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.

Or weird cross overs in general.

I'm writing a lit-rpg and I want your opinions on the matter, Wapchan! The attached PDF contains the first three chapters (the first part of the prologue).

Plot/Query Letter: The young Rinaldo Di Mario never asked to be the scion of the Di Mario Family, the current rulers of the Free City of Maria—the wealthiest city on Earth. His dream was to live a peaceful life, spending his days reading books and playing with his little black cat. However, his surname attracted many enemies, and after yet another assassination attempt, he realized that wealth and power were not worth the constant stress. Thus, he faked his death and started a new life in the one place no one would ever think to look for a Marian—the magical Miraval Academy.

Magic interconnects everything. From the largest monster to the smallest molecule, Mana flows freely through their masses, destroying every limit imposed by the gray laws of physics. Hence, everyone can use magic to some degree, but only the few blessed by the Chaotic Gods can grasp its true depths—the Essentias.

Thanks to their unmatched powers, Essentias rule over the Holy Rolandish Empire—the most powerful nation in the world—as a de facto ruling caste. To secure their roles within their elitist society, each of them is nurtured at the prestigious Miraval Academy, where the young mages are trained to master their abilities. However, among the Essentias a rigid hierarchy exists, which divides them according to their power—Class S are revered as gods, while Class F are treated as human trash by the higher ranks. Consequently, on their first day at the Academy, the Class Assignment determines whether their life will be remembered as a tragedy or a glorious legend. There, Rinaldo shatters every record by becoming the weakest Essentia in history—an FFF-Class 'Javelinist.'

If being doomed to a life worse than mediocrity wasn’t bad enough, the worst is yet to come. Enduring the eccentricities of his fellow noble classmates, uncovering a millennia-old secret organization plotting to destabilize the world, and surviving a war between two superpowers—these events are just the beginning of the unlucky life of the soon-to-be antagonist of this tale.

P.S.:If you click on the underlined words, you will get a nice surprise.

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.

May or may not include Lum.

Best girl by a mile. Sleek, wholesome, driven. Everything you want in a gal.

Sakura Sensei is so cool, so mature, so gorgeous.

No matter where /kind/ goes it's always good to keep traditions.

I have never seen a full collection of promotional art. Does one even exist?

Here's the thread this board was missing. Let's talk about Made in Abyss.

Post your favorite flash or even your own creations!

What ails you, friend? Let it out!

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.
