Marisa is clearly hiding that Truck from the police so she can sell the goods later on.

She wants to hide the truck so she can keep Mew for herself.

I know me and some others were talking about what a Touhou/Dynasty Warriors fangame would be like, and that first minute or so really caught that vibe.

I still need this is my life and would give Omega Force millions to do it if I could. Touhou Musou Empires. Think about it.

Keep in mind that Yugi Motou kept his own name in the 4kids dub, so Ray-Moon and Marsala could keep their originals.

Show us on the doll where the Yuuka fans touched you.

And Flan has sort of the same problem as Horo does in Spicy Wolf; personal pronunciation and transliteration and shaky handwriting/translation does strange things to stranger names.

But in Korbo's case, her creator confirmed the L in her name and had her name written in cursive English in the anime.

Even if we were interested, though, it's already clear that it would be a massive and hellish project. Tasofro's coding is FAR less mod-friendly than ZUN's, even in the best of circumstances. Here's an example. You know how when someone declares a spellcard in IaMP, the spellcard name and timer show up in simple text under your lifebar?

Yeah - that's not actually text. That is the spellcard name prerendered and stored as an image file, then displayed with on-the-fly transparency effects in to-the-pixel explicitly defined space on the screen...

Having experienced this before in doujin game translation, I recall dealing with this probably one of the easiest parts of graphic editing. I don't know if Tasofro does something weird, but the text is generally in a uniform grid on a .png, alongside a solid color .png "template" with" cutouts" for the text images. Essentially, you find the size of the grid blocks, and then the fun begins. I say fun legitimately, because in my opinion, half the enjoyment of projects like this is deciding on font styles, as you aren't bound by half-width system sans serif fonts. You can decorate it and stylize it however you want! It can be a tedious undertaking if there are tons of images, but having seen IaMP's source sprite sheets, I dare say I would have actually enjoyed that part.

That and fitting in translated text. Divine Arts "Omnidirectional Demon Binding Circle" is a heck of a lot wider than 神技「八方鬼縛陣」 for instance.

Surely you can condense that to help, though? "Binding Circle" could become "Snare", for instance?

That poll reminded me of a question I want to ask - Why exactly does Septette for the Dead Princess win the music polls so consistently? It's a nice song and all but I wouldn't even rate it in ZUN's top 5 of final boss music, let alone the entire series.

Otaku love garbage for no reason. That, or they really love Beethoven Virus.

So it seems that although she herself cannot travel back into the past to change it, she can summon stuff from the past and the future into the present? Instead of you going to the past, you bring the past to you? What if she tried summoning herself?

These questions are what doujinshi artists live for. We need this from you.

I really shouldn't be surprised given how little most Touhou fans seem to care about actual media created by ZUN, but I still cannot help but be really disappointed they cannot even be bothered to care about the official mangas more than I dunno, adult men pretending to be animu girls in some weird-rear end pseudo-biographical works and other crap like that.

Do you honestly think the general otaku population cares about the story and lore of a series with a nearly all-female cast? Let's be honest here.

This is worse than ?

I mean, I most of my favorite characters are from the earlier games, but the newer ones are still good games with good character designs!

Why did you choose Meiling's portrait over the glory of EoSD Sakuya when comparing a portrait of Sakuya???

I think you're thinking way too much into it dude. It's just a shmup, not a visual novel. Just play the games drink some booze have some fun.

That may be, but there is a ton of underlying lore that goes with all of it that makes far more than a shmup. If anyone thought way much into it, it's ZUN himself.

I'm fairly sure the word itself is French but when I read it I think of a knight bowing to a woman on a horse, so

Which is how I feel about Lady/Milady. Very knightly.

The thing to consider is that there isn't a 1:1 translation for some of this stuff, and Lady or Dame or Madame could all be used of -sama and -dono. You have to use what sounds the most natural coming out of the mouths of actual people, both the characters and the readers, which is why I err n the side of Lady.

That's actually really cool. A couple of the backgrounds looked bad, but the actual gameplay parts looked awesome. (Ikaruga is my favorite shmup, so I may be a little biased.)

I like the fact that the EX boss abandoned her old body once she felt the mallet's power, and then went to the outside world for a new drum set...and some new clothes. http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Raiko_Horikawa

She looks like she came from Umineko.

I would hope he'd try to go with Steam first. That'd be the most logical way to go about releasing in the west.

It'd never happen, but I wish he'd let Carpe Fulgur handle the localization.

CF doing the translation would be pretty fantastic. They pretty much excel at localization.

So apparently ZUN's coming to the US in two weeks? And he's made some autographed merch.

I'm not sure whether to laugh at or pity whoever ends up with a wall-eyed autographed ZUN art Tenshi shirt. Probably both.

This is the official shirt of the con, limited edition, limited stock. Also, this is the first time ZUN has ever something like this for an event, so this is a big deal.

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.

He got like 2 questions about PC-98 and Rin. Other than a few stupid ones, all the questions were pretty great.

I didn't really get that part of his confusion because in GLORIOUS NIPPON there's a very high proportion of male Touhou cosplayers, too.

He clarified at a later panel that he was surprised at the diversity of the cosplayers, commenting on the male-female ratio. While there were a lot of male cosplayers, there were quite a few girls too.
