I'd love a Maika English vocal... To show uop the fact Maika isn't as good for English as some of the bias fans in this fandom are currently making her out to be...

SeeU English was announced because SBS's original "She can do english" claim was as much BS as it was any real claim, so I'm getting tired of phonetic extras to imitate languages instead of proper voicebanks. I'd be the same for any language, but so far English is the only one vocaloids are trying to throw off as "they can do it!" when they can only barely sound good enough to be understood in some cases. It would be nice to see "they can do Chinese!" for a change or "they can do spanish..." English is a hard language and Its painful to see this... And boring to hear people thinking just how great something sounds when its not as good as a dedicated vocal would do the same.

I'm all for phonetic manipultion to imitate other languages, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of a few Extra phonetics instead of the full banks.
