Shit I’m just hoping by 2040 Touhou at least has more male characters that actually have a role in the world(given ZUN’s seeming preferred artstyle, and his chatter about what the end boss of 12 was supposed to be, though, I’m not holding my breath). Barring that, a twink-based supernatural bullet hell coming into existence is also acceptable-- probably the option I’m going to have to more wait on.
i recall there was a comic about how when ZUN’s child plays their father’s games, the child complains about how there’s no guys in it, and what do you know, ZUN features a guy (as a playable character no less!) in Touhou 20 after Touhou 1 was the last Touhou game featuring a male opponent
but yeah, it’d be interesting to see a shmup series featuring mostly guys like how touhou features mostly women and len’en features genderless people/enbies
Last I actively paid attention to the fandom (it was something I got jumped into by the anime heads at my school as a teen, and then I fell out save occasional pokes back in where someone made a BALLER 3d animation of a fight I actually remember playing or IOSYS remixes) y’all were still on like-- 16 or 17; shows you how frequently I update on ‘whats the most current’. I’d never heard of len’en though; I’m going to have to poke my head in and see what that’s all about.
lucky. i found out about touhou through online exposure. my peers irl don’t know about it, despite being into anime themselves lmao. i do wonder what was this 3D animation you’re talking about.
also tbf i pretty much only cared about it up until 16. while i did take a peek onto what 17 and 18 was about, can’t say i really care what happens past them, although 19 just released.
as for checking out len’en - you definitely should! len’en deserves some love too,
especially as how its creator also remade the pc98 games for pc in his own artstyle; also len’en being enby representation thanks to the characters not having a canon gender. it’s wayyy harder than touhou, but the recent len’en game (Len’en 0: Book of the Cafe) isn’t a shmup but a barista gamei mostly pay attention to what the fandom is building, i really liked oil fire from the most recent game, but i’m still making my way through the games. i’ve been stuck on 10 for about a year, but i’ll get there one of these days
no i want only girls to continue. it’s refreshing to have a series with no men, given how everything else in the world is
i do wish dark-skinned girls and even trans girls would make their appearance in gensokyo though, would really make things interesting imo
yeah for sure. i mean, there’s miko, but there could always be more, and more that explicitly acknowledge it would be really nice
she’s trans? wasn’t her story like she was a
who went to sleep and thousands of years later woke up as a girl and went “huh, neat”? idk when she voiced displeasure of being a.she used magic to become a woman and i believe is stated to be happier that way, that makes her trans in my book. zun should include more explicitly trans characters but i think miko counts
she used magic to become a woman
when did this happen
unless she did that magic before going to sleep
that’s how i remembered it but that might have been a doujin. may not be canon, idk if we know the exact mechanics and it could have been made up
skirt go shorter, gohei go longer
interesting 🤔
Forgive my ignorance, but what are those banner stick thingies?
go, hey!
Neat.
