With Ann it wasn't the quality the boxart impacted, it was the contrast between hers and the Japan Vocaloids. they became famous first, so when others looked at the other existing Vocaloids they compared it to those vocaloids they knew. The crowd were anime/weaboo fans, who didn't go for europeon style artwork.

So in contrast, the reaction was quite different.

Before miku and co come along, boxarts are not criticized.... This was a professional software and professionals don't have the same approaches to things like boxart and the anime fans do.

Basically, it came down to expectations. :-/
