    Poorly-Received Vocaloid Designs?

    I've already been beaten to the punch with some examples, but I'll still paraphrase which boxart dramas I can remember here: I agree that Sweet Ann's and Big Al's original boxarts are probably the closest thing the fandom has to a widely reviled, "So Bad, It's Horrible" boxart! The Gemvox VBs...

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku 20th Anniversary Project

    It's Miku's 20th anniversary next year? OH JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST, MY BACK JUST WENT. I AIN'T OLD! I AIN'T OOOOOOLLLLLLD!!

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    Fans on Instagram are asking if the design was AI generated, which is so insulting to LAM (speaking as someone who's not a fan of the V6 design. It looks more like a design for Project Diva or one of the concerts rather than a voicebank design. I do appreciate the return of Miku's volume on her...

    SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

    As it stands, Crypton are more interested in trying to preserve the unique tones of their voicebanks, rather than making them sound more realistic, so SynthV probably isn't on their radar right now. (It doesn't help they're more interested in trying to make Piapro NT succeed, even though people...

    The Flavor Foley Thread

    Can I just comment that when I first listened to Ego Renegade Boy, I didn't even realise they were using Rin V2 Act 1 and not Rin V4 English? Like HOLY CRAP, the English tuning was brilliant for an old Japanese bank! You can easily go into a thematic discussion about how using Rin Act 1 (a...

    Video Games Does anyone have any actually good Anti-Piracy Screen videos

    The fanmade anti-piracy errors completely overtook legit videos of the same thing at one point, so now I hate them for clogging up YouTube's search results for when I want to find actual examples of anti-piracy. 😅 Anyway, my personal favourite example is Earthbound/MOTHER 2's anti-piracy...

    Gonna throw this complaint out, because some people's behaviour in the fandom recently has been bothering me a lot - why do some people think it's okay to go on a producer's song and openly comment that it's shitty? I don't mean proper constructive criticism, I mean comments like, "I hate your...

    VOCALOID Adachi Rei Campfire Campaign for Vocaloid6

    The first AI demo! So far, she sounds like how I expected a Rei AI bank to sound - robotic and clearly artificial in tone, but much smoother than her previous banks. It'll be interesting to hear her crosslang in the future.

    VOCALOID IA :[R] ARIA ON THE PLANETES (VOCALOID6)

    On further thought, I do think the V6 design is very much a 'Marmite' one - you'll either vibe with it or despise it. I agree that the top half of IA is fine (and is basically a remix of her previous designs), but the bottom is very much "WHAT ARE THOSE?". 😅 The short hair doesn't help either -...

    VOCALOID IA :[R] ARIA ON THE PLANETES (VOCALOID6)

    IA's design has finally been revealed! Looks like they switched her volume around from the top to the bottom lol. I'm not sure what to think of it just yet, but it's not a complete departure from her V3 and Rocks designs, at least.

    VoiSona ichica by VTuber Souya Ichika

    She looks and sounds great, but I do agree the poor girl will be ignored once she's released - her Cute VB in particular has long been oversaturated in vocal synths, and although I like her Cool bank, there are already a few established VBs that share that voice type.

    least cursed fandom you're in

    Crazy to hear this, considering that throughout the 2010s, the Azumanga fandom was fairly quiet because its initial cultural moment in the Western anime fandom in the 2000s had died down. I'm disappointed that the fascist side of Gen Z and Alpha are stinking the atmosphere of the fandom up, but...

    least cursed fandom you're in

    Funny how I see this post after watching Robots again for the first time in years a few days ago! The animation has aged really well for a 2005 CGI film. But I'm kinda sad Blue Sky never attempted to make a sequel - a Robots 2 would have been way more interesting than any of the Ice Age sequels...

    SynthV TONE CHROMA from Eclipsed Sounds

    The art in this video is a lot better than the first one - less Sportacus, more fancy blue Waluigi. (I know that doesn't sound like a compliment, buuut...)

    2026 Vocal Synth Predictions

    2026 predictions: The Kamitsubaki girls will remain in limbo this year with no significant news or updates, still reeling from Kafu SynthV's lack of release. At least one Vipperloid or other classic UTAU will be added to Yamaha's V6 crowdfunding service. The next ES Tone Chroma bank will be...

    I feel the era of true fanloids is long gone, now that there's so many official vocal synths to create fan content of. The closest character I can think of that fits that old school vibe is Adachi Rei, since her character design implies that she was originally conceptualised as a Crypton fan...

    General Discussion Thread

    Recent updates seem to suggest the character is now non-binary with a new design compared to the UTAU version.
