From the article:

The popular Spice and Wolf anime character Holo will make her VTuber debut on April 3, 2024, on the TOHO Animation Channel (YouTube) and the Spice and Wolf anime official TikTok.

new videos released every Wednesday

I couldn't figure out whether the anime VA will also be doing the VTuber duties, or if they have somebody else performing as VTuber Holo. Finally, here is the preview image for her avatar:

This is probably not a great idea. I mean, I do like the idea of it, but I think its only good as an idea. Any kind if execution on this will not really feel proper for this kind of an IP, IMO.

That entirely depends on the seiyuu. I would, for example, trust someone like Takahashi Rie to properly represent their character (or at least decline to do it if she didn't think she could).

Honestly if the actor/actress has good improv skills, I say go for it

Regardless of the actor, the Spice & Wolf IP doesn't naturally lend itself to having a crossover marketing event as a VTuber, as compared to something like Serial Experiments Lain.

It would be like having a Twitch account for Aragorn as a marketing stunt for The Lord of the Rings. It would be funny or whatever, but it would not feel appropriate to the property like a Twitch avcount for Neo from the Matrix would feel appropriate to that property.

Bro Lain as a vtuber would be based

Wasn't there recently that interactive event for the anniversary of Lain?
