I can write why I don't like Miku:


 * Voice: I'm not of fan of the voice, it has nothing to do with pitch but rather certain elements that used to set off a ring in my ear. This is no fault of Miku alone as several Vocaloids do this.  And its not every high-pitched vocal, there has been one or two low vocals outside of Vocaloid to do this too, though its less often.  So for medical reasons, I don't get on with the Miku vocal.  Even without this in mind, I just don't find the voice overall appealing.

Again this has nothing to do with pitch because I've liked songs with higher pitched singers in them, their in my "I'm too embarrassed to admit I like these" collection of loved songs. Its a case of there is *something* about her voice I don't like, Rin also has the EXACT same issue with her voice and Luka and Len are almost there too. Kaito and Meiko have something that I think comes close to it... So I presume its something to do with the way the CFM vocaloids are manipulated, that something is lost in the process of them cleaning up and altering the vocal they remove a element.


 * Design wise: Blue is not on e of my favourite colours, I find "cute" designs sometimes are a miss for me. Example: I find Chopper's design in One Piece ugly as hell.  Basically, I find Miku not that attractive overall design wise and this is my personnel taste.  Bare in mind I find SeeU's "Cute" design and Galaco's NEO version more appealing, to me "Cute" is more about being "simple", with softer toned colours.  The over use of flat-colours (grey and black) just doesn't do it....

Even in the face, her expressions on all but the appends boxarts have her just smiling... After years of looking at smiling Disney characters and overall happy designed characters, this makes Miku boring and just another run-of-the-mill design. Luka is better but there are a TON of things wrong with her design that I find her design less appealing.
