You get to go on a date with ONE fictional character. Who's the lucky one, and what will you do together? <3
Only one? You're making me make choices? oh no.
Okay I can do this.
This took me like 30 mins of bisexual panic to decide lmao. Ily anon.
It's gotta be Torajirou (The Way of the Househusband)
He and I would go to a carnival/festival/fair of some kind. He could show off (and pretend to do it nonchalantly but he will absolutely be chalanting) and use his various skills to win a bunch of prizes. Plus if there were rides, I think he'd go on all of them with me. Then afterward he could make us some dessert. And then later I imagine he'd send me a homemade crepe as like a, "thanks for going out with me," gift plus an invitation to a second one.

Here’s something quick I’m writing as an explanation for a friend who was watching Appmon for the first time and commented on it, a series from 2016, treating YouTube as if it’s some kind of novelty when in actuality YouTuber personalities have been a thing since the late-2000′s. Isn’t it a bit too late to be acting like this is some new thing? Well, the thing is, in Japan it wasn’t -- Appmon was actually a bit ahead of its time!
YouTube had already been popular in other countries for a long time, but in Japan, it was only just starting to really catch on at the time Appmon aired. Before then, the dominant Japanese video site was a site called “Nico Nico Douga” (currently rebranded to “Niconico”, but still often known by its old name to most people). You might have seen Japanese media that references it; it’s famous for having anonymous comments scroll across the video as it plays. Digimon has its fair share of memes that came from it (any video related to Butter-Fly will often have a whole wave of comments going “MUGENDAAAAAAAAAAAI” when the relevant part comes up, or anything related to Jou will result in a flood of “JOOOOOOOOOOOO”...). It was also the primary platform for livestreams, and in fact official livestreams related to DigiFes, tri., and Cyber Sleuth/Hacker’s Memory were held there as late as 2014-2017.
However, unlike YouTube, Nico Nico Douga didn’t have a particularly robust creator monetization system, and people becoming talk show-like “personalities” and making a living off of it was unheard of. Most of the site’s content was related to creative culture and memes (example: Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga, the first in a series of videos that mashed together a medley of songs based on whatever anime and memes were popular at the moment). There were things like Let’s Plays that were similar to the content you’d find on YouTube, and there definitely were well-known names and creators, but they didn’t really have nearly the same degree of mainstream celebrity status.
Appmon came out at a time when things were just starting to move to YouTube. At the time, Nico Nico Douga was dealing with an increasingly outdated insfrastructure and a lot of poor management decisions (they were very slow to support 1080p, had a number of basic features heavily paywalled, and didn’t even allow watching videos without being logged in until very late), but at the same time, people were also unsure about YouTube’s heavy algorithmic issues that were very newcomer-unfriendly (an issue that still persists now for indie creators) in comparison to Nico Nico Douga’s management, which still at least actively encouraged indie creator culture. Perhaps embodying this, the promotional video for the Appmon character songs is uploaded by the official account on YouTube, but on Nico Nico Douga it’s uploaded to the composer (Nanahoshi Kangengakudan/Iwami Takashi)’s own personal indie musician channel. Nevertheless, “talk show personality hosts” and making money off YouTube started to catch on in Japan the way it had caught on elsewhere, and the decision to make Astra a YouTuber came from the staff learning to their surprise that kids were starting to put it as a career choice -- a decision they knew was going to be controversial, but wanted to go with because they wanted to be open-minded.
Of course, in late 2016, Kizuna Ai became a thing and the advent of virtual YouTubers made the phenomenon completely explode in Japan (Digimon official videos and livestreams are now on YouTube, and no longer have any real Nico Nico Douga presence). It’s possible the Appmon staff may not have predicted just how explosive of a phenomenon it’d quickly become, to the point the Appmon kids’ treatment of it in 2045 seems a tad bit too mild...
But then again, they thought kids would still be playing on 3DS units in 2045, so it’s not the only obvious “this anime was actually made in 2016″-ism going on here.
