^^^^^

If you're just starting out, definetely get IA to help you figure how everything works. Flower and CUL aren't as hard to use as people say from personal experience, but IA is actually pretty great for a beginner. Her pronounciation and range are good and she can handle lots of GEN manipulations without sounding like a dude or a chipmunk. She also generally sounds really realistic if you tune her a bit. Plus, if you're looking for a more dynamic voice type, there's always the IA and IA ROCKS bundle which will help you figuring out XSY too. In general, I don't think any of them (idk about SeeU, but you may wanna try getting her later from what I've heard) are that hard to use, there are just a few tricks for working with them that might help but other than that, it all depends on the VSQx tbh. Whether you find a Vocaloid easy to work with or not is very much personal preference though, it's just that CUL or Flower are more likely than IA to give you a headache while trying to figure them out lol. If you do get IA though you'll have to decide whether you'll wait for her V4 update so you can also get her english VB together with everything else or you'll get her now and work with her V3 banks. Rant over, hope I helped a bit.
