    Any hot takes/shitty takes about Touhou songs, (principally) official songs or circle rearrangements?

    Personally, it is how well each soundtrack collectively fits to its theme and immerses me in the setting of that particular Touhou game. PCB has very lofty Asian sounds, IN is deeper and more serious which fits the feeling of rushing against the clock, MoF sort of gets darker as you go deeper...

    Love Akatsuki. Stack does great stuff with her voice. They are another circle that people are way too hard on. IOSYS gets a lot of recognition because they got into that game early with a lot of good quality PMVs. You have a lot of people who barely know Touhou that knew IOSYS songs because...

    Any hot takes/shitty takes about Touhou songs, (principally) official songs or circle rearrangements?

    So funnily enough, Maron is credited as working on that arrangement along with BeatMario (the new one, at least). Maron is actually part of IOSYS. So I find it pretty ironic that in looking to suggest a song that is better than IOSYS' fare you picked one that was arranged by an IOSYS composer...

    What are some of your favorite Touhous in the series?

    Youmu and Yuyuko as a pair are definitely my favorites at the moment. They just have a really funny dynamic, with Youmu's earnest naivety and Yuyuko's clever teasing. Something that you touched on that I really notice is that the "fandom" version of Yuyuko is pretty lacking. Those who see her...

    Any hot takes/shitty takes about Touhou songs, (principally) official songs or circle rearrangements?

    Not to their level of effort and skill. It's sort of an amorphous descriptor, of course. If you have counter-examples of arrangers who also capture that goofy character-scenario type of music, or alternatively better Touhou Denpa artists, I'd be really curious to compare and contrast quality...

    Any hot takes/shitty takes about Touhou songs, (principally) official songs or circle rearrangements?

    I've heard this before, and I can understand calling it overrated, but I feel like their sounds are too unique to call them "below mediocre." I think that they are polarizing enough that you can hate their songs or love their songs, but I think that they do something pretty special that most...

    Am I the only one who finds the third generation Touhou cast to be useless?

    Alrighty, I think that you folks are being a bit too harsh on Touhou's game writing. I think that we need to consider the genre and game formatting here when we make judgement on the stories told. I think that one of ZUN's greatest skills is how much each element in his games incorporate...

    Hey folks just wanted to say that I run into this same issue with the same error myself. I can still put a reaction like a like on images, but any attempt to leave a comment either just through the comment box or with a rating has the same issue. Did we ever get an update on this?

    TH10 - Extra Stage - Reimu B - Sponge

    Second extra clear. Took almost twice the attempts as Ran did.

    .dat files nor replays are recognized by steam

    You are saying that you bought the game on Steam, but then you are writing like the Steam version and your THCRAP patched version are separate? Can you maybe explain the file structures involved here? Just do TH10 as an example. I don't really get what you mean by "the Japanese th10 folder"...

    Yo guys I like this fantasy kaleidoscope series, but is there a place to watch it in more than 390p?

    Yes, but on YouTube you kind of have to hunt around for the better uploads of each episode. Here is a pretty good playlist, but even here the quality can be a bit variable. If you could find the original unvoiced video downloads somewhere, then you might be able to really get the full...

    Favourite Trio?

    I find the Prismriver sisters pretty charming whenever they appear. I liked their story around Lyrica in Touhou 9, I thought it was funny how the elder two secretly follow her around to make sure she is safe. I guess their goals and motivations are pretty simple and straightforward but there is...

    What do you all think of Reimu A (Homing Amulet) or similar shot types?

    In my opinion she is basically the low skill floor but low skill ceiling most of the time. While you still don't know the stages so well you'll have an easier time through them, but at the cost of longer boss fights, and when a lot of the games have shot types which still cover the screen pretty...

    Contingency plans for the Touhou characters

    Lol, so true. > Have "ability to manipulate fate" > Cover Gensokyo with red mist so that you don't have to worry about the sun anymore > Shrine maiden comes to fight you to get rid of the red mist > Decide not to manipulate fate so that you win??? > Lose??? > ??? Honestly most character's...

    The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Remake: A Cautious Look at Its Impact

    Oh boy, I hope that we don't get a lot of fans that don't know the source material. Who could imagine that in the Touhou community... it'd be terrible. I find this to be a strange point. How could this now easily-accessible remake do any but increase exposure to the source material? Anyways...

    Is there even such thing as an "easy" Touhou game?

    If you compare it to all games in general, then no, there really isn't an easy Touhou game (unless you don't care about performance and use infinite lives in the upcoming 6 remake). In my own experience, all of the mainline games require persistence and learning through failure. You should feel...
