Time to rethink the standard.

Well, since all that hoopla happened and well, people are running scared in the streets and all, I’m thinking of thaking the blog in a new direction.

Small problem though, after animé, there’s quite a lot to talk about. Maybe I should actually get to reviewing doujin music, Touhou and the like, ala kwok, or report on the Visual Novel scene, or maybe doing doujin artist reviews. I’m a bit of a manga buff, see. I dunno, there’s a fair bit to be covered.

This is where you, the nonexistent reader come in. Suggest a field I could cover with regularity. Or at least make fun of. I dunno, as long as it’s related to otaku culture, I guess. I’ll still drop by animuland, and I’ll still crank out those editorials.

It’s a huge wide would out there, otaku culture, and I’m kinda lost. And that’s a good thing when you wanna start fresh.

(Anyone who suggests lol die will get lol danmaku and lol mudkips to the nutbladder.  ( X ‘  ___ ‘) )

I did not see this coming and I am shocked. Shocked at the news.

I’m sure you all have heard about the big news.

I’m tied between loling at the news or posting something serious, so I’ll opt to do neither. Instead you get some prose.

The Forgotten’s Death

Psychotic, schizo, loony

Mai hallucinates monsters attacking the school, and Sayuri gets caught in the midst of it.
Unknowingly, Mai mistakes Sayuri as a monster, killing her in cold blood.
When she realizes the recently slain monster is her only friend, she freaks, snaps, becomes fully psychotic
Ignoring the world around her, she kills every single hallucination.
And then, death.
Not something glorious, no angels carrying the battered spirit to the heavens, not for her.
Hers is the death of forgotten people. People who failed to do anything with their lives.
What faces her is not joy or torment, but the quiet that fills the room at night.
Never to be mentioned by anyone, never to be remembered.
This is the Forgotten’s Death.
It happens everyday, to millions of people.
But why her? She did not deserve such an ignominious end.
No one knows.
No one ever knows.
Even the greatest of heroes fall to it. The Forgotten’s Death.
It’s not her fault. It never was.

The End

Doujin Work, Gogi Power Hiroyuki takes off!

Bucket of lawlz for everyone!

Yes, people, Gogi Power Hiroyuki, accidental creator of fine memes like ‘JAM IT IN’ and ‘A CAT IS FINE TOO’, and creator of fine doujins such as ‘That’s Why I Assault Ren’ And ‘Platonic Magician H’, is also the creator of his very own manga series, better known as ‘Doujin Work’.

Of course, one wonders how his brand of humour could even become an animooted series is beyond me. Of course, it’s 4koma, and half of the show is live-action, so it’s kinda interesting to see how it works out. Ah well, miracles do happen. God has a cruel sense of humour. (That is a good thing.)

One only wonders what happens if he and Tako got to know each other, got married, etc. OH THE HORROR. OH THE SAVAGE HUMOUR. OH THE HUMANITY.

…Wait, that might be a very good thing after all.

Oh Abe, you’re such a riot.

Look at what Abe hath wroth.

Well then, let’s add the 2ch/Gazou/Japanese anonboard adminstrators to the bonfire. I’m sure the screams of a few thousand more people will add to the soothing melody and atmosphere to the barbecue.

(Drm note: …Seriously, Abe, what is wrong with you? Trying to deprive 3 million+ innocent people of their only means of escape? I would approve of your plans, but it smells liken some childish revenge plot gone bad. I don’t floogin’ care if you’re the fricken Prime Minister of Japan, for crying out loud, but there has to be some restraint, darnit.)

Wait, what?

This is so frikkin’ hilarious I have to knock my socks off.

That means the whole doujin industry could be so fuxored we gotta hafta nuke it off the face of the planet. And Japan too, lawl.

If Abe and his politically incorrect folks actually do this, well, don’t think anything could happen.

Yep noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooothing to see here folks, move along. Absolutely noooooooooooooothing to see here.  Noooooooooooooooooooooothing but the arrests of our favorite artists, doujin groups, doujin circles, and doujin companies, not to mention famous eroge companies, and then we burn them at the steak. While having a barbecue fueled by the passionate, innocent individuals who only want to do what they love. Yep, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooothing to see here folks.

Well, I hope the chicken wings and patties are well-done. Nothing like a flame-broiled patty while enjoying the screams of a few million innocent people being burned to death. brings back memories of the Salem Witch Trials.

That also means no more awesome stuff like SUPER YOUKAI WARHEAD, or armpit mikos, or horny slutty head maids, or that recockculous war between mages that ends up being a swordspam fest filled with people that die when killed. Or even crazy highschool assassins that can see death. Or frikkin’ ANGRY GAOING ARMORED TACOS FILLED WITH MAGICAL HEREDITARY AIDS. Or lol lolis who go uguu and steal taiyaki and fall out of trees.  Or lol robots that as-

SUPER YOUKAI WARHEAD

lol

Touhou 10 is hard work

And I haven’t got to the SUPER YOUKAI WARHEAD, who is absolutely moé and stuff.

Actually, I liked the Stage 2 Boss more :V

So, enough ranting, time to talk about Touhou 10.

Story: So yeah, the Hakurei is getting less and less worshippers (Well, if you have LOL MOONPRINCESSES and LOL LUNARIANS and LOL GHOSTPRINCESSES and LOL LOLIVAMPIRES, though I think everyone is gay for Reimu and the situation should be in reverse). For a shrine, this is a bad thing, so some weird god dude says I’ll make the shrine have lots or faith or you will close it down lol. Reimu, smelling something fishy, goes out to kick that snotty dude’s butt and drags Marisa along with her. (Officially, Marisa was curious as to why Reimu was locking up the shrine and all, but this explanation is much funnier).

Gameplay: Like most of the Touhou series, you’re shooting at stuff. Lots of stuff.That may or may not shoot streams of bullets at you. And at the middle and end of a stage you fight a boss character who fires dangerously elaborate streams of bullets. Oh, did I mention that these bullets travel a lot faster than the usual Touhou game?

Bombs? What bombs? You get no stinkin’ bombs here! You get OPTIONS, ala Graduis! You can detonate one of them to clear bullets and harm enemies, like in PoFV! But your firepower weakens a bit. (THIS AIN’T YOUR MOTHER’S TOUHOU)

Characters: Only two playable this time round, Reimu and Marisa. Each of them have three forms.

Hakurei Reimu – Shrine Maiden of paradise, armpit miko, ZOMBIE D:
You know her. The poor shrine maiden with the wonderful armpits. 100000 yen treatment notwithstanding. She’s a lot faster this time round.

Reimu A: The lol nub form. Homing shots that deal little damage. Great for people new to Touhou. But you’ll want to switch to something with better damage.

Reimu B: The lol damage form. Great for attacking bosses with, due to the high damage.

Reimu C: The LOL REIMU WANTS SECHZ form. Spread shot? Why, ZUN, why? Why is Reimu C lacking in damage?

Kirisame Marisa – An Ordinary Magician
Wait, Ordinary? What?

Marisa A: OPTIONS MARISA. The best character in the game. Versatile Options and what not. Though Reimu B beats it in offensive power.

Marisa B: LOL LAZOR Marisa. Ain’t the same without a good ol’ Master Spark, don’tcha think, eh?

Marisa C: LOL FLAMETHROWERS Marisa. Great for heavy damage, but the flames are bit short. Wonder how did Marisa get them flamers… … …

Boss characters? There are 4.

Stage 1 Mid boss: Shizuha Aki. Bleh, nice Sprite, though.

Stage 1 Boss: Minoriku Aki: Mystia’s lovechild??? Or something. I wasn’t thinking straight.

Stage 2 Boss: Kagiyama Hina. OMFG SO CUTE MUST TAKE HOME :V

Stage 3: Kawashiro Nitori. SUPER YOUKAI WARHEAD. Definitely ubér loli and absolutely moé. Need I say more?

Music: AWESOMECAKE. ‘Nuff said.

 

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith. It’s about ruddy time.

Touhou 10 is made of win and awesome
