As the gorgeous, polite Awayuki Kokorone, she delivers only the most ladylike content. Unfortunately, her subscriber count and savings are at rock bottom.

One evening, after Yuki thinks she's ended her stream, she cracks a few cold ones—and more than a few crude jokes—while watching Live-On's video archives. But her viewers hear it all, and clips of her bawdy, drunken commentary go viral overnight.

Yuki thinks her career is over...until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On has been waiting for her to snap all along and gives her free rein to drink on-stream.

That was a really hilarious and true to life first episode. In regards to the latter: the interface, the jokes and many of the memes, they really nailed the subject matter. The thing that really sells it is the great VA that makes Kokorone such an amusing mess of a person to listen to. The at times rather creative animation tops it off such as with some rather hectic sausage fighting.

I will say this though: it seems like a really hit or miss show.
