I'm glad posting Mima is finally a bannable offense, in the sports subforum.

I'm glad Sane is showing her true colours when teaming up with Reimu, I did insist that Sanae's polite exterior in the previous chapter was a bit of a facade.

I like how you can tell the Three Fairies artist is also a huge turbo-fan because he uses crowd-shots as an excuse to draw cameos 100% of the time, instead of random villagers. Though on the other hand that does make the world of Touhou feel a bit smaller in the works he's involved in.

Borrowing Unzan for what exactly?

In the most recent WaHH the Myouren Temple had Unzan transform into a giant resting Buddha statue for some Buddhist holiday or another. When Reimu found she blackmailed the Buddhist crew to lent her Unzan and have him transform into a giant Shinto shrine gate or whatever so she can also gather lots of faith.

If anything, getting ranked highly by Reimu is worse for your wellbeing than being ranked lowly by her.

I do love though how TasoFro just drops all pretense and plays the You Wa Shock musical stinger when an opponent gets beat by Musou Tensei in the round in Soku.

The English translation is serviceable. It's not what I would call good by any stretch of the word, but I was kind of expecting worse to be honest.

Then again TasoFro presumably paid for, so you'd probably want a translation you can say better things about than "is in English".

Touhou running on Simpsons time was a thing I always assumed was true but hoped it wasn't. I suppose it never quite mattered since most characters are timeless anyway but it's gonna be awkward if Sumireko spends the rest of the story on the brink of graduation for years to come.

Frankly the thing that would hold Sumireko back from graduating high school the most is that TasoFro would have to make new sprites for her, anyway.

Hopeless Masquerade is trash, Urban Legend in Limbo is a bit less trash, I actually enjoy and regularly play Antinomy of Common Flower.

I discovered that Chinese weeaboos also insert Japanese honorifics into conversation. Flandre calls Remilia "Jie Jie Da Ren," where Jie Jie is how anyone refers to their older sister and Da Ren literally means adult and sounds loving stupid to me as an actual Chinese person but the term is the literal translation for nee-sama.

There's something comforting about knowing how seemlessly being a massive weeb crosses language barriers.

I wasn't even being sarcastic, I genuinely prefer Akyu Hiedano over Hieda no Akyu just because of the awkward inconsistency between Western and Japanese naming orders the latter creates in character names.

Captain Invictus posted:

I'm glad people enjoy the games and I like seeing videos of them as well but anything past Gradius levels of shooter is a big ol' nope for me no matter how good they are.

To be honest I always found Gradius stuff harder just because a single slip-up means you lose roughly two dozen power ups, and every stage halfway through is designed around having all those upgrades. If I mess up in Touhou all that happens is that my shot-type gets slightly weaker and I get reimbursed two bombs.

Imagine if in Touhou a single death meant you're now slow as molasses and can't really dodge anything anymore.

Also yeah, ZUN seems to just love the whole doujin scene and experience, but in recent years he seems to have warmed up to the idea that international fans would like to buy his games but that traveling halfway across the world for them is perhaps not reasonable.

Until TasoFro figures out how netplay or at least lobbies work, it's hard to recommend the game.

Of all the Touhou fighters I enjoy it the most, but if you don't know people near enough you that you can play with it's basically a single player fighting game and that's not great.

everyone who decides to abbreviate Clownpiece as "Clownpi" is a bad person, morally

a cartoon duck
Sep 5, 2011

Yeah, he's already said in past interviews he leaves translations to fans because they got that poo poo on lockdown already and would understand Touhou better than a professional translation team at this point. The fact he calls it part of the doujin spirit pretty much proves he's all in favor of it.

After Antinomy of Common Flower's official translation I can't say he's wrong, either.

reimu also never wears high-heeled sandals in the games and manga

frankly not giving reimu her cool as hell winter boots from forbidden scrollery is a huge moral failure in itself

Music circles always seem to focus on Necrofantasia over Evening Star ~ Night Falls and it's a crying shame.

Also: Every time I click on some Japanese-titled video with a Seiga thumbnail hoping it's Old Yuanxian but it's just Desire Drive yet again.

She is a named character with an introduction card which means she is legally not allowed to die ever and is here to stay.
