Did anyone here play this obscure Japanese arcade game that eventually got ported to the 360? What were your impressions if you did?
I'm a big fan of the soundtracks and artwork that accompany the Senko No Ronde games.

I briefly owned the JP 360 version.
As a shmup fan who doesn't play fighting games, I hated it. I was expecting a game that was all boss fights, kind of like a shmup version of Shadow of the Colossus. Instead, it feels like a fancy version of pong.

You should see to it that you import DUO to spread awareness; plus, it's supposed to be faster than the first.

Do you like any head-to-head games? This game's visual overload is an absolute joy to see on a screen and Watanabe has mastered making space music.
What would you do at this moment?
Tell UDK about the new ramen place that opened recently.

Tenshi appreciation thread

“Tenshi Eating a Corndog” is a much discussed concept on /jp/. The significance of it is disputed, so I will focus on one core concept: the symbolism behind it. But first we must identify and explore the key components of it.
Hinanawi Tenshi is a human child that has ascended to become a celestial being. In Hinduism, she would be called a Siddha or a Deva. In Chinese, it would be refered to as a Tian Xian, or heavenly immortal. In Japanese, it would be using the same kanji characters as in Chinese, being called a Tennin. She is also refered to as an angel, although the role of a heavenly messenger is better suited to her companion Nagae Iku. Regardless of which Oriental cosmology she claims the greatest influence from, Hinanawi Tenshi in Touhou: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is presented as a roving celestial being that decides to cause mayhem out of childish boredom.
A corndog on the other hand is simply a sausage coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter on a stick. It is considered a quintessential part of the American diet, being a cheap combination between convenience and an arguably delicious meal of protein and carbohydrates. It is not a new concept by any means, but it is something that is also unmistakably modern and mundane.
Thus this is why “Tenshi Eating a Corndog” is so intriguing. Why exactly is a celestial being consuming a corndog, despite having access to the Jade Wine Waterfalls and Immortal Peach Orchards of Heaven? The earthly and celestial is contrasted in an outstanding way.
Take a look at the blue sky in the background and the color of her hair. In the Swami Vivekananda, the concept of infinity is considered blue. Take the air and water, for within the space of our hands, it is colorless, but in a vast quantity it is blue. Tenshi is shown to represent infinity, as she to is of the sky. As to the corndog to her, the Route 66 sign is to the sky. What of the tiny stretch of road to the vastness of the heavens? But without that land, the heavens would not be.
So as it is, you see the Heavenly consume the Earthly. Not out of pleasure, as we can see from her expression, but of necessity to understand the realm she observes from up high. But we see it as something of joy, for we too know that the divine are as of us. This is perhaps a commentary of the immaturity of Tenshi Hinanwi, who still has a physical body unlike truly enlightened beings. But it could also be a commentary of the unwilligness of humans to see gods (at least the important ones) as anything but in their image and why the gods so often take human form. This is represented even in the game afterwards, Hisoutensoku (Unpercieving of Natural Law). Unlike its predecessor, Gakutensoku (Learning of Natural Law), Hisoutensoku is considered blind to it, as it from a land without logic. In the utter contrast of “Tenshi Eating a Corndog”, we see through the eyes of Hisoutensoku.
This is the true symbolism behind “Tenshi Eating a Corndog”: That our perception is constrained by the laws that invisibly govern over us. Pierce the veil of illusion, and see why the mustard intertwines with the ketchup.

Reimu and Marisa are finding out there's funny and interesting stuff in the outside world.
Seriously, any info on this issue? Is it unusual to have Touhou on a Playstation general magazine?
Looks like it includes an "Original mini album" from Buta Otome, Digital Wing and Diao ye zong.

Do you think these girls volunteered to be in that mv or they were picked randomly? The link is not obvious for some of them.

They picked the oldest girls from each group.
EZ PZ!
Where can I get it?
honto or amazon for one
I don't know too much about physical stores, and which is best, but I hear about honto a lot.
As an ebook, you can use bookwalker or ebookjapan.
Amazon.co.jp ships books worldwide

Hecatia's full article in AFiEU isn't THAT political, but anyway in it she mentions that basically Eiki's speculation that she was treating Clappy nice by letting her stay in Gensokyo was spot on. However, she admits that there's more to Clownpiece being there than a reward for a job well done.
What do you think that is? I don't know this weirdo's plots.

Any day now.
I grew out of anime and hentai 10 years ago.
Why is otaku culture more famous among males rather than females? Why is it a "nerdy" thing rather than a NORP/mainstream thing?
I just asked myself this because, when you think of it, otaku culture is pretty girly. Idolmaster is girly. Vocaloids are girly. Anime and manga are girly (specially SoL and moe). Most otaku merch is girly (figures are like dolls, and then there are those fluffy body pillows we call dakimakura). Kizuna AI is girly. I could go on and on. Almost all aspects of otaku culture are very girly, except a few like, say, H-games.
That being said, the question is why is it that otaku media is practically impopular with females, and instead is consumed mostly by males? And why did otaku media end up as a nerd thing rather than a mainstream thing?
I think it might have to do with the way it spread to the Western world, you used to have to go to one of those video rental stores in order to watch "classical" anime, it wasn't very accessible at the time and only people who were really into it could get their hands on it, then the stereotype of liking anime equals being a nerd stickied around, I see this as the only possible explanation but it feels like it's just a bad excuse and wanted to ask /jp/ what you think about this subject, on the origins and explanations of the phenomenon at hand.
Keep in mind I'm not saying it's good or bad to be mainstream or nerdy, to be manly or girly, etc., and by nerd and nerdy obviously I'm not being literal, it's just a way of wording the idea, this is an impartial thread in such subjective matters.
>>16793262
Because many females follow what is popular, not necessarily what is actually girly--it's a social trope tied to their obsessions with social status. It happens that most things that they like is girly, since both being tied to them and boosting their feminine appeal are good for building social relationships and for attracting a stalwart alpha male. Most of the girls that are into anime are the outcasts--you know, the ones that have personalities and such that are just like their male counterparts. In most fashion circles, liking anything weird or too far from the norm is a social death sentence. Since anime is typically perceived as such, the effect is strengthened by the group/clique/etc.'s own attribution to it.
There isn't much of any rhyme or reason to what these kinds of people think, other than that these kinds of people need something to look down on in order to make themselves feel like they're better than other people and that. And that's exactly what it is.
Most otaku are most likely female, they drive the industry, are primary cosplayers, and probably produce the majority of doujin works that aren't just random images.
half of american anime convention goers are women
half of japanese comiket goers are women
these are, however, social activities
the kinds of people who lock themselves in their room to watch over 500 anime are isolating themselves and isolation is primarily a male thing, but since we're all the kinds of people who lock themselves in their room there's basically nothing but males around
Hmm it seem like not as many people are hype about it or care for it anymore
