One of my favorite JP Twitter phenomena is seeing all of my followers, regardless of what fandom they moved on to, retweet news about the next Touhou announcement.

seems like a pretty natural place to slot yuuma into a main number game. and with zun art, of course

I feel like Yuuma and maybe Saki or Yachie would be a solid fit

Some mention of greedy beasts coming into the land, at the end of the description, so I'd have to imagine maybe Mike or Tsusaka will be playable.

Seiran is definitely an interesting choice of the 5 rabbit youkai since youd think it would probably be Reisen Udongein or Tewi ahead of her at the least.

Then again its 19 character slots and setting aside a few for new characters, that's still a lot of slots.

My real comedy options would probably be Reisen II or Momiji.

If 12 of the slots are for characters matching the Chinese zodiac then I can’t wait to see who’ll be Monkey and Pig

What if its just characters from the zodiac?

Rat: Nazrin
Ox: Urumi
Tiger: Shou
Rabbit: Seiran
Dragon: Yachie
Snake: Kanako??
Horse: Saki
Sheep: Yuuma
Monkey: idk, new character here
Rooster: Kutaka
Dog: Aunn
Pig: Yuyuko <_<

Although that wouldn’t explain 19 character slots

All the playables except Reimu and Marisa seem to be animals, Reimu and Marisa have animal designs added to their outfits (pawprints and cat ears), and the title of the game in Japanese is "Beast King Garden" so I am guessing that we will get Mima in cat cosplay.

Looking at the character select, Reimu and Marisa have a sky blue background, while all the animal characters have fuschia/purple. So there's definitely some sorta distinction being made between characters, but unclear of what kind yet (beyond maybe human/animal).

Not sure what's up with Marisa having red eyes now.

That's right! I'm the counting sheep, Meeko. And I'm a proper sheep youkai!

it's fascinating to me watching how some artists look at the new Marisa design and go "bnuuy," and others go "oh, kitty!"

wonder what'll wind up being the majority opinion.

for those playing lost branch, they have just added the 4th playable character to beta if you want to try them out before they go to stable and maybe curse out those 2 stupid lunar rabbits in act 3

the new character involves a neverending stream of unblockable chip damage and fairies

so many fairies which can also then be turned into chip damage and then also be used to renewably run your opponent with them

Not sure how many people played or even saw the first one, but another Touhou-style game for the Exa-Arcadia platform is going to be shown off at Reitaisai. This one will apparently be a reimagining of EoSD (whereas the first one was PCB) and will add Patchy as a playable character.

First looked like a port of Fantastic Danmaku Festival 2 (it's on Steam) with minimal changes, guessing this one is a port of the first game (also on Steam)

It's cool how that doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere on exa-arcadia's pages for these $2000 games

nope, that was explicitly stated in the post about the release, theres not gonna be any character reveals until the full release in august. people have even tried datamining the demo and the only thing they found was some leftover assets from 18.5

hope the full game has an arcade mode with the normal versus rules instead of the way story mode works, like the phantasmagoria games. but also please turn down the AI. this computer with instant reaction times is for some reason really good at death bombing!

Another Reitaisai, another round of tweets amazed at how many kids were in attendance.
- "There are more elementary school kids this time."
- "Didn't you say something like that a few years ago?"
- "But those kids would be in middle or high school by now."
- "Which means... Touhou has been spreading among each new class for the last 5 years?!"

When pretty much every other doujin fandom has been seeing the average age rise, Touhou sticking around purely because of yukkuris and memes is something to behold. I myself saw Cool & Create had a massive line since their new single featured both Marasy (another popular artist with the younger set) and Miku. Teenagers buying CDs in numbers like that hasn't been seen in the west since the turn of the century.

I remember hearing about the gacha this is advertising. Something about being a weird knockoff game that steals / reuses a buncha assets and renamed itself 2 or 3 times.
