Oh you meant this. Yeah, I imagine that's where my habit of constantly throwing bullets comes from, since most of my soku experience is against Alice.
> Also, I'm surprised you ever end your blockstrings. Aya's stagger pressure is scary in general, and Alice's buttons are too slow to reliably challenge her resets.
1) Alice's 66A is where it ends, it's nowhere near being slow, it is in fact fast as fuark. Trip wire and returning dolls also stop such attempts, as well as stuff like DPs for other characters.
2) I can get mixed up in stagger pressure more than my opponent, sadly, overthinking/not thinking enough.

Also I don't like the feel of stagger pressure on both sides overall, I'd rather go for something more guaranteed and tight and I'll keep searching for such options.

2A after any wrongblock (or after rightblocked 5AAA/f.5A) beat her 66A if done fast enough, though it's much easier for Alice to mash than for Aya to catch it.

Hello.

I will host a game of Marathon Phoenix with Touhou sprites Saturday, June 28th at 5:00 EST. This is similar to the DOOM co-op games if you ever played that. Though, this can only accommodate 8 players total ingame, unlike modern net DOOM.

Download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12_s9gEJswHvyRtnX17GaNFwgonWnoPq2/view?usp=sharing
Please note this is slightly new version. This has hosted for 4/jp/ a couple years back, so if you have that please use this new version.

This is an old game with an old engine so a few things are needed to be done before joining for the best experience. A lot of these settings cannot be changed while ingame:
- Run Aleph One.exe and select Preferences>Player. Change your name here and choose a color if you like. I recommend checking the box "Show crosshairs". Default Marathon never had one, but this scenario plays a bit better with it on.
- Back within Preferences, in "Graphics" select the following options: Make sure that "Overlay map" is checked on. Select "Rendering Options".
- Within Rendering Options select "Advanced". Make sure texture filtering for "Walls, Landscapes, and Sprites" are set to "none" for near.
- Within "Graphics" There should be 2 different HUD styles, in the section "HUD Plugin". I recommend "Enhanced HUD" as that has a correctly aligned crosshair. Change the setting "HUD Size" to make it fit; "Largest" should work. This somewhat dependent on your resolution. You can change the resolution in game with F1 and F2 keys.

- IMPORTANT!: Back within Preferences, go to "Controls" and UNCHECK the option "Auto re-center view". Mouse feel should be set to modern. Select "Mouse Advanced" and change to your preference. I like sensitivity about 0.050 or less for X and Y. Then use higher mouse DPI values to compensate for a smoother mouse look. "Raw Input Mode" checked as well. Back within "Controls", select "Move" tab on the top and set "Run/Swim Behavior" to "Always Run Hold to Swim" . Look over the rest of the keybindings within "Controls" and change to preference. By default, "Tab" is the interact key, and the key to respawn when dead. "\" key to chat while ingame.

nhk suffers from a similar problem as many western works wherein the author attempts to depict some aspect of reality by divorcing their own neuroses and pathologies from the depiction (seeking to create an 'objective' view of the phenomenon in question), and fails due to subconscious leakage of their own pathology into the work. the fact that the author is a nervous hikki wreck who hates himself detracts from the experience of the ln and show, because he's not really able to portray neetdom in a fair light, and he pretends as though the unfair light he shines on it is somehow unbiased. it's not a bad show, but this has always annoyed me to some extent.

Nice, Slam Dunk is honestly a really good manga. It was one of the few manga's that made me understand Sports on a deeper level. There's a part in the manga where one character couldn't play in a very important game due to an injury and he cries as he is sent off the court. I remember finding it odd and almost comical, it's just an injury until it's explained that he trained for this exact game, he spent days over months training every part of his body to play in this EXACT game and through no fault of his own, he cannot continue and must be sent off.

Interestingly, a few months later I was randomly watching a game of Football with a friend and the exact same thing happened (player injured in the final, he cries as he's forced to retire from the game) and I would've laughed before but now I truly understood.

It's a shame it never really got a true adaptation (I believe the 90's version stops about 70% through) but at least it's a finished Manga unlike Inoue's other manga….

Also best girl

The Afterlife Anime Talks Group. To join first kill yourself. Oh wait did I just sound RUDE? Don't get me wrong, though. There really, really may be a worthwhile anime community somewhere out there.

Fools thought cyberpunk was going to be about underground parties to escape omnisurveillance of the Daddy Bot. Lol nope. Cyperpunk is going to be about complete, total and choice-less isolation and solitude. It's either real life people you don't like or digital people you don't like.

but eva is the pinnacle of anime. i've read through your list and you think that code geass is one of a small, select list of anime which is perfect, and i would argue that this is as provincial as considering the anime you deride as perfect, atleast to an outside viewer,,,

as for anime communities that are good, the reality of the matter is that anyone with a decent amount of intelligence has already seen that with the popularity of any open community, there inevitably comes a decline in it's quality. most places you'd like to be in are walled gardens, and they probably wouldn't want you in them. my recommendation is to find like-minded people on public forums who want something greater, and to aggregate them. good luck!

the pursuit of being seen by others online as intelligent will not actually grant you that intelligence.

a Koishi route along those lines does sound pretty cute. with that 3-day route idea however, do you mean either the first/last half of the routes will be that long (getting to know her vs. actually committing to her) or there will only be 3 days of interaction all together? just trying to make sure i understand is all, i can talk more about route details in a small while.

Hey. So, yeah, I was thinking about a 3 day route in total. At the end of the first day, you would answer whether or not you want to become friends, and answering affirmatively would continue the route. On the second day, some drama takes place (Koishi cannot control herself, she plays too violently, or something along those lines), which gets resolved either then on on the third day. On the third, last day, you make ammends and so the friendship deepens and by the end, Koishi starts noticing she feels something new in her chest, that is, love, for Anon. Then the fabled koosh kiss, and you can go to the Flower Viewing event with her. I personally was not planning to have any sex scenes, because they clearly do not fit the setting.
Of course, you do have a whole game planned, so feel free to point anything that may be incongruous for the final result.

The absolute most important thing you need to know is that you must learn writing, since it's the only valuable thing is this cursed genre, and also it's a game about the thing that kept national socialism alive since 97, anyways, learn and re-pass everything about writing, ThatAnimeSnob and Doomentio being the best channels for that, and then you can start writing.

Something that can elevate your work even more is that it has a objective above sloppy coally mundane entertainment, like the only good VN in existence, Umineko, as it's duty to lean people to the path, the truth and the life is so good and effective it can cure atheism.

So those are the most important things for a story really, so good luck on your duty and God bless ya.

Not at all, imagine preferring Akane to Shinobu.
Shinobu is funny, actually has a decent reason to be upset, and is not costantly blaming Ataru even if Ataru is a gooner, and she also gets more dynamic with the other female characters unlike Kane.

Totally agree, I never did say that she wasn’t better, it’s probably because akane has main character status that I initially thought this was but yeah shinobu is more funny. Also for my honest thoughts now that I’m almost done, I like it and I think the characters are memorable (this anime was a pop cultural touchstone during the anime boom period back in the 90s after all) and megumi’s performance as ranma-chan is a highlight, however I’ve personally enjoyed UY more and I was expecting this anyway

 No.2209

Finished the television series, I enjoyed this but IMO I liked UY more, still regardless i liked how the cast was handled here being a bit more self contained so the various reoccurring side characters could show up more. Also I’ll now find those “I’ve finally found /a/“ posts much funnier in retrospect. Onto the ova series next

Finished the OVA’s incense rumic world special, and the hilarious hot song contest. That’s two rumic series finished as a whole. Also took a look at the last chapters btw, I know it’s not what people expected but it is fitting overall, plus it’s a foregone conclusion they get together anyway. Between this and UY, I’m surprised I hadn’t watched or read either until recently, seriously anyone new to both CHECK THEM OUT! YOU. WILL. LOVE. THEM!

>Art style

Starts off as a very 70s looking series with very skinny females, and unrealistic proportions. Ataru is especially unrecognizeable in early chapters. Rumiko's art style evolves, with more realistic proportions and more curves for the women. Faces are quinticential 80s style.

>Focus


Starts as Shinobu and Ataru are accosted by "Urusei Yatsura" with some inspired by Japanese folklore. Then it's a Lum and Ataru will they or won't they story focused on Tomobiki high school. Introduction of Mendo and Onsen Mark becoming a regular character, and Sakura becoming the school nurse, mark the change. Lum spends less and less time wearing her tiger striped bikini.

She was supposed to be a one-off villainess after all. Urusei Yatsura was supposed to be an episodic series where Ataru and Shinobu struggled with Ataru's curses for ghosts, aliens and his penchant for womanizing. Lum became such a fan favorite that Takahashi re-worked the whole series. This is like fundamental Urusei Yatsura knowledge.

In response to >>1262 I'll make a brief post about why colors were so damned good in cel animation versus modern productions.

1. Paint

They're quite literally using real world paints on plastic cels to photograph so the colors are much better quality and more realistic.

2. Film stock

They were shot on 16mm or 35mm film, and film stock had strived for decade for rich strong colors and strong contrasts. Most television anime was shot in 16mm film, and 35mm used for theatrical films or television OPs.

Then they shifted to digital formats, and with them digital color spaces and palettes. More washed out, lacking contrast, overly bright, like there's a haze or some kind of bright light out. This is also an issue for live action productions.

1997 was actually a bad year for Japan's economy. 1992 saw the economic bubble of the late 80s burst, and had already started causing a slow decline, and then 1997 saw the Asian financial market crash, which damaged Japan's economy even more. Even the mainstream Japanese music industry, which saw a boom when people could no longer afford houses and other big picture stuff, so would spend more on consumer goods, saw its peak right at 1998 when Sakura began to air.

NHK, Kodansha, and Sogo Vision funded Cardcaptor Sakura, not Clamp themselves. As a Kodansha manga serialized in Nakayoshi they would probably be the primary rights holders, and would be giving Clamp some royalties from any money made off of the franchise. Not that Clamp didn't have any say over how the anime went, but it's not like it was their project.

>Keep in mind, these were purely japanese studios with japanese employees whose profession was to make japanese anime.


Massive outsourcing to Asia for lower level jobs like inbetweening was already extremely common by then, Gundam Wing for example would start with layouts and rough key animation from a Japanese Studio (Dove) and then all the animation would be finished up over in Asia by their overseas subsidiaries.

>Then japan slowly spiraled into a forever recession and lots of the older experienced studios shut down or consolidated.


Like who? Sunrise, Toei, Tatsunoko, Pierrot, Deen, Ashi Pro, Madhouse, Gainax, Production IG, AIC, OLM etc, all the big established studios of the 90s persisted into the 2000s. It was more marginal studios like E&G that died out in the early 2000s.

The answer to why Cardcaptor Sakura looks as good as it does, is likely just because Madhouse gave it a good schedule and good staff. They also did X 1999 a few years earlier, which looks phenomenal as well.

That’s has been done since the 60s, the golden bat anime for instance had some work done in korea which is also why it had a following there but couldn’t say it was Japanese.

Maybe my favorite part of Touhou is its doujin scene. Bold statement, I know. Yet doujinshi recommendation threads are few and far between, and don't tend to last. So I figured out this was the best place to make a thread for anons to recommend their favorite doujinshi.
Let's keep it SFW for now. Both jp only and translated doujin, but clarify its status if possible.
I am going to start with a rather unknown one: 魔理沙が生理でがんばる本, or "Marisa does her best while on her period". Now, this sounds like a horrible idea, but the author, "am colon tiger", has quite a distinctive style in his stories, and I found the three works I have read of them (this one, the "Another" version of this story, and the "No control on Kirisame's [sexual] appetite"), to be quite enjoyable. Sex is a theme without devolving into NSFW (in fact, it is marked as "for all ages"), which is already quite inusual for a doujinshi, but he even introduces some drama into it… They are soft yuri, btw. And I think it hasn't been translated.

Questions: Do anons want nsfw too?
Should doujin series ("Osanareimu" etc.,) be included?
Anyway, post your.

Let's see if I can do this without my computer crashing in any random way for once:
I am gonna recommend a rather well-known one (by that I mean I have seen one of Satori's faces in this comic on imageboards sometimes): Satori-sama no Nyoukan ni Koishi ga Dekiru Hanashi, or The Story of Koishi Being Lodged In Satori-Sama's Ureter.
A story about Koishi being lodged in Satori-Sama's ureter. What exactly isn't self-explainable in the title? Everything? Well, then, read it to find out and thank me later. Also have a glass of water at hand, you will need it by the time you are done with the doujinshi.
This one is translated, so I am going to post a link:

Next one is from Bellsuke. It is focused on Koishi (one of my favourite 2hu characters) and Flan. I like bellsuke's writing style, which lends this doujin an almost literary feel. It is cute and has a lot of soul.
It has not been translated, sadly. Should be.

PD: I have been reading more doujin from toran, my first recommended artist, and most of them are really good. I love his depiction of Marisa.

It's not exactly manga doujinshi, I think this format is called webcomic or something, but I feel like I must share it.
Meet - Wheelchair Detective Satori by donjuan! It was made in 2013 by the way.
https://youtu.be/B_A5cRts5cI
As you can tell by the name, it is detective story, in each episode you get a riddle to solve (they are too obscure and japanese to actually solve but you might try) and watch Satori solving it, but it also is a funny, sometimes black comedy and a bit of a drama near end. It is very stylish and has neat openings too.

While technically only having 11 episodes, it has sort of second season too - Murder in Pseudo Paradise. Now this is where it jumps from awesome to KINO. Unlike WDS, MiPP has single big connected plotline and you might actually try deducing who's the culprit behind happening events. Openings became even more stylish https://youtu.be/apoEmBEUj7Y jokes are less numerous and it's more plot-focused. This time, main hero is Kosuzu. While it can be enjoyed as separate story, I highly recommend to first watch WDS to get the atmosphere, and only then MiPP, you will notice more neat details like that as well.

Entire series can (must) be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl4hOZI8Urbvi41Nt_Lw_SjtrEQx6Eg63

I like Midori's non-H works. The underlying tone of Midori's works in general cuts enough into an uncanny and dark direction that works well enough for the setting without going full grimtard ala Zounose. It's not in your face all the time which makes it work.
This one, Kitsune no Chabukuro, is pretty good and scratches a Tsukasa bully itch. https://exhentai.org/g/2254586/f940388dd5/

A LOT of manga chapters never got adapted, as the anime ended about 2/3 of the way through the show, so there was only a trickle of important stories that got adapted into OVA or films. A lot of hte anime adaptions are also wildly different from the manga counterparts that they might as well be original episodes.

It's nice to have a situation where the most popular one is the best as well.
For Sketchbook I recall it being decent but all the cat parts being shit. For GA for reasons I can't recall it's one of my least favourite Kirara anime. I really don't know what it did wrong to make me consider it Aldnoah tier but aside from remembering a surrealist episode being decent I don't remember anything else so have to defer to a list I made 6 years ago.

For extra art girl anime if I count New Game and Stella no Mahou they'd only be behind Hidamari. If I include mangaka and potters a few extra series would join them.

The people who hate on him are tourists, newcomers, people who got into anime in recent years and watch it on smartphones, the twitter and reddit moralfriendry crowd who screetch about "pedo" content making them "uncomfortable" because that's that and being "hateful" are the worst insults they can come up with
I despise them all. I love MiA, except he takes waaay too much time drawing these chapters and I'm mildly worried he'll end up like miura.

I tried to give MiA a fair chance by watching the anime first but I gave up after season one after it just kept sliding into "let's torture children" porn. Except not like literal porn, but I'm not going to get far enough into the series to find out if the constant sexualization of children goes that far. It /probably/ doesn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I loved the setting because it did remind me of Tarkovsky's Stalker, and I love series like Madoka and Elfen Lied but at some point, it ended up giving me the sensation of watching a video of a kitten be beaten to death with a shovel and I started wondering what the fuck am I doing with my time.

there is no such thing as "otaku", it's a broad social construct term. person who watches only iyashikei are different from one who watches mahoushoujo or shounen etc.

or maybe you wanted to say : author is just a normal regular human too. In this case yes, maybe.

Buy originals, licensed hard copies directly from author, if you really care so much.

>Elfen Lied

I remember when it just came out and were considered newfg zoomer type of emo slop. And then some one made cool effect amv with breaking benjamin & diary of jane.

I strongly doubt it. Especially since there was a lot of dark stuff in the 80s with hyper violent OVAs that was reviled by a lot of westerners, especially internet critics of the 2000s. Hell look at Genocyber which was peak nihilism and postmodern critique. The same guy that did Genocyber went on to do the plot of FMA 2003 which was more nihilistic than the source material.
I think it's less to do with western influence and more a sub-sect of that Japanese generation at the time that grew disillusioned, I am not that good at Japanese Cold War history, but part of me thinks it has to do with all the wacky shit that was going on in the 60s-70s with those extreme leftist groups that were taking over schools and causing literal sieges (I think there was even one that was a literal self-hating anti-Japanese group?).
Also post-modern critique in Japan is nothing really new. So I don't really believe that either. It just so happens it more easily appeals to western tastes because westerners are a lot more cynical.

Nah take that back. Hellsing 2001 was great.
I get it wasn't faithful, but I just found out more interesting than Hirano's original version (I like the tone, characters, writing, style and music more). Hirano's original manga felt too rushed since Hirano was just too lazy to actually write the damn story, which is part of the reason why the anime was mostly original instead of faithful.
I wish Hirano had more of an attitude like Arakawa when it came to unfaithful adaptations, I would've liked Hellsing 2001 to run for a bit longer before then having Ultimate come out much later so Hirano could've taken more time to actually finish the manga instead of rushing it in such a weird way. But nah, Hirano threw a hissy fit about 2001 and probably got any continuation shit-canned.

You didn't do that bad actually, especially for first-timer. If you're feeling up for more later, check picrel, that's pretty much anything you need to know about PoFV mechanics, so you can dodge not only hard but smart too, since scoring is your main offensive tool in this game.

Thank you, but just to make clear I've played PoFV before, normal on all characters, hard on Marisa-Cirno-Mystia-Aya, lunatic Aya, extra on Komachi-Eiki-Aya. Also some matches against computer. The first time referred to playing against human.

Arguably Oshii's masterpiece. It's visually engaging and experimental in a good way. One of the interesting things about animation as a medium is that the creators are free to take it in any direction they want. Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! gives you a stage play where the camera/viewer can be placed anywhere, and no special effect is out of reach. Plus, on top of that it's genuinely really funny. Tie it all together with animation from some of the best animators of the time (hashimoto, ohira, iso, ect.), and you have one fantastic OVA.

That is correct. They're kind of snobby and high brow and seem to think that animation is beneath them, or not part of their purview. They did release that Akira Laserdisc in the 90s, but that was before Akira had any good home releases that weren't just cropped VHS tapes.

You could make the case that there's a lot of overlooked and ignored Soviet, European, and Japanese, animation and some need restoration and care. They would have be high brow to fit the Criterion brand though.

I definely think we need a criterion for anime though.

>I definitely think we need a criterion for anime though.
It would be nice. Feels like studios have rather random output with HD masters for their older anime. You might get one that's very well done and then another not long after that seemingly uses an older, worse mastering process. If Criterion were to remaster an anime you'd need something artsy, important, and I suppose something with no HD transfer or one done very poorly.The hardest part would be to decide which anime are the most culturally significant or important. For me, the one that leaps to mind instantly is the End of Evangelion. The TV show had an over all fantastic HD transfer sans episode 16, but the movie's transfer looks like an abortion. I feel that lots of films made during the transition to CG effects and digipaint suffer from this. While not entirely pre 2000s, Satoshi Kon's films are all perfect candidates. I did see that Perfect Blue was supposedly getting a new and better remaster, but the previews I saw did not impress me.

Current /cel/ has too much nostalgia wank. Too little quality show discussion. Manga is also 100x bigger and more varied and has better quality controls than retro anime to boot! Posting is very stale for what should be the core of the site. It should be about new discoveries, new 16mm scans, preservation projects, new laserdisc scans! Let's use this thread to highlight projects in the retro anime scene. I'll start:

A fansub of an anime short included in a V-Jump Festival '95 Video VHS tape, themed around Dragon Quest and starring Slime was released a few weeks ago.

Wapanese Channel creates /djn/ offshoot: Touhou, Visual Novels, and fanworks

Following the Vanishing Imageboard in Digital Paradise incident in the middle of this month, Wapanese Channel has been a place of refuge and reorganization for many affected. The administrator, figamin, has been making efforts to welcome the new arrivals, and also to help them assimilate to local culture. One large class has been categorized as those users who post primary and fan-made content for shmups, VNs, and other doujin works. At the time of the incident, this discussion was relegated to a board it shared with general computing and gaming, but it was quickly made apparent that one board could not hold both topics comfortably after the increase in site activity. It was this fact that spurred figamin to create a new board, /djn/, specifically for this type of discussion.

The decision has been accepted and even hailed as good by many. Still, it is not without controversy.
Most grievously, after it was announced that the board would allow character threads, several readers contacted me to voice their opinions that it was ridiculous that no Tengu threads had been made.
Furthermore, it has been alleged that figamin is working with a local impoverished shrine maiden in exchange for a cut of the donations she hopes to receive from these new users.

This article, as always, aims to spread awareness, but my work does not end here. Rest assured, I will continue personally monitoring this incident, as well as reaching out to figamin for comment.

What kind of habits do you think she would have? I don't know much about the vast myths of Tengu, but I think on the crowish side of her, she would like to solve puzzles, maybe sudoku, or keep a Rubik's cube on her desk. Also, I've heard crows prefer being given unshelled nuts, that way they can figure out how to open them, so I like to imagine her cracking open and snacking on nuts while she works doing proofreading or something like that.

We know Tengu like games, going so far as to make expanded rulesets for Shogi to make it more complex, so cerebral activities are up their alley when they're not drowning themselves in bathtubs of sake. General puzzles like you mentioned also sound right, like sudoku and crossword puzzles in newspapers. Maybe games by mail? Given the time they spend outside and their assumed infrastructure, I can imagine some sort of game they play over time and distance and make their moves (replies) when they have a chance. If you remember the original Bladerunner movie, the genetic designer/toymaker makes chess moves with the Tyrell founder through phone calls by declaring move terminology. Something like that but done over mail in some esoteric and arcane Tengu game.

I like that one too. It works well with Aya's speed so you hook around the rim of danmaku while waiting for your camera to charge. It's simple but effective.
My personal favorite is Kokkuri-san's contract in how both it looks, plays, and how fitting its theme is for Ran's character. It starts slow to get you used to the gimmick, but slowly ramps up as Ran plays the part of Kokkuri-san moving the coin planchette you're forced to sit inside of. Fitting the nature of the game it's a timeout spellcard that gets harder and dangerous, the danmaku increases and the space to dodge it shrinks, until suddenly the game's over and Kokkuri-san leaves.

I like Necro-fantasy a bit more than Necrofantasia even if I also like the latter a lot. Necro-fantasy feels "noble" if I were to describe it whereas Necrofantasia feels like you're fighting a horrifying being which fits given that Yukari could potentially be practically unbeatable in concept.

I don't attribute Necro Fantasy to Ran much anymore. It's a remix of Necrofantasia which sits firmly in the Yukari park, but as you said it's "noble" which still fits her. In that regard you could apply Necro Fantasy as something like a prelude. The last boss before the secret boss that messes with your expectations.
Charming Domination on the otherhand fits her to a tee, and it's her theme in UDoALG which cements it. That I think is the quintessential Ran theme.

What would Hanyuu do for a cream puff? That delicious delicacy she craves is something she would probably do ANYTHING for. What an amazingly powerful sweet, to be so effective on an alien-god. And yet, it would be so easy to tamper with that cream puff, to make Hanyuu move to your whims. Put in something spicy, and she'll cry. Put in an aphrodisiac, and she'll pounce you before long. But perhaps, if you fill it with something else…
Collecting a large amount of semen can be hard, but it's worthwhile as to your aims. Preparing it all in a large jar, hidden away in your room, is easy, if time consuming. Once you've got what you need, all you need is a syringe, and a cream puff. Hell, if you felt like going faster, you could probably go to Angel Mort and talk to all the otaku customers; they'll be sure to contribute to the nefarious scheme. However, you have later plans that would interfere with this, so you decide not to do that.
You start simple. Every day, you give Hanyuu a completely normal, completely innocent cream puff. This becomes a habit, a thing between the two of you. At lunch time at school, you open up your bento box and pass a cream puff to Hanyuu. She starts looking at you with sad, teary eyes if you take too long after a while, and that's when you know when to move to step two.
Now you start giving her the cum puffs. And miraculously, amazingly, she doesn't notice. What degeneracy must she have gotten up to in her youth? The idea boggles your mind, but furthers your boner. A step three and four are sure to follow after that showing. Each cum puff you serve her makes the next easier, your hands less sweaty, but your mind continues to race. You do this for a few months, in preparation for the next step.
Step three is finding out just how accustomed to the taste she is. You prepare a handmade cum puff, without any cream within it. You pass it to her, sweating bullets, screaming in your mind that this was a bad idea. She takes it with a smile and a hau~, puts it in her mouth, takes a bite, and swallows. The sound of her throat moving, the sign that this dirty goddess is eating YOUR semen, is both hot and scary as fuck.
…She takes another bite. She doesn't notice. You have successfully accustomed Hanyuu to the taste of cum instead of cream in her cream puffs. Excellent.
And now for step four. You get her a drink of milk to start the club day off right. Needless to say, it isn't milk. As she guzzles it down, youPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I believe we are on the brink of facing off against a massive purge of the unofficial Touhou OST uploads.

I have been seeing more and more copyright claims these days.

This Moriya thread: https://moriyashrine.org/threads/touhou-20-osts-possibly-being-removed-from-youtube.2505/

The TOUHOUMUSIC subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOUHOUMUSIC/

And this site: https://nautilus.nekoweb.org/en/writing/touhou-death/touhou-death

Are so far the best sources of information of what is getting taken down.
I think we can confirm that something very strange is happening with the news that PC98 songs are getting wiped off SoundCloud.
See: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOUHOUMUSIC/comments/1kp6efv/even_pc98_got_copyright_struck_come_on/

It is humbling to see how much the opinion on Touhou has changed in just a few weeks. No matter the longevity of the series, the consistent lenient behavior towards fanworks (provided they follow the few existing rules), or the public image ZUN tries to sell, a few fuck-ups can really make anyone fall from grace.
And NO, I am not an AI "shill". In fact, I believe nothing the AI creates will ever be art. I don't like how all of a sudden uploading music seems to be against the rules either, with no prior heads up, after so many fucking years where that was the norm and nobody bat an eye.
So I am not deflecting. And yes, right now I believe ZUN has fucked up. I want him to explain himself, and not act all lofty when his actions are causing such a shit show. Then whoever wanted could form an actual opinion with the actual reality of the situation. I just find it ridiculous how a few mistakes after, and a few posts into the thread, ZUN's entire existence seems to be called into question, with somebody saying he "may be friends with the guy from 2ch" without even knowing who that guy is (Hiroyuki, jfc), and that everyone who has known Touhou for more than 5 minutes and isn't a secondary (i.e., can speak Japanese) wouldn't even call into question that because it is braindead obvious they are in good terms. Or someone else saying now Touhou actually isn't a one-man game, when ZUN has actually put into the credits the few times he has used help from other people (e.g. th19), and doesn't make fucking sense because there's no way in hell anybody who had participated in such a phenomenon as Touhou wouldn't have done everything posible on this Earth to demand compensation.
Obviously, actual discussion is going to be poluted by people who will just shout their opinion without any knowledge on the matter, simply because they think their fringe, retarded opinion, has now an opportunity to foster.

I think you're strongly underestimating the severity of AI incorporation. ZUN could have been convicted of sexual assault or child pornography and the backlash would not be as bad (knowing the average Touhou fan). It represents the cessation of human efforts to tyranny. The cessation of a medium to a handful of corporations that have been antagonistic to all demographics. The cessation of creatives having any ownership of their creations. The cessation of visibility and communication to a deluge of irrelevant drivel after years of already being punished by biased algorithms.

It very strongly affects many people and ZUN sold himself as a cottage little guy, so it represents this entire doujin scene being closed off into an AI only shithole like so many other mediums. What good could come from this? Will conventions have to let in AI spammers? Will Touhou forums have to let in AI spammers? Will contests have to let in AI spammers? Of course! It'd be hypocritical when the king is naked. You take one look at the turdstorm AI spammers have left the areas they're free to reign, and you basically see what ZUN has rewarded the creatives that supported him with.

Frankly there's very little that can invalidate 30 years of work, but destroying every Touhou outlet and a significant portion of the doujin scene for the people who supported you for years would do it.

Anon, I dislike AI as strongly as you do, and my previous post accounts for it, but I do think you are overreacting in a climate ripe for overreaction.
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks AI is a disgrace for art. I have already argued in that other site why I believe that to be the case. But that left aside, I don't think you are actually evaluating the situation.
Touhou 20 is not the product of AI. It still is a creation of ZUN, at least until confirmed otherwise. He did not ask Adobe AI to "make th20 for me lol". He probably has used it in moderation, so maybe 5%, 10%, or 20% tops (I seriously hope not more than that) is the result of AI. ZUN most probably has thought out the story, designed the characters, composed the music and made most if not all of the programming himself, and then cut corners for some of the smaller parts he probably found tedious.
Not that I like it. But getting some help from an AI is not the same as AI generators (I refuse to ever call them artists)'s spawns of the devil that little by little plague the web. He is not welcoming purely AI generated fanart, at least not until he says so himself.
ZUN's opinion on this should also be taken in account. From what I know (and this one I haven't actually heard from him myself, but only read from other anons), ZUN seems to have a rather lenient stance on AI. His boomer glasses reflect to him a similar situation that what must have happened when he was experimenting with computers. Yet he was able to create his oeuvre with them, so for him creators should take advantage of that shiny, new tool to create something original and exciting, like he did in his time. It is clear he didn't choose the AI he used lightly either, since Adobe AI at least advertises itself as "respectful of artists" and only "enhancing their imagination" (you can look up their website).
Now, I think there are more abstract reasons why AI cannot make art, but ZUN probably isn't taking them into account. What I want to say, I guess, is that you can think ZUN has fucked up, but the Internet drama around this, as it tends to happen in imageboards, has sometimes been bombastic, painting ZUN in the bleakest of lights possible, instead of arguing about the reality of the "incident" (if I may say so).

Next time you make an outrage bait "touhou is over" thread for the sixth? seventh? time, please bother to spell check your subject…
Hard to not see this as anything more than concern trolling.

>>1403
I can see why it's so contentious. Youtube has been the primary gateway for westerners to get into Touhou for as long as it existed on the platform. How many times have you seen it said where one's first exposure was a video of Night of Nights, UN Owen Was Her, and Bad Apple? It's ingrained in fandom culture, such that Ruw doing his thing to make way for the official OST to be published to youtube music feels like a stab in the back to the fans who paved the way here.
The main issue comes from the complacency of both sides. The western fandom has been allowed to by and large do as it pleased for twenty years since the guidelines on fancontent have been left greatly unenforced. Touhou has always been this mystical thing in the west as ZUN never had any presence there to claim it, but at a glacial pace he's moving onto large platforms such as Steam and now Youtube. If I hazard a guess I'd say music rips will be taken down in waves as more and more of the music makes its way there officially.
>I could see if this affected gameplay videos
The danger to that is from Youtube's end with their hit and miss detection programs. Since the OST for 19-20 is on Youtube by the actual owners of the music, Youtube's system can trigger copyright automatically, such as the case with mtb's enoko video. We'll have to see how it all shakes out in the long run.
>but people don't use youtube as their primary way of listening to music, do they?
You'd be surprised at the amount of norms who do this. I used to do this before I realized I could just download ZUN's entire collection to my phone and let a local music player app handle it. Music discovery is another factor which Youtube is good for overall, which feeds back into the earlier point as a gateway into Touhou.

It's not genius writing: if Lum becomes too nice the story lacks conflict now. So they introduce Kurama who is closer to what Lum was originally going to be, then Sakura and Ran.

This is why I headcanon Lum as being actually competent and a bitch like in the real early episodes, because the idea that she A) can cause trouble and B) can get out of trouble lines up with how she's portrayed at times.

The story and setting got re-written since they didn't have a plan and just responded to what worked and what fans seemed to like. The early premise seems to be Ataru and Shinobu (remember her?) being accosted by Urusei Yatsura on a weekly basis when they just want to get on with their lives and get married. Lum was just going to be a recurring harlot who is trying to break them up because she wrongly thinks that Ataru is engaged to her. Then the story was retooled to be about Lum and Ataru being together with Shinobu as the side character.

Then it was retooled AGAIN to focus mostly on Tomobiki high school - making it the prototypical high school anime. Characters like Sakura, Mendo, or Ryunosuuke have nothing to do with the original premise, but they end up taking a majority of screen time once they're introduced.

Rumiko's later works were more planned out with a more consistent premise because she and her team had more experience in what fans wanted. If they knew how the series would play out, UY would probably be a supernatural series with no aliens centered on the high school and town from the get go. Other than electricity and flying around, the fact Lum is an alien is irrelevant for 75% of later UY stories. Could have easily made her and the Oni come from subspace to begin with.

Since we have a rule against AI art I figured it would be important to clarify that I won't be banning people or deleting posts for posting stuff ZUN put in Touhou 19/20. My personal view is very much against the use of it but it wouldn't do anyone here good to just ban the discussion of it outright especially since it's such a big franchise.

In case you didn't know, ZUN had to deal with a nasty copyright issue because the bank of stock images he bought actually contained copyrighted material. It's likely why just decided to say "fuck it, I'm not using stock images anymore, I'll just AI generate them"

Pretty much done with Touhou, was basically crazy about it up until the news dropped last week. I don't see much of a point continuing to discuss it, the fanworks empower the games while the games fuel the fanwork, continuing to participate in this subculture will just fund and legitimize another AI dev. They never stop at backgrounds, there's no future for this series. I guess that goes for all "big" series, should they be given an out for being bigger than the average AI vagrant? I'd say no, because what's put on display here isn't what made the series good nor beloved, it's just something generated by a third party. Maybe many of you would forgive him if he backpedals, but for me I feel like even getting into these controversies is a failure of character, and it doesn't look like he's being remorseful sending his lawyer dog out to silence critics.

Oyuki didn't do anything wrong unless you count being cheap. Benten's shenanigans were also all on the level. They don't compare to Ryoko at all.

Ryoko didn't suffer too much, admittedly. I didn't really mind though, she mostly only tortured Mendo and Tobimaro. Tobimaro absolutely didn't deserve it, which made it a lot funnier. And Mendo being the voice of reason was a fun contrast to his usual self.

We know Rumiko has an interest in mythology, and that Lum, Benten, and Oyuki, are clear parllels to real world mythological figures. Ran is the odd-one out and for 40 years fans have tried to figure out which specific mythological creature Ran actually is.

She has some kind of life-drain kiss so she's a Succubus? Is that the European variety or a Japanese one? No one's ever been able to pin her down exactly.

It's entirely possible Rumiko didn't think of anything specific so it's a red-herring.

So I'm sure we're all familiar with that episode of uy where the school gets a new hard ass teacher who instantly starts crushing on lum (can't remember episode number). anyway, sensei gets called a lolicon for being into lum-chan. but lum isn't what we'd think of a loli. she's married, full sized, and has big tits even if she's the same age as ataru which is still kinda old for a loli. So I went and looked around at the loli hentai that was being made in the mid 80s and so far its what you'd expect. but its not like i'm the lolimaster or something and know what i'm talking about... r-right fed-chan? so did the word's meaning change? did the whole flat chested bratty midget thing come later? afaik lolicon means like "pedophile" in modern Japanese. gotta be a loli history guide somewhere. Anyway I'm high as fuck and probably reading too much into things. Gonna go take a nap.

You can think of early UY as a nexus that many, many, film makers, writers, and animators, were part of who then went on to other things.

Kanako's films were part of the "pink film" genre of erotic softcore films and ran under the Nikkatsu Roman Porno line. So it's telling that right after UY, he's directing erotic films that are quasi pornographic.

If you take a listen to what she is actually saying, the localizers were actually having some fun. Shinobu is being referred to as a Zashiki-Warashi, as she was sometimes compared to early on in the series. This is a yokai that resembles a child and is commonly shown with a similar haircut as Shinobu.

"Ep. 9, Story 17: "Princess Kurama, Sleeping Beauty"



First Impression: Kurama's first impression of Shinobu is not at all flattering. Kurama calls Shinobu "Zashikiwarashi," which are household guardian spirits in the Toohoku ("Northeast") region of Japan, which is the area of Honshuu (the largest of the four main islands of Japan) north of Kantoo, and is known for being cold and covered in snow a lot of the time. These spirits typically have the appearance of a plain, immature, round-faced, rosy-cheeked girl with a bob haircut, which happens to describe Shinobu very nicely at this point in the series.

Rumiko added Ryu-chan instead of starting a new comic because she was bored of UY. Ryu actually fits the new setting and theme of the series which is revolving around the whacky hijinks at Tomobiki high school. Benten is more of a left-over from the original design where the comic would revolve around alien-yokai that show up and harass Ataru because he's unlucky.

Sorry if I replied so late, but I agree with your statements. But I will form a quick counterargument that some people would make about your opinion on the backgrounds of the reboot.

Many would probably say that having high quality backgrounds won't matter because of how fast the reboot's pace is. On top of that, some people may say that you're nitpicking every last detail of the original so you can give it a much lower rating.

Now I don't really believe in that counterargument but I decided to write it out for you so can debate it.

As for standalone viewing I can agree that this episode is not very good.
I also did rewatch the original's first episode just for reference and I can see how it does things way better the reboot. Like it being actually funny (mostly part 2 of the episode).

Overall thou I can understand your arguments on why my ratings for the original are null. I just wanted to give the reboot a shot.

She's a crow-goblin and human hybrid, rather than a pure blooded native crow goblin. It's relevant since her race are these tiny little crows (even the women). This means her samurai dad stuck his penis into one of these little crow ladies, and out popped Kurama. This might be why they had trouble finding a mate for her.

Tip: Patchouli's lasers don't hit you if you stand perfectly in center, the laser hitbox vanishes before it visually does. The fire projectiles also have a smaller hitbox on the sides and the way patchy shoots them always leaves big gaps between them, pay more attention to the smaller yellow projectiles there. Lastly, as I always recommend for EoSD, don't be afraid of bombing. The spellcards are RNG when it comes to density and speed due to the leftover PC-98 hidden rank system and some projectiles (especially Sakuya's knives) have a wonky hitbox that can hit you from a longer distance than you think.

Yeah, honestly, the fact that it killed the franchise is what got me to put it on fifth place, I originally had it as fourth and went "what do I even remember about this movie" and remembered my own personal bias of "being bland is worse than being bad". I don't care for movie 3 more than movie 6, but I don't /actively/ dislike either of them and I remember parts of movie 3, so that's why I placed it at a higher rank.

Lum the Forever's script is very messy, but the story is mostly straight forward and you can think of it as "Lum meets an Old One".

The tree holds the seal on a yokai that drains the lifeforce (seemingly the most important figure in town) to feed itself. By killing the tree, they unknowingly unleash this being and continues to grow until an Oni princess was able to calm it and a new tree planted to contain it. Only that it led to her eventual death.

The story in the present is a repeat of the cycle, and
Lum fufills the role of village elder and the Oni princess, so she gets her life force drained and is going to calm the being leading to her death. The being is initially an egg, then a fetus, and it seems very child like and wants a mother figure, only being child like it doesn't know limits and seems to kill its mother figure.

Have you played Demon's Souls (2009)? It's another HP Lovecraft inspired story, where a vastly powerful being can shape reality, but it's child like and it needs a mother to lull it to sleep to calm its vast power.

The being wants Lum to itself, so it tries to erase people's memories of Lum. Then after lum is drained, it starts sapping on Ten. The tree grows powerful enough that it starts producing a fog that when breathed in connects the dreaming person to the tree's power and manifests their dreams as reality.

Mendo figures this out and starts a war of the Zaibatsus to force everyone to wish that things went back to normal and to destroy the manifested dream worlds in the cross fire. It's hare brained but kinda works?

Ataru simply wishes for normalcy as well and jogs like Lum used to job. When he falls asleep and connects with the being he wishes for Lum back. The fetus like being finally understands, that Lum belongs to Ataru and the rest of the world, and relinquishes her and goes back to sleep. Presumably another tree will be planted on it to seal it.

As I said the script? Messy with pacing issues and the story is hard to follow. It likely got re-writes for more action (hense the ending war) when it should have stayed a spooky mystery story. The overall story might have worked better as an original story. If it was called "Legend of the Oni Princess" the film would likely be much better received and liked.

For plus sides: some amazing scenes, score, and animation sequences. Mendo's date with Shinobu and his dream sequence are highlights of the film.

The symbolism is pretty obvious: Urusei Yatsura anime is over so move on. The first thing the being manifests is Lum on a tv screen, and the last image we see is Lum on a tv screen that fades away. The series was over, and the film is meant to be the send-off to it and a message to the fanbase. The fantastical being birthed by felling the tree is representitive of the Urusei Yatsura fanbase, and their obsession with lum is unhealthy. Go out into the real world and find a real woman and let Lum go. For message, Evangelion has a similar meta message for anime otaku.

 No.2109

This is unsourced from imdb, so take it with a grain of salt, but it does make sense. The next film is a direct almost 1:1 adaption of the comic, and then the next film was made much, much, later. To confirm or deny this, you'd have to check anime magazines from around this time, and most certainly someone at some point would have commented on it. The promotional interviews for Final Chapter would be the most likely spot where this would come up.

Sadly there's very little scanning of proper anime magazines from the 80s. There's thousands upon thousands of them so I don't blame them.

Self explanatory. For me it would be three late 80s Studio Comet produced TV shows all with Hirosho Kanazawa as character designer and heavily involved as an animation director. I believe all three are manga adaptations, and they all have the similar kind of pudgy faced caricatured character designs that are really unique. High School Kimengumi, Tsuide ni Tonchinkan and Meimon! Daisan Yakyuubu. The latter two I watched raw, with Tsuide ( screenshots shown here) being a well executed slapstick comedy, albeit a bit repetitive. Meimon is an incredibly well done sports drama with storyboards that feel somewhat reminiscent of Dezaki, as it was his student, Hiroshi Fukutomi who directed it. The animation quality was outstandingly good and consistent, full of subtle weighty convincing motion during the baseball games. Kimengumi has its movie subbed and I enjoyed it, but the series has yet to be picked up.

Hunter X Hunter (1999) ranks in the top 10 best anime of all time in the lists of multiple decorated experts in the field of japanese visual arts the world over. It's so consensual, it's become a joke within the field to say you're hunterxhunterizing(1999) something when you try to argue something has unquestionable widespread appeal and exceptional quality of production and execution (the joke is sarcastic in tone because only Hunter X Hunter (1999) has ever been able to achieve it – it's like reminding the people arguing for the virtues of whatever they're defending exactly the standard they're trying to compare their stuff to).

Oshii used Mendo as a vector for his militerism fetish while the comic merely had him have some glasses wearing bodyguards. Did he go too far? The show makes Mendo a tad bit more menacing than perhaps Rumiko had intended. The two-parter where they're used by Mendo to try to thwart Atru from getting Lum back makes Mendo a bit of a Bond villain.

The Mendo Army: Good or bad? It was a nice excuse to see various bits of German hardware from the Wehrmacht or Bundeswehr from MP40s, Leopard 1A5. It basically vanishes after Oshii leaves.

I agree entirely. Sometimes people talk about Mendo's noble qualities and I can tell, they are approaching it from the anime.

I think it's just basic writing where you need foils. He overlaps with Lum and Ataru as a character. He is normally well meaning and polite like Lum, but Ataru angers him and you can see his sword strikes as similar to Lum's lightning. And like Ataru, he's a wannabe lady's man virgin.

Anime gives Mendo a bit of an edge, which culminates in the S2 finale where he kidnaps Lum under the guise of helping her and making her his bride. It's probably the most outright evil thing Mendo has done.

A better ending might have Lum and Ataru breakup, so Shinobu and Ataru decide to go through with the marriage after all. I would still have Lum and Ataru back together in the end. I'd probably have Shinobu and Mendo paired up.

Inaba breaks up the main dynamic of the cast.

If you can work it into the story and get some nice gags, then fine. I can see a nice story setup where Shinobu keeps cancelling on them, so Ataru and Mendo get suspicious and start stalking her. They then misinterpret what they see, thinking something much more sinister is going on, the boys paranoia reaches a fever pitch, and they strike out to save Shinobu from the clutches of evil, then after hijinks, it turns out she's dating some random and nothing sinister.

Literally anything better than god damn Inaba. I don't think that tool ever once stood up for himself and let Shinobu walk all over him. Ataru and Mendo would have both called out her bullshit.

Often overlooked, I think there's a lot of good retro anime based on historical events that get often overlooked. Let's have a thread about them.
I'll start with Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari, adapted from the 1868 novel Little Women about the lives of four sisters during the American Civil War.

These might not seem significant, but if it's not done it's rather noticeable and the absence is why a lot of modern productions (especially American) are very visually bland.

If the site goes back up, I'll probably redo it.

If you don't know what I am talking about, I dumped a few of Rumiko Takahashi's series on /a/ over the last year and a bit. Inuyasha was the most recent one.

I liked Nurse Angel Ririka a lot too and it's a shame it was apparently cut short. I'm interested in if the manga has any additional content (like the Tokimeki Tonight manga vs the anime) but based on the length, probably not.

The manga of Hime-chan no Ribbon is one of my favorite magical girl things. The anime is good too but doesn't have a good conclusion imo.

Don't think we've done a proper /vnt/ event yet, so for this month (running from April 3rd - May 3rd) we are doing a high score challenge for Touhou 6 (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)!
If you don't have this game, it's pretty easy to find with google or nyaa. I recommend using an English patch.
Very simple to participate - just upload a replay (results screenshot is optional). Make sure the replay is the only file you upload or it won't be attached (will try and fix this soon) Be nice. Don't cheat.
I've played this game a few times over the past few years, but have finally started to try and get decent enough to 1CC (still only on easy with max lives and bombs). I'm sure at least a few of you can beat this with higher difficulties.
Top players will be immortalized on a soon to be added static page.
If someone feels like making OC (not reposting existing stuff) they might get on that page too. Get shooting!

It's a little bit of everything. Aside from the gameplay, music, art (despite people poking fun at it), cute girls, and being in the right place at the right time on 2000s internet, I think it grew because the world is as open-ended as it is. There isn't a cool plot or any defining climax, and at the end of every incident everything goes back to the status quo, but that's why it's so appealing. Gensokyo is a world, not like those made by modern worldbuilders who over-detail everything from the start without any purpose and think they're going to be the next Tolkien, but like Wind in the Willows: a place you can daydream of, between old and new, between fantasy and reality, and as whimsical as can be. What you see in the games and writings is just a portrait, a brief snapshot of that world, but the rest is on the other side. Artists and writers and even completely unskilled fans latched onto that so they could explore it.
Seeing picrel this morning helped me put it into words. They're on some whimsical errand in their old-fashioned motor car, and you can imagine what happens before, during, and after. At the end, everything turns out fine. I daydream a lot, so this is all a personal view, but I think Touhou is something stronger than fantasy: it's a fairy tale. That's what makes it different and special.

If you want to see a small part of how it grew, here's an oekaki board that goes back to before PCB was released. It's fun seeing people make art for characters as they come out. https://coolier.net/oekaki/191.htm

You posted this on /a/, didn't you? I respect the grind. Here's a recipe I found on the Tabasco website that seems worth exploring.

Santa Fe Western Omelet Tacos

Ingredients:
>TABASCO® Green Jalapeño Sauce (3 tablespoons)
>Vegetable oil for deep-frying
>5 (8-inch) corn tortillas, cut in half
>15 large eggs
>1/4 cup half-and-half
>10 tablespoons olive oil, divided
>1 cup diced smoked ham
>1 cup diced red bell peppers
>1 cup diced onion
>1 cup diced, seeded tomatoes
>1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
>1/2 cup sliced green onions

Preparation:
>Heat vegetable oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or skillet; add tortillas a few at a time and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

>Combine eggs, half-and-half, and TABASCO® Green Sauce in a large bowl and beat until combined.

>Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons each of ham, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes and cook 1 minute; stir in 1/2 cup egg mixture. Cook until set, then flip.

>Sprinkle omelet with 2 tablespoons cheese and fold in half. Place one fried tortilla half on a plate and top with omelet; place another tortilla half on top. Repeat process with remaining ingredients. Serve omelets with sour cream and guacamole and sprinkle with green onions.

Not only are you never short of funds but she has a personal army and a UFO to boot. The downside is she will use these things against you if you upset her. She's not entirely used to earth customs, which can be an advantage and a disadvantage depending on your taste. she' also hawt as hell and not afraid to flaunt it. The downside is she appears to be some sort of sexual sadist who shows love by frying her darling with volts of electric. Her ability to fly and access to a UFO mean you'll never escape her. But I guess that's fine if your into masochism.

>EXHIBIT B. Shinobu
Cute, petite, and none of the alien stuff that make Lum so weird. She's not as good looking as either, a bit pasty and thin compared to Lum with breasts that'd make a lolicon drool. Cute over sexy. But Shinobu is confident, upstanding, intelligent, and usually clam. This makes her fairly reliable in serious situations that require the use of common sense and a functional human brain. Her earthly human family should be somewhat easier to deal with than Lum's. By far her worst drawback is her explosive temper and ability to throw around furniture like a pro wrestler. So much as glance at another girl and you'll risk a steel chair to the head.

So which will it be? Who do you choose? Is there someone else feeling left out?

Personally, I'd marry Lum for the political connections and make Shinobu my concubine, unless the Oni tolerate polygamy then she'll be our sweet co-wife as God intended.

There are definitely prettier boys in this anime. You should go for Mendou. He deserves it. The guy has a silver spoon up his ass so it will accommodate your chinpo nicely.

The original series premise is normal couple Shinobu and Ataru being accosted by "Urusei Yatsura" (obnoxious aliens), which then shifted to having Lum being more prominent but still as a foil for the couple. So the early stakes are how Ataru can reuinite with Shinobu. That's why the first OP is so heavy in focusing on this.

After that however, the series is retooled with Lum as the main heroine. Shinobu is now clearly not dating Ataru, but she's still in the series, often as one of the four main characters (with the addition of Mendo). Rumiko clearly doesn't want to ditch her, but she also doesn't know what to do with her.

Meanwhile if the anime for the first two seasons wants to fill time, they often give Shinobu or Mendo something to do. Shinobu has a lot of scenes where she's still scheming or seething at Lum, which is mostly gone in the manga.

So it's still weird to see the early series still play this up, and to see Shinobu even showing any damn interest in Ataru at all. She's still willing to make up with Ataru and is glad he's showing interest in her.

Later Shinobu is just another girl for Ataru to be leecherous towards, and then punish him with violence. There's almost no hints that they were going to get engaged.

Also as written originally: the space babes are exotic and sexually provocative, while the Japanese Shinobu is chaste and demure. There is meant to be a big contrast between the two, while later the line is much more blurred. Shinobu gets more outfits and fan service and Lum becomes quite chaste and innocent herself.

Is it me or does the online lain fandom miss the entire point of the show? I'm pretty sure the message isn't that Lain is a cyber goddess or pushing some kind of tech gnosticism or accelerationist pseudo-philosophy.

The general themes seem to be on Japanese family breakdown, lonliness and atomization, and technology causing a hyperreal breakdown of the world. There's also the conspiracy history of the internet being invented by aliens but also theological stuff about the soul and religion too, which I'm guessing is just added on as a way to create artificial depth.

No. Lain isn't making a metaphysical claim about the nature of reality. Its really more of a sociological point. In the past, we drew a line between reality and the representational world of print media and when computers became a thing we drew a line between irl and cyberspace. But now everyone's connected and always using the internet, stuff happens online and moves into the meatspace so the line bertween irl and cyberspace has become really blurry. The vast amount of unfiltered information makes it hard to know what's true or false so we end up confused and misled. You see this happen to Lain. She gets wrapped up with a hacker group online run by Masami, but it just turns out that Masami is trying to get revenge on his former employer and he seems to be luring teens into suicide for the fun of it. The narrator tells us Masami is dead but how do you know that's true? He sounds like an authority figure, you know those voice overs in documentaries, but it could easily be fake. Maybe Masami is dead and one of his flunkies is using his persona over the wired?

The tone of SEL is very negative. You see a kid playing a computer game not realizing his mom is dead, the power lines and machines are always dark and scary looking, Lain's entire family is dysfunctional. Her father is addicted to his computer, her mother is cold and distant, her sister is living a double life having sex with older men, and Lain starts acting cruel towards Arisu for the thrill of it. There's hamfisted alien imagery that symbolizes how tech is like an invader colonizing our lives and conspiracies about human experiments. The show is mourning the loss of a more traditional Japan so its not accelarationist.

The movie is REALLY cool, but the script is messy and it probably would have worked better without the UY branding. It's quite artistic and cinematic, with a very unusual storyline and messy script so it completely alienates the UY fanbase, and people outside the fandom won't see it simply because they think they need to see the rest of the series, or the series doesn't interest them.

I think if it was called "Legend of the Oni Princess" it would probably have more discussion among mainstream film critics.

Taking a shot in the dark here to see if anybody might be able to lead me in the right direction.
Im trying to find complete raw in any video format of the original broadcast version of the Hellsing TV anime. If you are not familiar with what that is the show originally had many scenes redone for what i guess was more "consistentcy" after it aired and for home release. This isnt about what is better just interested in something complete to watch.
I found a few random episodes here and there but not the whole show complete or unsubbed/dubbed.
Obviously some sub groups back in the day had them for their uploads but those groups are all dead and gone, nyaa doesnt seem to have it and all the resources i use to look for older stuff has dried up.

I don't know if this is much help. But there's this Youtuber called Johnny Joestar who worked on making remasters of some of Ishii's unreleased tracks for Hellsing (i.e. Golden Ball Heaven) and he even collaborated with Ishii to make some original tracks.
Anyhow a while back he did a comparison video of the old broadcast footage and the final version. And in a followup video he mentioned that the broadcast footage was on Japanese DVDs before the "Rescript" versions. And that a youtuber named Shockwave984
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3nvXEz2MXA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0X7bCwE9aE
However, unfortunately, some people in the comments mention that this DVD doesn't actually contain broadcast footage, and it only appears this way due to the fact that the promotional art of the DVD uses screencaps from the broadcast footage.
So unfortunately, the broadcast footage might be lost media. I definitely remember seeing the old footage used in some AMVs and it's how Johnny Joestar got a lot of his footage, but I don't know if we'll ever find the full uncut versions of every episode. You might have better luck with the Lost Media Wiki.

Thanks for the reply.
As you can see in >>502 for the rescript releases they came out right after the series ended its initial broadcast run. This is the earliest release out of all the domestic and foreign releases of Hellsing TV.
However, they definately dont contain the broadcast version.
All the broadcast episodes i found on Veoh by dead fansubbers right before it died so if there was any more there its gone now.
Such a shame really.

 No.804

>>802
Then yeah, unfortunately it would seem that you'd have better luck going to the Lost Media Wiki and asking there given how good their track record is at finding stuff like this. There is a chance someone might have the episodes in their hard drive somewhere, I think it's the best/last shot for now.
Part of me wants to say that there's a chance that some obscure Hellsing fansite has it. But at the same time, I think Hellsing's popularity in the west only really got traction after the Rescript DVD already released, so that's the only thing that makes me think otherwise. But still worth a shot. Plus given we have documentation like AMVs and comparison images ( >>372 )
and whatnot, I think there's definitely SOME chance someone still has all the broadcast era episodes. I know it's pretty redundant to mention, but I think these are the only possible leads I can think of.
The other last (but unlikely) possibility is some of the foreign fansubs. Since I am fluent in Italian, I could also try looking into some Italian sites regarding the Knights fansub group mentioned before, but I doubt I'll find much. But I'll also try and see if I can find anything there, even if I think it'll probably be a dead-end.

 No.805

>>804

When i looked into it i believe soldats was the only group that fansubbed all 13 episodes. The eastern european groups i found episodes of had soldats on them so they subbed over their rips.
I believe knights only did the first one and stopped.

Nevermind, after digging around some more, I found even older 2hu fan content. First pic was made 8 days before the release of EoSD promoting its launch. You can check out this archived japanese fan page here: https://web.archive.org/web/20020803184126/http://nightlights.atarashi.com/zun/
This website also featured arrangements of the PC-98 game soundtracks, a really rare PC-98 era Touhou fan site.

There's also the second picture which I found at an archived Japanese imageboard thread dating back to August 24, 2002, if anyone is curious about it as well, you can read it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20021005182251fw_/http://merkmal-2nd.hp.infoseek.co.jp/allroom.html

Not really art related but on a sidenote, I also found an archive of this fan website that featured a MIDI arrangement of Shinki's theme song that was released in 2000 but made in 1999 https://web.archive.org/web/20001030145224/http://www2.plala.or.jp:80/joter/midi.htm
