I think poor Uni has too much weight on her shoulders right now. I think the biggest issue with SBS is just how SeeU focused they became. We should have had at least 1 more korean Vocaloid that generation and Japanese/English should have been temporary off the table while they established a user base and fandom. One of the things that Vocaloids benefit most from is being ble to promote each other. A classic example is the Zero-G duos like Leon/Lola, Tonio/Prima and Dex/Daina. They can lean on each other to sell each other, which even the Chinese vocaloids Luo and Lin do. Consumer confidence also builds the more you invest into something, so they'd have more interest by the 5th product then the 1st.

It seems to be a simple case of they tried to force everyone to like SeeU, but as a consequences they ended up leaving some like myself forcing skeptical and critical. Not everyone will like this tactic because they feel a form of threat ad rebel, we see this already with anti-Miku fans. I'm not saying they did this tactic intentionally, but they really wanted SeeU to be the Korean Miku and they ended up having it thrown back at them. Some saw her as a knock-off Korean Miku because people were noticing too many similarities between both voice and design of both mascots, right down to the "u" part of both names and the "SV01/CV01" thing. There was a lot of nit-picking, which the same also happened for Ring and Lui.

In reality, a lot of the nit-picks were "made-up" to make SeeU look bad, but somehow everything worked because she lost a lot of popularity and interest within a few years. :-/

Is difficult to really hate Meiko and I can't find many with strong justification against her. This puts her in a better position for her of negativity then the Kagamines for theirs.
