ZUN is just a huge paedophile and he can't help it.

The sultry one.

if you don't pick ZUN art over all others, then you have no right to be a Touhou fan.

Is there more original ZUN art like this? This was posted yesterday.

people who concentrate on Touhou because of it's difficulty are doing it wrong. Truth be told there are harder games in it's genre and there are games with better mechanics.

Touhou excels at the experience of playing the game, the beautiful bullet patterns, the thematic well timed music that fits both the games tone and the character they represent, the whole aesthetic of playing the game.

Basically ZUN made Touhou because at the time no other shoot'em up gave him what he craved for, so he made a series of games that did and refined it from there on.

I like other shmups for different reasons. Each one has their flavour. What brings me back to Touhou is that unique style and attention to detail put on the whole tone of the game.

all 'lol SSiB' aside, I think it's nice that ZUN does whatever the fuck he wants and doesn't pander to the fanbase with it as though he has to meet our needs, it's like one day he felt like he needed to illustrate a story he come up with and got hold of someone he gets along with to do it.

He doesn't even feel the need to be consistent about his characters. He just writes them however he likes at the time, Touhou isn't some serious series, right? No wonder the fans get annoyed sometimes, but really Touhou isn't for us, it's for ZUN. He doesn't it because it's fun, not because it's his job.

how can a programmer/game developer be lazy?

[x] ZUN's playground.

[x] Tea parties and magic duels.

Something occurred to me on the way home earlier.

The Touhou game series could possibly be considered to be one of the better examples of a game series being art. Now bare with me for a moment as I explain where my thoughts led me.

It is said that for something to be art it has to exist for nothing more then itself. To deliberately be made in whatever medium the artist desires to express certain emotions or ideals. It doesn't have to exactly look good, modern art has plenty of ugly pieces of work that exist to bring out certain emotions and nothing else.

To apply this to each of ZUN's games we have to keep in mind that he didn't program Touhou with us in mind, he designed his games based entirel on what he wanted out of a shooting game, his ideal certain fire shooter. He made it entirely for that purpose and then went on to show others to see if they would feel the same way. He has kept the series close to his art and done all the work himself, the art, the music, the programming, all ZUN to make what he wants to express without selling it out to be mass produced.

Granted, it can be argued it's not quite art. After all, it still serves the purpose of a game to many and doesn't stand alone on it's own to just be looked at and enjoyed, but I feel it comes closer then many. It's work a lone man put effort into not to make money, but because he wanted a game exactly to his specifications. Each further game follows his whims and desires. I'd say it's a pretty close example, laughingly poor pictures aside.

Picture related, it's ZUN's soul on paper. I for one think it's beautiful.

I used to think Marisa and Reimu were friends/lovers. This is entirely based off a really old picture I cannot find and am beginning to think does not exist, that reminded me of the EoSD title screen but Marisa is holding on to reimu.


I also used to like Zun's top page art and wonder if there's an archive/gallery of it since the pic page seems to be gone and it never really had the top pics anyway.

Done.

The PC98 game portraits were less detailed and more cartoonish, which is fine.
