All the dialogue is on the wiki (with the exception of the endings, which I would imagine the LPs cut out anyways).

Huh? No, so far the LPs have included the endings.

That's sort of the denouement of any LP. I wouldn't think of any reason why the ending would be excluded except if the poster had a stroke right before the last update.

There's a semi-formal rule among the Japanese Touhou fanbase: post as much gameplay footage as you like, but never post or seek out footage of the endings. So for anyone who knows an ending, you know they earned that poo poo. Or something. This was the reason for all the jokey censored ending footage in the last thread. Someone shout at me if I'm misrepresenting poo poo.

Didn't know that.

Regardless, that rule? Totally ignored on the LP forums. Not even mentioned.

In fairness the songs that wind up in the "Related Videos" tab in Youtube do tend to fit the mold, it takes some luck or digging to find other kinds in my experience, and somewhat depends on the character as well.

Well if all you listen to are mopey emo songs then that's what will be recommended. If you bothered to use the search function, then you find there's a heck of a lot more out there. :smugbert:

Eastern religion, actually; it's not just Japan it has meaning to. In fact, Buddhism and Hinduism use both the swastika and the sauwastika/reversed swastika as symbolic for different things, and amazingly, none of them have negative connotations. The idea of it representing solely the Nazi party and/or antisemitism is entirely a creation of the Western world.

Isn't there a doujin where one of the touhous (Reimu?) puts up a reverse swastika, and her shrine is visited by skinheads?

Conversely, I'd say Touhou is pretty notable for continuing to not have voice acting, even in the fighting games. From what I can tell, voice actors in Japan work for crumbs and need any job they can get.

Funnily enough, The Touhouvania fangame has voice-acting

And your comment about VAs working for crumbs helps explain why its actually decent, at least as far as I can tell. For all I know they may sound like the first Resident Evil game to native Japanese speakers.

No lie, I had to use up every star and two restarts in order to beat IN on easy, the one time I ever managed to beat a Touhou game!

I was able to Icc IN on easy, but that was because I had the cleared version that let me practice all the stages. And I only managed with the Boundary Team (Reimu always kicked my rear end, and Netherworld is just too weird for me).

EDIT: DrSunshine, are you still drawing? I'd like to make a request: Reimu introducing Sanae to Genji, but Sanae is visibly dissapointed because when she heard 'flying turtle' she automatically assumed it was Gamera.

Not sure how many people in this thread are going to Reitaisai, but I figured I'd post about this: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=43158918

The guy who made the Touhou Peanuts comics is releasing a compilation (260ish pages), but instead of using a combination of machine translation and his own guesses, he's asked me to edit/translate all of the old strips and most of the new ones, so it's more or less readable even if you don't know Japanese.

And if you're not going but still want it, PM me or something and I can hook you up, provided you have Paypal.

Did he have any problem with copyrights? I know ZUN doesn't give a crap, but I'd imagine Mr. Schulz's estate feels differently.

I really like ~xi-on~. Yeah it's basic butt-rock, but I'm into that sort of thing. Whenever I think about my idea for a Touhou-meets-Dynasty Warriors fangame that'll never be made, ~xi-on~ would be the obvious choice to do the soundtrack.

I used to keep extended vowels in everything but lately I've been thinking they may not always be necessary (like in 'youkai/yokai'). However, I try to keep them for names, because 'Yuuka' is different from 'Yuka' (although I make exceptions if it would make the pronunciation to confusing for a non-Japanese speaker).

I support Touhou over Toho though, mostly just to give it distinction, as described above.

Well, for the longest time, I thought it was pronounced as a hard-'u', like :stat: and :wal: laughing. Or the King of Town from Homestarrunner.net
