You're on the same boat with me good sir. I do not know what Nier is either. All I know is the character 2B which looks very similar to Youmou. Might be worth checking out.

It's never late to join a party eh? Hmm, everyone has star war on their mind, I'm on the same page. The characters are really iconic and the writing is splendid. About Lord of the rings, I'm going to try it. Well, everyone complimenting this franchise and my interest only grow bigger. I'm not much of a movie guy but I'll know what's gold when I see it. Speaking of gold; Pirate of the Caribbean was best film I've ever seen. So it would seem. What drags me into the series is the music and the awesome characters. Johnny Depp really captured the character "Jack Sparrow" Wait it's Cap'n Jack Sparrow ya scarvy dog. Seriously, this one theme is absolute perfection. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - Soundtr 01 - Jack Sparrow - YouTube . Can't believe I sat through five whole films for just one character. That's was the day that I truly glad for choosing the film known as the day that I've almost miss a gold mine. Oh, yes! First few movies of Harry Porter are also pretty good. Game series: Team Fortress 2, Indeed even if I missed the orange box era, I truly enjoy this beast of a game; refusing to die even in the middle of chaos and crisis. Plus, the character are damm iconic that if they were real, they would win the Oscar every year. The sound track are memorable and the lore is pretty interesting. There's a lot of community made content just like Touhou. There are god tier SFMs out there. It truly fascinate me that two different series comes together a lot of time. TF2 & Touhou. Touhou Fortress 2 indeed. There's one shame and that's the devs and even Valve themselves stopped caring. One Shot, One of the best stories I've read and the game truly is unique and heavily underrated. Rhythm Heaven, It sits on the most nostalgic game of all time. Portal and Half Life series, Those are the classics. Back when Valve actually made games. Those series are old gems 110% recommendation from me. Yakuza Series, This is gold I say, the story is chef kiss. The thriller crime vibe is set perfectly. The combat feels satisfying. Witcher Series, You will not regret it. If you're into open world RPGs with story and mystical monsters and the one that hunt them. After all, There's a reason why this game ended up wining GoT in 2015! From Soft Games, If ya like hard games I mean really hard ones which are lore heavy. This is the one for you. Dark souls, Sekiro all of that good stuff. JRPG, RPG, Horror or all in one, Let's go back to the old days shall we? There's a lot of gold in the mine of itch.io RPG horrors?, JRPGs, or all at the same time? I'll assure ya, you'll enjoy everyone moment of it. Here is a channel that covers them up like AsperyFM ManlyBadassHero - YouTube My childhood hero.

Those're really good. Both Marisa and Meiling looks dazzling.

Outside Touhou, many of us might also have other series and franchises we enjoy. For me, the ones I have gone through over the years would be the following: 1) Star Wars Probably the first franchise I ever heard of. Despite not having watched it as a child, it still had an almost legendary status for me, and was a film series I really wanted to watch one day. From the few documentaries seen and some TV shows about sci-fi, I left with a quite confused image of what was going on the films, but things would soon change. Back in 2014, when I first heard a new film would be coming out, I was quite excited. At the time, I had no idea what the Sequel Trilogy would turn into, I was just happy to hear a new film would be released. Then, in anticipation to the release of The Force Awakens, TV channels started broadcasting every weekend all the six films up to that point, and so I got the chance to see everything (got to see them in chronological order, so there's that). Then the years have passed. I started reading more and more on the Wookiepedia, got quite an interest in the vehicles of the series (ever since a child I was completely fascinated by the whole AT-AT attack scene in the battle of Hoth). However, at the same time was also getting more and more exposed to all the faces of the fandom in itself too (especially to the so-called "Fandom Menace"), as this was the time when I actually started using the internet more frequently. In the end, by the time Episode IX, I started to feel a bit of boredom. I did not even watch the whole film, but already knew it has been quite a mess. Plus, at the time I was also discovering new series, but more on that later. Afterwards, the only things that kept my greatly diminished interest have been like the non-film products - The Mandalorian season I & II, The Clone Wars season 7 (they finally finished the animated series) and Bad Batch. What made it even better has been that I spent my time watching these with a fiend who was also into Star Wars (and film/series in general). I still like the aesthetic for the series, especially for Imperial warships and vehicles, and I am happy when an old design is re-canonized or created from scratch. I am also one of those weird fans who likes Dark Empire, and actually loves the visuals from the comic book adaptation. 2) The Lord of the Rings/anything written by Tolkien Probably on par with Star Wars in terms of seeing it as a legend before having the chance to watch/read it. My oldest memory about it is related to seeing The Two Towers film adaptation as a child, and since it got my curiosity. When The Hobbit films came out, I watched those, and did not have any problem with them. I enjoyed them for what they were, and never went for nitpicking. To be fair, at the time I still did not get to read the original books, and so my expectations were low. 6 or 7 years ago, I actually started reading the books. First, I read the Hobbit, then moved to LoTR. I do not think I have ever read 1500 pages as fast as I did with that book trilogy. despite feeling a bit weird at the beginning (the Hobbit felt quite a bit like a children's book, while LoTR shifts the tone quite a lot, yet it still have the "suddenly song" moment here and there), but after a while, I actually grew to love them. For quite a while, I was fascinated by the world-building, the characters and wars of Middle Earth. At the time I was also playing Medieval II Total War, so it came perfectly when I discovered the Third Age TW mod. Then, after a lot of years, did I get to actually watch the LoTR film adaptations by Peter Jackson. I could finally watch something I only remembered vaguely from my childhood, and in the end, I really liked the films. Even today, I am still coming back to this film trilogy from time to time. Nowadays, I guess I lost a bit of interest, but I still like the Tolkien universe quite a lot. Whenever I feel it, I am coming back to it to see why I enjoy it so much. I have heard all the rumors, discussions and controversy surrounding the upcoming Amazon series, but by now, I really don't care. I am not too interested to watch it anyway, so why even bother. 3) Warhammer 40,000 Even if for the past couple years it has become one of the main series I am interested in, I will probably get it shorter than expected. As I was starting to get more and more bored of Star Wars, especially after The Rise of Skywalker, I was looking for new series to get into. What got me into the grimdark future of the 41st millennium has actually been a little shitpost series called If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device. It was catchy, it was fun, and boi, did it make me curious to learn more about Warhammer. From there on, I have had an entire world pandemic and 2 months lockdown in 2020 to get even more down that rabbit hole. I would have liked to give tabletop a try, but things are ridiculously high even for basic models, so I do not think it would be so woth the investment. If there is a faction I like the most, it would be the Imperial Guard. I am just more interested in an army of human conscripts, but in masive numbers, and armed with a lot of very cool looking vehicles. Of there is a setting in the franchise I would say I am more fascinated by, that would be the 30K/Horus Heresy era. It just feels so archaic, a lost era filled with tons of cool designs and an interesting aesthetic (I really like the power armor models of that era, especially the Mark II and III), as well as the concept of a "space marine legion" instead of mere "chapters" as they are organized in the 41st millennium. 4) BattleTech/MechWarrior Probably the most recent addition to my collection of series I like. I am still in my fist couple of weeks of exploring it, but I got quite an excellent introduction through the TEX Talks BattleTech videos. I ended up from having a slight dislike for BT due to it being a rival to Warhammer (and a series I had no idea about - fear of the unknown, I guess) even if BattleTech is older than Warhammer by a few years, to something I am looking to learn more and more about. Anyway, if anyone wants to get a starting point, TEX is excellent. Easy to digest lore (even if videos are very long - it does not feel as if you spent almost 2 hours watching), a lot of humour, and ending skits are always a gold mine. The series in itself has quite an interesting aesthetic, with some sort of retro futuristic stuff going it - it really does look like a series that came out in the 1980s. For the introductory videos (also adding the Battle of Tukayyid because ALWAYS REMEMBER that a telecom company managed to beat an entire force of warrior caste fighters armed with superior tech and stronger warriors) And some of the extra, entertainment stuff. It is gunny how many of these skits are made as if they were in-universe commercials or shows that would actually be broadcasted

"The Stack phase"? I think I might be in that since November 2020. Akatsuki Records is probably one of the first doujin music groups I have found once I started falling down the Touhou rabbit whole, just short after RichaadEB, IOSYS, Shibayan Records and Shinra-Bansho. Ever since, I don't think I got out of this phase, if it is indeed just that. She sure is. Nice collection. There's quite a lot to enjoy from the group, and even if they might not be everyone's cup of tea, I still think there's something anyone could enjoy. The history of the group is something interesting, even of I still need to understand it. All I know is that it can be split between "before 2017" and "after 2017", with how things moved from ACTRock to Akatsuki Records, the Stack Bros taking over and how we got to the current shape of the group. I am still quite a bit confused. Anyway, this entire talk started with a thread on r/touhou (like most of the initial threads I have started since moving to Moriya), which gained a bit of attention at the moment of posting

Time is short today, so I have to get this in when I can. Also, reviewing earlier posts reminding me of alternative post formatting options. Oshio Hakumu - Swordsman of a Distant Star Possibly my favorite TH1 themes, though remixes rarely do it justice. This piece, though labeled as dubstep, has a restraint to it that creates a surreal tone; this compliments the pizzicato lead instrument, keeping the melody distinct. Violet Delta - Reconciliation Violet Delta hosted an album project for multiple remixes of this track, but this is my favorite. Hard to go wrong with VD synthwave. Northwich Committee of Magic Researches - Shrine of Tempest The forgotten track, replaced by the infamous Theme of Eastern Story in the Untouched Scores. This remix features heavy percussion reminiscent of the Oriental style, and I think it manages to balance out (perhaps a bit chaotic in the last third).

Nice to see your other interests. I'm currently checking out the Lord of the Rings films for the first time, so I can’t wait to see the iconic moments that people mention. I feel the same way about Star Wars too. I liked the story that the first six episodes told and the story already seemed wrapped up. That's why I couldn't get into the sequels at all. Video games: My favourite game is actually Mario 64. I'm biased towards it for nostalgic reasons but I think the game has done well too. I always check out speedrun or people doing challenges for the game and it always cool whenever something new is discovered after all these years. It might not be perfect, but it means a lot to me! For others, I'm huge fan of the Souls games. There is so much to love, especially with the music and the story. Some of the bosses are amazing too. I need to try Elden Eing as soon as possible. Resident Evil is another franchise I'm a fan of. I love the classic fixed camera style of the earlier games and having to manage your inventory as much as possible. I loved some of the 3rd person ones too, especially Resident Evil 4. I want check out the Silent Hill at some point as well! Nier and Persona mean a lot me too. They are both my favourite jrpg's and both franchises have amazing music, great characters and are fun to talk about. I want to try more jrpg's like the Tales series or any games you guys recommend!

I still use a flip-phone, too. ...why is everyone looking at me like that?
