Rate-a-loid

by That's Not Canon Productions

Rate-a-loid is a Vocaloid ranking and review podcast, wherein two fools have decided to review every Vocaloid in chronological order. By scientifically judging the appearance, fanon-personality and voice of the Vocaloid, our goal is to discover objectively the best Vocaloid ever (except for Hatsune Miku, for she is too powerful for us to rate). Join Jonathan, a Vocaloid amateur, and Harper, our local loid expert, in this terrifying quest, and feel free to send us your hot takes on the matter as we subject ourselves and our opinions to the world for ridicule, and maybe make some jokes along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
