So, it's apparently out, and I'm probably going to get it even though I can't read Japanese.

Anyone else got it and, if so, what were their opinions?

Edit: Lucarius has a translation project going here.

It's pretty cool. It's Marisa commenting on a bunch of notable spellcards she's seen throughout the series. I guess it also gives every character a symbol, which is nice.

Also the music tracks are good.

I take it you haven't heard of ZUN's new book he just released recently, which focuses on Marisa's perspective on charater's spellcards. (And rates them)

I wonder what symbol she gave for the Komeiji sisters (I probably saw it, but was totally oblivious that it came from the grimoire).

I'm semi-holding out for a translation, I suppose.

I would love scanlations of every page, but I guess I'll have to wait a while for that...

Looking at Touhou Wiki, it'll take a long while... Thankfully, I have quite the patience.

Drake · « **Reply #8 on:** August 08, 2009, 03:57:22 AM »

Yeah it's really damn long.

Drake, can you post the symbols?

Good thing I've been doing nothing all day except chat in IRC. Expect them up in a bit, I guess.

EDIT: What the hell. There were too many images on Photoshop and it crashed on me.

Hey! That's pretty nice of you to post it. ^^
And thanks for the list too.

I see ZUN couldn't decide wether Yuka is a lotus or a sunflower since there's no symbol for her.

Since I don't have the book, all I can say is...

THANK YOU, DRAKE!!!

Drake · « **Reply #15 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:16:53 AM »

kk awesome

Also, the book is a list of what Spell Cards Marisa finds interesting. I don't think there's really any other factors to it. Maybe the ones ZUN likes the best? Either way, Yuka doesn't really have any Spell Cards. People like Rumia and Mystia were only mentioned once, so it's not really whether he could get a symbol for them.

Cadmas · « **Reply #16 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:19:16 AM »

I guess this means Marisa is Jewish,
Chen drew her own symbol,
Mystia likes cock,
and Suwako has the best symbol out of everyone?

Drake · « **Reply #17 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:22:09 AM »

Actually the Chen symbol is a fairy tale reference or a constellation or something like that IIRC. I've seen something similar before.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:17:29 AM »

God, Yuka is always getting gypped. First she is one of the few characters to not be in StB, then she's not in the SWR expansion, now she's not in here? If it weren't for the fact that people acknowledge her existence, you'd think she was still in PC-98.

N-Forza · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2009, 11:13:54 AM »

Mystia and Suwako have the best symbols.

Mima · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2009, 11:49:55 AM »

Yeah, ZUN is a faggot for ignoring Yuka. Especially since he pays attention to a load of trash characters and not her.

Helepolis · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2009, 12:14:13 PM »

There is no Mima either :V (hohoho)

The Sanae symbol indeed sparked my curiousity. Aside from that, these would make awesome spellcircles in danmakufu aswell.

I am sure some symbols being left out has a meaning as it is Marisa we are talking about here. (Translation will reveal I guess)

Yes, because we all expecting Mima to be in a book about spell cards, Mima is very well known for her vast collection of spell cards.

Maybe Mima symbol is same as Marisa.

This should be sticky.

Man I love Koishi's symbol.

Because I'm obviously the key.

Why a Catherine Wheel for Hina?

And Marisa disappoints me. I was expecting an All-Seeing Eye for Satori.

Spoilers!!!!!! Mima is Marisa from the future
Her magic grew so powerful she learned how to travel through time + becomes youkai
Great disaster hits Gensokyo, brought about by selfish humans
Marisa travels back to train Marisa in hopes of making her stronger than herself
(This is why her age is unknown and hates humans)
(Also many of Marisa's spellcards are technically her own)
(Also PC98 says Marisa changes her hair color, why not to green)
Marisa antagonizes Reimu to train her and tries to take the Yin Yang orbs because they are the secret to victory
When Marisa can't theoretically live any longer training herself she tells PC98 Alice her secret
Alice seals her soul and gives it to Yuka to look after
Yuka gets red eyes etc
TH13 Marisa takes control of Yuka to test if Gensokyo is ready for the disaster
!!!!!!

You know her spellcard "Broken Charm of Protection" or whatnot, her first endboss card? That's the pattern it makes before it breaks up.
