HAPPY CHIRUNO DAY The hottest secondary containment thread is back once again to talk about fangames, fighting games, doujinshi, music, manga, books, and anything else that aren't the actual video games.
Thank you. I was thinking maybe the Diablo game would get me into all the other stuff too. I guess we'll see.
Andrew Barnes
The Genius of Sappheiros is probably best jRPG touhou too if you want to add more. Remember to get the "Weekend" version, unless you have a vita version, then you should buy it for japanese psn. Hahahaha, official English port never ever.
Aiden Wilson
What a coincidence. I just started playing Highly Responsive to Prayers last night after stumbling upon 1~5 on our Vola.

Happy Chiruno day indeed.

Anyone wanna play Age of Ethanols?
Ian Bailey
Makes me sad that Touhou lost steam, the fanbase is by far the best.
Jason White
UHH TANNE
Asher Rivera
I only have this big Cirno
Luis Flores
is this a remix? it sounds too high quality for pc-98
Kevin Butler
That's pretty close to how it actually sounds. The drums might be different or something
Jaxson Peterson
Who's that sheboon with vitiligo and why is she choking Daiyosen?
Justin Green
How do you do fellow /a/utists- Wait a minute!
Jonathan Bell
Deal with it.

Carter Baker
It's probably for the best. I don't want any more niggers or spics in this already sparse community.
Parker Morales
It's for the best, the less secondaries the better.
Cameron Smith
So has anyone here tried Labyrinth of Touhou? It's a nifty little dragon warriors clone.
Blake Howard
I really want to, but I can't find any English patches.
I still wonder to this day what the true cause of Touhou's decline was.
Christian Scott
zun got married
having bitches around always fucks up your creative endeavors
Aiden Morales
actually if you can sublimate the bitch's cocklust into working for your creative endeavors then it's okay to have one around
Jack Murphy
Part of it is, as in that cap, simply not having quite as much material to work with, which combined with the wife, alcoholism, and autism with regards to danmaku patterns, makes it surprising that a new game's even been announced.
Logan Perry
He also is helping with two or three different mangas set in Touhou, and those have different tones from each other and from the games. And now there is a huge cast and everyone wants to see their favorite characters return but most generally don't. I really think anons are right and he needs to take a vacation or do something not touhou related.
Jacob Gutierrez
What are those sprites from?
Eli Roberts
Less content made. Not good, secondaries will remain or increase as the content that brings them in still exists.
Zachary Jenkins
LOLK did everything right. Best music, best MC Reisen, Clownpiece, and the pointdevice lets you practice what you fucked up on. Heresy I know, redo the whole level scrub! Still the game itself made up for it by uping it to 11.
I don't think its declining, I think it just started changing its fanbase, which is both good and bad. Some of it probably has to do with Zun needing more dosh for is famuriee. With all the releases of all the doujin games on PSN, I wonder how much of a cut he gets.
I don't remember, I just got them because they looked cute.
Thomas Fisher
god dammit

Is this a possible return to the Hisouten/soku mechanics?

What is the huge fucking anime titties?

no sorry

It's alright, user. I appreciate it regardless I have seen that image many times with the same file name/caption. I've never truly understood what it means

Jose Johnson
HE HATES IT
Anthony Wilson
Sorry I found LoLK music forgettable, the characters the same, I liked MC Reisen, hated her gun, and didn't care about gameplay, in fact I hated clownpiece and didn't care about much else. No music came close to the pinnacle that was EoSD, best soundtrack by far. Even UFO had a tiny tiny commander, LoLK had nothing.
Nolan Parker
If you say so user. user please, you can't beat perfection.
Andrew Flores
is therre a more autistic thing from Japan than 2hu?
John Lee
your not even trying user. Dragon Ball easily
Benjamin Stewart
but 2hu has more fanmade autistic content than DB
Jayden Jenkins
What spectrum are you talking about user. completed functioning works, or random shit posts, quality or quantity. You still wrong ether way. Enjoy the link. :3
Austin Taylor
Made by japs or otherwise? With the amount of exposure DBZ has had, and the fact that its been around for so long makes me doubt 2hu could top it. Honestly, naruto is probably even more autistic. I mean shit, isn't sonic from japan too?
Angel King
CIRNO A CUTE INDEED!!
Isaiah Wood
On Pixiv, Dragon Ball has 58,061 results. Touhou has 1,885,394 results. There's an absolute shit-ton of doujinshi, and a lossless torrent of music remixes from several years ago was two terabytes. Then there's tons of fan games and fan anime. I can't think of any franchise that has as much fan content as Touhou.
David White

Hudson Edwards
Alright, so it has a lot of content. Now, how does this make it autistic?
Oliver Brooks
Autistic doesn't mean anything.
Jordan Bennett
god dammit, stop prolapsing faries
Samuel Roberts
Fairies are for tender love; not for prolapse.
Brayden Thompson
I love that artist.
Nicholas Brown
Character design, I'd wager. Take a look at Meiling. What's her stage theme? Shanghai Teahouse. What's her boss theme? Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17. I dunno what the fuck that second one is supposed to mean, but they both reference China and sound vaguely Chinese. What's her outfit? Derived from Chinese martial artist clothing. Her name is Chinese as fuck. She does Chinese martial arts. Her power is qi manipulation. Her EVERYTHING is Chinese as fuck. You don't even need a complete picture of her to understand what she's supposed to do and be about. Every single aspect of her gives off the same impression. Just from a stage theme, or a single image of her, or just hearing about what she does, you immediately grasp what she is and what she's supposed to be.
You can say the same for virtually every character in EoSD, from killer maid to magician to vampire. Every aspect of every part of everything associated with them is built around a single concept, each of which scream that concept at you loud enough you only need a small piece of the work put into them to understand what they are.
Now take a look at Nue.
What the fuck is this mess? She's got two sets of three things on her back, and to this day I'm not sure what they're supposed to be or represent. Half look mechanical, half look potentially biological. She's got a trident, something associated with either devils or Poseidon for the most part. Her outfit is a plain black dress with a red pattern on it, and she has a snake on her arm. Her theme is a retread of Flandre's theme, more than anything else. What the fuck is she supposed to be about? What does she do? What are her hobbies? How does she fit into Gensokyo?
I'm left asking those same questions for almost every character in th12 and beyond. Their designs are just a mess of irrelevant information. They don't tell you anything about the character, it's just a bunch of random shit. The characters who DO have a clear theme to them like Clownpiece are, completely unsurprisingly, super popular.
Fuck, Rumia wears a black dress because she has darkness powers. Her name might even be a pun off light. (Lumia). Nue is supposed to be a nue, but what about her design communicates that? LITERALLY NOTHING IN HER DESIGN INCORPORATES ANY OF THIS. THE SNAKE AROUND HER ARM IS THE CLOSEST THING TO EVEN SLIGHTLY MATCHING ANY ASPECT OF THE CREATURE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BASED ON.
Isaiah Wood
At least Nue's clusterfuck is a memorable clusterfuck, and Kogasa works well as a design. Does anybody even remember the characters in Ten Desires other than Mamizou? Because I sure as hell don't
Dominic Davis
Mamizou is easily one of the more forgettable characters of Ten Desires. Zun likes her enough to put her in more games, but she is still forgettable. If you want to hate on something, hate on Medicine, the lunarian rabbits, Not-Benben and Junko Reloaded.
Mason Brooks
Reisen II, Seiran, and Ringo did nothing wrong.
Justin Jackson
>Useless blue bunny Tewi is a better mochi murderer.
Adam Kelly
Characters original to Ten Desires? Nope. And this is exactly why I think character design is what killed touhou. There's no immediately identifiable character aspect about any of them.
You've got blue-colored chick with hairloops on the left, and a chick with insect antenna, a cape shaped like insect wings, and a nearby floating insect on the right. You don't need to know ANYTHING about Wriggle to understand she's fucking insect-themed. You could take away the floating bug and it would still be obvious.
Nooj's clusterfuck is also memorable due to how much a complete clusterfuck it is. It doesn't make Nooj anything other than completely fucking retarded though.
Jayden Richardson
Touhou is still very popular and doesn't live or die by the latest game.
Daniel Robinson
fuck it
quitting while i'm behind
Aiden Taylor
2hus are not for lewd.
Bentley Morales
I like nue, I think she's cute
I personally never got this. There are honestly very few characters in 2hu that I don't remember. Most of the taoists are very much ingrained in my mind. Seiga and doggo are easily among my favorites. Sure, there are alot that I forget (poor sagume), but most leave somewhat of an impact.
Jace Price
but dragonball is full of normalfags…
Anthony Edwards
shame
Camden Taylor
thic girl.
I like it
John Hernandez
Nue a sexy.
Kevin Morgan

Brayden Richardson
It wasn't perfect. Ignore the title theme, stage 1 and Lumia music are forgettable. Patchy's theme and Sakuyas stuff isn't great either, but everything else is great. It's not perfect, but even if it were I didn't say surpass, I said come close. IN didn't surpass it but it had lots of great music. SA had lots of stuff I don't care about, but still had great tracks like deserted hell, or okuus theme. But newer stuff is only mediocre, this comes after hearing tracks like UFO where I just think "oh it's a remix of the superior flan theme".
I think Zun needs a break and to find something inspiring. The earlier stuff was great because he was fresh, now he needs to recharge.
Ayden Wood
Touhou is hard.

Whatever pro drew this had a lapse in judgement.

I surprised that you didn't mentioned newhus. Guardian Dog, Butterfly, Twin dancers, Chinese statue and junko copy with skill to make doors everywhere.
Caleb Scott
Now 2 of the Sages of be revealed. I thought it would be funny if all the Sages looked like Yukari, but this is actually the third sage that has been revealed.
Luis Martinez
Yukari, Okina and Kasen? Did I get it right? There will be four more. I assume it will be some barriers master, two with temporal powers and god of Hakurei shrine.
Ryder Roberts
yes
Lucas Ross
I just beat the newhu very quickly on easy because I suck at 2hu. I didn't like the music very much this time.
Camden Hill
Post more Okina
Kevin Myers
You think so? I thought locked girl was a good song. I personally believe it and luna dial are severely underrated.
Sebastian Myers
So is this an example of good sprite work, or bad sprite work? I recall one thread where the sprites shouldn't look like drawings you "spritified".
Chase Torres

Xavier Morales
I am 100% willing to call it good, but a certain part of me is probably interfering with my ability to give an honest objective measure

you take that back

Oliver Morales
Don't you die on me
Ayden Ross
Is there a netplay patch for Gensokyo no Nazo? I wanna be able to play with a friend online.
This reminds me of when I had finally gotten to stage 6 in th6 and then windows 10 asked me if I wanted to update my computer, interrupting my game and costing me my last life. I deserve it for having win10
Dominic Watson
I once had my down key get stuck while I was on the extra stage in LOLK, I was able to save myself but I wasted a bomb. This was also the first time that I cleared that extra stage, with Marisa.
You mean moving on to th7 and having fun with that extra stage?
