WHY Is Your Favorite Character?

#hatsunemiku #AkiraAkao #otome   / itsfayko   Y'know when I started this project, I didn't think it was going to take me a total of nine months of production, through multiple studies and essays about psychology, neurology and society and I also think it made me into a Hatsune Miku fan? Whatever. The point is the exploration of the different reasons people can have a favorite character is so cool and I am so glad that I was able to explore that. If you liked it? Idk maybe give it a lil like a subscribe? I meant to fit that into the video but I,,,, did not. Anyway. Um Credit time For the incredible thumbnails and every variation you see: ‪@YourPugKing‬ For the artwork during the Edward Elric segment: ‪@ViddysVids‬ For the original intro song: ‪@jiffycaliber‬ Shoutout to my friend Rae who helped edit the script, helped me work out different concepts and just generally listened to me ramble for the past nine months about this video. They asked me instead of a link to credit, I plug Cure from Alien Stage. So,,,, here you go.    • R O U N D 6 ｜ Alien Stage   If you want to see what I am up to when not taking an ungodly amount of time to make a video? Check me out on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/itsfayko.bsk... If you want to see more of me: ‪@ItsAlsoFayko‬ Normally I try to do a lil ending card with all this information and announcements but I really liked how it ended so I wanted to keep it like that! Anyway, I know I said it last time but I learned so much from this production and feel confident when I say this. You will see me again so much sooner! Edit: Oh no I forgot to link the literal papers that made this possible.
