Hypochondriac Patchouli leaves battles not because she can't finish it but because she started coughing and has to run to her books to see what her "symptoms" all add up to.

Kanako installs the internet into Gensoukyo. Patchouli ends up spending every day nagging at Eientei about her multiple malignant cancers, organ failure and weeping penis.

Isn't it already along the lines of "I got up too quickly and felt light-headed, which probably means I have anemia, and that's why I lost, not because I'm terrible at danmaku" which while not being hypochondria, is creative lying to avoid admitting defeat. I do like the idea of it being "I got up too quickly and felt light-headed, this probably means I have a dangerous blood clot preventing oxygen from reaching my brain; you're the real monster by forcing a gravely ill person to fight".

If anyone uses the Touhou Launcher I made then I thought you'd like to know that I've done a few updates since my last post. I still haven't figured out how to do outlined text on the buttons (it's possible with just text but not with buttons as far as I'm aware) but I've made some general improvements.

So I finished checking the translation for WaHH 20 and decided to read ahead a couple of chapters and I can't wait to get to them. This goes for Chapter 22 in particular, because ZUN actually brings Tama-chan into Gensokyo and it is incredible.

I don't know if this is really worth talking about but a friend just linked me to this and it looks pretty interesting if nothing else. I'm curious to see where it goes because Renko and Maribel are cool and the circle seems to have some neat ideas. The first episode is planned to be released in November and here's the trailer for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0A4acZHHwM. The shot of the Hakurei Shrine at the end is gorgeous.

I wonder if this one will take as long as that other Touhou fanime to come out. At least this one has something resembling an interesting plot? EDIT: Wait so this is going to be taking place in the past (hence young Byakuren, living Yuyuko and Mokou), but also in the present? Why are Kanako/Suwako and Reisen around?

Technically it looks like it'll also be taking place in the future because you know, the Sealing Club. Also it will probably take just as long as the other fanime because they're apparently hoping to do what that project did and release one episode, then hopefully get enough fan support and funds to make the rest. And I don't see this being more successful, I wish it the best though because it looks more interesting to me than doing a straight adaption of the games. Danmaku fights are tough to make look good in animation.

No, I think those didn't have any problems. The one that I remember being "shut down" so to speak was a crossover with some more commercial, non-doujin series I think?

HGH posted:No, I think those didn't have any problems. ZUN did (apparently) get mad at the one with professional voice-actresses (the aforementioned one where everyone's stuff gets stolen) because it was initially marketting itself as "the Touhou anime" and he felt that people would misconstrue it as an officially sanctioned project and it would detract from the games being the main focus, so he made them change their name and call attention to the fact that it was a doujin work.

ZUN only objected to the anime that was being made by a professional anime studio. As long as its obviously "doujin" then he doesn't care about anything like voices. Also, apparently voice actors are always starving and will work for cheap; this wouldn't be the first time a professional voice actor worked on a doujin project. Apparently that's actually the cheapest part of production? Anyway, based on the trailer and the promotional material they've released, it seems to me that it's going be using Renko and Merryberry as a framing device to show stories about various backstories. Which I think is a smart choice because the backstories are where stuff happens, unlike the games or manga which are a bit too attached to the status quo to do anything interesting.

I thought he got mad because most of those fanime had breasts the size of cantaloupes all over the place. In addition to the branding issue.

FractalSandwich posted:Oh, that was a professional studio? Yikes. In that case, how did the project ever get to the point where anyone on the outside knew about it at all? How is "Do we actually have permission to do that?" not the first thing everyone in charge asks? ZUN had previously given standing permission as part of his doujin thing, and after that he clarified what things you needed explicit permission for.

Even so, I'm surprised that anyone would greenlight anything like that without ironclad signed permission. But I guess they must have.

The changelist for FMW3 v1.1.0 is mostly additional dialogue, but there have been some scattered gameplay changes. Suika and Yuyuko have 6 Move now, the route split chapters are more lenient on Cost so you can bring in more people, Mima picked up Supreme but got super nerfed (her ability no longer makes all her attacks post-movement) in exchange, and there's been various attack parameter readjustments. 37M's bonus has changed into something much more reasonable (kill 3 kappa in 4 turns), and Wriggle's spellcard actually works now. Any bugs in her field will automatically Support Defend for her, so just bomb the danmaku she's standing on then blow her up. Alice also gets her buff on that stage now instead of 38M, or maybe I just never noticed her movelist changing. Hatate actually shows up for the fight this time in 40M. End of Imperishable Night has both of Kaguya's barriers up and running now, so it's actually a little harder to blow through. In 44, Flandre spawns Maze of Love from where she starts the map, not all the way up north. So no easy cheesing the bonus requirements anymore. 49's bonus seems stricter now; all units have to be to the right of the line, and I think you can't just pile everyone in the ship anymore. Dunno, I'll have to do some testing. And as I mentioned earlier, 55 severely ramps up Subterranean Sun; Utsuho has much more HP, and her power boosts by 100 every time you hit her. If you don't bomb the danmaku you'll very quickly find everyone only doing 10 HP worth of damage. Oh and Merlin's MAP has a horn play for its SFX now.

The fact that such old rumors like "ZUN said no Touhou anime ever" are still floating around kind of frustrates me that there were few translators worth their salt in the community until fairly recently. Or maybe it's just the more sensationalist stuff tends to stick around longer. Admittedly I'm still confused as why some circles are uploading Touhou albums to international-oriented bandcamp-like websites when ZUN said something about not doing that but maybe I missed something. a cartoon duck posted:this is the silliest translation i've seen of her name so far

leather fedora posted:It's actually more accurate to the Japanese pronunciation than Maribel is, but a lot of people think the same way you do which is why most people just go with Merry/Mary. I always thought the joke was that her name was Maribel, but it translated in Japanese to some nonsense that didn't sound like a name. So Renko just calls her Merry instead.

I agree, except you added the unnecessary step where her name is something other than nonsense. I'm pretty sure Maryberry or whatever is intended to be foreign-sounding nonsense, and people trying to twist it into a real name are missing the joke.

But it's supposed to be english foreign-sounding nonsense and I speak english, so it makes more sense to me for her name to be something I vaguely understand. Although you're probably right that Zun never intended for it to actually resemble a name.

I'd be surprised if most circles and doujin group actually give a gently caress what ZUN thinks. I always got the impression most of them just sell Touhou-themed stuff because it's easier to sell products with established characters than sell something completely new to people. From what I hear Japan's only fairly recently started getting into the whole online distribution thing, so it's only now that ZUN's whole doujin honour code thing gets ignored because previously groups didn't see that as an option.

Yeah, but you still can't buy it from overseas unless you have a Japanese credit card or e-cash. Most circles do try to stay within his code, mostly because they do respect his wishes and try to remain well-behaved. It could be that they aren't aware of it, since he hasn't said anything as of late and as you mentioned, his opinions are slowly but surely changing.
