On the topic of anime, this season lacks a lot of something. Fall usually bring something good. While Summer was usually the weakest in term of offer. Summer 09 had Bakemonogatari, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Umineko. Fall? Not so much. With the exception of Darker than Black, IF you liked the first.
It’s Touhou 12.3. Demo or what’s not should be out by august 15th. Three characters, two new and one returner will be added. Now my main concern is whatever they fix the wrongs of Hisouten or not.
This is my new timesink. Use the left and right arrow keys to lead Tenshi’s perpetual hop, and hope to crash in a blazing glory for the greatest pleasure of our favorite masochist. You may want to use the ability to switch to the other side of the game screen to reach platforms that appears impossible to reach. The cloud stage and the UFOs stages were difficult to me. However, I heard from Tempest from Asuki that it does get worse, he did 40k km after all. So, hopefully you will do better than me.
New Touhou in progress. Who in pooshlmer said ZUN gonna leave Touhou 4eva?
Among the good news, Sanae is a Good Girl playable and bombs as we knew them from EoSD ARE BACK.
Yeah, and Sanae is a good girl. Apparently we are having three playable characters. I somehow wished for Sakuya to be in, if not for matching the top 4 of the Touhou 6th Saimoe. But having the Wind Priestess joining the gang is a BIG recognition. I guess the effort of doujin artists have paid.
Not if only she joins Scarlet Weather Rhapsody in a patch…
The announcement of the release of the doujin anime by Maikaze have not gone without a word from ZUN himself.
There are a translation in Sankaku Complex. However, its translation set a different tone that could be taken wrong; in my point of view, it is a case of “Tradutore Traditore” or “Lost in Translation”. The reactions as you have guessed matched the tone of Sankaku’s translation, defensive or extreme.
Other than the lame pun in the article, here is the Source.
This is the kind of news that pulls me out of the DC Washington Wasteland, yet leaves me with mixed impressions. Maikaze, a doujin studio known for these videos, have apparently brought their announced project to completion.
This was drawn by a fanartist some weeks ago. Yes, be very afraid by how accurate it was.
They even announced the following voice cast:
Hakurei Reimu – Nakahara Mai (Mai Tokiha (HAX SIGN BURN EVERYTHING), Ryuugu Rena (Scary Yandere), Nagisa Furukawa (Dango Girl))
Kirisame Marisa – Sawashiro Miyuki (Shinku from Rozen Maiden)
Shameimaru Aya – Fujimura Ayumi (Ayano who always get her skirt blown in Kaze no Stigma)
Patchouli Knowledge – Takahashi Mikako (Caro from Nanoha StrikerS)
Izayoi Sakuya – Tanaka Rie (Suigin Tou, Maria (Paddo Ja Nai!))
Remilia Scarlet – Tsuji Ayumi (Guchuko from Potemayo)
Ibuki Suika – Toyosaki Aki (The green haired female lead from Umisho)
Hong Meirin – ???
Narration – Inoue Kikuko (Do I need to say more?)
If you guys have o effing idea of how they sounds like, here is a nicovideo link.
I like this voice cast better than the one from the video I posted some months ago.
Now that I think about it, the biggest unknown about this project is the genre. Will it be a slice-of-life like flip-flop? Badass action like Tohonifun? A mix of both? Trailers seems to point to the mixed genre option?
All the western fans needs now is to wait and see. C75 seems to be so far.
