Earlier this month, Internet Software company’s next Vocaloid virtual idol was revealed to be voiced by Nakajima Megumi (Ranka Lee of Macross F). This week we find out that the new software, entitled 「megpoid」, will be released June 26th — retail price: 15,750 yen; [Preorder]. The new Vocaloid character is named GUMI and was designed by manga artist Yuuki Masami (of Mobile Police Patlabor and Birdy the Mighty fame).

Seriously….where did the vocaloid-style design go?? She looks like an idol girl from a overrated moe-anime. Compared to this and the last i think Neru and Haku are well-designed afterall. (easy to recognize as Vocaloid)
Uh…Is it okay to say that the design is not good, even though I don't follow much of the whole Vocaloid thing?
I dont like it T,T
I was expecting a better made vocaloid, but it sort of seems that the character design for this one was sorta rushed.
I don't really like it….
I'm getting hints of Ranka from the character design, though that may just be me.
It's simpler than the other official VOCALOID2 designs so far, so it's kinda disappointing.
Let's hope fanart can save it.
Actually, it is a rushed artwork if you look at the outlining. They didn't even really darken it and clearly the faces haven’t been revised to fit the mouth at all… But then again, its SSW we're talking about here, so who knows?
I am saying she will be like gackpoid, just some vocaloid that sounds real funny until someone who knew how to use her came along…
Man…. Please bring us KEI (the one who illustrated other VOCALOID 2) ….
Mmm, now the name “Rankaloid” sounds better than Megpoid XD

She has no number…o,O
Not that Gakupo does either…
I prefer the fanart above the pict
two words!
NO-MOE
Note that only Crypton Vocaloids were illustrated by KEI. Megpoid, like Gacktpoid, are made by another company.
And yeah, my heart sank when i saw the character design. It doesn't really appeal to me…
hurmm … i think the design is pretty catchy actually. Unique. it has that “Macross Frontier” feel to it. Though, I have to agree it's pretty bland :
OH ALMOST FORGOT. I hope her voice makes up for her lacking design D:
That's just… ew. I can't decide whether they were trying too hard or too little. I really like Nakajima Megumi's voice, though, so maybe that'll be Megpoid's redeeming factor…
The Vocaloids I think you're thinking of (like Hatsune Miku) is designed by KEI from Crypton, which is a different company.
i think the design's bit old-fashioned >_<

I don't like at all the design of the character, but her voice is really nice! (:

I really like her voice but.. the pic is to rushed i really wished they would make a better design for her she doesn't look like she's one of the normal vocaloids… :(
uhm.. doesnt anyone else realize this might be a prank like teto and yokune ruko were… she could be an utauloid based prank like ruko or some one else's parnk
It is Ranka's design actually, well based on it. Since Megumi Nakajima also did voice her before.. haha ~
lol, you should check out the user MineK on youtube (check “minek gakupo” on the search button), nicovideo.jp or piapro (he will come up with numbers next to his name) who I personally think uses Gakupo in an awesome way XD Perhaps, MineK will also use Megpoid in the future too. X3 He knows how to use Meiko pretty well too.
Megpoid looks pretty… eh, but the artwork that I've already seen of her in other styles is pretty cute XD
i dun like.
I really like the voice for megpoid, it's kinda like Luka, with a hint of Rin. Though the design is a bit bland, it leaves a lot to work with, it proves just how well the fan-artists work when they make something so plain so sweet. I think that may have been what the designer was going for. Perhaps they were just going for a simple, different look rather than sticking to the same stuff as usual. Also, I thought KEI designed Gackpoid?
Gakupo's designer was Kentarou Miura.
………….
I would prefer to have BRS added with copyright then this. But *shrug* let's see how she develops.
her design is awful!
what on earth happened?!
Omg I love her! Though I like how she looks but it's nothing like Vocaloid looks. Though gackupo doesn't either….. I love her voice though it doesn't sound robotic.
Hate her. Nothing like how Vocaloid should look. TERRIBLE.
Sorry I know I'm being rude, but Gumi REALLY annoys me ahaha. ^^;

don't like, don't like~! even if the voice is good the design is extremely saddening~! no feel of vocaloid what-so-ever! (boo~! =3=)
This can't be a vocaloid it soooo bad!!!!
Dont look from its appearance, voice that all i need.
<3 gumi
Neru y Haku are not official, just fan made; and even those fan made are better than this!
