i don't express it very often, but i really love the vipperloids, especially ruko, ritsu, and teto. their voices aren't super high-quality, but i care about them even beyond the quality of their voices. they were there when i first joined the fandom, and although they've kind of been forgotten by most people by now, they'll always have a special place in my heart.
Browsing through the Tumblr UTAU tag looks like this:
_Vipperloid cover/art/both (or praise about them)
_overseas utaus no one knows with shitty mics, mary-sue designs and AWFUL otos.
_more Vipperloids stuff.
_rants. because every mary-sue around has to claim its own existence.
_nfsw posts!? really!?
_not enough vipperloids here, have some more.
_Oh,look, an utau you actually know!
_.... poorly tuned on a horrible mix in an unsuitable song to their voice.
_random posts about utau in general like theories, fanfics and author logs.
_Hey, look, I drew Ritsu/Teto/Ruko/Yufu/that new or old vipper no one likes anyway. I'm such an UTAUser sdfhsklarf.
_oh sweet jesus!!! Good utaus that rarely spike out like Makimiya Fuki (JP) or Samura Tomi (cillia's) with decent covers and leasant artworks!!! OMG today is a great day after all!!
.... *closes tab and goes back to working on making decent banks, because it's totally not 4 am*
I might be the only 18 year old person around that is on the net and NOT BROWSING PR0N STUFF. No sir, instead I boooredly look at how even the utau fandom is! Okay okay I shut it now leave that firethrower alone kay.
Day 2 - What is your opinion about the Vipperloids?
Just a quick thing: I will tag this as 'UTAU 20 Day Challenge', feel free to Tumblr Saviour that tag if you don't want my clutter.
Overall, I quite like the Vippers. They're not my absolute favourites but I don't dislike any of them really. Individual opinions under the cut.
Ruko is probably my favourite, especially all the newer Ruko banks. Both male and female voice are wonderful for me, and I just love the way both of them sound. Plus there are regular updates and I like banks that update regularly. Plus I love how Ruko's CV has, like, 10 appends which use suffixes because I loved suffixed appends
I also like Ritsu, as he has some very high quality banks and not just the infamous Kire. I like his core bank especially, it's a beautiful softer voice. Again, Ritsu gets updated fairly regularly and all his banks are really nice.
Rook is also very good I like Rook but never really use him. Same goes with Miko, especially since she has, like, a billion appends to use which is really handy for making covers for me.
Oniko has a nice voice type, I only wish she got updated more often, and that I could figure out songs to use her for, because like I say, I really love her voice type.
Funnily enough, Teto is probably my least favourite out of the well-known Vippers. I prefer her voice when it's lower, because something about it kinda irks me when it's high. When she's tuned well, she can sound beautiful, but not many people seem to take the time to tune her well.
And then there are the newer voicebanks and I don't really know all of them. I know there's Scott and Go-On Nero and I think Aino Hate too? I quite like Go-on Nero's voice, but haven't heard much of the others.
