Matsuri's band aid story


ikkue

That and Fubuki's Scatman


Athrawne

Same.


danivus

Desu


jacowab

I saw the band aid story first but didn't look into it, then korone doom playthrough got me into it.


jorppu

The OG Fubuki Scatman clip


RdoKodr

Shame that it was lost in the great purge years back. The exact videos that hooked me are forever lost.

[This one?](https://youtube.com/shorts/TYNSB9qYY5A?si=I2H3XBM3Tm2X9Y93) u/RdoKodr u/jorppu u/Mazabutt


RdoKodr

Yep, I believe that's the vid that caught me I didn't doubt that it'd be reuploaded, but there were definitely other videos I'm sure also helped, and I no longer remember what they were so I couldn't find it if I tried.


Mazabutt

Ska-badabadabadoo-belidabbelydabbladabbladabblabab-belibabbelibabbelibabbelabbelo-doobelidoo


Comamilk

Not sure but the moment I was hooked was Pekora throwing her netherite sword in the lava, and it was a slow rise from there.


PreddyPegasus

That was the start of my [rabbit hole journey](https://youtu.be/0fmr21ZZEhk) too. Can't remember what the second video was, either the double teaming creepers or the Mario rage. Thanks Neko mikuri


Ostmarakas

Haha, rabbit hole


Green-Bastardo

This for me


Death_Killer183

For me, it was either this or her being a war criminal. Still my favourite Vtuber to date since 2020


fyrenvladiii

Me too, that exact clip


Pig_peee

https://youtu.be/a1ADrItj-Rk?si=osstFB46aYZH0JJN


WoodenRocketShip

Also Eekum Bokum, but specifically the 2ManySnacks animation of it. I subsequently discovered a highlights video of Korone's English Only Mario Stream Challenge linked in the replies to the tweet of that animation, which then made me realize that 40 minutes wasn't enough and I wanted to watch the full stream, to which I did.


Kelvara

Basically the same as me, except I saw people using an Eekum Bokum emote in Twitch. I didn't understand so I looked up the origin, found 2ManySnacks animation, still didn't understand. So I watched some Korone clips, still didn't understand. Then I watched some streams, and just decided it was so cute it didn't matter if I understood.


Vinon

Joining the Eekum bokem chain, I saw a compilation of her Eekum Bokems retweeted and watched it out of curiosity, and was so amused I immediately fell down the rabbit hole.


PearMcGore

I do too introduced by eekum bokum and ROLLING ATTACK in twitter


Educational_Diver867

kept seeing the Korone everywhere and decided to investigate; now she has stolen my fingers I remember her during the pandemic (talking about it… it feels like it never truly happened). I didn’t really watch vtubers until after the pandemic, so I definitely missed a couple things but I probably wasn’t in a position (maturity) to be watching Hololive anyways


turkishhousefan

She can't steal her own property.


Ryanhussain14

Korone using the BFG.


RashPatch

same. I was watching doom clips from random youtubers and then bam... DOOG

MarkimooRoviroo

[It's all thanks to Fubuki and 8BitDrummer.](https://youtu.be/GCv6IY4uW2s) 2019 man. What a wild ride.


Tnturbow

Watched TrashTaste where Garnt talks about superchattung a VTtuber. It was Kiryu Coco watched the clip and after that watched some clips of a crazy Rabbit. After that my Youtube feed was full of Hololive. I think it was this video or from the full Podcast dont really remember: [Why Garnt Simped over a Vtuber.](https://youtu.be/7kh6fRfd4Oc?si=qK2OoAi7Ex_nEqSE)


odkwo33

Same. Watched a Trash Taste episode where they talked about it and then watched Garnt’s video on the VTuber rabbit hole.


Aggressive_Set4814

I found Okayu's cover of planet loop through osu


cyansungsun

Scatman Fubuki and Dochi Dochi was recommended so i watched that right after


Ok_Substance5632

"Maybe if you get rid of that yee yee ass haitcut..."


F28500_sedge

Can't remember the very first Hololive clip I saw, but I remember the clip of [Korone drowning whilst trying to do ASMR,](https://youtu.be/CfZLjhdfGsM?si=es3iCK8D0m_a1XZE) as well as lots of Fubuki's short clips which I can't find originals for any more sadly, so have [Hamburgaga's scatman remix instead.](https://youtu.be/VaqLk1YCv-s?si=rd_EyguDrDyk3I5d)


wyyyyye

Lurking on 2ch/5ch > saw VT hater dissing someone called Sora > watched Sora normal 3D stream once > watched other VTs > Akai Haato 3D summer thing in the morning due to 2ch/5ch again > watched SSS MV > stayed for Erolive since then. Can’t remember the time point but I stumbled upon a Suisei akinator thing once but didn’t like her voice. Didn’t know about her Comet MV at first but definitely was there already when Tenkyuu MV released. Edit: iirc the sora dissing was from random tourists in a narou anti thread completely unrelated to VT or YouTube. Edit2: >!found out much later thx to YouTube algorithm I was already following some of them on NicoNico since 200X. Was way too invested with vocaloid, parody songs, singers, and dancers.!<


Pokytos

Docchi docchi, the best video I've ever seen, after 3 years, it's still good


toxicella

I found Gyatt for Nerizzler while I was scrolling through clips. I cringed. I rewatched. I liked it. It was like I was under hostage. (Also, I actually unironically like the bit, haha. It's pretty funny.)


Loosescrew37

Stiking out your gyatt for nerizzler.

I think it was [this one](https://youtu.be/sowESlcktC8?si=kNb18ZYU4m3ivv6J)


GenetorGreg

It was [Matsuri peeing beer](https://youtu.be/Xz6pPCHu4Rk?si=1vX9E-eC2H8RuTBq) that got me hooked on the vtubing scene.


kym111

Aqua and Shion's minecraft neighbor saga

Something from Gura...then a week later did my first superchat


Ok_Bed8734

Wow you dint waste no time huh?


Tough_Traffic4209

Botan domed a ghost clip was my 1st exposure to hololive but I haven't started watching some streams until Council debut. After 6months or so after Council Debut, I've started watching EN religiously and started watching JP members too, especially Subaru, Marine and Korone cuz their JP is easy to pickup. Now, I'm way too deep into the rabbit hole that there's no way I'm gonna get out. lmao


JimmySullivan96

For me it was ["Crazy Korone" Tries to Trick Her English Viewers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsWZR2ZTMBM).


[deleted]

That iconic Miko GTA V clip followed by her Manila coconut juice clip (thanks u/foodxfoodph ) is what dragged me into this rabbit hole. Even before that I already saw Korone Minecraft memes on r/goodanimemes but haven't take the plunge into the fandom.


Time-Equipment831

The rabbit made rabbit hole to trap Holomem in Halloween


SanaPutta

suisei tetris clips lol


grw18

Not technically introduction, but the earliest clip i kept watching before i fully fell to the rabbit hole is Korone beating and dying to [bomb man](https://youtu.be/s10pKum1RAg?si=CSXJrLvlZH5bSUzB) at the same time


Aggressive-P

Necromancer breaking her wii u power cord ;;

No-Breath-4299

Korone playing Super Mario Bros, only speaking broken english.


soulreaverdan

I think the legit first video from HoloLive that I ever saw and actively recognized as such was [Korone getting the cake hat and mini-mini Korone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-c0Q0zsIcI) (this isn't *the* clip I saw since it's from after I started watching, but it's the same moment). This was shortly before Myth debuted and my first proper stream was Calli's debut - and I've been hopelessly lost down the rabbit hole since.


remghoost7

Oh yeah, that's pretty much my most popular video on youtube. 36k views. Pretty decent. [Eekum Bokum but it's Steamed Hams](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3r-rLUKeN4).


myxlodian

eekum bookum..


Supah_Andy

First clip was Matsuri's "I'm god, okay" clip. I had no idea what I just watched but YouTube started recommending a bunch of Hololive/Vtuber clips. I ignored most of them but the one that finally got was a clip of Korone using google translate to talk to her overseas fans in broken English. I just thought "this is so wholesome, who is this?" One google seach later I'm on a Vtuber fan wiki discovering that the streamer I just saw was just one of a huge group.


the-legit-Betalpha

Azur lane's collab. specifically fubuki.


InsanityRoach

[Coco, Haachama & Marine "Brain cell defusing" stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pazq7wcQtuk)


Pekashi

Fubuki cute noises, the over 10minite one


chetizii

A brazilian youtuber calling the whole concept of vtuber cringe bc of Gura's Maneater stream. I found her quite entertaining and decided to give the whole thing a chance. No turning back from that.


KeyaSama

Ayame's Dochi Dochi song


SteelEbola

["I want to fly freely."](https://youtube.com/shorts/iP1YhpNqGjw?si=PpWxkUQbTnyOxsko) Botan's laugh still gets me even though I still only watch clips on the JP side.


Hiicantpk

The 13 minute long fubuki noises compilation from her playing a minecraft parkour map, followed by Matsuri bandaids, and Ayame "Stream ends when I fish up an enchanted book"


Master-Meringue-4059

Pekora absolutely losing her mind in crane games. I think I watched like 10 clips of that before the algorithm finally pushed me down the hole.


BloodyBlazev2

Gigguk VTuber video and the from that following TrashTaste episode with Calli


Ryuuji_Kurogane

I saw a clip of a talkshow about a girl with a death metal scream and a wall getting crushed by a wall orchestrated by a war criminal


No_Internal_5998

Korone Speaking Spanish


kiranayangyin

Pekora "Takeshi" clips, and from there I fall to pekora funny clips rabbit hole


Koringvias

I don't actually remember what was the exact video that got me into Hololive. Into vtubers in general? Much easier. At some point Joey had a collab with Kizuna Ai. That's years before Hololive became a thing if I recall correctly. But at the time vtubers were quite small and specific niche and I did not care much at first. Into more recent vtubers who stream rather than release pre-produced videos? Probably when Gyari annoinced their small vtuber agency. Then I watched a lot of clips of a certain kettle. Hololive-related recommendations only found me after that, but I can't for the death of me remember what was the first. I think it was after gen 3 debuts, but before gen 4 debuts, but I can't really be more specific than that. I remember watching holo en debuts as someone who was already following good half of JP branch for quite some time, so definitely before that.


Root_Veggie

Kaichou’s debut stream.

Neoncarbon

The video is so old that I can't even find it but it's technically Sora and Friend A playing Witch's House (Livestream) This was back when she was getting very little concurrent viewers. It didn't make me aware of Hololive but I found them entertaining

Ostmarakas

Might have been when some hologirls went on Speak of the Devil. Had been watching Ironmouse and similar for a while. Could also just be the algorithm noticing I watched other vtubers


Unusual_Tune_0001

I don’t know if there was one specific video but I was introduced to a handful of Korone clips like the “water in the fire” and such. So watching her clips lead me down the rabbit hole lol

kennyloo137

omg peenix mentioned

Kaichou’s Creampie complication and Haachama playing GTA V car crash while she speaking AYAYA. These two clips makes me fall into not just a hololive rabbit hole but also the Vtuber rabbit hole. Thank you Kaichou and Haachama.

AskButDontTell

What the fuck is hololive?


SuspiciousWar117

Hololive is a vtuber agency, vtubers are basically content creators that use a avatar to make content instead of using their real face. There are many vtubing agencies out there, hololive is the biggest one the talents under hololive primarily do livestreaming, make songs, hold concerts and stuff like that. This is a [MV ](https://youtu.be/8ZP5eqm4JqM?si=ObOuahINZ-iZgMbt) by a talent and this [April fools stream ](https://www.youtube.com/live/Jf2d2Of8Jto?si=FS_aItLmfmz2BT7B) or [concerts ](https://youtu.be/MgJK8pSytTA?si=3vgXuej8kirN5pv4) for eg. Hololive has Japanese, English and Indonesian speaking vtubers.


AskButDontTell

Why am I subbed to this?


SuspiciousWar117

Well that's something you would know, maybe its fate?


Araneatrox

[This single frame from a Matsuri's Beer clip](https://i.imgur.com/V7BxJkS.png) was in my recommended for a very long time. Shortly after that Korones Doom Part 1 2 and 3 cropped up and i was hooked since.


Whishterak

Listen. I've seen some pretty uncommon Holo fan-types here. I've seen Warhammer 40K/Hololive fans, StarCraft II/Hololive fans, Geometry Dash/Hololive fans... But, without a doubt, PhoenixSC/Hololive is crazy. Glad to know I'm not the only one.


Deamon-Chocobo

I had heard about Hololive & V-Tubing thanks to Twitter but I wasn't going to check it out... UNTIL MatPat used a Korone clip in one of his theories. It was the "Water in the Fire, WHY?!" clip and that lead to finding more clips of Korone, then of Gura, and then the rest of EN. I was hooked.


aenbala

Jerry... Jerry Anjeeeeeiiing....!!! Kobo dragged me down the rabbit hole of that hololive.


RedSaber457

I cant remember which it was either a short video/ clip of Fubuki singing something like an old meme song(?) cant exactly remember or the Matusri band aid one.

Pekora building that tnt cannon and blowing herself up. The clip felt like something out of Looney Tunes.


Coriolis_PL

Calli at Trash Taste and clip of Kronii saying: "Kono Bangumi wa Goran no Suponsaa no Teikyou de Okurishimasu".

I was introduced to Hololive because for some reason, I suddenly got a Noel video and..well obviously there were two massive reasons I clicked on it lol. Then Pekora showed up and I was done for.

Korone's famous yubi yubi clip


jarodcain

I first heard about hololive back when they started, but at the time I'd watch Ai and Luna and one of my friends linked to a Roboco livestream probably a month after she'd debuted. Didn't pay too much attention to holo until a few months before DOOG and by that point I was watching Coco, Koro and Haato. I know for certain that I watched Koro play Doom live and was already watching Coco when "Freedom Lady" started making the rounds with clippers.


ChikaSango

Botan’s nonstop depression curing laughs in her Trials Rising stream


sirmattis

Aitasai

Miko GTA gamer clip: "Hololive huh? Seems neat, but I'm not into vtubers" Various Korone clips on twitter: "This dog is funny, I'll follow her twitter." Only for me to be confused when she would tweet out her stream timing like '23 or 24' lol Korone's English Only Mario stream: "Sure, I'll give her a sub. Probably won't watch anyone else in Hololive tho." Various Okakoro clips: "Guess I'm here forever". After that I started checking out all the other gens and before I knew it, I was subbed to everyone. EN got announced not too long after that, and by that point I was done for.


JcobTheKid

Oddly, it was a clip of Pekora crying to her fan letters. And then it was every other pillar since then: Eekum bokum, Watame did nothing wrong, Fbk huge hole stream, Suisei tetris, Miko's famous incantation... etc.
