Also he really loving loves guns.

Given the strong as gently caress airsoft community in japan and the like, 8 airsoft stores in akihabara alone, pretty sure he is an airsofter with at least one or two other touhou doujin artists, one of which Ive even seen a youtube channel of gopro headcam footage of them playing.

Airsoft is my favourite thing and it intersecting with touhous is even better.

Yeah, the story that was linked had him discussing models and an upcoming "survival game" (I'm assuming this is like paintball with airsoft?) with a bunch of people half the time. Heck, I'm pretty sure the guy you mentioned appears and gets his channel linked halfway through (has hundreds of thousands of views). I didn't know it was such a popular thing, since I thought guns were super regulated there, but I guess that's the very reason why such a community would appear in the first place.


EDIT: Don't really wanna double post but someone finally bothered making English patches for all the PC-98 games. Comes with a ton of trivia.
It's also the corniest thing ever:

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Two new chapters of Forbidden Scrollery! 18 and 19! Available on the wiki or on this reader.

In which Akyuu and Kosuzu solve another minor incident in the village, as they do. Not guest starring Keine, despite taking place at school. Features dramatic looming.

And with this we're caught up on FS! Next is Wild and Horned Hermit, probably.

Convince a licenser to pick up this and all the other Touhou comics series and have me translate them.

I really like Reimu when she's acting big and bad and Kosuzu had a few good moments too.

Convincing a licenser would be easy enough, just need to show them how much cash the average otaku spends on useless touhou crap.

Convincing ZUN, on the other hand...

Apparently ZUN actually tells people who ask to license them that he doesn't need them because his fans do it anyway. Well, he says: "are you better than my fans?" I guess he's proud of us?

Of all the possible reasons not to license something, that might be the worst I can possibly imagine.

That only applies to his doujin works, which he is determined to not give up any control over. As for his commercial publications, some of the Touhou manga and books have been published in Taiwan, Korea, Thailand and Indonesia, so it seems he has always understood that they are out of his hands. In theory, I don't think he'll stop you from publishing the three fairies manga in the United States if you want to.

I've never heard of this circle before. Based on their home page http://bostontouhou.web.fc2.com/ it looks like they're a group of exchange students actually living in Boston, so this might be one of the few (only?) circles with native English vocals.

Orange Jam does too, with the singer being raised in California.

Also, the Toho Eurobeat series regularly features tracks by T. Stebbins/Odyssey, another American.

Were Yuyuko and Youmu facing the random ghost mid-boss from Ten Desires. :allears:

Also, I suppose this answers my question about whether they were going to be adapting SA, and it looks like it's because they're not adapting UFO fully yet, which is probably for the best.

FMW2 had an english font. Some of the song titles were in English. So, I guess that's not the primary obstacle.

As far as I can tell, the issue is that while it's trivial to decompile the .exe in Game Maker, without the appropriate modules there's no way to recompile. So no easy access to the .dats.

I don't even follow that many series and there's still so many references.
Anyway, from the looks of the interface, it would seem the story progression is actually going to be partial UFO->IN->SA, if only because Utsuho had stupid amounts of MP compared to Eirin (990 MP to 450 MP). Although there was absolutely no trace of Koishi so...who knows.

It's probably going to be set up IN > SA > IN, since the game is named after IN. Utsuho is living nuclear power, of course she has a bajillion MP.

...Though Utsuho would make a much cooler final boss.

Also the best random rear end reference was Mokou pulling a Revolving Stake on Meiling.

I hope they take the stage in IN where you fight Reimu or Marisa and make it a big brawl between two different factions like Zeuth vs Zeuth.
