Back in June of 2025, a bout of chaos flooded the English-Speaking Vocal Synthesis fanbase as, after years of going to ANiCUTE.com, the store suddenly closed with little to no warning. This left many users confused and unable to make purchases of their favourite banks including AiKO, GENBU, and of course, the well beloved Eleanor Forte. With the sudden closure, there's still many things that we don't understand so please allow me to explain the struggles the company, Animen, were going through, how to currently get your favourite voicebanks, and each of their respective futures.
