New update is coming for JP. What's going to be added:

I actually finished chapter 4 at around 12am today, since I couldn't sleep (lol) Honestly, I find it pretty neat, I have a feeling we are approaching some sort of "end" tho, if that makes sense. I've always liked the story in TLW (ignore the middle of ch3 and beginning of interlude tho) Stages are pretty damn complicated tho, not gonna lie. I've read some theories that the main "source" of the Lost Word incident is Rin Satsuki, I doubt that is the case, but if it is, that'd be so fucking cool. I also got the idea that it may be Mima, but I doubt that as well. We'll see what happens.

Alrighty, I started chapter 4, finally. I'm on the 3rd cutscene, but so far, I like it. But I do admit, I am kind of a sucker for beachy things, so I guess I am kinda biased xd (CHADOSUKE!!!)

GUYS, HOLY SHIT, GREAT NEWS FOR ME!!! I FINALLY FUCKING GOT HER!! JESUS CHRIST I actually feel so dead yet so happy that I finally have her... Why, you may ask? Well..... I think that the exchange points counter gives an answer to that xd I'll probably spark for another Alice, to use in farming, hehe >:3 Also, if you find my ramblings about what I got annoying, please tell me. I post these just because I'm happy that I got someone I like, rather than to brag. PCB Ran is next, unfortunately, I probably won't get her. I'll most likely skip a few banners.

Thank you Isaac, I hope so too, her banner lasts till September iirc, so I do have time for her. And I'm glad you got Parsee! Even her costume! :D Also another edit: I just noticed, it turns out the "Connecting..." screen isn't so reliable anymore. Apparently the devs changed it so it shows up for every unit, regardless of if you have it already or no. Bullshit.

I rolled like 200 times on the Alice banner so far, my seal crystals went under the 1000 mark, nothing. No signs of her at all. I got baited several times by the loading screen. Edit: I wasted 600GC now, I got Tewi, Komachi and Mystia. I hate my life.

Huh? I get SCs when I clear a stage tho? Is this JP?

ALICE!! ALICEALCIELACELICELIADFKJHDFJAHFHA AAYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love how chapter 4 is gonna land at her banner date, I'll have more cubes for her!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR HER!! I NEED TO GET HER!!! AWAAAAA Also, as soon as I saw Parsee, I immediately thought of Isaac xd (<- Live Discord reaction for Alice banner)

Oh yeah lmfao I completely forgot the Interlude Finale came out, I was too busy farming these days so I played it a bit before going to bed and... it's nothing special really. It's very bleh.

I adore Celeste, Portal (both parts, but I prefer 2 more), and the Sonic games, with my favorite being Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic CD. With Sonic tho, it's mostly nostalgia, but it's still fun. I like Stardew Valley as well, I have around 100 hours on it.

Woaaa, Touhou 1 appreciation! I always like that. It sounds alright.

Ye, it's Hifuu Meiling, she's super cool! I think we can the Ema item anytime, because I remember reading somewhere that it's gonna be used in some future events as well. And I thought we were going to have festival friends as well.

I remember listening to the acoustic version of Necromantic, and while the soft vocals are.... mostly nice, I really despise the "verse"(?) part. By that I mean these parts: "Necromantic ri nante konoyo ni sou you ni habikoru dantei Necromantic datte romantikku taihai, nikutai, tende fuantei Woh-oh aitai yo I wanna see you die Woh-oh misetsukete I wanna see you die" and "Necromantic Kusari ochite sanzan muzan'na sugata ni na are Necromantic Soshite romantikku nandomonandomo nan-dome datte Wow-oh ikitai no?　I wanna see you die Wow-oh shi ni tai no？　I wanna see you die" Idk, it seems like she's trying to act more than to sing. Those parts are actually my favorite parts in the PV version, ironically, even though she sings those part the same way here as well. I guess Stack isn't for everyone.

Alrighty, here's the deal Load times are slower, audio is a bit fucked, and I see that they haven't fixed the bug where the characters aren't flying, so much for the new engine.. As far the prayers go, we have the tickets again for C3 Yukari. I got baited 4 times with the "Connecting..." screen. I got Kasen, Joon, and dupes of Ringo, Kosuzu, etc.. Also, I got E3 Meiling!! Which I'm very happy about. Still, the buggy "new" engine update will never not be funny to me.

New TLW update dropped and everything is so buggy LMFAOOOO What a fucking mess, the audio is fucked up, load times are slow (It took my app like 5 minutes to load the download files prompt), and in the Discord server I've seen soooo many complaints, this one being my favorite (MAJOR VOLUME WARNING): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/612722779980038165/1005024810641924156/video-output-249DB6C6-A0C2-47D0-83C1-D0C991BA386A.mov Sorry if you have to download that video, idk how to link it better. I'm still waiting for the game to finish download files that are worth 1GB btw, and then I'll see if my game is as fucked up lmao, can't wait

Awesome update as always Count! I remember you saying that you went sad that you "wasted" a year on writing these reviews and updates, but I honestly prefer reading your updates rather the ones on Gamepress. Anyways, time for me to share my opinions! Honestly, I adore how beach Reimu and Marisa look, they're adorable. Even though I don't buy costumes, I do hope those 2 become actual costumes, instead of units. As far as Epic Yukari goes, I am very much dissapointed. Even though she's a recolor, I honestly think that Blue Reimu is much better suited for that tier rather than beach Yukari. Yukari could've been a costume tbh. Also, is it just me, or is Rinnosuke's art a pun? It seems he's drinking cola, and the acronym for the print work he appeared in first is "CoLA", I hope that's intentional, because I kept laughing for 5 minutes because of that. I am kinda excited for new items, specifically for the Ema, I had no luck getting Iku and I really want her, so it seems nice! And I'm glad we're getting the Epic ritual tickets again, even though last time it was just a token generator for me. And it feels so weird seeing a new L1 unit, I'd say we haven't gotten one in a while, what was even the last L1? Misumaru? Anyways, I'll go back to my deep TLW slumber until comes to global. Zzz.

Yo yo, Dev Talk happened and there's so much shit it's unreal lmfao However, there's actually a lot of neat stuff this time, which is quite nice. I'll let Count write about it since I feel that he writes the best updates, and I am curious to hear about his opinion. Technically, TLW ALSO has Live2D animations, however, you have to unlock them lmfao (but thankfully, not with money, but rather with that Fantasy Rebirth thing). Still, they are a bit underwhelming imo. More have been added afaik, but no videos have surfaced to my knowledge.

Huh, peculiar, didn't know about that, I wonder why it got axed?

She DID get a banner, which is why I'm scared for global

Dude, where the fuck are the PC-98 characters? PC-98 Reimu and Marisa WERE in the story (Now I can't remember if it was Hifuu or the Main Story, but I know they were there somewhere), amd they did mention Yumeko, so where are the others??? I'd actually sell both of my kidneys for a playable Konngara. or any of the HRtP characters, I wonder how YuugenMagan would look like. Speaking of the devil, Alterisa came back with a rerun! So far, there banners are live: - Remilia Scarlet (L80) (Relic), new unit - UFes Meiling, new unit - Small Yuyuko (UFes), rerun - Alterisa (UFes), rerun - Patchouli (EoSD) (Fes), new unit (although her banner ends today, so idk if I should include her) - Suwako (MoF) (Fes), new unit - Koishi (SA) (Fes), new unit So, either retros of UFeses huh. I hope that the next retro won't be (spoilers)

MEILING APPRECIATION!!! JAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ok, back to the topic I hope I didn't misunderstand this topic I can't really get how people like Sakuya? Just, idk, she's a bit basic to me. Like yeah yeah time stopping is cool yadda yadda, but it's nothing really special yk? I may be a bit biased, not so sure. Is it because she's (probably) a DIO reference?

Ughhhh, I feel you so much, at this point it actually feels like torture when I play TLW. Every time I see that a new unit has been announced, that is either a Retro Fes or a UFes, I genuinely fucking die on the inside. I'll probably just rant from here on out so be warned. I sparked for EoSD Pache a few days ago. The only reason being that I have EoSD Marisa and PCB Alice (my beloved <3) and I wanted a Magic Trio with those 3, so I'm guessing that the "Collecting PNGs mania" caught up with me. A few days ago, I was at my best friends place, and in our Discord server, I set up a webhook that will show TLW updates in a seperate channel, for both global and JP updates. I kid you not, when I saw that they were gonna release UFes Meiling, I almost started crying, since we JUST finished trying to get EoSD Pache, and we DIDN'T get her (He doesn't play TLW, but he does get how prayers work and does know about Touhou from me because I won't shut up about it), It feels so bad because the rates are fucking attrocious, they release characters at the speed of fucking light, AND NOW (spoilers) I can't fucking do this anymore, I know that it probably isn't healthy that I get THIS mad over a stupid gacha game, but I feel like I'm gonna miss out on so many things if I DON'T get the 2 units I mentioned just now, especially since those 2 are my favorite Touhous of all time. Now I remembered the reason why I stopped playing this game. And fun fact, I stopped almost 2 months later, after the game released last year! I remember the last banner I saw before coming back was Alterisa. The only reason that I came back is because I saw pics of EoSD Rei and Mari, and they *genuinely* haunted me in my dreams, so one day I woke up after dreaming about TLW, and said "ok ill install it again", and now I'm back thinking about uninstalling it again lmao OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHH man, I'm pretty angry at this game, if you couldn't tell already lmao

It's Arcadia that's bad, Cave, as far as I know IS good (like I said, they made some pretty damn good bullet hells!). I do think it's going to be a bullet hell. https://kotaku.com/shootem-up-developer-cave-announces-a-totally-new-shoot-1847279777 Here's a Kotaku link from last year. Also, there are like 5 Touhou shumps on the Play store, and they're pretty damn nice! 2 of them, in fact, were my first exposure to Touhou's gameplay. If you want to check them out, here's a list (you can just search for Touhou to find them.): - The first one that I ever played was one app that had a (9) as an icon, I think it's called Baka STG or something like that. It has 7 bosses, 3 difficulties, but only 1 playable chara. - The second one is by the same dev as the first one, and it has the word 弾幕 (danmaku) with some other kanji as the icon (the background color is black), here, you have 5 bosses, 3 difficulties and 2 playable characters. - This one has Satori for the icon, and it's like a genuine Touhou game, it's not a boss rush like other games here. It has 3 characters (iirc?), and and extra stage even! (It also has Cirno flipping the bird huehuehaushduahsauifh) - Touhou Thousand Night Anamnesis, this one got released 2 years ago, so it's one of the more recent ones. It's a boss rush shmup featuring bosses from EoSD to HSiFS (PoFV is skipped tho, sorry Count...), and it has more than 5 characters, each with their own abilities and bombs! So it's definitely the best one so far. It also has an extra stage and a Phantasm stage. - This one is the most recent one I could find, Touhou Madouroku. It's like a fangame called Spell Card Collection, you choose a spell card and fight the boss. I know I went a bit off topic with this, but you should check these games out if you want a good Touhou experience on your phone!

It's very sad that these game shut down so quickly, I really do wish they got a proper global release. Yeah, Arcadia Record is made by a scummy company, as far as I've heard, but knowing my Touhou obsessed ass, I'll probably play it (Hell, I hate TLW yet I still play it bcuz, Touhou!!!) Speaking of mobile games, remember that Cave game that got announced like last year? Well, it's supposed to release this year! (In case you don't know who Cave is, it's a Japanese company which makes bullet hells, they're known for DoDonPachi) I do not know if this game will be a gacha game, but still good to know.

Sooo, here's some recent news on DanKagu... (lmfao) Honestly, I expected this, shame they never brought it over to the west tho (Why don't they do that immediately?)
