Can anybody explain how a random software cover art character ended up being more iconic than basically all the girls from actual anime?

The software is Miku. She's not a "cover art character".
did you really waited 2 weeks to make this thread?
What?
take a shower
Shes literally the digital goddess of music, she has also a very sweet personality, zero dere bullshit, no other anime girl can compete
- she's more than a character, she's also a tool people could experiment and play with online, and this created a feedback loop of creativity
- her IP isn't locked, it's creative commons
- she's kind of a blank slate without a prescribed personality
she has also a very sweet personality, zero dere bullshit
Most of her depictions show her as arrogant, depressed and sexually exploited.
She's a vocalist you can make sing your own music. Think music stars and idols and all the fandom they get, then add in all the creative types working with her to make their own songs.
The only Miku video I have is of her getting grossed-out by Elsa farting various clouds out to teach kids colors. From this I inferred that her sense of fun is mere professionalism and that she's actually a somewhat dull and joyless person
I'll be able to if you can wait a couple of weeks. Gonna write a research paper that will probably touch on that.
I'll be waiting. Publish it on the arxiv and I'll try and catch it.
Let's anyone do what they want with her for less than 200$.
Miku is a WHORE
Because she has a nice voice anyone could use.
That's means it first got popular from people constantly using it, nothing to do with the design or memes that stuff came later,although it added to the already rising popularity it wasn't the originator of it.
Was that ever in question?
Now that we're back, I can share my thoughts on this movie.
It was crap. Project Sekai was a mistake.
Just because they have twenty characters doesn't mean all of them need to be in the movie. You can't have a good, cohesive narrative with twenty fucking characters all trying to share the spotlight equally. They needed to trim it down and and have one or two groups act as the main characters. As it stands, Miku is the only one that feels like a main character and she's a plot device that's missing for half the fucking movie.
All the ProSeka stuff feels like the shitty, ultra-commercialized side of Vocaloid. Even with the same general plot and themes, this movie would have been so much better if it was smaller in scale. It would have had wider appeal and been more timeless if it followed a small, local band or producer, and in helping Miku find her voice they find their own. Vocaloid was built upon these kind of up-and-coming dreamers.
I can only imagine in ten years when the mobile game is shut down people are going to watch this movie and have no clue who the FUCK any of the literal whos are. But Miku will be eternal.
Nah thats Kasane Teto
I was fapping too much to Miku ai porn when I realized the genius of her design
Long abundant hair is a sign of youthfulness
The twin tails leave the back of her neck naked
Shoulders and armpits are exposed yet detached sleeves make look covered up
Pleated skirt makes her hips look wider
Miniskirt with Zettai ryouki
You have over 15 years of Miku porn at your disposal and you still resort to slop.
I dread the day when people who grew up watching such Elsagate videos gain power.
1. For the same reason 2hu is fucking enormous: marketable IP that is essentially free to make money off of with nearly 0 forward investment - all you need is talent for music production and 120 bucks for a V4X + Miku bundle.
2. Unlike other voicebanks that are basically pocket versions of famous singers or VAs, Miku's voice is unique - Saki Fujita cannot replicate this voice for any longer than needed to record a sample. There are no alternatives to Miku.
3. The character design is the net average of the most popular anime character designs of 2000s, it's like the greatest minds of the generation gathered in the room to create the ultimate waifu.
Also
The only part of PJSK plot that is remotely worth reading is the niigo storyline.
Other than that idgaf about story or any gacha shit, I just play it for the rhythm game, cause PJDV is dead.
Liking long abundant hair is a sign of the most vanilla bland taste possible, go eat your corn flakes
You deserve a permaban for posting this so shamelessly right after the sharty hack.

Design wise
Miku
Oversized twintails creating iconic silhouette that was not assigned to anything before.
Mono color design with eye catching color that was not assigned to anything before.
Futuristic themed but still uses simple recognizable clothing with reasonable gimmicks, not too overbearing.
Design was released in a time when there are not a lot of this type of character designs yet. so stands out more.
Not attached to anything so can be attached to everything.
Already iconic with time so will always stands out to new characters.
Anime characters
Simpler design due to the need to be re-drawn.
Tend to use a more grounded/realistic design/clothes.
Overcrowded market in character design so hard to be recognized as original.
Attached to a story/characteristic so fan interpretations are limited.
New so needs getting used to.
Not to mention the voice of course and the fandom role in building her to be what she is today.
The combination of all of those creates Miku.
KEI understands the importance of silhouette, Rin, Len, and Luka also have the same design points as Miku. Rin's ribbon, Len's unique hair, and Luka's dress instead of Miku's twintails for the sillhouette for example.
that's showbiz, baby
he thinks miku is more iconic than say nami from one piss in japan
rumao even
democracy
anyone can create official miku content (if they pay money to crypton)
anime is dictatorship, you can draw as much fanart as you want but it will never be appreciated, 13 episodes is all you get in terms of relevant content, but with miku, it's almost 20 years of non-stop content, and counting
How the fuck are there people on this board, within this culture, who don't know about Miku? Fuck man, just go watch the Tell Your World MV or something.
Teto is a false prophet and also a hag
miku always has high quality art and miku content is released all year round every single year
you mean teto
you're a shitflinfing shitgutrash. teto supremacism is happening and you're witnessing it right now
april fools joke that got way out of hand
sure sure

The movie was bad. It would have been better if they didn't need to make every plot point happen 5 times (one for each group). Just focus on one group and make a good plot.
I thought the new miku designs were cute though.
I love miggu
I'm surprised there's not a slice of life anime about the Vocaloids yet
Miku would've been a better character if she had a penis, at least that's what I think.
teto
made for BMT (big miku twintails)
dark skin
thick eyebrows
futa
muscular
pubes
Cursed combination.
Someone in the 8moe Vocaloid thread suggested the very same thing, so it seems like your idea isn't too unpopular. I'd like to see it, too. Would be much better than making a film based on some shitty mobile game.
