WELCOME TO THE LIGHTNING ROUND. This week we discuss the ZOLA Project, which, because it contains three Vocaloids, we are timing ourselves to make our discussions maximise productivity and chaos. This takes us to discussions of zodiacs, the logistics of widow’s peaks, and how much dating a mummy would suck. Our hosts are under pressure never before seen and are clearly panicking so we hope you love the sacrifice we made for you.     Crazy Desires by Hidarigawa Slash -...

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...

This week we stick to agenda and review Mayu, what kind of surprises does she have in store for us?

The internet’s greatest heroes make a triumphant return! That’s right your favourite nerds are back to talk shit about anime, vocaloid and video games, bringing our infamous chaotic energies as we discuss Galaco.

On the topic of Galaco we...

We return! After a couple weeks off due to technical difficulties we’re here to talk about Luo Tianyi, the first Chinese capable Vocaloid. We discuss Romance of the Three Kingdoms, JT plugs their twitter, and we spend a lot of time talking about another well fleshed out Vocaloid. You really love to see it folks.

Welcome to yet another long-distance Rate-a-loid ep! This week we discuss John Cena’s existential crisis, the sexiness levels of various weapons and our inevitable assassination at the hands of the Yamaha corporation, before getting onto our Vocaloid for the week. Aoki Lapis, one of the most fleshed out Vocaloids we’ve seen so far is here to shock us with having a backstory, a character and a rival sister. Truly a gift has been given to us this week. Take a listen and enjoy.

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,...

Alright folks strap in for some truly feral recording energy. This episode we talk about Bruno and Clara, the two first Spanish Vocaloids. We have a good time powering through two vocaloids in one episode and somehow still finding time to talk about Mukbangs, the intricacies of horse divorce and bring you the internet on tap. Enjoy?

Animal based bands, parrot tomfoolery and horror episode in this episode of Rate-a-loid! Today we discuss Yuzuki Yukari which towns us down some old folklore and the intricacies of yandere and tsundere terminology. Take a listen and enjoy!

Hatsune Miku suplex action, reverse gijinkas, and repression of fetishes this episode of Rate-a-loid.

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!

Today in our self-described funny podcast we discuss the intricacies of a potential Metal Gear cooking game, the greatest threat Guy Fieri poses to us all before and an astounding Gacha-watch before getting into our Vocaloid for the day!

Welcome to Rate-a-loid, we’re never getting jobs! This week, we test out a new segment called Gut-nut and try and get as much content as we can from Mew, the good good cat friend. We vow to never make sense again and investigate a Vocaloid with a very unique visual style. Take a listen and enjoy.

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.

It’s a week of high feelings and strong opinions so take a listen and enjoy folks!

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.

Hello Comrades and Compatriots and welcome back to Rate-a-loid. This week we discuss our worst Vocaloid of all time’s best friend, Big Al.

Take a...

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.

Welcome back comrades and countrymen to your favourite Vocaloid content ever created. This week, after a discussion on the beauty of malaphors and delightfully silly expressions, we discuss Miki, everyone’s favourite Android J-Pop Star.
