Despite what everyone on VO/Twitter is saying about Una, I'm really hyped for her release. I was worried that she was going to be in the same situation as AnoKano but to my relief she is not. Her voice type is nothing new, but her voicebanks sound distinct enough for me that I don't confuse her for another Vocaloid like I still do with Galaco/Merli/Chika. But Internet has way too much young female vocals now, so for a future release they better have a male vocal, mature female vocal, or non-Japanese vocal. Sachiko already fills the role for a mature female vocal but her versatility is limited as a result of being genre-specific. I think male vocals and non-Japanese vocals still have a lot of voice types to be explored, unlike female Japanese vocals which pretty much have covered every voice type. The only new female Japanese vocals I would be interested in now are if they were voiced by utaites. (Reol or Hanatan Vocaloid when?)

I'm also hyped about episode 12 of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, hopefully the ending won't be rushed like Angel Beats was. (Coincidentally the mc's dead younger sister is named Hatsune, just like in Angel Beats.) I find that Hatsune sounds weird as a first name though because it's Miku's last name.
