Looks fun, I'll definitely take a peek at this once it's released in it's entirety.
One big reason people were put off from the Memories of Phantasm episodes is because they tried to have a serious story with some drama
I was one of those people. When it came to Hifuu Club Activity Record, I'm not going to bother with investing heavily in something that is lore heavy and political when it is not even something that is an official work. I am sure there is a market for that kind of stuff for those that are really into the Lunarian side of Touhou but for me it was something that was kind of daunting to try and make sense of for a fanime.
I'm going to give this fanime a chance since it looks fun, good for a laugh and it involves all of our favorite characters that are true to their character but are just in a different setting. I'm getting some Excel Saga vibes from that trailer and I thought that Excel Saga was bloody brilliant for what it was... batshit insane comedy anime. I personally love the fan memes for all the characters so this should be good for what it is... comedy anime.
So, i really don't like what IOSYS did to the fandom, and i really don't want it to happen again with this mess of an fanimie. No matter how "Properly Focused" it is.
Well, IOSYS and their flash music videos was what got me interested in Touhou in the first place and a lot of the western attention to Touhou as well. The official ZUN Touhou and the fan Touhou side I see as two sides of the same coin and all fans worth their fanaticism can tell the difference and appreciate both for what they are. I mean, the fan side is a legitimate side to have because the amount of fan works out there of varying kinds is in the MILLIONS!!!
Nobody is ever going to take your official Touhou away from you Old Guy. Some of us just want to have fun playing around with the characters and filling in the blanks that ZUN has yet to fill in.
Sakuya abusing Meiling.
Sakuya and patchy beat Meiling awake in Meiling's Hisoutensoku ending. It's not like the abuse thing was something that was 100% made up by the fan community. Kind of like the glutton Yuyuko meme due to her constantly making jokes about eating everything in Imperishable Night.
