Even when I first joined a few months afterwards I saw a topic mocking the "generic" Vocaloid design.

As I said before, it seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to the fact we tried to report on this sort of thing. Even after they ranted and raved at us, tho and beyond a few weeks later Miki was confirmed to have borrowed something from Miku, be it something so small no one would ever have thought of that. :-/

Amaingly though, both One Piece and Fairy Tale are series that borrow elements from Dragonball. Yet, you here nothing to accuse one series of stealing ideas from another. Not only that but I know the One Piece fandom goes nuts in an attempt to trace every cultural reference Oda makes. In fact, everyone fandom I've been in does this. Every one, except this one.

Heck, I've seen PowerFX criticised for using monsters... When right now this genre is still quite popualr. Wasn't at the time of Sweet Ann's release. However, its another link back to a cultural reference regardless.
