Avanna, the Celtic Horse Girl

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 04:16:47 GMT

Hello, please come into my Vocaloid dungeon and enter the Miku-place of ideas as we discuss some challenging ideas. From accordions with voices, to full body weak-spots, acapella bloodsport! This week we are covering the Vocaloid Avanna, a Celtic themed Vocaloid with both art and voice from Irish creators and with historic references laser-targeted to hit our host JT. Avanna is possibly one of the more mainstream use, with producers such as Porter Robinson and Griffin McElroy of The Adventure Zone using her in really notable cases. We found ourselves really liking Avanna so I hope you enjoy this episode!

IA, the Mysterious Aria

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 12:26:33 GMT

We are very sorry for the delay in this week’s Rate-a-Loid episode! This is our first time recording from home and I (Jonathan) unfortunately had some mic issues causing a popping noise throughout, and also exported the file incorrectly at first. I’m gonna be real, it’s not the best to hear but it only happens a few times. Very sorry about that!

That being said. welcome to the first long distance Rate-a-loid! Due to social distancing measures we have elected to record from our own homes, meaning audio quality is a little less than usual and we spend a little time finding our feet. Still, I hope you all enjoy the podcast as we talk about Beastars, G Gundam, and of course, the mysterious diva, IA who we really enjoyed having on the show! Hope you’re all taking care out there.

Tone Rion, the Sleeping Bunny

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 19:50:00 GMT

This week begins with a call for aid from our Rate-a-loid community before we get into our good vocal synth, Tone Rion. Tone is a Moe-specific Vocaloid idol, aka a Vocaloidol. The idol focus is real in this Vocaloid, made to promote an idol company and the first in a whole set of them. Throughout we reference dead memes, Jonathan references obscure wrestling interviews, and we expand on our Rate-a-verse lore setting. Enjoy!

Nekomura Iroha the Walking Billboard

Thu, 30 Jan 2020 09:41:08 GMT

So we start off with a doozie, Harper analysing the Nyan Neko Sugar Girls, before we get into our Vocaloid for the day, Nekomura Iroha. Nekomura is a walking Hello Kitty advertisement and also our first Vocaloid with a full backstory!! Mixed feeling on every front as we deal with capitalism and themes about generational brand faith.

Tonio the Operatic Oni

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 23:19:20 GMT

In today’s episode of Rate-a-loid, we discuss the failings of the Vocaloid gaming brand and how they’re clearly overlooking our industry expertise on which Vocaloid are best. We also review Tonio, a classical opera singer who is simultaneously a lot while also lacking substance. Tonio was made to target professional music producers which means there’s very little for us in the fandom to work with. Take a listen and hear us pad by talking about Mass Effect, Gachas and all sorts of topics.

The episode Jonathan starts up with stories of Christmas retail in Australia before a descent into Lord of the Rings games and modding.

Kaai Yuki the Little Apple

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:03:45 GMT

Trigger warning up front for creepiness around children/child aged characters and discussions about those topics

Jonathan gets passionate in this one! Today we talk a lot about Pokemon before getting to vocaloid's little apple Kaai Yuki. Kaai Yuki is the first vocaloid to have a voice provided by an actual literal child, and has some really neat aspects to her whole design, but because of creeps we cannot have nice things. Get ready for rants and anger over the bad things people do.

Hello and welcome back to Rate-a-loid. This week we talk about Sonika, the world’s first twitter Vocaloid! Jonathan also does a Gundam summary as usual, this time featuring Gundam F91 and a character’s cuck mask, how war is hell, and the where to actually start. We also plug various games, Skatune Network, and do an extended sidebar about Sonic the Hedgehog cause we’re awful. Sonika holds a lot of firsts in the Vocaloid world in regards to fan interaction and the idea of fan interactions but ultimately might be a little uninteresting?

Gackt Fackts

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 01:25:10 GMT

This week on Rate-a-loid we discuss anime (as usual), Jonathan gets passionate about music, (as usual), and Harper says cursed things (as usual). Today’s Vocaloid is Camui Gackpo, a celebrity Vocaloid that uses the voice of J-rock star and known handsome man Gackt! Throughout the episode, Jonathan gives us the run down on a number of fackts about Gackt himself, and Harper tries to comprehend this wild man and his Samurai robot-sona. Sit down, get ready for possibly our most over the top Vocaloid yet, and enjoy the content.

Prima and the Diamonds

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 20:37:00 GMT

Hello and welcome back to Rate-a-loid! Y’all keep listening so we’ll keep releasing. This week we get to talk about our current game interests before moving onto our review and ranking of Prima! Neither of us our familiar with Prima so you get to hear us trying to understand this character, her various art works, and just how little content there is to find about her. There is so little info, folks. Throughout we get strong opinions on looks, the blandness of designs, and a surprise aspect of her voice. Take a listen and enjoy.

Rin and Len not Lin and Ren

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 23:22:03 GMT

We get it wrong so many times friends. Todays episode we review the iconic twins (?) Kagamine Rin and Len! That’s right folks we got a two-fer. We start off with good anime discussions about Hunter x Hunter and Gundam, before diving into our Vocaloid exploration of this week. We discuss the future of Vocaloid, the parallels between Rin and DIO, and for the most part are incredibly happy about these loids. Take a listen and enjoy our very serious review show.

KAITO the JRPG Protagonist

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 03:01:04 GMT

Hello anime fans and Vocaloid fools and welcome back to our intrepid podcast where we do what no one else will. In our second episode of Rate-a-loid we discuss Kaito, a Vocaloid created to be Meiko’s counterpart. Tune in for discussions on Kermit the Frog, obscure JRPG protagonist aesthetics, and only the hottest of takes. FYI towards the end of this episode, I (Jonathan), definitely make a mistake while talking about next weeks episode, so look forward to next week’s discussion of Sweet Ann, who we definitely do review.
