Raenir Salazar posted:Any Lunatic LP's of the Touhou games that don't skip the dialogue? I know its mostly fluff that barely characterizes anyone beyond one or two quirks for fanon to latch onto with their talons but c'mon, I figure there's gotta be something content wise to it to make it worth reading. All the dialogue is on the wiki (with the exception of the endings, which I would imagine the LPs cut out anyways).

HellCopter posted:I'm trying to buy IOSYS's new album (which they say can be shipped overseas) but I can't quite understand the instructions. Yeah, looks like you send them an e-mail to that "shop" address in the FAQ. As far as downloadable goes, I can't figure it out with stuff I can't access at work, so maybe someone else can translate that bit.

Samurai Sanders posted:I don't think Osaka Japanese even comes close to matching with anything in America, sociologically or historically. America overall is just too different from Japan in that area. The Excel Saga manga translation localized the one character who "spoke" (his dialog appeared as floating text rather than speech bubbles/actually talking) in an

Clarste posted:Cirno is pronounced something close to "cheer-no". It sounds vaguely Italian to me, but I don't know a word of Italian so take that with a grain of salt. I seem to recall that one of the earliest fanarts Dr. Sunshine did was of an Italian Cirno, so you might not be alone in that? Clarste posted:In short, while it's currently impossible to change the fandom's perception of her name, ultimately it comes from translators making stuff up. Related: The fact that everyone refers to Alice's PCB stage theme as "The Dollmaker of Bucuresti", because whoever first translated it couldn't be assed to put ブクレシュティ into English like the rest of the title instead of just transliterating the katakana and thus putting it into Romanian.

Trihugger posted:My childhood is falling into the land of fantasy. To be fair, the Super Scope has been dead for decades so it's not a big surprise it landed in Gensokyo. Did anyone else play the hell out of this insane Nintendo peripheral or were most of you actually sane during childhood? Battle Clash and Metal Combat were eye-bleedingly good. And by that I mean that your eyes would start bleeding if you played with this thing for too long. I would have played the hell out of it, but my Super Scope stopped functioning fairly soon after getting it.

Maximum Chenergy posted:So some people were talking about a new touhou fantasy kaleidoscope a while ago and weren't able to find it, I just stumbled across it on nicovideo. I don't remember if the first one had any voice acting but this one doesn't. It makes the sound effects feel kind of out of place. The first one didn't have voice acting by default. Someone redubbed it after the fact to provide their own voice acting. And, yeah, the lack of voice acting does make it a little weird.

Clarste posted:Oh. I sort of figured it would be annoying if I did that. Your input is noted. It would be appreciated purely because Comics by Release doesn't list it unless it's done by the Gaku-Touhou guys, apparently, so I never know when any of the official stuff gets translated (since I only ever check the Comics by Release list).

BlitzBlast posted:FLIPFLOPs A particular favorite of mine by FLIPFLOPs that I always like to call out is the "[Season] of the Residents of a Touhou Town" series, which are slightly AU slice-of-life stories that imagine Gensokyou as a big, Tokyo-like city. Unfortunately, the scanlating of "Autumn" was never completed, presumably because the translator didn't want to deal with mahjongg terminology. gnome7 posted:Then there's also the Finnish 4koma everyone in this thread reads religiously. Speaking of, in case people didn't just randomly check the link like I just did (and haven't been keeping up with it on their own like I haven't been), there's been three new comics since it was last mentioned in the thread. The Koakuma one is pretty amusing.

JackMackerel posted:I wonder how far ZUN got into planning out Myouren, though. He probably didn't have to do anything. He just said, "Her brother was Myouren", and at least a subset of the Japanese audience went, "Oh, okay, gotcha". Admittedly, I don't know how pervasive the stories about Myouren are, or if it's one of those things where "the Western student of Japanese culture knows more about Japanese culture than the Japanese do" (the Myouren picture-scrolls are apparently notable enough to have been covered in my "Art of Japan" class).

HGH posted:Nah, that's not what happened. IIRC, ZUN planned the final boss to be Myouren, then he went "Wait a second, an old man final boss? That's not right at all! I'll just make up a sister for him." and that's how we got Byakuren. I had known that but momentarily forgot to take it into account as far as "planning out Myouren" was concerned. I guess if he had originally considered that, he might have done a rough character design or something (or maybe not, since he was literally planning on putting an old man in there to mess with the fans, so he could have just put the historical character in).

When I had time to keep up with it, I read the official stuff and fanworks alike. I just haven't had time to read either recently.

Clarste posted:Is there any context to this or did they just randomly start posting pictures of anime characters? As far as I understand it, someone tweeted at them about something anime-related, thinking that they'd either give some BS answer or not understand, only to have them give a legitimate response to the tweet, which then led to other people tweeting anime stuff at them and eventually to photoshops of anime characters holding the granola bars. [EDIT] Here's the ANN article about it: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-04-30/start-your-day-off-right-with-some-granola-bar-social-media-fun VVVV Yeah, there's no guarantee that the person who is answering the tweets actually knows what they're talking about, but they apparently at least can come off as if they do.

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.

Daedalus1134 posted:Yeah, they flat out said it's coming out in English at 13:11. I know that's always been the assumption, but that's never actually been stated officially anywhere right? I had thought it was announced around the same time as the announcement about the games being carried on the Japanese Playism site, but maybe that was just conjecture when people noted that Playism publishes on Steam now.
