With the recent additions to the Touhou game series, are you having trouble thinking of Touhou as something cool, like me?
Touhou has always had it's casual, non-serious side to it with some silly moments/characters here and there with happy tea parties and manga stories about getting to the moon with a wooden rocket, but I feel that the potential for more serious interpretations (which I also highly enjoy) has taken several blows recently with the main games.
Touhou characters used to command respect and power with their intimidating spellcards and danmaku, but when put these new weak and/or ridiculous looking characters on the same level with the powerful youkai and other beings, I can't help but to feel that the logic of the Touhou hierarchy takes damage and is less viable for non-comical stories than before.
When I battled a nine tailed fox with her even more powerful master showing up after her, I felt like it was a challenge, a spectacular experience and an adventure with my main character facing off against legendary mythical beings. The challenge was justified and made sense lore wise!
But now I try to do the same in the recent games, my opposition consists of a bunch of weak rebels topped by a tiny inchling and some clowns dressed in cotton balls and American flags. It's just not the same. The challenge is there, but it's not because the opposition is powerful or intimidating, it's because the game is made that way and that breaks the immersion. There's just too many uncool characters that I can't get excited about, even if I try to.
It's autistic, not cool.
Just go outside and show people what Touhou is.They'll tell you that it's autistic.
My issue isn't with the character designs so much as the lack of coherence of the bosses from the past few games. From EoSD through UFO, the boss cast was mainly people from a particular group or physical space that has remained fairly consistent since then. TD seemed to start a trend of throwing bosses from all different directions, DDC seemed worse in this regard, and LoLK followed suit. Yeah, the story kinda justifies these selections, but it doesn't mean that it's gonna have the same feel as the older games.

They don't tell me it's autistic, they tell me it looks amazingly difficult and that they would never do well in that.
Most of the time they have trouble forming a concrete opinion of any kind, because they have no idea what to think of it outside the immediately obvious gameplay elements. They don't understand the dialog, they don't know Asian mythology, the characters look a bit weirdly drawn and the music is unlike anything they normally listen to.
They usually have fun after I make them play it by themselves, but even after that their impression of the game mostly consists of dodging bullets and lasers.
What do you guys think of Iris on Rainy Days?
I just finished reading it and I liked it a lot.
I own it but I haven't read it.

I liked it a lot.
The first chapter is a bit weak but it really picks up after that

Anal suppository
If the Lunarians are so ass mad that humans are walking on their turf and planting flags, imagine how mad they must be if they are in the Gundam universe.
There will be people having life and death danmaku wars out of nowhere, the moon will be used as a base to manufacture mobile suits, humans will soon develop psychic abilities that may very well pose a threat to the moon people, etc.
Now you jnow why they want to be kept a secret.
What a dumbass thread
Imagine how mad they must be if they are in the TTGL universe, where the moon is a Battleship?
Imagine how mad they must be if they are in the Zelda universe, where the moon is slowly about to crash into the planet?
Imagine how mad they must be if they are in the nursery rhyme universe, where a cow jumps over the capital over the time?
is this normal /jp/
It's normal to be bad at Touhou. Just keep trying.
That's pretty normal, yeah. Keep trying and you'll beat her for sure!
Make sure to pace yourself and don't give up!

I'm not bad at Touhou, but this fuckn spellcard ...
Long story short:
>Get stucked in Sapporo for 3 months.
>Got at last original version of best 2hu game.
Any hints on what to do in Sapporo or bout the localizations of touhou related shops /jp/?
>best 2hu game

Nice joke.
You also got the best music collection album.

Nice. I bought my copy at a con and got pretty heavily gouged.
Yukari is fraternizing with the shikigami's shikigami!

The ones that try to mimic Japanese humor, I think.

i like all non-egoist videos
>>14780627
It's pretty unfunny. The jokes aren't really thought out too well so it just feels hamfisted.
>>14780627
Oh i love these, apparently, they are actually a doujin circle, and this is a side work.
But the problem is, you say they "mimic", but they are actually made by Japanese, i think they might be westaboos or something.
New Bemani edition.
Descriptions of both.
I can't really tell what this (Otoiroha) is, but judging by that presumed input area, looks like Chunithm clone.
Which is fine with me because chunithm is amazing.

that one's nostalgia though, otoiroha is the reflec beat looking thing
Why so little love for the stylish girl?
Who?
>>14779866
You don't know the name of the 2hu who has a dress that literally has "ero" written on it?
What do people think of the Yama? She seems pretty important but you almost never hear people giving their thoughts on her. It's almost like she's just kind of there and forgotten among the crowd despite her standing.
Please make your opinions known in black and white, clear and concise.

I want to run my hands all over her legs and thighs while she moans and lectures me.
She's only been in two games, both of which are kind of outside the flow of the main series, and she probably has less appeal to doujin creators because she's not part of a larger group of characters, it's just her and Komachi. I've personally never liked her character design. Maybe it's fitting for her role, but not really my thing.
looks like a fuckin goober in official art
A step closer to making 2D real.

What are the essential Godzilla movies?
>>14776485
Just watch all of them. Then start watching Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Reminder that Tokusatsu is a /jp/ essential hobby to have and love.
>>14776485
Not the 2014 one, that's for sure. What a pile of misleading, generic and obnoxious bullshit.
