Do people think every character with twintails looks like Miku now? If anything, I think she mostly resembles Lenalee from D.Gray-man. She is not Hatsune Miku (to be honest, I’m kind of sick of so many people thinking she’s ~dark miku~ or something. A quick primer for those who are still confused about ‘why a vocaloid song got made into an anime’ : Black★Rock Shooter is an original character by the artist huke.
