    Release Information Type: Bullet Hell Developer: Team Shanghai Alice Publisher: Team Shanghai Alice Release: September 22, 2002 Language: English-Patched (Touhou Patch Center/THCRAP) Silhouette On Cover: Flandre Scarlet (Extra Boss) Character Information Playable Characters: 2 (Reimu, Marisa) Shot Types: 2 Each POC: Requires Max Power Description A thick scarlet mist is covering Gensokyo; it blocks out the sun, which causes affected areas to become cold. Our heroines believe the culprit lives in the newly-materialized Scarlet Devil Mansion, and so they depart with the goal of “questioning” those who live there. Mods * Retexture Patch This replaces all the imagery in the game with crisper, higher-resolution textures. Sprites are also updated with those from newer games. You pick between versions where the hitbox is never visible (as in vanilla) or always visible. * Focus-Only Hitbox Patch A patch that causes your hitbox to become visible when you’re Focusing (the behavior of all games after this one). (I don’t know if this is compatible with the Retex Patch.) Unique Gameplay Mechanics * This is the only Windows game where you cannot see your hitbox while focusing. Rank *A hidden value between 0 and 32, higher rank values increase bullet speed and the amount of bullets, having the most prominent effects in boss attacks. *Rank goes up as time surviving goes on and goes up dramatically with spell card caps. *Rank goes down by 16 when you are hit, not killed but hit, meaning a deathbomb WILL decrease rank. Some spellcards decrease rank when bombed IE Water Elf. Scorefile * This scorefile was provided by an unknown source. * It has true 100% completion status; Extra is unlocked for all characters and shot types. Th06 Scorefile (EoSD).zip

  2. Recently, I have found a surprisingly interesting thread on r/touhou in regards to the history of Touhou popularity polls. Therefore, I would like to share it in here. I might add a few notes here and there, but I will try to keep this mostly the same way the original author wrote it. Every Touhou Popularity Poll Important Infos and Analysis (2003~2021) https://namu.wiki/w/%EB%8F%99%EB%B0%A9%20%EC%9C%84%ED%82%A4%20%EC%9D%B8%EA%B8%B0%ED%88%AC%ED%91%9C So in Korean wiki, there is a section of every Touhou Popularity Poll votes and info and analysis written by various people throughout the years but unfortunately, all of it is in Korean. So I decided to translate all of it by myself. It's worth it because most of them are fun to read. NOTE - There may be some info that is wrong or incorrect. Before I get started, there are some basic information and sites you have to see first. https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Project_Popularity_Poll Official HomePage - https://toho-vote.info/ Past Touhou Popularity Poll Results - https://toho-vote.info/results Official Twitter - https://twitter.com/toho_vote This year Touhou Popularity Poll starts in 2022-09-17 00:00 ~ 2022-09-24 20:00 (probably in JST) Newest Poll (2021) Fraud Correction - https://maribelhearn.com/thvote/extras#fraud Newer characters are becoming harder to get into high ranks (1~20) at first time so nowadays it's very rare to see a sudden star character debut. Highest debut ranks 1 - Hata no Kokoro ranked 15 at 10th poll. Highest debut ranks 2 - Kishin Sagume ranked 14 at 12th poll. Highest debut ranks 3 - Yorigami Shion ranked 15 at 15th poll. Honor of Fame 1 - 1~11th because all the characters in here never changed dramatically ever since 11th poll. (Reimu - Marisa - Koishi - Youmu - Sakuya - Flandre - Remilia - Satori - Alice - Mokou - Aya) Honor of Fame 2 - In recent polls, Remilia theme and Flandre theme almost always gets in the 1st or 2nd place in the music category, so you can consider the 3rd place as 1st, since that place frequently changes. (generally considered as) Highest Rank Gatekeeper - Hong Meiling (generally considered as) Middle Rank Gatekeeper - https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Jinyou Voting for Touhou official works started in 12th poll and after that, the 1st~6th rank is literally always the same. (TH6 EoSD - TH8 IN - TH7 PCB - TH10 MoF - TH11 SA - TH15 LoLK) There is a funny meme called Aki Sand ( 秋サンド ), because Aki sisters from Mountain of Faith are not famous and has low popularity so, it became a basic criteria of who is unpopular, and who is between them. [by "sand", the author most likely referred to the (in)famous "Aki Sandwitch" usually forming in the popularity poll (CVN's note)] 5th Okazaki Yumemi First Aki Sand 6th X Both sisters stuck 49th and 50th 7th Kaenbyou Rin 47th 8th Daiyousei 47th 9th X Both sisters stuck 51th and 52th NicoNico Popularity Poll Eirin, Koakuma, Yamame Aki Big Mac 10th Rinnosuke 65th 11th Okazaki Yumemi Yumemi Aki Sand 2nd time 12th Okazaki Yumemi Yumemi Aki Sand 3rd time 13th Lunasa Prismriver 77th 14th Lunasa, Rinnosuke, Toramaru Shou, Teireida Mai Aki Mega Mac 15th Shinki, Yumemi Yumemi Aki Sand 4th time 16th X Both sisters stucked 96th and 97th 17th (Fraud correction) X Both sisters stucked 93th and 94th (Literally Yumemi became a strawberry sand) And so it begins. 1st Touhou Popularity Poll (2003-02-13 ~ 2003-04-06) Character 1 Izayoi Sakuya 95 1 Kirisame Marisa 95 3 Hakurei Reimu 61 4 Cirno 51 5 Patchouli Knowledge 46 Music 1 Septette for the Dead Princess 81 2 U.N.

The poll period was quite long because character voting period and music voting period was done in a different dates. You could vote the characters from Touhou old works from PC-98 era and Seihou project. You could 1 vote for 3. You couldn't 'choose' the voting category, you had to write it down. (More correctly, the very first voter had to write the category.) So, the 0 voted category couldn't get in the results. 2nd Touhou Popularity Poll (2003-09-14 ~ 2003-09-27) Character 1 Izayoi Sakuya 564 2 Kirisame Marisa 532 3 Hakurei Reimu 293 4 Prismriver Sisters 260 5 Konpaku Youmu 254 Music 1 Phantom Ensemble 448 2 Septette for the Dead Princess 383 3 U.N.

(Battle Royale by fans) Characters from secondary creation was also possible to vote. Highest Total Votes EVER = 52117 3rd Touhou Popularity Poll (2004-10-17 ~ 2004-10-23) Character 1 Kirisame Marisa 2284 2 Konpaku Youmu 1802 3 Izayoi Sakuya 1746 4 Saigyouzi Yuyuko 1502 5 Reisen Udongein Inaba 1482 Music 1 Bloom Nobly, Ink-Black Cherry Blossoms ~ Border of Life 448 2 Love-coloured Master Spark 383 3 Phantom Ensemble 357 4 Necrofantasia 334 5 U.N.

Same as last time, Music was 1 vote for 5. Marisa won the 1st. Disappearance of Hakurei Reimu. (6th) Prismriver Sisters became a separated categories starting this poll. Udongein got a nickname called '新参ホイホイ' (Newcomer Hoi Hoi) which was a negative meaning because many newcomers who got into Touhou were attracted by Udongein. (oldbie - newbie enmity) ["Newcomer Hoi Hoi", based on the description, might be an alternative name for "newcomer bait", which is alternatively used for characters like Reisen (CVN's note)] 4th Touhou Popularity Poll (2005-12-18 ~ 2005-12-24) Character 1 Kirisame Marisa 1301 2 Hakurei Reimu 1245 3 Izayoi Sakuya 1165 4 Saigyouzi Yuyuko 919 5 Alice Margatroid 895 Music 1 Bloom Nobly, Ink-Black Cherry Blossoms ~ Border of Life 1210 2 Wind God Girl 951 3 U.N.

The number of votes in the character category increased to 5 while maintaining the recommended vote method. (1st - 2 votes, 2~5th - 1 vote) Hakurei Reimu won the 1st for the first time. Shameimaru Aya was super popular in nico nico and Pixiv and won the 3rd. 'Newcomer Hoi Hoi' meaning was changed into 'new character that's popular in nico nico or Pixiv'. So 2nd newcomer hoi hoi = Aya 6th Touhou Popularity Poll (2009-01-18 ~ 2009-01-24) Character 1 Hakurei Reimu 5739 2 Izayoi Sakuya 5433 3 Kirisame Marisa 5380 4 Kochiya Sanae 5315 5 Remilia Scarlet 4945 Music 1 Septette for the Dead Princess 4896 2 Bloom Nobly, Ink-Black Cherry Blossoms ~ Border of Life 4831 3 U.N.

Fraud Correction Result - https://maribelhearn.com/thvote/extras#fraud Video worthy of watching - https://youtu.be/6djt62Bq6js - 18th Touhou Popularity Poll (2022-09-17 ~ 2022-09-24) [Soon] This section is some of my analysis after writing down all of these. Dramatic debut by new characters is very rare to see (ex Sagume) but if that character appears more in official works and became famous, it can make a breakthrough in the highest rank (ex Koishi). In case of music rank, if a certain music gets good evaluation and become famous, it shows in the poll almost right away since some reached the 3rd~4th rank.

  3. How is the rating system working in the media of your country? This is how it does here in Romania. To be honest, I find it much easier than the PG system, with all of its subdivisions. I think this image explains it much better than I ever could. And for anyone curious, the NAC (CNA in Romanian - Consiliul Național al Audiovizualului, basically take it as the local equivalent of the American FCC) is the official regulatory agency for the audio-visual market (radio, television) in Romania. "Television broadcasts and cable television, frequency allocations, content monitoring and license allocation are done by the CNA, that is the main regulatory authority for the broadcast media in Romania. The appointments to its board are politicized, and the body thus often acts in a biased and ineffective way.” (source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Audiovisual_Council) few more notes about Romania: - most of the colors for ratings are no longer used, preferring to go with a small sized semi-transparent/white logo on the bottom of the screen; only anything 18+ still maintains the color red, but it's not always happening, and there are few such programmes even being broadcasted (pornography is close to non-existent on Romanian TV programmes, and horror movies are either mostly on the foreign TV channels, or are rated 15+) - despite the rules, most of the pre-2000 Romanian movies are rated as AP/Parental Approval, no matter the content; that is why movies containing violence, nudity or sex can be broadcasted in the middle of day, as long as they are old movies (to be honest, kind of a strange move), and it explains why some of the bizarre Romanian movies of the 90s can be seen by anyone (bit of context: after 1989, the heavily oppress Romanian cinematography suddenly got full liberty to explore whatever would have been censored by the communist regime; this way, we got some utterly bizarre, some times very violent, full of sex and most of the time just of poor fashion movies, trend that continued until the early 2000s)
