/jp/ - Otaku Culture

That's not a bad cosplay. I saved it.

I don't know if that's good or bad.

>>1714013
Asians = autofail

>>1714018
If western touhou cosplay coincides with western touhou fandom, bad.

Also this Marisa is great.

oh snap

>>1714019
Using fail = autofag

>>1714030
Sorry,but I couldn't think of another word to describe it.

>>>/cgl/1457749

Fuck year, Mansuika

Why? A lot of it is pretty good.

>>1714022

In after 'it's popular, now it sucks'.

>>1714043
Now you can't say it isn't flat

>>1714009

Oh shi-

Where is Remilia when you need her.

>>1714064

He/She refuses to camwhore out and let us see his/her gender. Mild respect there (as much as a tripfag can get), but after all this time, I'd kind of like to know.

>>1714064
Hi

Fuck yeah, Touhou is popular, you fagets, how do you like that?

>>1714077
You're a dumbfuck, congratulations.

I RAGE when I see Touhou related avatars and banners on horrid anime sites, donned by the writhing masses of western underage B& society. It makes me sick to see Touhou so mainstream, and I swear each month it becomes moreso.

Now I'm going to have to find something else nobody knows about to be a fan of.

>>1714077
But Remilia is a man, so yeah.

Nobody wants to cam that.

>>1714097

I'm fine with it.

The bigger the fanbase, the more likely we can get some of them to transfer over to other shootan games. And if that happens, maybe they'll actually be sent over here instead of being just 'lolJapan'ed.

>>1714100
Your posts.

>>1714100

Stick your dick in a pencil sharpener.

I've never met anyone who's a fan of that.

>>1714105
Why would you ever want a crappy Amerikkan Touhou game?

>>1714077

I don't care to be honest they contributed to my Remilia folder over the months.

>>1714110

Well, now partly because it would be hilarious to see you rage.

But otherwise because video games are my hobby and I enjoy having a community to enjoy it with.

Doesn't mean I'm all 'LOL I ONLY PLAY POPULAR THINGS' but I don't think popularity is a bad thing.

Only giant faggots think popularity is a bad thing.

Oh wait.

TOUHOU GETTING POPULAR = ANIME FUCK YEAR

I fail to see the problem with Touhou becoming more popular.

Then again, I'm not a giant faggot who hates everything popular or judges a series based on its fans.

Final Fantasy 0wns

>>1714110
The only one who makes Touhou is ZUN. And ZUN doesn't live in Amerikka. Thus "Amerikkan Touhou" does not compute.

Did you get all of that, fag?

>>1714120
I just happen to be a jaded femanon that has a deep dislike for being in the same fanbase with people who spout stuff like "KAWAII desu ne ^___^" and typically bring their discussions to places like Anime Suki and Gaia Online. Mainstream Touhou means it becomes susceptible to the same kind of tainting anything that becomes popular in the West goes through.

Deviantart, Furries everywhere, etc.

Of course, it doesn't help that TH has enough of that kind of bullshit from its Japanese fanbase already.

>>1714134

>femanon

You're neither female or anonymous.

>>1714138
In my rage I seem to have forgot to remove my tripcode, so sorry.

>>1714134
>femanon

oh u

>>1714134
Yeah well keep in mind CIRNO SO BAKA XD comments on youtube aren't necessarily any better than ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>>1714146
Maybe you should read an entire post before replying to it?

>>1714150
I saw the bottom line yes, my point is that including that line made the rest of the post pointless.

You can keep your trip, by the way.

>>1714134
>I just happen to be a jaded femanon

Laugh every time.

>>1714143
Apparently I do not meet your expectations of what someone of my gender should act like on the internet? Should I be camwhoring and being a general cardboard cut out?

No matter, my outlook on this has nothing to do with my gender. I should've known better than to drop the fact, because it really doesn't matter here.

All that does is that I personally believe popularized western Touhou is a bad bad BAD thing.

>>1714134

SECRET CLUB MODE ACTIVATE!

...
You're not any better than them, you know, no matter how much you deny it.

>>1714134
^_^

>>1714146

This reminds me. From looking through 2ch, a lot of Japanese seem irritated with NicoNico, particularly with the wwwwww comments. Its just getting overused.

Also if anyone here is actually proficient in Japanese I would appreciate getting an idea of the Touhou situation in Japan right now. I know a Touhou only board got established in futaba just 2 days ago. But theres also this anti vs touhou thing going on in the text only boards.

>>1714164
Nobody discloses anything personal on the internet unless they're trying to draw attention to it.

That's just the fact of it.

>>1714019
non-asian = autofail

>>1714166
A benign tumor is far better than full blown cancer.

I was thinking of starting a rally to get Touhou in that new contest they're doing at GameFAQs, then I realized how much I hated GameFAQs and how I didn't want that to happen at all.

>>1714164
Actually, you are acting just like I'd expect a woman to. First you use your gender as a means to draw attention to yourself, and then when people call you out on it, you deny it and cry about discrimination. Jeez, and you wonder why we never take "femanons" seriously

You are either in the "Have fun with Touhou and sometimes be silly" or the "serious buziness all the time" group.

>>1714177
If I didn't want some degree of attention, I wouldn't have gone and donned a tripcode, would I? I'm sure you can at least relate to that, being one yourself.

But I digress, it still has no effect on my personal opinions.

>>1714183

Burrrrrrrn.

>>1714183
Well said.

>>1714188
underaged b&

Stop being faggots.

>I wouldn't have gone and donned a tripcode, would I?
>In my rage I seem to have forgot to remove my tripcode, so sorry.

>>1714193
No, but it does have an effect on whether anyone gives any thought to what you post or not.

And there's also the fact that few people will believe you, and those that do believe you're a woman will, like >>1714183 pointed out, just consider you a bitch.

And not un-rightly so.

>>1714134

Honestly, what do you expect? There's shit tons of art out there for it, tons of KAWAII DASU flashes and shit for it on youtube. It's just like Hetalia or whatever, except with girls.

It was going to happen eventually. I understand that you don't want weeaboos all up in your shit, but it's happening and there's no way to stop it.

>>1714220
The tripcode has nothing to do with anything! At least not in this particular situation, because I didn't mean to post under it. Now that we're here however, can we get back on topic? Or is that too much to ask from /jp/?

Let me give this a shot. What good would come from mainstream Touhou? Seriously?

Just report this thread and move on.

>>1714164

No, I simply meant that most women I know on the internet are men.

I do know some actual women on the internet, but I don't think you are one.

Exhibit 1: Posting on 4chan.

>>1714183
If a woman is acting like you'd expect a woman to act, what's the problem? I'd be more concerned with "femanons" like Remilia when it comes to acting like a woman. I mean come on, anyone can have an attraction to ripe, full asses.

>>1714233
Report the fucking idol threads first. Jones left us with great wisdom.

>The tripcode has nothing to do with anything!
>Two prior posts about tripcodes

>>1714230
>I didn't mean to post under it
And yet you're still posting under it. Hmmm

>>1714223
I don't mind being known as a bitch if it gets my point across.

>>1714238
I'm sorry, did I miss the "No Girls Allowed" sign on the way in?

>>1714230

An anime. More games. Better sales means ZUN has more resources for more games and more copies.

>>1714245
Damage is already done, anon. I don't even care about what you all think of me now.

As I was saying...

>What good would come from mainstream Touhou? Seriously?

>>1714244
> I don't mind being known as a bitch if it gets my point across.
But your gender had nothing to do with the point you were trying to get across. Just stop, you're making yourself look even worse every time you post.

Remilia said she'd have a go on my penis if I cut my balls off.

>>1714249
>Better sales means ZUN has more resources for more beer and even more beer.

>Damage is already done, anon. I don't even care about what you all think of me now.

>>1714244
>it gets my point across.
It doesn't

>>1714249
ZUN already said he didn't want a TH anime, didn't he?

>>1714230
A Touhou anime. Acceptance from our peers. Masking of power levels coming to an end.

MY GOD, IT'S SO TERRIBLE!

>>1714252
>Damage is already done, anon. I don't even care about what you all think of me now.
I see why you would want us to think that, but it is contradicted by your constant attempts to defend yourself.

>>1714097
Damn man, it makes me sad : /

Touhou getting popular is comparable to Europe being over run by Islam and niggers/sand niggers.
I can only watch how things I love are being infected by disease that cannot be cured.

>>1714267
We're his fans and WE fucking want it, and we'll get what we want if we keep asking.

>>1714244

No, but anyone who's posted on 4chan for very long knows that the fastest way to get called a guy is to call oneself a woman.

They also know that going 'lulz I'm female' is the best way to derail a thread.

Therefore, most women who regularly post on 4chan don't announce that they're female.

So it follows that most people that go 'I'm female' on 4chan are guys, girls who are trolls, or guys who are trolls.

Regardless, all of them can be safely ignored.

>>1714233

Birds of a feather.

>>1714249
>More games. Better sales means ZUN has more resources for more games and more copies.
Do want.

>An anime.
Do not. Neither does ZUN

More figures perhaps.

>>1714267
He said he wouldn't like to use an existing plotline and it was unlikely. If someone seriously asked him I doubt he would turn it down.

Hey guys if its popular i don't like it because I'm fucking retard. Seriously i enjoy copious amounts of dicks in my orifices.

>>1714258
My dear boy, no girl is worth the loss of your balls, much less an unconfirmed one who has nothing of appeal.

As much as I end up defending women here, it does seem like they randomly throw out their gender for no reason a lot of the time.

Anyway yeah how about that cosplay.

>>1714282
Looks porcelain almost.

>>1714272
And there's no such thing as a slip of the keys? Either way, like I said...done caring now. Gender means as much here as race or sexual preference, which is a whole lot of nothing.

>>1714277

>>1714281
So if there was an anime, it'd be horrible like the manga anyway.

All I hear is people bitching about idiots in the fandom. Yes, when things get popular you're bound to get the fags who spam xDD and other useless shit. But do we focus on these people and make them the representation of the fanbase? No. But a bunch of you fags seem to enjoy generalizing and bitching about this.

In the end, you will enjoy what you enjoy. Personally if there are new materials every now and then including music and doujin from the cons, thats all that really matters.

About getting a Touhou anime I don't really support this. I mean if the fans make it thats ok, I don't mind the quality. With different attempts and the fanbase getting larger we might even see something nice eventually.

>>1714289

Part of me wants to say they put a glaze on it, but it might just be the lighting.

>>1714292

Yet you keep the tripcode up and keep fighting back.

The easiest way to make it go away is to dump the trip. Ta da, no one cares anymore.

>>1714268Masking of power levels coming to an end.
Actually, popularity is the whole reason people started "hiding power levels" in the first place. The whole point is to avoid conversations with annoying narutards. The more popular something gets, the more likely you are to run into a narutard that recognizes something from it.

If you are hiding your power level so the cool kids don't think you're wapanese, then you're doing it wrong.

>>1714308

There's a manga?

>>1714315
Silent Sinner in Blue.

Remake of PC-98

>>1714315

No, it doesn't exist.

>>1714315

Silent Sinner in Blue.

Anyway, I don't have a problem with Touhou going mainstream OR staying SPR SKRT CLUBHOUSE.
It's not like it's the damn Ark of the Covenant; good things come and go all the fucking time.

>>1714306
I'm going to fuck that up when I make it. She'll have an unintentional awesome face and black skin.

>>1714311
That's bullshit and you know it. You are all ashamed of what you like, and you won't have to be once Touhou is mainstream. Instead of Narutards asking "WHAT'S TOUHOU DESU KA?!" they'll already know, and in time they'll become more civilized. It will be glorious.

>>1714401
For one speaking of civility, you have quite the racist tripcode. Why would you use something like that?

>>1714401
>Narutards
>civilized
Excuse me?

>>1714306
No no, that one is actually nice. This one too.

>>1714411

lurk moar
>>1714413

Hey, if a stupid fucking bitch like you can post on this board with some civility, there's hope out there for those Narutards.

TRIPFAG DAY

Isn't the mainstream fanbase dead yet.

I was kinda hoping that they will die with dub companies.

did I miss the party?

>>1714282
who makes those?

>>1714424
It's spelled "more", isn't it? And if I was doing this "lurking", as you call it, how would I be able to respond to your posts? Please try not to be so offensive, or all the progress the world has made will be for naught.

>>1714445
I'm not sure if the actual maker but they are resin kits from Wonder fest.

>>1714424
Go roam around Anime Suki, Gaia, or Deviant Art for a bit and then come back here and tell me that. Places like those are the reason I'm even at this dump in the first place.

>>1714446
#gXn-rMJb was the tripcode of a poster on /g/, we stole it from him. It tends to confuse a lot of newfags when they're on /g/.

>>1714455
FUCK YES, I live real close to there if your'e talking about this wonder fest http://www.wonderfest.com/..

>>1714465
The posters on those forums are mostly children, and we were all like that when we were kids. We just didn't have the internet when we grew up, so we couldn't express ourselves the way they can behind their veil of anonymity. They'll grow out of it, just like we did. I kind of envy them.

>>1714471
No sorry, it's a bi-annual event in Japan that's dedicated to figures and things of the sort.

The Winter 2009 one in February was (and is still, I think) canceled which sucks, but oh well.

A growth in Western popularity of Touhou wouldn't result in an anime or more games or anything really. Not enough people would actually buy the games to make a difference, and even if every Western Touhou fan bought the games I'm still doubtful that it would have any impact in Japan at all. That's also assuming that they would even be interested in the games and not just the fan created shit.

>>1714471

lol no

>>1714455

Yeah that was from winter Wonfest '08. Still have my book, according to it it's by a GK maker named Haruki.

>>1714512
They are nice. At first I had assumed they were limited but they were released in August I think so yeah. Does your book have the burger eating dark Saber, or was that from a different fest? That was selling for like 300+ dollars.

>>1714492
This is the truth. And actually many older users who have never been to 4chan generally abuse emoticons as well. You can't really blame some of them since they're just unknowledgeable and the users around them encourage their actions.

In before I was never that stupid as a kid.

>>1714537

Uh on the cover? If so then no, the books are fairly thick so I can't be bothered going through every page.

That remilla was in the WF showcase so it doesn't surprise me that it was released outside it. I personally wasn't interested, I was more interested in picking up the Volks Miku.

>>1714492
I suppose that's pretty true. I remember when I was in middle school and every guy was wearing a Dragonball Z T-shirt to school. Now I'm 23 and I don't even use emoticons on my serious business /jp/ board.

Maybe that's why I like little girls. Still young and fun.

I don't remember a burger eating dark saber though. Even small kits can easily sell above 10k yen so $300 wouldn't surprise me.

>>1714614

We must convene a committee to asses the situation before it's too late. Super secret silly hat club, assemble!


Oh, all I got was this thread.

>>1714629

Yeah don't remember that.

There were a lot of maid sabers though that were like half the size of me, I can't remember if I took pics of them.

>>1714134
>I just happen to be a jaded femanon

Hi there. I have a penis.

A lot of the girls on /cgl/ are quite slutty aren't they?

>>1714680
Get out. Cancers, both of you.

Fuck yeah, more tripfags. Let's be like /m/ and have EVERYONE trip.

>>1714134
Do you cosplay and sleep around with different guys?

>>1714690
Perhaps, but these touhou girls obviously don't post in /cgl/

>>1714690
A lot of (3D) girls in general are quite slutty.

In fact, the only ones who aren't slutty are fat/ugly and have no choice.

>>1714701
Haha, I'm liking the name and trip.

>>1714692
>Cancer

Irony.

>>1714492
I'm pretty young so I grew up with the internet when I was a preteen and a teen. I can honestly say that I was never like the gaiafags. If anything I took the internet too seriously and tried to act more mature than I really was, but now I realize that it's not serious business. I guess back then there weren't so many kids on the internet so acting like an immature kid was frowned upon by a generally older internet population.

>>1714691

Japanese Touhoufags are known to be annoying and outspoken. Futaba actually created a seperate Touhou board, although I never noticed any touhou hijacking/thread spamming. Contarary to popular belief, Nico Nico Douga is filled with low-level animefags who fail at being funny. The comments on popular videos are usually youtube level shit. For some reason, people think that Japanese people can't be annoying or newfags. Nico Nico Douga also boosted the popularity of Touhou with newfags via MADs, IOSYS, and so on. With Touhou becoming more and more popular every comiket, the number of newfags will only increase.

Now imagine if Touhou got popular in the west.

>>1714787
It's getting there.

Holy shit this thread is still around? Is our side of it still here?

>>1714787
If Touhou becomes as popular as you make it out to be, and licensing makes ZUN money, he will die of liver failure.

Then no more Touhou.

It's a self-resolving problem.

>>1714878
Let me clarify: I am surprised the cgl thread still exists, and would like to know if the jp thread that linked it in it's OP still exists.

does japan have trolls?

Best case scenario: Touhou gains popularity. Touhou animu is made. Fandom gradually dies down.

>>1714893
>>1714878
What? There is no /jp/ thread linked in the OP. The /cgl/ thread is the same that thread that was linked in the OTHER /jp/ thread like two days ago, though.

>>1714900
errata

>>1714900
Worst case scenario: Touhou gains popularity. Bethesda buys out Team Shanghai Alice and makes a first person shooter loosely based on it.

>>1714927

Fallout 3 was great you tard.

>>1714927
EA presents Madden x Touhou '10

>>1714927
>Worst case scenario: Touhou gains popularity. Shonen Jump runs a series that never really fucking ends, and this leads to anime that never really fucking ends. EA buys rights to Touhou games, and milks the franchise for all its worth. ZUN gets nothing.

Touhou shounen would own

I could barely make it through the first 15 or so posts of this thread before I wanted to cry.

Oh, /jp/, what has become of you? How could this happen?

>>1714957
I wish I had that Saku Saku Tei doujinshi/Bleach anime comparison.

>>1714974
I would make every character as badass as possible.
Something similar to Chado's Wriggle but less fucked up.
>>1714972
pussy

>>1714584
Nice controller dude.

>>1714957
what other demograpic would it go under but shounen?

Touhou has nothing serious enough to have it constrained as a seinen, and no way in hell is it a shoujo or a josei.

>>1715023
lucky star

>>1715023

Slice of Life.

You know the fans would love it much more than babbling about power levels.

>>1714944
>Worst case scenario: Touhou gains popularity. Shonen Jump runs a series that never really fucking ends, and this leads to anime that never really fucking ends. EA buys rights to Touhou games, and milks the franchise for all its worth. ZUN gets nothing.
This is impossible since first off, Ichijinsha is the company that publishes Comic Rex, i.e. the magazine that Silent Sinner in Blue is serialized in. Secondly, ZUN has the rights to the Touhou series. Only way someone else is going to get all the rights would be over his dead body. Assuming he doesn't have a will or it never turns up.

>>1715034
I wouldnt

>>1715034
Slice of Life isn't a demographic. It's barely passes as a genre.

>>1715031
that's an anomaly instead of the rule and you know it

>>1715034
Slice of Life is a genre and can be put under any demographic, considering the characters and their personalities I don't see touhou in ANY genre being outside shounen demographic.

It'll be horrible if the touhou becomes popular in the west. You'll see shit content like touhou anime discussion completely devoid from reality, claims EA will make modern remakes of the games and screw over ZUN with their Big Corporate Machine, and fanboys will argue whose character is the best through the conduit of power levels.

>>1715051
I think Touhou anime would fall in the same category as things like Nanoha. I'm not sure what that genre actually is called.

>>1715037

Hey now, EA has been making better games lately. At least RA3 wasn't a total travesty. Plus, an EA Touhou game would be hip and street savvy.

Touhou anime would destroy the world

>>1715063
Magical Girl/Beamspam

>>1715058
>You'll see shit content like touhou anime
>EA will make modern remakes of the games and screw over ZUN with their Big Corporate Machine
see >>1715037 and then learn how global corporate copyrights work, just because we as individuals pirate shit on a daily basis does not mean a multimillion dollar publicly owned corprate entity can do the same

>discussion completely devoid from reality

Nanoha anime is seinen.
Nanoha manga is shounen.
