The franchise started with the mobile app and the web where you can browse the news related to whatever contents based on your interests with the characters interacting with you to see how they can help you advance on. It's a news app that contains different types of contents. Whether it's about cartoon shows, games, dramas, movies, comic books, etc. Unfortunately, the animated adaptation is a total mess like it's a polar opposite. The same characters pissed off the client from Episode 1 and stuff, not to mention, made a public mess in various places such as the idol performance being poorly executed, messing up the animation, doing some s***al shit in the vein of a visual novel game or some sort and other chaotic shit. The third episode is unspeakably controversial to me when it comes to a nerd working at the server room who happens to be a J-cartoon nerd or some sense in which he becomes so radicalized enough into making something that causes things to overload and the company building to explode. Another episode is regarding some other cartoon nerd who tries to deliver the present to the voice actress with the Hackadoll characters handling the security guards probably due to the fact that this may be the last live performance the voice actress is going to have which causes many nerds including him to be sad. Even some other episodes are messed up as well.
If you haven't watched the animation adaptation of Hackadoll, don't bother. I find it a complete disaster and this is not how you get helped out as a client. However, there's even a Virtual YouTuber channel of Hackadoll which is even better to watch although it's still missing out the proper background Hackadoll the Animation and other Virtual YouTubers have. Their channel may be average or something but that's a better content to watch instead. It's too bad the app is in Japanese and I don't know if there's a Western equivalent of this app.
