When your a 13 year old weaboo listening to V2 Vocaloid in 2009, you'd hear a shota singing, you'd see the cute avatar and nothing else mattered, a crush was formed. It didn't matter other Vocaloids existed, or how bad the vocal was in reality. You didn't have access to information to tell you otherwise and logging onto wikipedia just listed Vocaloids from CFM, Internet and Ah Software (if its December-ish time). The English Vocaloids were mentioend, but your a weaboo and everything the west produces is inferior to what Japan produces.

I was a Anime fan too once... In the early 2000s when TV got flooded by it all. For a couple of years I believed everything Japan produced was better myself, until I started reading articles. The typical animation quality of a Disney cartoon was much better and a lot more effort was put into even some of the worst cartoons. But it was the beginning of the age of flash and the digital era of animation and animators were having trouble learning the new tech and what it yet could do. Justice League started out hand drawn and moved over to digital, allowing for bigger projects and cleaner animation, but it was struggling to match colours. Meanwhile Teen Titans came out and it was a big deal. I watched TT because of the anime-like style and it... started... to notice...Well, how bad Japanese animation actually was in terms of quality. I had been watching shows when the animation was a bit jumpy and not noticed, but the smoothness of the TT animation and how most of the time it was so fluqid in action scenes made me start to notice how JApanese animation was not.

So I know how easy it is to get on board with thinking something is better then its not. Without comparisons you just don't know how bad something is. In fact it wasn't until western animation lept forward and produced good results that it noticed how bad it was. I liked devilman but watching the Devilman Crybaby series was PAINFUL because of how noodle-arms and jumpy the animation was, as I'd seen the OVAs shown on the sci-fi channel Devil Man and Devil man Demon Bird. You cannot watch the Demonbird movie and then watch that same fight in Crybaby as it is PAINFUL to see how obviously poorly animated that same fight is when its the newer version. Once you have a comparison, this is always going to be a problem.

So to put it simply, the Kagamines was a combination of a bit of weaboo and a bit of ignorance.
