Ok so, I can't say a lot because I don't want to lose my job, but I'm involved in a tech field that is currently working on improved motion tracking software for virtual avatars (basically vTubers). Our sister company in Japan just landed a big job and they've brought some of us from the western side to help with workload. We're basically developing a way for vtubers to create content that has the capability of looking like a good quality anime.
When discussing the project we were told that the company who hired us already has "real life talent with experience" and "the most subscribed to vTubers online". The plot is basically the girls are literally the avatars they currently appear online as who stream to people worldwide (this may just be workplace rumor though). But my boss did specifically say, "It's like what if there were these cute girls who hide the fact that they are from a virtual world by pretending to be vTubers. And there are all kinds of them, like a dragon girl, a shark girl, or a cat or dog girl."
Anyway, that's all I know about it so far. It'll be another niche anime that I expect you'll hear something about it pretty soon.
