I love Touhou Fan Art. it’s the fucking shit. So much of it is so amazing.
The music, and the remixes an shit are incredible to. A quater of my MP3 player is Touhou tunes.
Zun can’t draw for shit tho. Games are pretty damn fun for being made by a drunk tho.
If that’s lesson 1, what’s lesson 2?
Though I have to admit, I have a hard time understanding “doujin powers” and I’m a huge Jojo’s fan. Like defying blah blah blah or some BS that we possibly can’t understand but that just translates to shooting more bullets in gameplay. The whole Nasuverse throws me for a loop, maybe because the guy also contradicts himself in different mediums and interviews. Like seriously, like some dude being an abstract idea that can’t die, someone manipulating causality, erasing people from existence while they are in ssj2, etc. It’s like please bitch you just hit him with a knife.
whats hard to understand about super powered lolis doing super powered things in their own little world
zun made a starting point when he invented the toehoe world and characters, and the rest is japan’s imagination going wild.
japanese dudes nerding out is y we have anime!
For Touhou the answer is simple. It was magic. Everything that happens is because of Magic.
Touhous interesting in that it doesn’t actually have any badguys. The conflicts all end up being rather innocent in the end and the antagonists always befriend the protagonists in the end. Also 99% of Touhou narrative anything is fan made. Always found that a little cool.
Nah it’s more like I play the game and decide to look up some of the back story of the characters and it describes their power as something abstract like manipulating fate, boundaries (though in this case the portals are cool), or some other thing. But when you play the game it’s just another way to shot projectiles at you. You can probably say it’s the gap between powers we are told and powers we actually experience while playing.
I guess the nerding out and weird explanations make it unique though. Like lancer from Fate/Stay Night can always hit your heart because something about effecting causality to always get the outcome where you are hit except if you have a high luck stat. Which honestly could be easier explained like Bullseye in the marvel universe never misses and has perfect accuracy unless you’re lucky and he screws up. First one sounds more OP i guess.
well its been a while since i looked at the stuff
iirc the lolis got all these baller ass powers but like radiantsilvergun3 said the conflicts are all pretty innocent so theyre all just kinda doing the whole bullet shooting thing to make stuff interesting. i mean if stuff were all srs bsns mode it would be like…“i changed fate so you are will to die to me here” “well i made it so you dont exist” uhhhh halp my brain hurts and this story sux. its a lot less dumb if they agree to not use powers and just have projectile chucking contests to determine who is right. an irl analogy would be you and another guy settling a disagreement with a FT10 in some game instead of stabbing each other.
at least thats how it is in the shootan gaems. donjon gaems can do w/e since the “guidelines” set by zun arent really strict
Zun has Guidelines? lol
“You can use my universe and the characters within it however you want as long as the art is better than the official ones that i drew. Zun and ONLY ZUN deserves the right to make bad drawings of Toehoes.”
But seriously, all I think he askes for is no one to start commercialising it and keep it within the realms of doujinshi where everything is fanmade.
maybe guidelines wasnt the right word but stuff like “this character is a snow fairy” (so dont give it fire powers) and “this character has a sword” (please use it for something)
i guess common sense stuff based on what he explicitly said about the characters in his games. maybe theres a word for that but i cant think of it right now.
i mean he has to care a little about what people do with his characters…
Haha yea i was mostly kidding Domino. I laughed at “Please use it for something” tho, so it was worth it.
But yea he’s been super resistant to any kind of official anime or anything of the sort, so commercialization seems to be the thing he wants as far away from his stuff as possible. He lets the fans run the fuck amok tho.
Why do you have this quote on hand? Stalkerken.
(does this thing display moon runes?)
hes got the スピリトジュース日記.
~~: HAPPY END :~~
personally if i got that id kill myself
I remembered it and looked it up real quick
Because he’s in love with you, obviously.
I cried manly tears man, freakin’ manly tears for “The iDOLM@STER” ep. 20.
I cried almost as much manly tears for this episode as when I beat “The iDOLM@STER 2” with Chihaya and got the good ending. TT^TT
EDIT
Got this just last week, and thought I would like to share.
Hey Aria, just letting you know that the Fall 2011 Show Guide pic 403’d, and are you still considering posting previous seasons’ show guides eventually?
I’ll look for a fixed link ASAP.
As for the older guides? Well the earlier seasons have already passed and all and we’ve just started with Fall 2011. If it’s preferable by the majority, I’ll see if I could post up from Winter 2011 or even from 2010.
Edit: Scratch that, I added the Spring, Summer and Winter '11 season guides anyway.
Thanks for that. I suppose I can pull my own weight and go digging for the older season guides for the sake of the anime newbies that may wander here.
Bullet Hell looks interesting, and at the same time stupidly difficult. Anyway, regarding those fan arts, I’ve been going nuts about stuff like this:
