So I disagree when the fandom makes an issue about Big Al's voicebank being the first American (North) bank. Even the voice provider states he can imitate an American accent. Accent makes the English vocaloids interesting because the theory is that two vocals that are identical but have different accents will end up sounding differently and all that...  But honestly some get so attached that 1 element. Big Al has an American accent, yeah imitation or not thats officially the accent. I saw some in the V2 era prior to this being told to us say they just wanted a American accented vocaloid. So they didn't want to buy existing vocaloids because of their accent...

I tend to think people just look for excuses to buy or not buy certain vocaloids. :-/
