Master ZUN has taken a break from drinking to post some screenshots for his next game. Screenshots of Reimu’s (nice) boat and some UFOs or something available at his blog: http://kourindou.exblog.jp/9703480/ Bad translation available here when I finish it.

    Worst name ever. Demo due out March 8th. Full version in the summer. And lookit the return to seperate power and bombs as well as a playable Sanae. God only knows what the UFO slots in the lower left are. Maybe it would be as painfully difficult as the last couple.

AkibaBlog spotted this huge plushie of Reimu from the Touhou Projects being displayed on the 5th floor Figure/Hobby section of Toranoana main shop in Akihabara. However, there is a lable that states: “The plushie is not for ...

I thought this was a very great episode to what looks to be a very fun series. Now, I know that there are a lot of fans of the source material for this, hell, enough that this anime seems to be made by fans, not some big company, which is pretty damn impressive for how [...]

Remember the Touhou Canned Drinks which I had reported on last month. They were previously selling for 4,500 yen. Now they are selling in a proper vending machine for only 150 yen!! Here’s a closer look ...

Another futile attempt for Touhou anime? I think not. Old post may be old, though. Well, I’ll be. Just when I said I wouldn’t do episodic blogging, lots of interesting stuff pop out. FuyuComi may not have that much riches, but at least it offered some pretty decent (or semi-decent) stuff. This is one of them. [...]

I am sure many of you have seen the competent Touhou Maikaze doujin anime, A Summer Day’s Dream, just released at Comiket less than two weeks ago. Now I have gotten chance to interview Talka, a member of the Maikaze doujin circle, on his group’s work, Touhou doujin, his thoughts on American Touhou/doujin game fandom, [...]

So I actually got down to watching it, aside from the fact Maizake’s booth was completely and utterly sold out by the time I got there at C75 :’( Since tokyo toshokan had about 7 different copies of the DVD floating around, I could surmise that: 1. The Japanese are really free 2. Touhou is like crack cocaine, [...]

Touhou - A Summer Day’s Dream Short Synopsis: Our lead character gets targeted by a mysterious thief. Chance of me Blogging: 10% (Very slim) First of all, since this is a series that’s purely created by amateurs, I must praise the creators for doing an actually pretty good job at it. The character art is a bit crude [...]

I’ll take pictures of my many-man-yen haul from c75 if I can figure out how to get pictures onto the computer I’m using while away from my normal laptop, but until then here are some neat things that I saw on one rss feed or another (actually, i think these were all from katoyuu): According to [...]

Even before Comiket 75 has ended, the Touhou Doujin Anime has already been subbed and uploaded onto youtube. Folks who want to catch it should grab the chance now, since there’s a good chance it would be taken off youtube pretty soon [...]

Ah yes, the oh-so-famous danmaku, Touhou, created by ZUN, has finally gotten an anime adaption, which was released at C75 by the circle Maikaze. Now, since it is coming from comiket, it is a doujin-anime. This does not take away from the fact that the cast is professional and is definitely a good start towards [...]

  Can I go back to doing something enjoyable now? Just watched this on Nico because… you know… I expect little. And boy did I get it. Impressions: To be positive, it looks better than Sound Holic’s attempt at making one of these from the last Winter Comiket. On the other hand, that one was almost three times [...]

Azure & Sands are putting out an unfortunately-named album of Touhou Christmas music at C75, a bargain at 100¥. You all make sure to get it so they can expand into other new kinds of doujin music (ska, sound horizon, j-rap, etc.) I was going to do a longer c75 post, but I can’t remember what [...]
