I'm surprised Komachi (the girl who always gets slapped with a redneck accent) isn't on that list.

Wait, no. Too easy.

I have no need for this elitist bullshit of "reflexes" and "timing". gently caress haterz.

(The only level five boss I've gotten to was Toyosatomimi on Easy. :negative:)

I was thinking Byakuren's "hat" looked like a giant orange peel...

I'm assuming it changes between looking like that and glowing sutras.

Isn't Koishi supposed to be incredibly hard to take notice of? How would that play off the popularity mechanic?

She apparently only appears if she finds you interesting (or, if you believe Akyuu, are a child/weirdo like her, because :downs:).

Alice hasn't shown up yet. Obviously that means she's going to show up in the background of a Makai level, because Shinki will be a playable character. Also while we're at it, Rin Satsuki will be there too. Also Zun will show up at my doorstep and give me a free copy of Hopeless Masqurade and the full version of Double Dealing character.

This will, of course, mean more lovely jokes by unfunny comic artists about why Alice sucks, like the lovely jokes about Sakuya last year.

lovely jokes comprise the bulk of Touhou dialog, Touhou fandom, and Japanese humor. They are the lifeblood of weird Japanese entertainment.

Touhou dialogue doesn't regurgitate the same tired poo poo about how much of a loser Alice/Sakuya is. :colbert:

I really shouldn't be surprised given how little most Touhou fans seem to care about actual media created by ZUN, but I still cannot help but be really disappointed they cannot even be bothered to care about the official mangas more than I dunno, adult men pretending to be animu girls in some weird-rear end pseudo-biographical works and other crap like that.

MUH FANON/IMAGINARY BULLSHIT I BUILT FOR LITTLE GIRLS, et cetera. It's kinda weird, given how popular Kasen got.

The language/engine ZUN uses for Touhou is pretty interesting...

No, really. Stay away.

Yeah maybe in the next game ZUN will use mermaids and Dullahans and werewolves, wouldn't that be kinda funny.

I can't remember, but isn't it implied there are other places like Gensokyo, just for other lands and cultures?

There is not and probably never will be.

I wonder how far ZUN got into planning out Myouren, though.

Not to mention most of those looked pretty terrible, yeah.

Meiling's head in the HRTP game is loving enormous and the way she moves is loving creepy.

I like that EOSD-in-the-style-of-old-shooters thing, though.

She looks like she came from Umineko.

Not surprised, ZUN and the guy who does Umineko are friends.

I'm a slowpoke and finally caught up to Hopeless Masquerade. Nitori going from (not) shy helpful gadgeteer to racist, geedy dickhead. There's a libertarian joke in there, somewhere.

What was the deal behind DDC's translation? I remember reading about it being some crowd-sourced thing, or was that the HM translation?

I've started reading SSiB and America apparently had a moon base? :drat:

It's implied this was just the Lunarian government claiming that the Americans were more dangerous than they really were, but then again, it's Touhou canon and there is no such thing.
