And now, Houraisai is no more with 4.5 this Sunday being their last, and once more, the state of main 2hu event event in korea falls into uncertainty as it has been since 2009 or so. Although, with how the state of 2hu main event having been stable since post-pandemic era starting in 2023...
Hmm, I guess it is true like you said, where outside of their presence in comiket, BA will never reach reitaisai's scale in terms of only-events.
And this is what we're seeing in the bubble period, no matter how much nexon tries to prop it up with offline events in japan. (the same couldn't be...
This thread has been a while, but some of my thoughts:
The real deal seems to be the Blue Archive fes they hold yearly, which as seen on "overworked salaryman"'s channel, is really huge, and it might outscale Reitaisai at one point (although I can't find the number of visitors on any website)...
What did they mean by being disrespectful to the lore? ...and Toyohime..?
I guess by lore, they mean how things like data and ai aren't relics of the past, and doesn't make sense for them to be so prominent in gensokyo. But Toyohime doesn't seem to be portrayed any more negatively or positively...
Alright, besides the expected complaint about Ai, have you seen any other unusual takes from the chinese that you may not find on even the Japanese fans or /jp/?
...and yeah, now that you said it, Ariya does look like she belongs in Lenen.
It's funny and sad being a touhou fan in South korea; despite how the country is supposed to be the 4th most prominent fanbase (after jp, ch, and en), and how developed the otaku culture (to the point it has a specific label: subculture 서브컬쳐), whenever I talk to those within the fellow otaku...
Very unusual for what's supposed to represent the touhou event in China. Is this because of what Vanyk mentioned, where you can find those in plenty of other touhou events across China?
I really don't think they should've made the trailer and opening in separate videos for each and every language; it's not like they're dubbed in different languages anyway.
And 20 minutes every 6 to 12 months is pretty fast, considering how I don't think Manpuku Jinja ever managed to release a...
that reminds me, why hasn't thbwiki seemingly been unable to record the number of circles for it since post pandemic? Can I ask if there's somewhere else that managed to record the number of circles for the china's largest touhou convention?
Alright, I know I already asked in discord (and I know how your work isn't helping), but I still wanted to ask again:
Can Fate and Type Moon as a whole be considered more or less popular than Touhou in china as a whole? Since you know in-depth about china's acgn markets, I thought you may know...
That's just so childish, and honestly speaking, way scummier than any wrongs the Houraisai group in Korea, and even Mikotan and Touhoufest has done, since this is unjustified hostility than simple incompetence or lack of foresight. And they could've simply told them to make the event name more...
yes, I follow the dude, but I'm not interested in him that much, since the dude posts a lot of korean political stuff and doesn't seem to really have a role in the korean fandom.
It also looks like houraisai is hosting 4.5 later this month to "rectify their previous wrongdoing", where it looks...
Alright, I asked the person, and she said there's seemingly never been a Touhou convention in Russia, making this the first one ever, and had around 180 visitors (so not much).
And about the Korean Touhou scene, sorry, I haven't visite the conventions much, and I'd have to talk to this and this...
Aw geez, all of this, while the Russia has seemingly just managed to get their "flagship" event in Moscow, seemingly since early 2025. I'm trying to ask the people there to see if there were ever any Russian events before this, since Korea has been plagued by inconsistent Touhou events by bunch...
That's why I said Nintendo, not "open world triple a game with 300+ million dollar budget with 8k ray-tracing graphics and 10,000 hours of content", since Nintendo does try to make sure that their forefront (non-Pokemon) titles prioritize innovative gameplay, instead of being a walking-simulator...
I think it's time to ask what you would do with Touhou in your hands?
I, for one, controversial as it is, would make it a global mainstream franchises with proper seasonal anime and nintendo triple a game releases that people can keep track of (instead of this convoluted string of niche shmups...
It was this post, when they were taking about touhou hot takes. But more importantly to the topic, take a look at his hypocrical statement:
P.s, sorry, I mistook on the Meiling stuff. You know how Meiling was fan-nicknamed as China? According to this article, it was that he didn't know the...
