He's pretty much been around since it started and now people are having a go because one of his VOCALOIDs have an accent similar to another Company's VOCALOID - they're all going berserk, yet LUAN isn't even in their final stage and it's up to Giuseppe (I hope I spelt that right) whether or he wants his VOCALOID to be a certain way. It's also a pisstake for the fact that they're treating him as if he's part of VoctroLabs (ie calling out that LUAN and Clara's accents are similar), yet in a business practise - some things from different companys are similar and are really just there to see who comes out on top (for example Nestle and Cadbury).

Also I don't think the Spainish fandom realise how grateful they should be for having 2 very androgynous-sounding VOCALOIDs whereas no Engloid has that quirk or voicetype yet (also kinda hoping one day for an Engloid with falsetto).

One final note I'd like to add however is that Giuseppe should just ignore any fan's comments because in reality he's not going to progress anywhere if he keeps shutting down after 1 or 2 criticisms. Well, there's a lot more to that whole situation more that "Hurah! We don't like the voicebank! LUAN should burn in hell!", there are a lot more factors involved in the controversy. First being Giuseppe himself, having a very questionable repuatation on his own, that being he would often outwardly insult VOCALOID developlers and VOCALOID voicebanks themselves, which I didn't actually see this, but people told me that this was especially true for DEX and DAINA, that he said some rather nasty things in regards to the voicebank, that along with his association with other VOCALOID users that don't have exactly the best reputation, which I will expand upon later. Second being Lucia, LUAN's female counterpart, who already received a lot of criticism, mainly, people thought she sounded, generic, low-quality, too much like Clara, and my personal criticism, she sometimes sang slightly off-key, her design wasn't exactly well-received either. This made some people pretty irritable as it was, seeing as Giuseppe constantly trashes other VOCALOIDS apparently, and his didn't really sound that good to most users. Third, concerns LUAN's voice provider - Aku, a producer whom some people in the Spanish Vocaloid community have described to me before on more than one occassion as to being "The Planty of the Spanish Vocaloid Community" - I don't mean to slander him, as I'm just stating what I've been told, but I can see why his reputation isn't great, apparently he's rather vindictive to other users, and overall is seen as pretty immature to keep it short. Most Spanish Vocaloid fans seem to really not like him, which contributed to people really not liking LUAN at all. Now personally, I can't speak for the quality of the vocal, since the demo was taken down before I even became aware that LUAN existed ( Whom I was actually really interested in hearing, but sadly never got to ), but I'm assuming he must've sounded even worse than Lucia by the standards of most people, which probably expands on my second point. My point being, there are a lot more factors involved rather than people just not liking the voicebanks - on top of that, with Giuseppe trying to seem as professional as he does, as far as calling himself "VocaloidMaster" on a number of social media sites, he should have been the mature one in the situation, especially if you were going to release a VOCALOID, if you can't handle that sort of reception at least like an adult, you shouldn't be in any sort of business in regards to any product that is mass produced anyways. While I'm not justifying any slander that the VOCALOID community may have given toward LUAN ( Which I never actually saw this go down, so, I'm just assuming they did ), Giuseppe should have handled it better, you can't expect people to give you praise and shower you with rainbows and lollipops all the time, sometimes, people won't like what you put out, that's just how it works.
