Welcome to the 99% losers in market competition, your paid trip is now going to some crawdad hunt. No doubt funded by some national park foundation, a SOCIAL expense. It was always an insane supposition that "free market" would somehow show the winning horse PRE-EMPTIVELY to the contest. THIS IS the contest, Crunchyroll is allowed to participate and will not be the first to the finish line. EVERY purchase is a bet on bad odds, and every win is a bet on rigged ones. You buy the most popular thing because the popular thing only allows for controlled opposition, and it's as good as the controlled economy has the whim to spend on it. If capitalism works then Putin is fairly elected. Votes ARE just a steeply controlled currency that nobody is allowed to trade, because markets would make election wins based on who pays the most. Which by the way is 100% prediction rate in USA, the winning party also spends most money on the campaign. That means not a single MERIT has EVER closed that gap of SLIGHTLY paying less but still won on merit.
I had an argument with a guy in another video who was trying to shame their expectations. "What level of quality do you expect, star wars?" To which I said, "they want the same level of quality as the previous shows, so yeah, Star Wars."

And it's not a little tiny banner or tiny print or something, I mean that is easy to see and right there clear as day.

That's honestly incredibly sad. Miku is a big part of a large number of overlapping fandoms (jpop/video games/anime/virtual idols), there's so many people who want to see the full hologram performance and never could before because of time or cost, taking that away from them while being so misleading about it is just appalling.
There have been decent performances of Miku on non-transparent screens, usually mixing the environment of Miku's screen with a live performance done off-screen. Not even that Crunchyroll was able to do.
They're too busy giving money to who was it Megan the stallion to show up at their god-awful awards ceremony. I swear this company is just beyond irredeemable.
Heck, using a large movie projector with a movie++ sized white projector screen would’ve been better. That TV looked like the size my slightly rich uncle would put in his house for personal use.

I was super excited to see Miku would be coming to my country again for the first time in years, I was thinking about buying tickets, but if all i'm gonna see is a tv, I dont want to spend my money on that.
I've been able to take part in one of those concerts back in 2016 and it was a blast! The merch sold out faster than you could blink and it was basically a huge party! While I was quite a bit younger then (duh) it was really amazing to see the hologram technogoly I thought was really futuristic and incredible that they're able to make things work like that. It was like a huge glass panel that was nigh invisible when the lights got dim and didn't hinder all the showlights and so on. The way they integrated the band was also quite something. It was a real live-concert with a fictional person as lead singer and entertainer and it all worked so seemlessly. So I can totally relate to the disapproval of these people. Not only is the big black screen disrupting the immerson, it takes away almost all of the magic such a concert should have. Then again, crunchyroll am I right? Not saying Crypton isn't to blame here, but eh. Hoping they get at least a partial refund or a proper consolation for this...
This company doesn't know what the hell it's doing, it throws money at things willy nilly but with no actual ability to understand the market that they seemingly have cornered.

They did for bag.I live in japan and went to miku Consort. They were using holograms I feel like crunchyroll did not want pay for the equipment and was like led giant screen and two it's crazy to me that they payed Sega who I think has right to her just do her dirty like that I hope Sega opens a law suit for like ruin her image or something
There are several other issues with the expo. Everybody with a VIP ticket was meant to get a special bag, but Portland had more VIP tickets than bags. People were prohibited from bringing their own penlights unless they were from a previous Miku Expo because they would interfere with holograms (along with other restrictions which clearly imply holograms would be used(, and the stock of penlights being sold at each venue isn't enough for everybody to get one. The original ticket price was already higher than other Miku Expos, meaning people pay more for a worse experience. Scalpers had started reselling tickets for hundreds of dollars, but staff disabled ticket resales after people started reselling tickets as low as $5 in light of the issues. Aside from disabling ticket sales, staff have been silent about the disappointment. There is also speculation that the glass screen and hologram tech are at Coachella for a show that isn't even for Vocaloid fans, but I haven't seen that confirmed.
She was still on the LED screen at Coachella. It was a cute show, but nothing like the past. At least they stayed true and didn't bring out the holograms. Everyone got budget Miku. I could watch the exact same Miku concert in my living room and it would have been the same. Just less people.

Hatsune Miku, known mainly for being a virtual diva and have hologram concerts, in hands of Crunchyroll, the company that showed all it's corruption on the High Guardian Spice thing, not only using money for anime to make "originals" but also going super cheap and cutting on all they can to "keep the change"
Omg for real! We the correct way this should have been done is that they developed a new hologram system for Miku but CR decided to use the old one to "cut costs". The fact that they didn't use a clear screen TV is beyond wild to me. It literally looks like a 72" you can get at Walmart for $600 on Black Friday.
Shit like this is why I no longer preorder. Which is a shame, because I bet that's the only way you're ever getting a spot in the concert before they sold out.

I've never cared for her as much as other vocaloids, but it would piss me off to spend hundreds of dollars for the ANNIVERSARY event, to have this happen.
With Miku being confirmed for Cochella 2024 Im legit worried that the same issue will happen again come time that happens. Update: Well shit..... they did it at Cochella too.

@@Freedomcustom Exactly, I would expect the bare minimum from Crunchyroll if even that. The disdain they have for the fandom that keeps their business alive is palpable.
Yeah. Things were looking like shit pretty early on due to ticketmaster jacking the prices up massively because of high traffic, with scalpers being a massive driver of that, so costs were absurdly high, for no reason. Straight up, it would be cheaper to go to Japan and buy the most expensive tickets for Magical Mira than pay for 2024. And now, well, let's just say you get what you paid for, and what you oaid for was corporate scummieness, not a Miku Concert.
First they fucked over most of the schedule of Spring 2024 animes (so many leaked eps from various amount of series and Shinymas still haven't got their 1st eps aired to this day), and now this..... Ayayay, what a mess 🤦
Imagine paying to see something cool, instead you get the same experience you could have gotten at home, but worse. (Unless you like crowded places, then it might still be better than at home)
I mean their name is prominently in the poster and everything I would assume so. And I would also immediately back away slowly and then run. Nothing good comes from them these days, nothing.

Crunchyroll took your money, then instead of spending it on what they were supposed to (giving you the experience you wanted), they spent it on High Guardian Spice Season 2 instead. (Pirates of the Caribbean's meme "First time?")
I have always wanted to attend one of Miku's concerts. Since over a decade ago I remember seeing videos of her concerts and was totally in love with her and was so envious that it was Japan only at the time. I actually intended to visit this year's expo with my cousin but the tickets got sold out a few months ago which made me distraught that I let myself miss it. Seeing this, I'm both relieved that I dodged a bullet and sad that (likely) Crunchyroll would screw it up this bad.
Gee who'd have thought an event in close collaboration with Crunchyroll would be total garbage? Guess they still haven't recovered financially from paying celebs complete irrelevant to the ANIME industry to be at an ANIME award show Maybe they'd have been able to spring for the holograms if they hadn't blown all the budget on that Megan bish and other people that don;t matter to anime.
I couldn't believe they did that, I mean I know they're a crappy company and they do constantly crappy things but that was next level stupidity. And it did nothing to bring eyeballs to their absolute joke of an award show. I swear whoever is managing things is doing an amazingly piss poor job.
In alternate universe where Crunchyroll had a good bussiness management, they would had enough money to do a Miko Expo at Sphere at The Venetian in Vegas. Imagine what kind of show that will be if this happened.
I got robbed of seeing Miku in 2020 when the world ended for a while, and now by god I might be getting robbed again next week when I've finally gotten the chance to see the show?

I think LED would be fine if they doing it right Hololive EXPO use LED Screen, but not just like pop up TV like Miko concert did If they're gonna to do it should make it all the way through and give them EPIC LED concert
Thank you so much for making that vid. ❤ As you see many ppl are upset abt the situation and it's not getting better cuz they used an LED screen today at Coachella too. And the officials said that it will be like that at the concerts in Europe too. 😭
Man, Holo 5th Fes nukes this concert from orbit. One large venue with 3 stages, and tech that at least looked 3D from the crowd, and looked like there was no screen at all from the streaming setup. These three entities need to step their game up, big time.
Didnt they also effed up the merchandizing part of the event? I think i heard something about low amounts and variety or something though i might be wrong
I give Crunchydrol until the 23th of April the chance to apologize and either fix it, or refund the people scammed. If these issues aren't followed up upon, than I will take actions of my own. I won't be issuing a low suit, or even sink as low as a DDoS attack. I'll just make a full hologram stage on the cheap and show everyone how to build a Nico Nico party on a budget.
To play a VERY dangerous game of Devil's Advocate. Who is really to blame here: Crunchyroll or Zaslav? The company who owns Crunchyroll is pretty much owned by Warner and it made me think that this feels like something that twat would do to "save costs". On tbe other hand, Crunchyroll have a massive shitstain of a reputation that it pretty much is a no brainer that they would do something like this as well.
This is DISGUSTING. I was toying with the idea of going to the Boston event, but was stymied by the extortionate prices. I'm shocked that Crypton would ever agree to this nightmare. Signed, Miku Expo attendee NYC 2016 and 2018.
They actually fixed the positioning and set the screen back although its still a screen and not multiple hologram layer it still managed to blend through the stage pretty well. There damage control team is a disaster though for not addressing the issue
The vancouver show was a disaster. The other ones were already somewhat improved by moving the screen further back and changing the stage a bit so that it looked more immersive. The European shows (where I am going to) are in October. Suuuurely in that half year time, they'll come up with a solution for this crazy dumpsterfire, right... RIGHT? xD I highly doubt it and this is pure 100% concentrated copium speaking. But yeah, I paid my ticket with insurance and via Paypal. so I know what I'm going to do when I don't get what I paid for. :)
That is the reason why I don't go to Western Concerts Live. If I wanted to go to see a Miku Concert Live, I would rather go the extra mile and go to Japan.

my friend cancelled his trip with friends from his discord channel cuz they saw the last miku concert having an led tv instead of a hologram. he's using the money for a fishing trip while planning a get together with the discord chat
Sad that he had to cancel but at least it sounds like he will have fun. I hope he has fun and enjoys seeing his discord buddies.
You're friend did a right thing.
Fishing trips are better because free food
Welcome to the 99% losers in market competition, your paid trip is now going to some crawdad hunt. No doubt funded by some national park foundation, a SOCIAL expense.
It was always an insane supposition that "free market" would somehow show the winning horse PRE-EMPTIVELY to the contest. THIS IS the contest, Crunchyroll is allowed to participate and will not be the first to the finish line. EVERY purchase is a bet on bad odds, and every win is a bet on rigged ones. You buy the most popular thing because the popular thing only allows for controlled opposition, and it's as good as the controlled economy has the whim to spend on it.
If capitalism works then Putin is fairly elected. Votes ARE just a steeply controlled currency that nobody is allowed to trade, because markets would make election wins based on who pays the most. Which by the way is 100% prediction rate in USA, the winning party also spends most money on the campaign. That means not a single MERIT has EVER closed that gap of SLIGHTLY paying less but still won on merit.
Fishing has always sounded great to me
Can never do it though cause i feel bad for the fish
"Powered by cringeroll" Yeah, say no more, no wonder it was a disaster.
It was DOA on arrival.
@@chilomine839 Rest in Rip in Peace
@@buttsaggington6379SMH my head to Crunchyroll
it's a label that reads "spoiled food"
@@hiimapop7755Crunchyroll is such a POS of sh*t
If I went to a Miku concert I would assume it would be a hologram like it mostly always has been. This is just going backwards.
I had an argument with a guy in another video who was trying to shame their expectations. "What level of quality do you expect, star wars?" To which I said, "they want the same level of quality as the previous shows, so yeah, Star Wars."
That would be the very least. I expect some technological advancement from when it was started.

@@Kalidreamine Not shooting the messenger, but that is some grade A BS. So because the Japanese didn't complain about the downgrade, do we have to get an even worse version?
This is insane! Can't believe they pulled this shit on Miku fans! Being a fan myself I would be BEYOND pissed!
Hei: sponsored by crunchyroll
Everyone: uh oh. I think i know where this is going
And it's not a little tiny banner or tiny print or something, I mean that is easy to see and right there clear as day.
Anyone who would see the mark of that beast and still pay money to see it I'm really having trouble feeling sympathy for. Still, those ticket prices were outrageous for what was offered.

Crunchyroll ruins EVERYTHING.
They do, they really do.
They took the vtuber hime as well
That's honestly incredibly sad. Miku is a big part of a large number of overlapping fandoms (jpop/video games/anime/virtual idols), there's so many people who want to see the full hologram performance and never could before because of time or cost, taking that away from them while being so misleading about it is just appalling.
Yep, a very Crunchyroll thing to do.
People come for the hologram. If they wanted to see her through a TV, they can watch her at home.
"powered by crunchyroll" yup I see the problem here.
lmao Crunchyroll
If only Crunchyroll used the new transparent TVs.. I think it'd be a different and quite "revolutionary"
There have been decent performances of Miku on non-transparent screens, usually mixing the environment of Miku's screen with a live performance done off-screen.
Not even that Crunchyroll was able to do.
They're too busy giving money to who was it Megan the stallion to show up at their god-awful awards ceremony.
I swear this company is just beyond irredeemable.
Heck, using a large movie projector with a movie++ sized white projector screen would’ve been better. That TV looked like the size my slightly rich uncle would put in his house for personal use.
@@jackrabbit1704 True, there are even 120hz 4k projectors nowadays. And with that distant I don't think you'll even need a 4k render.

I was super excited to see Miku would be coming to my country again for the first time in years, I was thinking about buying tickets, but if all i'm gonna see is a tv, I dont want to spend my money on that.
I've been able to take part in one of those concerts back in 2016 and it was a blast! The merch sold out faster than you could blink and it was basically a huge party!
While I was quite a bit younger then (duh) it was really amazing to see the hologram technogoly I thought was really futuristic and incredible that they're able to make things work like that.
It was like a huge glass panel that was nigh invisible when the lights got dim and didn't hinder all the showlights and so on. The way they integrated the band was also quite something. It was a real live-concert with a fictional person as lead singer and entertainer and it all worked so seemlessly.
So I can totally relate to the disapproval of these people. Not only is the big black screen disrupting the immerson, it takes away almost all of the magic such a concert should have. Then again, crunchyroll am I right? Not saying Crypton isn't to blame here, but eh. Hoping they get at least a partial refund or a proper consolation for this...
Crunchyroll try cut corners and ruin a Fandom sounds right
This company doesn't know what the hell it's doing, it throws money at things willy nilly but with no actual ability to understand the market that they seemingly have cornered.

They did for bag.I live in japan and went to miku Consort. They were using holograms I feel like crunchyroll did not want pay for the equipment and was like led giant screen and two it's crazy to me that they payed Sega who I think has right to her just do her dirty like that I hope Sega opens a law suit for like ruin her image or something
There are several other issues with the expo.
Everybody with a VIP ticket was meant to get a special bag, but Portland had more VIP tickets than bags.
People were prohibited from bringing their own penlights unless they were from a previous Miku Expo because they would interfere with holograms (along with other restrictions which clearly imply holograms would be used(, and the stock of penlights being sold at each venue isn't enough for everybody to get one.
The original ticket price was already higher than other Miku Expos, meaning people pay more for a worse experience.
Scalpers had started reselling tickets for hundreds of dollars, but staff disabled ticket resales after people started reselling tickets as low as $5 in light of the issues.
Aside from disabling ticket sales, staff have been silent about the disappointment.
There is also speculation that the glass screen and hologram tech are at Coachella for a show that isn't even for Vocaloid fans, but I haven't seen that confirmed.
I don't understand how anyone would want to step foot in Portland knowing how many psychopaths live there. As well as pedos and druggies.
She was still on the LED screen at Coachella. It was a cute show, but nothing like the past. At least they stayed true and didn't bring out the holograms. Everyone got budget Miku. I could watch the exact same Miku concert in my living room and it would have been the same. Just less people.
Now the phrase *Powered By Crunchyroll* has become a red flag in any expo.
I mean they truly are a death touch.
How every single person isn't aware of who they are and what they do at this point is beyond me.

Hatsune Miku should sue them for screwing up her 10th Anniversary.
Hatsune Miku, known mainly for being a virtual diva and have hologram concerts, in hands of Crunchyroll, the company that showed all it's corruption on the High Guardian Spice thing, not only using money for anime to make "originals" but also going super cheap and cutting on all they can to "keep the change"
Crunchyroll is a joke.
Sadly, not a funny one anymore.
One of the biggest anime streaming sites, yet they can’t be bothered to fix their laggieness.
Crunchyroll hates anime fans.
I don't know how this isn't more well-known at this point.
I mean it's highly ironic of course but it is nonetheless very true.
Crunchyroll did Miku dirty.
treated her like a crack addicted Only Fans performer Jonesing for her fix.
I thought technology was supposed to be cheaper as time went on. You're telling me a 10 year old hologram technology is now considered lost?
Omg for real! We the correct way this should have been done is that they developed a new hologram system for Miku but CR decided to use the old one to "cut costs". The fact that they didn't use a clear screen TV is beyond wild to me. It literally looks like a 72" you can get at Walmart for $600 on Black Friday.
I've bought tickets for the MikuExpo in Europe the next autumn. I hope it gets better after the summer, it's going to be my first vocaloid concert....
Same
Shit like this is why I no longer preorder. Which is a shame, because I bet that's the only way you're ever getting a spot in the concert before they sold out.
Don't get your hopes up. Once an IP goes into the shitter 99% of the time it stays there and dies.

Yeah, me too....
I've never cared for her as much as other vocaloids, but it would piss me off to spend hundreds of dollars for the ANNIVERSARY event, to have this happen.
NOOOO WHAT DID MIKU DO TO DESERVE THIS MY GIRL😭
Crunchyroll ruining everything again... >.
With Miku being confirmed for Cochella 2024 Im legit worried that the same issue will happen again come time that happens.
Update: Well shit..... they did it at Cochella too.

Look at how they violated my girl....
It's 2024, someone as big as Miku should be doing an AR live at the very least.
U think something being funded by Crunchyroll was going to be remotely like its Japanese counterparts
@@Freedomcustom
Exactly, I would expect the bare minimum from Crunchyroll if even that.
The disdain they have for the fandom that keeps their business alive is palpable.
Yeah. Things were looking like shit pretty early on due to ticketmaster jacking the prices up massively because of high traffic, with scalpers being a massive driver of that, so costs were absurdly high, for no reason. Straight up, it would be cheaper to go to Japan and buy the most expensive tickets for Magical Mira than pay for 2024. And now, well, let's just say you get what you paid for, and what you oaid for was corporate scummieness, not a Miku Concert.
Ah yes that would explain the exorbitant prices on tickets.
And then anything involved with Crunchyroll is going to be terrible.
First they fucked over most of the schedule of Spring 2024 animes (so many leaked eps from various amount of series and Shinymas still haven't got their 1st eps aired to this day), and now this.....
Ayayay, what a mess 🤦
Imagine paying to see something cool, instead you get the same experience you could have gotten at home, but worse. (Unless you like crowded places, then it might still be better than at home)
Futanari Hatsune Miku: Put your mouths to good use, Crunchyroll. And start playing with yourselves while you're at it.
Dafuck
Yes i wll
Wtf is this seriously 💀
GO AWAY YOU PERV
Why do i feel like this comment remind me of nyakumi
considering the holograms and stage around them was a key part of those shows for many people... id be mad too...
this is both funny and sad.
who the hell funded and organized this thing? was it actually crunchyroll?
Who else but crunchyroll
@@Verxx-sc2tl idk like? Goodsmile?
I mean their name is prominently in the poster and everything I would assume so. And I would also immediately back away slowly and then run. Nothing good comes from them these days, nothing.

Crunchyroll took your money, then instead of spending it on what they were supposed to (giving you the experience you wanted), they spent it on High Guardian Spice Season 2 instead.
(Pirates of the Caribbean's meme "First time?")
It's like going to a concert and the band is replaced by a recording of one of their live shows
This is literally the Wonka Chocolate Experience but for Vocaloid 💀💀💀
Crunchyroll being lazy colored me shocked lmao.
I know what a truly shocking surprise.
A crappy company did a crappy thing.
Also the sky is up and water is wet.
I have always wanted to attend one of Miku's concerts. Since over a decade ago I remember seeing videos of her concerts and was totally in love with her and was so envious that it was Japan only at the time. I actually intended to visit this year's expo with my cousin but the tickets got sold out a few months ago which made me distraught that I let myself miss it. Seeing this, I'm both relieved that I dodged a bullet and sad that (likely) Crunchyroll would screw it up this bad.
“We lost the tech to go to the moon- Make a hologram of Miku.”
Gee who'd have thought an event in close collaboration with Crunchyroll would be total garbage?
Guess they still haven't recovered financially from paying celebs complete irrelevant to the ANIME industry to be at an ANIME award show
Maybe they'd have been able to spring for the holograms if they hadn't blown all the budget on that Megan bish and other people that don;t matter to anime.
I couldn't believe they did that, I mean I know they're a crappy company and they do constantly crappy things but that was next level stupidity. And it did nothing to bring eyeballs to their absolute joke of an award show.
I swear whoever is managing things is doing an amazingly piss poor job.
They could at least used a bigger screen/tv
Seems like the willy Wonka and the chocolate factory scam people comepered it to SpongeBob and crappy patty land
Bold for you to assume CR have that budget
In alternate universe where Crunchyroll had a good bussiness management, they would had enough money to do a Miko Expo at Sphere at The Venetian in Vegas. Imagine what kind of show that will be if this happened.
Feels like everything CR touched turns to shit...
The lesser known relative to King Midas, Crunchyroll.
It really does, they have the death touch these days. They haven't been a good company in a very long time.
At Coachella:
Some of Lana del Rey's performances were shown as holograms on stage haha.
I feel bad for the people that got ripped off . I wanna go to a miku expo someday
mistakes sometimes repeats itself: coachella this year used a tv screen to display miku instead of hologram.
I got robbed of seeing Miku in 2020 when the world ended for a while, and now by god I might be getting robbed again next week when I've finally gotten the chance to see the show?
Crunchyroll just spat in our faces and that's not cool.

Hope people doing massive ticket refund if they're allowed. If they didn't allow it, I guess it's lawsuit time. It's practically a scam.
I think LED would be fine if they doing it right
Hololive EXPO use LED Screen, but not just like pop up TV like Miko concert did
If they're gonna to do it should make it all the way through and give them EPIC LED concert
It's crunchyroll. They can't even get their streaming platform stabilized. People expected them to do right by fans?
OH MAN! I CANT wait to see these really cool holograms I’ve heard so much about!
Say what’s that weird TV doing on the middle of the stage?
Crunchyroll runied it again as usual
Thank you so much for making that vid. ❤
As you see many ppl are upset abt the situation and it's not getting better cuz they used an LED screen today at Coachella too. And the officials said that it will be like that at the concerts in Europe too. 😭
As soon as i heard you say "powered by crunchyroll" i knew things were just starting to go down hill from there.. Lmao
Cruchyroll skimping on the expenses for a cheap, reductive cash grab?
My surprise doesn't exist.
Man, Holo 5th Fes nukes this concert from orbit. One large venue with 3 stages, and tech that at least looked 3D from the crowd, and looked like there was no screen at all from the streaming setup.
These three entities need to step their game up, big time.
Didnt they also effed up the merchandizing part of the event? I think i heard something about low amounts and variety or something though i might be wrong
Churchyroll seems to destroy every thing they get there hands on to.
I give Crunchydrol until the 23th of April the chance to apologize
and either fix it, or refund the people scammed.
If these issues aren't followed up upon,
than I will take actions of my own.
I won't be issuing a low suit,
or even sink as low as a DDoS attack.
I'll just make a full hologram stage on the cheap
and show everyone how to build a Nico Nico party on a budget.
To play a VERY dangerous game of Devil's Advocate. Who is really to blame here: Crunchyroll or Zaslav?
The company who owns Crunchyroll is pretty much owned by Warner and it made me think that this feels like something that twat would do to "save costs".
On tbe other hand, Crunchyroll have a massive shitstain of a reputation that it pretty much is a no brainer that they would do something like this as well.
What if Hatsune Miku was in the Public Domain? (Alternate History)
isn't that literally the whole point of vocaloids?
...she's not?
@@jaydeleon8094 No the voicebanks are owned and copyrighted by their respective company that developed them.
What if you got a life?
@@marshmellowheadgamer1228 She's owned by the company that developed the Vocaloid software.
sorry miku... we all forgive you for being taken advantage of by soynchyroll 😭
This is DISGUSTING. I was toying with the idea of going to the Boston event, but was stymied by the extortionate prices. I'm shocked that Crypton would ever agree to this nightmare.
Signed, Miku Expo attendee NYC 2016 and 2018.
"powered by crunchyroll" oh, no wonder
"Orchestra Pit VIP Seats" Basically you get to stand closer to the TV!!! That's so cool!!
Crunchyroll can't even get the sign up for their streaming service right, is anyone really suprised by this not going well?
That's sony being Sony, selling the most expensive tickets for the cheapest possible event
They actually fixed the positioning and set the screen back although its still a screen and not multiple hologram layer it still managed to blend through the stage pretty well. There damage control team is a disaster though for not addressing the issue
Crunchyroll (probably): "yeah, but would AI give you holograms?!"
Crunchyroll be like quick scam everyone when miku concert still have a good rep 😅 very sly lmao
i really hope they chance it before they go to Europe because i already have tickets and this news don't sound good
yea, if I wanted to see a Miku show on a screen, I'd google it online and watch it from the comfort of my computer chair.
As soon as I saw Portland Oregon being one of the venue cities, I knew it was going a garbage fire.
The vancouver show was a disaster. The other ones were already somewhat improved by moving the screen further back and changing the stage a bit so that it looked more immersive.
The European shows (where I am going to) are in October. Suuuurely in that half year time, they'll come up with a solution for this crazy dumpsterfire, right... RIGHT? xD
I highly doubt it and this is pure 100% concentrated copium speaking. But yeah, I paid my ticket with insurance and via Paypal. so I know what I'm going to do when I don't get what I paid for. :)
Crunchyroll spent the hologram money on “hot dogs”, “hamburgers” and “pizza”.
I can revive this expo by streaming of me attempting to make it to round 30 on der riese with randoms
Crunchyroll and funimation can both burn in hell. Give me back my fan subs and dodgy anime websites.
A TV?? A regular flat screen TV? Thats... That's just an insult.
Glad to see all that subscription money is being well spent...
As soon as Hero Hei mentioned "Crunchyroll by the way" I knew why the title of the video is called what it is.
Imagine shelling out the cost of a VIP ticket just to go sit & watch a big screen TV. I'd be livid too.
well wtf, its only been 4 months in and there is already shit tonnes of disasters happening everywhere, like this is the REAL worst year ever
That is the reason why I don't go to Western Concerts Live.
If I wanted to go to see a Miku Concert Live, I would rather go the extra mile and go to Japan.
When you say crunchyroll, you could have stopped right there. 😅😂
You would think that for a "10th anniversary" they'd be more willing to use expensive tech, yeah?
