Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "The Eyes that Don't Vanish", which is what netted in a lot of the fans in the first place.
2* FanNickname: To distinguish the characters of the series from their more official Vocaloid personas, they're often given "Puu" prefixes (As Putin is spelled in Japanese as Puuchin); [=PuuRin=] and [=PuuLen=], for example.
3* GeniusBonus: A lot of the pop culture and historical references are hard to get unless you’re from a certain generation--as well as Japanese. It also helps to know the historical background of the Cold War and a bit about Russia. A lot of the VOCALOID references have become this too, as they deal with parts of early VOCALOID culture that are over a decade old (ex, early on Rin makes a pun on "I'll Miku Miku You", a song that newer VOCALOID fans are unlikely to have heard of).
4* TheScrappy: Hatsune Miku is for the English fanbase, in large part because of bad fan translations and canon ambiguity which make it seem like she's a bad guy--in reality, she's just obsessed with Ronald.
5* {{Squick}}: The teenage Len having an adult male lover earlier on in the series. Granted, he's a computer program, but still...
6* TheWoobie: Irina, [[spoiler:the girl that committed suicide in the Russian era and whom Rin was originally programmed to be.]] She's a child soldier who was indoctrinated to kill people, and the depression that came with it messed her up so bad that she was addicted to drugs and homicidally unstable after [[spoiler:the dog,]] her only source of happiness, was taken away. Ditto for her comrade, who was even too far gone compared to her--albeit he's more of a JerkassWoobie.
7** Teppannov, the assassin pursuing Elena. [[spoiler:He was actually her childhood friend, who grew up all alone after separating from her because he couldn't speak Russian. He eventually becomes a hitman and has to hide his feelings, only expressing himself with the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.]] By the end of the series, [[spoiler:he's lost Elena ''and'' Miku, and he opts to commit suicide by firing at Putin in full view of his bodyguards.]]
