Some snippets from Zun's twitter feed: "Just havin' a little lunch. Man that's huge." http://twitpic.com/df5fxg "Had dinner tonight at an American beer bar. Moot told me on the way back that people were recognizing me as the Touhou creator, but I don't understand English." "I'm curious about Pokemon vs. Digimon on multiple levels." (Japanese commenters: "Is that a thing?") Hokuto fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Sep 27, 2013 |

Hokuto posted:"I'm curious about Pokemon vs. Digimon on multiple levels." (Japanese commenters: "Is that a thing?") Huh. I never quite realized that the rivalry didn't exist in Japan. Just goes to show, I guess. Is that 4chan's Moot he's talking about there?  EDIT: vvvv Ah, I hadn't realized that moot was a guest of honor; I thought somehow he was the one that convinced ZUN to come out to America or something.

KataraniSword posted:Is that 4chan's Moot he's talking about there? Yes. In the original tweet he writes @moot; it isn't really strange that guests of honor end up dining together. I believe it's common for the convention's hosts to take them out. Either way, the man seems to be enjoying it and learning just how much international fandom he actually has gathered. I think good things will happen

I think moot and ZUN know each other to some degree, since pictures of them drinking together in Japan showed up on their Twitter accounts last year or so.

I draw a webcomic so I don't feel like drawing other stuff that often. But I'm going to try to draw for fun more often now that I have a Tumblr.

Panel was pretty good. Super packed though, massive line all around the lobby. Started 20 mins late and wound up being pretty much all Q&A. Looking at his twitter he was apparently astonished that he got so many super nerdy questions about PC98 games and unused characters.

ZUN In America so far is everything I've hoped it would be.  I can't stop laughing at the ZUN and Shou picture. Not really in a mocking fashion either, for cosplay, that's a damned good costume. More just hilarious in a baffling way.

"What are your feelings about old characters like Mima returning?" "Well. I won't say 'no'." more importantly "Will you add any guys as characters?" "Guys are unnecessary in video games."

More snippets from today: "Man, there's a pretty big line already. Oh God, I can't even speak English!" "Honey, my 480 seat room hit capacity and they had to cut off the line. Holy crap!" "I never thought I'd be answering questions about unused characters and what happened to so-and-so from the PC98 games at a Q&A session in a foreign country." (Commenters: "Did they ask about Satsuki Rin?!") "Here's an American microbrewery and restaurant. The beer's got too much of a kick if you ask me."

I wonder what sort of beer he had that left him with an unfortunate impression. Someone please ask him to do official Momiji Inubashiri art sometime in the future. She's been in two games now and she still hasn't rated a picture yet.

 ZUN in the middle. I'm off to the left somewhere. I'm honestly amazed at how much more Touhou presence there is at the con compared to the last time I was here a couple years ago. Back then I think the only Touhou-related stuff I saw was one booth with some wallscrolls and one Reimu cosplay. This year not only is it all over the dealer's room, Touhou costumes are almost up there in popularity with Shingeki no Kyojin and Sword Art Online. Regarding the beer issue, I'm somewhat disappointed that AWA is located off in the sticks on the north side of the city. We have some really good craft beer bars but they're a pretty good haul away from the con so I dunno if he'll have a chance to go.

I'm kind of surprised nobody brought some quality beers as a gift or anything. I was half expecting ZUN to walk out of the con with a basket full of beer like some kind of alcoholic Halloween.

Frankly I'm kind of sad that he got so many silly questions about PC-98 and Satsuki Rin (whose full story is already known? why would anyone ask that?) instead of perfectly good silly questions about Gensokyo metaphysics.

Despite the fact that this sort of thing is the hardest to have answered naturally. I mean, if/when Touhou comes out on Steam it wouldn't have really mattered if anyone asked here, would it? Whereas if no asks if Medicine is a tsukumogami or not he'll take that knowledge to his grave.

I think it was commonly accepted before TH10 even came out. More importantly, nobody wants her around, in or out of canon.
