Bruno and Clara were finally released on 23th December 2011. However, they were only able to be bought via download and buyers had to use a non-free e-mail account to purchase them.

Marketing
Bruno and Clara are aimed at Spanish music professionals and the first Vocaloids aimed at the Spanish culture. They do not incorporate the moe-esque style of the Japanese Vocaloids and their designs are aimed more towards a retrospective European art style.

Competition
Bruno and Clara had a fanart competition right now. The contest is being done as a response to the disappointment in the artwork from anime fans. The winners were announced on the 19th of December.

Strengths
Bruno is a mature male vocal type and the male counterpart to Clara. As the first Vocaloids capable of Spanish, they have been reported to be overall quite understandable by Spanish fans. On his Lower ranges he sounds better than on his higher due to the strength of his vocals.

Weaknesses
Details to follow.

Popularity
Bruno has had a backlash based on his illustration, mainly for lacking an anime-like design or referred to as not having the appearance of a Vocaloid, with some going so far as to label him and Clara as "ugly"; however, within the Spanish fandom there have been reports of strong defense from fans of the pair and Vocaloid. The voice type itself; however, has been noted to be appealing in general despite the issues some fans have had for the boxart.

Trivia

 * When the first demos of Bruno were shown, an interesting reaction from English Vocaloid fans was noted that they often did not think Bruno had much clarity. A few Spanish speakers confirm that he had relatively good clarity.
