some pretty interesting references, starting with a direct reference to “Good boat“, a meme related to“School days“.

Nice Boat refers to a meme generated from a comment on 4chan about a Japanese program's decision to show beautiful images instead of the final episode of the anime "School Days". due to the similarity of the episode to a recent tragedy in the country in September 2007. Amidst the outrage over the decision, a 4chan commenter wrote “Good boat» in part of the footage, quickly becoming a meme in the community.

But what probably caught the most attention was the fact that during a card game scene Rias Gremorythe protagonist of “High School DxD“. In addition to the prominent figure, she also showed her panties as already characterizes the franchise, but the coincidences do not stop there. The one who reacts to the summoning is Hareru Asagiri, played by Youko Hikasa, Rias's own voice actress.

Also, remember how we said that this anime marks the return of TNK studios? Well, who do you think was responsible for adapting “High School DxD” in its first seasons before Passione arrived to “fix the designs” according to some, or “ruin them” according to others? As if that weren't enough, Rias' design in this scene was done by Junji Gotou, responsible for the designs of the anime adaptation of “High School DxD” at TNK.

Although the appearance of Rias Gremory and “High School DxD” may generate rumors, the truth is that this is simply limited to a special participation within a series, and It does not reflect that there are intentions to resume the anime adaptation with a fifth season. This seems increasingly distant. But, in any case, there was no shortage of reactions:

• «Animes where Yoko Hikasa plays characters with big breasts are masterpieces».
• «Did they also get permission for the WS?».
• «The time when internet memes were enough to entertain is long gone».
• «It's your own character, right? ha ha».
• «I saw underwear».
• «What about the copyright of this anime?».
• «How little freshness this Vtuber has!».
• «The anime School Days is from 2007, there are already otakus who weren't born when the 'good boat' happened».
• «Oh, because it's the same company that made High School DxD, they managed to do this».
