I like this design MUCH better than the fake design, my favourite being dem coat-tails. But like some other people have said, I do have to agree that by Vocaloid standards it's a rather typical cyber-girl design, which brings it down A LOT especially when looking at it aside the runner-ups and other contest entries on the net which were more individual from previous Vocaloid designs.

Not that a cyber-esque Vocaloid design is bad, but you've got to try and make it REALLY stand-out from the others, but with so many Vocaloid designs that are cyber-like means that it's pretty hard to do that. And this design doesn't stand out that much to me except from the coat-tails, because again it uses a typical cyber-girl design that doesn't seem to try and do much to stand out.

Now I can see why they chose this one (because it's their first Vocaloid, who is the first to sing in a language not covered before as part of their bi-lingual voicebank So by using a cyber design which is the uber popular thing amongst Vocaloid designs in general it'll presumably be more marketable).

But the guys in Spain tried something different with their first Vocaloids' designs. So why couldn't VoxWave? Okay sure, Bruno and Clara weren't well received design-wise and aren't anywhere as popular as Maika who has a cyber-design, as well as the above reason. At least they tried, even once.

But overall, it's not a completely god-awful design, I actually quite like it especially over that overly stereotypical fake design (as nice as was it some ways). It's just a bit of a let down that they gave ALYS such an almost run-of-the-mill cyber design when there were so many other designs available.
