This game really is interesting but everything is so confusing about it especially the story, I feel like ZUN and the team just wanted to make a video game without paying extra attention to the story… the characters really looks cool but sadly, we never saw them again (expect Reimu and Mima) Btw Highly Responsive to Prayers had a lot of references/inspirations from other games and one of the most notable is Kiki Kaikai, I’m not gonna make a long list about the references to it because there is a lot of references to that game series

Aren’t those arts made by the same artist ? btw I think that’s because she is often associated with Papyrus from Undertale, he loves spaghetti (and claiming that he is the strongest)

Yup they seems to still be around and they are making Touhou-like games O_O Check it out !! https://amusement-makers.org/catalog.php?id=23 I need to play it in order to have an idea of what Touhou would be like if ZUN was still with them. I remember in an interview that he said he wanted to make a "darker" game or add a more serious tone to the Touhou franchise that’s why he decided to continue it on his own, but I can’t remember where I read that :(

Do you mean what if he has continued to work on Touhou with Amusment Makers ? It would end up just like Touhou Lost Word and we would often see the popular characters in each games. Maybe there would be DLC as well ? Or maybe he would have worked on Touhou games with a whole new concept of Danmaku where we would have to pay in order to unlock new abilities or shooting type Btw what I’m gonna say is kinda off topic but I feel like Flandre in Touhou 17.5 was kinda like fan service ? I mean she has nothing special to do with the incident -_- Or maybe I missed something in the scenario

Kutaka’s little nest on her head seems nice to me, she can carry a cute little chicken with her all day and it’s quite unique :P Remilia’s hat isn’t a sleeping gear, it’s a mobcap/bonnet and was worn anywhere, btw it’s not really old-fashioned because it was reintroduced in 2000s fashion thanks to the Lolita fashion

I guess we all have the same "incident" in mind rn… it just depicts perfectly what we all said in this topic -_-

The Waifu FAQ is written in a waaaay too much affirmative way, like, the guy conveys a feeling that he knows what he is talking about however it’s kinda bs First of all, the word "waifu" comes from the katakana transcription of the English word "wife" so basically, it has to be a girl, just, I precise that if it’s a guy it is called a "husbando" (= husband) Then, it refers to video game or anime (3D or 2D) characters however I would like to make a larger definition of it by saying that it refers to fictional characters from Japanese related content, so, for example, if the character comes from an American manga, then you can consider it as a waifu/hosbando because manga are from Japan. Otherwise if it’s from a cartoon (like Steven Universe or idk) it is traditionally just called a love interest, maybe now people would include it in the waifu/husbando category :/ Don’t take what I’m gonna say in consideration it’s just my personal point of view, you don’t need to have the Discord Mod starter pack to have a waifu, it’s in the mind so no need to have posters or anything, and it would’ve been better if instead of saying this « you’re not working towards a goal or anything, enjoy her and yourself », he have said something like « make sure to improve yourself so that you give a reason for your waifu to chose you over another guy ». A lot of persons are unhappy in real life even with 1000 waifu/hosbando (I’ll write it w/h to make it short) they are depressed and feel empty : fictional love will, sadly, never replace irl love, you don’t learn how to improve yourself with a w/h because they can’t give you advices and there’s more reason about it but I’m gonna keep it short ^-^ Tbh I don’t really understand what is really confusing you with the waifu concept : you simply feel better with those characters because they convey to you a feeling that makes you feel better or a feeling that you are missing, for example if you tenderness is really missing in your life then you’ll be more interested in sweet and softhearted waifu

I’m just gonna make it short because I don’t have enough time (and motivation) to develop my point but it seems that in this era it’s not only anime which can "corrupt" the perception of reality. It can also be cartoons, movies and models : so in short, every visual content. For example Jessica Rabbit, Kate (from Inner Workings), the Kardashians or Kate Upton

The new feature (vs Spirits) is quite exhausting… why can’t we just go directly on level 120 spirit battle ?! I’m not even at the half of it and I’m already tired of it :'(

I don’t understand why Touhou have a lot of NSFW content, I mean look at what they look like in the game, they all have child proportions and they aren’t drawn in a sexy way with sexy clothes I wonder wish one of the fetish you’ve listed is the most used or the most appreciated (I’m just curious)

Undertale vs Touhou in a nutshell : Everything started when Undertale became pretty popular in 2017, some Touhou fans noticed the Subterranean Animism (and not only) references Toby Fox has made in his game and so they claimed Undertale is copying Touhou 11 Then some other were mad because they noticed that Bad Apple and other famous MV were "stolen" by the Undertale fanbase (they were really considering it as stealing but tbh it was just some parodies) And finally, the video Sakuya vs Frisk(Chara) was born it’s an animation made by JzBoy and Sakuya : Undertale fans were angry and some debate about multiversal Frisk is stronger than Sakuya etc… To bring back the two communities together, JzBoy made the video Asriel vs Marisa ; Toby Fox admitted he likes Touhou and that’s it What you must know is that most of the fans at this moment were 12-15 years old so they were kinda immature :/

I just wanted to add that : it’s not because you don’t know everything about a franchise that you can’t be considered as a true fan of it. According to me a fan is also someone who enjoy discovering some new stuff or informations about a franchise they like, so it’s okay to not know everything of it since it always takes time to know and understand the franchise at 100% :3 So to sum up my point, showing an interest on Touhou story and characters because you love understanding/discovering stuff about the franchise makes you a (true) fan By the way I’m insisting on this point because, when I saw the "degradation of a fanbase" drawing I’ve just remembered about the existence of some cosplayers who pretend to be Touhou (or any other franchise) fans but don’t give a sh*t about the story and characters… can we call them bad fans anyway ???

As for me I also wish the most basic thing : I wish to succeed in my medical studies, I wish that my family and my friends will be happy and won’t have trouble or problems for this year, and finally, I would like to improve my drawing skill and my English I also wish you all that your dreams come true this year, or at least, that you will achieve something great this year
