Yukari can be Crowley, she's already got sinister plans for the outside world. So sinister, in fact, that the pages turned black. Plus there's the obvious connection with Maribel.

Just make their Castiel some new youkai, Japan has no shortage of nice youkai to choose from I'm sure.

I'm doing A Thing, I suppose. Some touhou remixing because I haven't done any of that in any real capacity, and I figured Pristine Beat was a good place to start because it's loving great.

Nothing flashy at the moment, but it's still a draft, and I'm messing around anyway.

A good start, although a bit rough around the edges. I hate to criticize it in its current state, but I think the transitions between the softer, jazzy reinterpretation and the more intense original feeling of the song don't work very well. I'm... pretty ignorant on musical theory though.

Nah, that's what I posted it for, it's fine. And I get what you mean. I need to tone down the sax, make it a bit softer, so it blends in better with the piano and bass. The attack on the sax is too sharp, it's like feathering an image.

Tweaked it a bit, I'll keep plugging away at it, see if it works at all or not.

Around 0:13 when the piano transitions to its second melody, I could've used a lot more swing in the rhythm. It sounds like you've just got a bunch of | 4 4 4 4 | when something like | 4. (triplet) | seems like it would work better.

Also I would quiet the sax even more from 0:26-0:39 with a big pop at 0:40, but that might be more bigband than you're going for.

I mostly feel sorry for actual people named Lolita. I guess they could always go by Lola or Dolores, but it's impressive how ruined that name is.

Are there any anime/manga characters named Lolita(preferably not little girls)? That would do a good job with breaking otaku brains.

None than I'm aware of. But Japan isn't known by its knowledge of latino names, one series have a character named Nadie (nobody) and no one bats an eye.

I'm always get a kick of 'waifu' it just sound so corny and childish than I found it endearing.

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.

I 1CC'd IN on normal a while back and it wasn't that hard at all to me. I think I also beat Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream a long time ago when I first came across the PC-98 games.

ZUN needs to do another one of the Twinkle Star Sprites type games, PoFV and Dim Dream were loving awesome and doing a third one with netplay would be amazing.

Ahhhh, I'm afraid I'm too busy to do much drawing nowadays, and Touhou doesn't really inspire me the way it used to anymore. Sorry. :(

I'm not an avid gamer so it took me some time and effort to 1cc stuff, even on easy (just got through SA with ReimuA). I've only 1cc'd three of the games on normal.

Some of the endings are pretty hilarious.

Speaking of the endings, is there a way to see the ones I cleared in-game or do I have to actually beat the games again?

Easy isn't really balanced evenly across games. IN and TD Easy are trivial, while PCB and SA Easy aren't really that much below Normal.

Speaking of easy mode, I was proud to beat the Mountain of Faith (easy) spell card with needle Reimu recently. I'm not very good at these games either, but I wanted to do that one in particular since I'd already cleared the easier Normal version.

Psst... if you want to read an ending again, there's always the Touhou Endings Wiki.

The only main Touhou game I've never beaten on any difficulty is Mountain of Faith. For two reasons: Kanako's final spellcard is a nightmare for me even on Easy mode, and that annoying continue system discourages me from playing the game for very long.

I can 1cc a handful of games on Normal and Easy but I'll never ever beat an Extra stage.
