ZUN might have gotten technically better at drawing, but EoSD Reimu is still one of my favorites. I love the shading and coloring on her, and her poses are expressive and well done. I don't really like the "plastic-y" kind of look with flatter colors that's come from his recent digital art. LoLK looked pretty off.

I love HSiFS Reimu though. Probably my favorite after EoSD.

Some combination of all of them, but also none of them. We've never had a Touhou work from Reimu's viewpoint (the games are 3rd person omniscient) so we don't know what she's thinking, and she changes slightly based on who's point of view we're seeing her from. WaHH is from Kasen's point of view so Reimu is kind of an unreliable retard, while FS is from Kosuzu's point of view so Reimu is very reliable and her protector.

Honestly Sangetsusei is probably closest to what I think Reimu really is. Brash, quick to anger, invested in things that can benefit her, but generally kind and looks after her friends. The fairies exemplify this well, she gets annoyed by them but lets them be for the most part, wants to kind of mother them, and wishes they would just ask to join the parties normally and hang out.

Fuck that!

I much prefer the rougher porcelain doll-looking style with this coloring and shading in his older characters than the plastic-looking stuff we've been getting lately. HSiFS is at least better than LOLK in that respect. EoSD Reimu is probably my favorite Reimu, although HSiFS's Reimu is pretty good.

in b4 Sakuya face I genuinely think it's cute

EoSD Reimu is my favorite Reimu.

I prefer the rougher look of his earlier games than to his more recent stuff like LOLK to be honest. His more recent stuff feels more flat, I don't know whether it's because of the way he colors them now or what.

EoSD Reimu will always be my favorite. She's really adorable.

UFO is my least favorite. I don't like the UFO system, the cast other than Kogasa, nor most of its soundtrack (Stage 4 is fantastic though). It's not a bad game, I don't think any of the mainline Windows games are, just different and not for me. I know some people who love it.

I love EoSD's art actually. The way he drew Reimu is incredibly charming, as is Sakuya's goofy face.

This seems like a thinly veiled "call games 'overrated' and 'shit'" thread though.

Seeing the pictures chosen for the reviews reminds me that Reimu's EoSD portraits are still my favorite for her. ZUN's art was technically rougher but there's a charm to it, the characters don't really seem as expressive anymore. Especially now that there aren't different poses for the playable characters, they're just the same picture posted with varying degrees of smug. The characters didn't pose much before, but the little they did went a long way.
