@ Anon : It's not so much appends as a concept it's how some companies execute append making. There's not only what ultimate said about some companies trying to push for appends more than original voicebanks that could do the job of an append better, but some appends seem out there for the sake of being out there. KAITO V3 is the best example I can give to the later because there's so many "soft" voices on top of his original one that was soft to begin with that there's simply no variety in KAITO's append, well maybe a little because the voices sound different but appends should really be there to do what the original voice can't on it's own.

Simply put, "append syndrome" is when appends are being made for the sake of making them as opposed to trying to bring variety into the original voice.
