No, not really. Just a preview for a fan anime, though a very well done one at that. I’ll be very interested if they get anything more than this done. And, please, drop the KOTOKO. There are some places she works, and some places she doesn’t. This is one of the latter. The group who’s [...]

…wait. There isn’t any “fun” in “Touhou” to begin with. Which is soberingly true, but besides the point. I put my brand-new, 120GB Seagate 2.5″ external to good use today by bringing it over to the house of J, a close friend of mine, and passing him two seasons of Honey & Clover, Code Geass, [...]

Finally, it’s here! A glimpse at the newest Touhou game, Mountain of Faith. If the demo is anything to go by, than MoF will defintely be different than its predecessors. Several things have changed in MoF, especially the power ups and bombs. This has to do with the introduction of options. Options are just little things [...]

Through the combined powers of WWWJDIC, Google Translate, rikaichan, and limited Japanese syntax knowledge, I summon you, makeshift translation! ZUN updated his blog again with three more screenshots of Touhou 10, and substantial news regarding the demo (or what I can make of it). I assume no responsibility for any misunderstandings or rumours that might stem [...]

Via Moon Phase: publishing house Ichijinsha has put up a special Touhou feature page today with details on three new media projects in the works, all produced with the cooperation of the multi-talented Zun. The first is a manga that will appear in Comic Rex, the second is a (light?) novel that will appear in Chara Mel, and the third is a four-panel manga that will appear in Manga 4-Koma Kings Palette. All three will debut in June, and according to Zepy's coverage are part of the same story, dubbed Touhou Bougetsushou. Given these new items in addition to the manga already running in Comp Ace an eventual Touhou anime is seeming even more inevitable, though given Zun's (rumored) quixotic temperament it may be that he's the one holding things up. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to produce, direct, score, draw keyframes, and voice act the whole thing... (no more)

Pure epic win. Also pretty nicely animated. Deepens my wish for a Touhou anime someday. And lol at Alice the pedophiliac stalker.

I'm pretty certain most, if not all, of you have heard of at least one of those things up there. If you haven't seen any of the movies on YouTube…I pity you. Cause you're seriously missing out on some pretty kickass stuff. Ah…How I wish these were real games. Maybe someday…someday…They'll be made in Japan [...]

I know I really shouldn’t be doing this but Touhou just ate pretty much this whole day away. I tried all the emulator games and downloaded the first non emu touhou game.. think its game 6? Anyway its called The Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. I must say this reminds me a lot of the arcade [...]

Sorry about the complete lack of posts. I haven’t been watching anime as much as I normally do. I guess I either overloaded myself, or there’s just too little series I’m interested in. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t thoroughly enjoy Kanon, it’s the only series right now I’m actually into. But in any case, I’m [...]
