Hey Dong Fang Zhi Zi (wow I remember this name without looking it up!) got accused of looking too close to Miku. Basically its going to happen regardless.

I made a case of how this was true for Ring also back in her day, however, I always made a case for it not really being much of a big deal. Also yeah... I'm looking at Stardust for the first time today, and before I saw she was a new vocaloid, I thought I was looking at Miku. Which is worst then with Ring because I sort of guessed it wasn't Miku at first glance, this one totally made me think it was her. :-/

I don't know why people always want to hold voice/design closeness against a vocaloid. Just as the human voice has only X amount of possibilities you can raw from it before you get a lot of similarities, ditto the same goes for design. You just have to learn not to care about the voice or design being too close. There is always at least some distinction in both areas anyway. Focus on learning the distinctions and not the similarities I say.
