Times Square: *picture of an Octopus woman*

Every Spider-Man in the area: *visible confusion*

r/Hololive in 2021 : "WOAH! They rented a billboard for her!"

r/Hololive in 2028 : "Alright boys there's an uncolonized sector of stars 4 parsecs from the Tannhäuser gate, Chegi authorized use of his mining fleet to carve Anya's face into the largest planet we can find there for her birthday."

Would love to see some New Yorkers reaction to seeing a random anime woman they don't know in times square

HOW MUCH MONEY DID THIS COST

Ninjastahr · 2021-05-01T18:05:43+00:00

ANY FURTHER UPDATES WILL BE ON THIS COMMENT I'M SO EXCITED

IMPORTANT: WE DO HAVE A WEBSITE THAT WILL ARCHIVE ALL THE ART AND MESSAGES

It's not like we're just doing the billboard thing, the billboard will link to the project page on the website, so Ina can look at all of it later if she wants! Also, that's where the text posts will be.

My personal thoughts on the project - I think this is a great way to get some great artists' work shown, and also to appreciate our favorite artist tako. It is big, it's flashy, but at the core the purpose is to get more people to check out Ina's chill streams and join us in having our days made better by Ina. This isn't speaking for anyone else, but this is my own opinion on the project, and I hope Ina understands just how much she has helped people simply by being herself!

Further explanation for the billboard - We have it all day on the 20th, 7 minutes every hour, for max 60 seconds consecutive (so, if we have a 60 second .mov, it will play 7 times an hour all day) - AND NO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST THE MADLAD NEVER TOLD ME

PS: I REGRET KEEPING POST NOTIFICATIONS ON

ALSO A NOTE: WE ARE NOT OFFICAL IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM - we're just crazy fans - we DID however do this through the proper channels. This isn't a surprise for Cover, but this is a fan project and not affiliated with cover-corp

MAYBE FINAL EDIT: We just received the green light to continue our project by Ina herself on stream! She said she's looking forward to it!

AngryKV2 · 2021-05-01T18:06:54+00:00

I was expecting something cool from the tentacult discord so I kept this as surprise for myself but what the fuck this is amazing.

CirculaPhobia · 2021-05-01T18:07:04+00:00

*sniff"

I love this community

If only i wasnt in the state below new york (New jersey)

cnxcnxcnx · 2021-05-01T18:05:28+00:00

GET READY boys and girls.

Ina's coming to New York.

She's the new Sinatra.

Peo01 · 2021-05-01T18:32:22+00:00

"And it really started on that day in May.

A whole lot of people saw the images on the big screens at Times Square New York.

Afterwards there were reports of people acting strangely all over town... and soon the country.

By the time governments world wide realised what had happened it was almost too late to stop it.... perhaps... it was."

Wait what?

Ryu-u · 2021-05-01T18:11:17+00:00

Holy shit

Y'all Takodachis are insane. I'm proud of this community

Viniuau · 2021-05-01T18:10:29+00:00

Man, I hope someone will be able to livestream it or at least get a recording of it. The whole world and Ina herself needs to see this!

Hornet65 · 2021-05-01T20:20:39+00:00

Hopefully I don't see "What is this mysterious Tentacult" on the news that evening.

Graysteve · 2021-05-01T18:36:27+00:00

Holy shit, HoloLive fans are fucking nuts. I mean, I'm one of them, but holy shit lmao

Panzerscher · 2021-05-01T18:09:31+00:00

YO THIS IS BIG

Cerby3BR · 2021-05-01T20:20:14+00:00

Are we sure this is something Ina would actually like? Not too sure she'd want that amount of mainstream attention.

Niemandweiter · 2021-05-01T18:25:07+00:00

Wait, so fanart and fan messages will be displayed for 7 minutes each hour for the whole day...?

I mean , this is amazing, but isn't it... too big?

Isn't this on the leven that needs to be preapproved by cover themselves?

Valashv2 · 2021-05-01T21:23:58+00:00

ok, lemme just say it right from the beginning. This is pretty cool and an amazing gesture to Ina!

I gotta voice out some concerns though. This is definitely one way to introduce Hololive. Both positive attention and negative attention. We have to all admit, some people are just assholes who wants to shit on anything other people like. I hope that we as fans are prepared for any backlash we may possibly receive from this.

I know that sometimes it fits. Like if there’s an anime convention going on, you’ll see FGO advertisement on busses in LA and stuff like that. It attracted a lot of attention definitely but there’s an end goal to it: the anime convention. It fits the theme and it doesn’t look out of place.

What kind of attention will this bring? How will Ina react to it? Again, this is an amazing gesture and hot damn it’s exciting but what’s gonna be the effect of it? I really do hope it doesn’t become some kind of competition where us fans ends up trying one upping each other. And I haven’t even started with how Ina feels about this. Think of it this way, If you’re dating someone, what kind of gift would they like? Man I know my girlfriend would probably not like something like this.

Or maybe im just rambling and being overly safe about all of this. I don’t really know myself.

BeautifulWindow · 2021-05-01T18:09:41+00:00

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY BUT LIKE GOOD CRAZY

HUMONGOUS KUDOS TO WHOEVER PULLED THIS OFF WHAT A MADLAD

plsdontattackmeok · 2021-05-01T18:31:12+00:00

According to Google, Thomson Reuters billboard is 230$ per hour.

Here I calculate it:-

7 minutes x 24 times per hour: 168 minutes or 2.8 hours

230$ x 2.8 hours: 644$ for Ina birthday in Times Square for one day

Not bad actually. I'm looking forward Ina birthday in Time Square!

2021-05-01T21:16:53+00:00

This seems... Risky

Not sure she'd appreciate this but ok. Seems to me it might be a very unwelcome amount of attention especially from people who have no idea what the fuck this is

She has already said multiple times that doesn't like the crazy attention and huge donos and stuff and just wants to be seen as the person people watch to chill not worship, this feels a bit over the top but whatever

PumpJack_McGee · 2021-05-01T19:39:59+00:00

This is essentially going be like when our posts reach r/all, but in real life.

aelude · 2021-05-01T23:23:37+00:00

It's really funny to me how transparently disconnected from big city culture a lot of the posters here are, lol. There are great concerns to be raised over this, but none of them have anything to do with how the NYC public would react to this. The answer is that they wouldn't. There would be no backlash over her design, or sudden influx of negative attention within the community or whatever else because these signs show all kinds of constantly changing shit 24/7. The locals won't even notice it and the tourists will have other shit going on.

Now whether or not Ina would be comfortable with this idea is a totally different story.

Finally a screen big enough to fit her giant ass

baeruu · 2021-05-02T01:10:09+00:00

Have you guys never been to Times Square? All sorts of random stuff get put on the billboards/ads but nobody cares so chill with the “people will get weirded out/ confused/ insert negative reaction here. They’ve obtained the necessary permissions so let the Takodachis/ Tentacult celebrate their oshi’s birthday and let’s sit back and enjoy the show.

Kurimou · 2021-05-01T18:46:37+00:00

I'll probably get flak for this, but as nice as the thought is, this project seems like it's a pretty bad idea, and a potential legal nightmare. I'll be happy to be wrong, though.

Flex_Dynasty · 2021-05-01T19:12:25+00:00

I think this might be going too far

alcard987 · 2021-05-01T18:36:31+00:00

Nice!

MagicSwordKing · 2021-05-01T20:20:47+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but this feels gross. Ina, someone who's already noted how uncomfortable she can be with some of the amounts of money some of her fans spend on her, seems like the opposite of someone who would want this sort of stunt pulled on her behalf. It feels more like a fan trying to flex their bank account than any sort of honest gesture of affection.

If this fan wanted to take this same amount of money and commission a bunch of art to put together a website or something to send to Ina, I think that would be absolutely lovely, but to solicit free labor from fans to then put on a billboard in Times Square for no other reason than to, I don't know, confuse some tourists? This feels gross.

I really, really hope that people didn't just check with Cover to see if it's legally okay (which, honestly, I'm not too sure about, I'd like to see any sort of confirmation of that from Cover and not just someone on a fan discord) and actually made the effort to check with Ina to make sure she'd be okay with this. This just feels like way too much and oddly not enough at the same time, the priorities here are wack.

Vonarga · 2021-05-01T18:25:07+00:00

World Dom-Ina-tion progressing nicely for the tentacult :)

snipe4hire · 2021-05-01T21:00:29+00:00

This sounds pretty hype! But after reading some of these comments, I do I hope Ina is okay with it. Guess we'll see, hope all is fine.
