What (in your opinion) Is The Best Vocaloid?

[Bookworm2]

I'm going to anger someone with this.

What Vocaloid voicebank do you consider the best? As in the best one to use, or just simply your personal favorite from listening? I want to know! Please, keep things appropriate and try not to purposefully insult anyone else. If you can, give a reason for why. If not, that's perfectly fine!

For me... It has to be Meiko . Don't get me wrong, I love (most) all of them, but as my first voicebank, she has a special place in my heart. I guess specifically I really like Power and English. I know English isn't the best in terms of quality, but if you can make it work, YOU CAN REALLY MAKE IT WORK.

If I'm being honest, I think for me it's a tie between Iroha and Yukari. Iroha just gets a bonus because Kyounosuke is one of my favorite singers (though I only heard of him because of Iroha as far as I remember, so... maybe a bit of circular logic there ). They both have a pretty good range imo, and they can really rock the deeper end of their ranges, which I always appreciate. I feel like they have some of the most realistic tones out of the concatenative banks. I was listening to a Chihiro Ishiguro song once, and I almost could have believed it was a well-tuned Yukari song, and the first time I heard this one cover of Iroha singing the traditional version of Bad Apple, I half-jumped out of my seat because I got jumpscared by how much it sounded like Kyounosuke singing. (Dunno why I was surprised when it was one of my favorite vsynth users tuning, but still)

Though of course I say all this and my brain goes, "But what about V2 Gumi, remember when she came out and she was sooo cool and it blew you away," "HOW COULD YOU FORGET MIRIAM?", etc etc. My favorites tree just gets more complicated the more I try to think about it

Galaco 1000% i know that she has numerous faults but her voice is legit my favorite voicetype ever and remains my favorite vsynth voicebank to this day because of this, The almost overwhelming huskyness of her is perfection to me and her lower range is the things of dreams I swear
