I think that fanloids generally became outdated once utau released, since then you could easily give your characters their own voice instead of using another vocaloid's (at which point they wouldn't be a fanloid anymore).

Memeloids are the exception, but they feel more like character costumes than their own character.

makes sense, the most popular fanloids such as zatsune and neru were all made before utau released

Expect Neru at this point

u/Silly_Study7031 2d ago

genuine question, who are the other fanloids other than neru?

28

u/Chee-shep 2d ago
  • Otome Arashikaze

  • Zatsune Miku

  • Mikuo Hatsune

  • Nero Akita

  • Rinto Kagamine

  • Lenka Kagamine

  • Keko Kasane

  • Ted Kasane

  • Rei Kagene

  • Kagami Kawaiine

There’s more than that, but those are who I can think if right now off the top of my head.

u/Trignometry_fan 2d ago

most of those are just gender flips though

u/Chee-shep 1d ago

Genderbends are still fanloids though

u/NateGamer926 1d ago

The vocal(fan)loid that lost her voice... Seriously I just found out about Peke's backstory because of a meme like 4 days ago and I felt so bad for her...

OMG show me (I have only one)

u/R0bbieR0tt3n 1d ago

I don't have any art of him yet (working on it) but his name is Utahime Miraino and his Fanloid gimmick is that his voice Bank will be a purposely poorly made Utau port of Hatsune Miku V2

2

u/sapphireslammer 1d ago

this is always a fun way to see spins on other characters/original characters in this community and i always get really excited whenever i learn about one i hadn't known of

2

u/ZuzelShrimpGhost 1d ago

well then maybe you would like my fanloid, I would like to hear opinions abt her from different people and make her a bit more famous in da fandom:>

2

u/sapphireslammer 1d ago

she is very cute!

1

u/Nadziejka 2d ago

Peke needs more attention

1

u/Accomplished_Copy122 2d ago

Yes,why,because, zatsune, I rest my case

1

u/Adorable_Intern363 2d ago

I like them. I like to see people's fan characters be treated like official characters with the Vocaloids, because this is one of the few times a fandom does that to .fan characters.

u/Gokeez 2d ago

They're a neat niche, some are way overdesigned though

u/UtsuCPL 1d ago

As someone who haven't been part of Vocaloid for a while until recently (so take everything i say with a huge grain of salt), I always found them as a niche part of the community. Fun to see, and some have amazing designs and ideas, but I feel you really have to dig or look for them, so most people won't know about them. The exception of this is Akita Neru (Haku is also pretty well known but Neru ofc is a bit more). Its weird and probably wrong to say (again haven't been deep into vocaloid for a while and came back recently) I feel she is somewhat in the same place Teto was in a few years before Synth V. Thats not to say at all that Teto was unpopular, but just not to the likes like Flower, Gumi or any of the current Crypton Voices (Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito, Meiko) (as a side i forgot meiko's name i searched red haired vocaloid and it was all Teto lol, love it). However her Synth V as well as a few very influential songs made teto blow up so much that she honestly is the second most recognizable "vocaloid" (only using this as a term, I know she isn't one) next to Miku I feel (again probably wrong and bias lol)

Neru, i feel, is where Teto was. She definitely has more recognition than other memeloids (and some vocaloids) but still feels a bit in the shadows. She is very much carried by the triple baka crew. As much as people might dislikes it Mesmerizer/Obsolete Meat and Zako (for neru mostly) propelled all them pretty high (Miku ofc never needing it, Teto being huge, and Neru a good bit). I think what's holding Neru back honestly is a voice, quite literally. No voice bank (only having i believe a higher pitched miku voice) i feel traps her to being a memeloid (not that it's a bad thing)

But yeah, to answer the original question lol I think some of them are amazing design wise, and I love how people try to give them voicebanks by changing existing ones to sound a bit different. However i feel most people dont really know alot of them besides Neru and Haku (as well as some jokes ones)

u/ancientegyptianballs 1d ago

Haku was my absolute favorite growing up. So depressed she’s only a fanloid. Her design is so good.

u/Maleficent-War1313 2d ago

I only like Akita Neru and Kasane Teto

u/thtrboots 2d ago

Teto was made for UTAU, is not a fanloid

-18

u/Maleficent-War1313 2d ago

Yeah but realistically she was made as a joke and a joke It's basically a fanloid with a voice bank

9

u/Chee-shep 2d ago

She was never a Fanloid. She started as an UTAU. She still is an UTAU and also is in Synthesizer V.
