/jp/ - Otaku Culture

people dont believe like it is but it do

>>26437249
Probably because according to google, Touhou 1 was released on November of 1996.

>>26437249
Because this is /jp/ - Hololive Generals

I'm surprised the Haniwa is popular enough to be included in that lineup.

>>26437249
>was originally created for the very purpose of the containment of Touhou threads?
Retcon. Touhou was an afterthought

>>26437903
They are pushing her because she is the rare case of a newhu that has chances of becoming popular.

Ganbatte, Mayumi-chan!

>>26438068
what? moots literal first post on the board indicates the board is for Touhou along with visual novels, doujinsoft, and buyfag shit

>>26438068
absolutely wrong lmao

probably because the big stream isn't for a few more weeks
that said /jp/ is pitifully slow these days and a thread probably won't even be made until the event is halfway over like what happened on the concert stream

>>26438106
Ufufu

>>26438343
/v/ had a good thread about it that time that was decent quality and easily reached bump-limit. It's not that 2hu discussion is dead, it just doesn't happens on /jp/

>>26438517
The CDS thread here lasted weeks. Threads don't need to be fast to have good discussion and I would wager most people here don't want to fucking talk to /v/ or /vg/ posters

>>26438786
yeah but the manga threads are pretty shit too

>>26438786
remember the Lotus Eaters thread where about 300 posts were just arguing about wings? I don't think /jp/ posters can be said to be much better than /v/ posters
/vg/ posters belong in the trash, as per usual though

has it really been a quarter of century

>>26439353
It's 4chan, the point is not (or should not be) to not be shitty, every thread everywhere is shit. People getting buttmad about whether Aya having wings in a canon comic means that Aya canonically has wings is absurd and hilarious.

>>26438786
/v/ has nice 2hu threads once in a while. The posters are immature, but they do make an effort to have civilized threads sometimes.
/vg/ is really irredeemable though.

>>26437249
PC-98 Reimu and Marisa aren't literally purple, it's just the cover's color scheme!

>>26439994
That's a silly, defeatist and poisonous mentality that has lead to the ironic hellscape we see today, where conversation and threads are only hollow posturing and nothing is really being said. Where anything sincere or different gets buried by lulzy but stale groupthink. It is far better and more rewarding to make an effort to be genuine, even when surrounded by shit. If anything to prevent another corner of the Internet from looking and acting exactly the same as every social media website.

>>26440713
Elf-eared Yatsuhashi is unexpected, but welcome.

>>26438258
Yeah I remember the

>touhou hijack LOL

being the cause of creating this board

>>26440993
I Think PC98 Marisa looks better than Windows Marisa

>>26441173
It's the sleeves, isn't it?

is it bad if i dont like 2hu as much as i used to?

>>26441207
You can just obsess about something for so long. Once you read everything there is to read, play all the games, fangames, read the manga, books, fap to all the girls, etc, etc. You end up with not much else new to do with it. New things are fun and exciting, while older things which used to be exciting, while they are still the same, are just not that fun anymore since you know them so well. You've already enjoyed them and are ready to move on.

I still like Touhou a lot, but I'm not obsessed about it anymore, which is natural considering we're in a thread about the 25th aniversary of the series. I think it's good to make the distinction between liking something and being obsessed about it. I'll always like 2hu, but I'm not going to be obsessed about it anymore like I was 10 years ago.

Anyone have scans for each pics?

>>26441680
Yes
I need the thunder thighs Mayumi pic

>>26438068
nigga we gonna send you back to 2008 for a history lesson

>>26441638
i feel like im an enemy to /jp/ since i like both holo and 2hu.

whats a touhou

>>26440869
>>26440713
>Elf-eared Yatsuhashi
wtf? Did the phony they hired even look at her official art?

>>26441885
There's literally nothing wrong about liking vtuber stuff, it just needs its own board.

>>26441638
I've made a goal to draw every 2hu in revealing order to know about them, then afterward would be making doujins then finally attending Comiket/Reitaisai as my final contribution to the fandom
but then I've read so many doujins, listened to so much music that my interest is waning just as I'm starting on 8
please someone help me regain my old enthusiasm

When will 17.5 come out?

>>26442037
Honestly just take a break. Focus on something else or you'll just end up crashing and burning. I've taken breaks too and my interest in the series wanes and rises. I've stopped posting about 2hu stuff for a more than a year then suddenly something clicks and next day I'm multitasking to participate in 5 different Touhou threads all over the site's different boards.

>>26442270
>5 different Touhou threads all over the site's different boards.
then you realized nothing had changed since the day you left
Would have been great if that wasn't the case, but I've had many breaks in many fandoms in media, games, etc. And whenever I made a comeback, things were just the same. Same shitposters, same image dumps, same complaints, same old inane arguments.
>for a more than a year
oh
my breaks are like 6 months only
maybe 1 year+ break doesn't sound that bad

>>26440648
>>26440713
where do i get those chibi.png

little quirk they add I supposed, not like her ears were the defining characteristics

yeah shes super cute. would perform unholy rituals with

>>26440628
4chan has always been an ironic hellscape. People have been saying "(4chan) was never good" in some capacity since 2004.

>>26438517
I prefer /jp/s slow pace with distinct threads that last for days or weeks and are focused on specific aspects of this multimedia franchise rather than a big catch-all "touhou general" thread with a bunch of people trying to talk about different things. hitting bump limit means nothing to me and has no bearing on the quality of a thread.

>>26444490
Not him just passing by but if that were true, anons wouldn't try to drive away tripfags much less fight against it. This kinda cancer in the end destroyed the place from inside out what led to the results that we see today.

How do I get into this franchise if I suck at video games? Any manga or anime maybe? I couldn't find much.

>>26446867
the music its a great way to get into it

>>26446959
Thanks, I have listened to some of it and it's great. How do I learn about the characters, though?

>>26446994
find the ones whose themes or character design strike you the most and skim a wiki article on them

>>26445532
It has nothing to do with tripfags though. If anything it's the opposite. An anonymous forum is no place to have a cogent A-B conversation. You have no idea what reply is coming from who.

>>26447935
Will do, thank you.

>The 1st game in the series, released on August 15, 1997
According to Wikipedia. The 1996 was also mentioned but was not the release date. This may surprise you, but google is a terrible search engine.

>>26437559
Well, strictly speaking the ad says Touhou had entered its 25th year, but it was still odd there was no fucking thread.
I'm really no die-hard, but Touhou has always been a refreshing franchise to follow - even without going fanatic about it.

>>26450113
>google is a terrible search engine
It's not, it does an amazing job compared to, say, Bing or Yahoo.
Also, if you had experienced the turn of the century on the web, you would know what a leap ahead Google was at the time.
Google acquired its market position not with cheap tricks, but because it actually was the best thing to search the web with.
There are small alternatives that do a comparable job to Google, while preserving privacy, but Google does an amazing job.

>>26450492
Search engines have their strong points.
Bing excels at porn.
Google excels at abstract/non-specific questions
DuckDuckGo excels are specific searches
Yahoo... I've no idea actually. I'd assume shopping maybe?

>>26443212
>can buy a set of all the character keychains for 38100 yen
what the actual fuck would you do with a hundred and twenty seven keychains

>>26446867
Yeah, there's official manga and some short books

>>26437249
You know why, anon.

>>26439353
You realize theres a faggot who shows up specifically whenever Aya becomes a talking point for the sake of stirring conflict correct?
He only ever shows up when she is seen with or without wings.
Same for that one fag who showed up to meta threads to shitpost when they were frequent.

>>26437559
>>26450113
Using those dates, we have about a year (months) or two left.
I don't know why they're toting 25 years if it released in the mid or later months of the years mentioned.

>>26452308
Two reasons, first is they might be counting the time ZUN released the original build in college before selling it later. Second, and more likely, since this whole 25th anniversary thing is being pushed by Mystery Sponsor X who are very likely to be DeNA this is all part of a promotional event for their upcoming gacha.

>>26452308
The left is ENG, the right is JPY
>>26452442
Likely, but I fucking hate gacha. It needs to die already.

>>26452844
now that I think about that ranking, we only know of the oni devas Kasen, Yuugi, and Suika. The only thing that could be above them is Heck, who is one of a kind as it stands.

>>26451091
Collecting probably, there are worse buyfag stuff

>>26448035
So innocent. Or is it just corruption?

The only corruption is ZUN approving gacha/mobage. The end has already begun.

>>26464868
The most recent gacha died the other day, didn't it?
Also, "the end" of Touhou began almost 25 years ago, and it will probably go on ending for a while.

>>26437249
Because this is a vtuber board now.

CB? That's next month.

>>26476869
Sorry old man, get with the times or get out of /jp/

>>26477146
I'm pretty sure you'll be doing that sooner than I will.

>>26441104
i still go on /a/ and make random touhou shitpost thread, it stays up for hours and some even make it to bump limit

touhou is piss

>>26483153
Why shitpost threads? There are people there who're genuinely into Touhou.

>>26476762
CB died but totally-not-DeNA is going to announce a new gacha next month.

>>26453119
People never actually put these on their keys, right?

>>26501042
No, haha

>>26441638
This is basically how I feel. The series means a lot to me in pretty much every way a piece of fiction can, and will follow me until the end of my life, but I'm not always going to be as obsessed about it as I was all those years ago.
>>26441885
And you're probably correct. It's well-deserved hate though I'm not directing it at you personally, just the place you hopefully don't post in.

>>26476762
Fool.

>>26476887
Holy, CB really died? Good riddance.

>>26443212
Yuuka has two keychains!

Um, but this is a hololive board?

I wonder if touhou would be more active if less games had been released. It sounds counterintuitive but burnout gets stronger with continued exposure. The series is 25 years old but if we count the .X side games there are more than 25 games in the series.

More than one game a year for a series is pretty nuts.

Then again constant exposure is what a lot of series try to go for.

wow so this is what touhou is about huh
fucking keychains ?!?!?! wow this is so friggin epic all those other doujin circles dont even have the same level of quality as 2hu does

>>26561100
coffee is good for you

>>26561909
Tastes like dirt...literally...

>>26561061
>more active
Christ, how active do you want touhou to be?

>>26559766
>>26561100
Fuck off.

>>26565679
let them scream. nobody can hear them.

>>26495989
because /a/ is not the place of touhou discussion so i shitpost to annoy the mods.

>>26452442
If you were here for the 20th anniversary stream after LoLK released you'd know it occurred at the same time. It's the first reason, when ZUN released the game initially in college iirc.

>>26451181
Those character design are so damn generic, they just all look the same

>>26565679
fuck off touhou cultist
your franchise is shit

laughable philistine

>>26451181
Which of these makes nu-/jp/ shit their pants more?

>the amount of hololive vs the amount of 2hu threads

idk, still looks like the Touhou board to me.

>>26598309
Who are you quoting?

>>26437249
>25 years
>STILL NO MIMA

Fuck off mate, I drop this shit

>>26599411
She's not coming back.

>>26599411
Shut up. I feel it in my bones

>>26438106
but clownpy and shion turned out to be pretty popular

>>26440648
>>26440713
Was Sagume/doremy really that big of a flop. I never see them anywhere

>>26600875
Sagume still ranks well in polls, second highest of the LoLK cast after Junko I think. Doremy got huge boost when AoCF then fall down almost as hard
That said they're still a decently popular ship

>>26593529
>they just all look the same
They really don't. They're all designed by different artists.

The live stage dress is what makes them all look similar there.

>>26601777
They don't, except when they do.
Okay.

>>26601948
Touhous would look the same too if you took their hats and put them all in the same dress.

>>26602469
Keep defending your idolshit, I suppose it's all your ilk's got.
Though thinking about it, I remember hearing one of these girls is designed by someone whose literally drawn the exact same character for years and years, so that's not exactly a good point in their favor either. Think it's the red maid or the white fox.

>>26437249
2hus are old and busted.

We all talk about vtubers now.

>>26602883
You're making some assumptions about me there friend.

>>26593529
>>26601948
>>26602883
I hate idols and hololive, but coming from someone who draws, those are definitely variants of the same set. Just look at the boots + half dresses that signify their "signature color".
Artist prob got a contract to "hey, draw these girls in somewhat similar outfits but still retain their unique flavours, k?"
Don't look into it too much, because when you do, you look like a jerk.
Still prefer touhou.

>>26604675
Those aren't their normal character designs, they're all dressed in a similar outfit for an occasion.

>>26604764
i didn't say otherwise

>>26599411
Someone hasn't been reading detective satori

>>26603006
Go back to your containment thread

>>26451181
That place looks familiar.

Mayumi WILL be playable in th18. Screencap this.

2hu is reclining

While you escort that anon there, stay there with him.
