Does anyone know the name of the song in the trailer? Also how do you download the .swf video? None of the usual internet video rippers work and downloading the embed link just downloads a single frame :(The song is a work-in-progress version of music written for the show, based on Track 2 of Ghostly Field Club. As for downloading, the Firefox plugin NetVideoHunter works.

Also this looks hella interesting, especially that (presumably) pre-Gensokyo Byakuren. There might be some original material for that too, right? Man I'm really hyped nowByakuren here might also fit the role that she's played in Forbidden Scrollery thus far. Any time Buddhist myths and legends pop up, she'll act out the role of the lead in that story. Saint Yuuten and the monk-eating youkai and another story involving challenging a group of boisterous belly-drumming tanuki have popped up so far if I remember the details right. Not to mention that the clothing and - more tellingly - the hair match the FS style, which has been depicted as simply dark since it's being drawn on a simple black-and-white medium.
00:57 "For what reason did she choose death"
01:03 "What caused the battle"
01:10 "The war on the moon a thousand years ago"
01:19 "What kind of stories are found behind the myths"
01:27 "Why is she bound to the darkness of the sea"
The plan is of course, hoping this prologue can attract enough support that they can actually have the resources to finish the full episodes.
I reuploaded it onto Youtube since the chinese video host is pretty laggy for overseas viewers.That should be enough. They'll probably upload a Japanese version to Youtube.

Is there anything else I should do beyond putting their website in the description to make it a friendly reupload and not a theft of content?
That trailer looks pretty impressive! I got goosebumps. The stories around Renko and Maribel are so strange and Lynchian, yet so often overlooked. It's nice to see just a little of that brought to life.I'll remember to notify you if things come to that.
Say someone in the WTC wanted to help give them support. How they can send funds? What other resources do they need?
Cover art for Prologue by Neko:Is Neko the artist for the Troupe, or did he only make the cover art?

Is Neko the artist for the Troupe, or did he only make the cover art?Artist of the cover art, but he is also likely the character designer for the project. Need confirmation for this, though.
He's one of the best artists on Pixiv :)
dat Sailor Moon crossover...
The included scenes are: aerial view of Kyoto, Fujimi Plateau Hospital, Zenkou-ji Temple, and Rendaino Graveyard.

So, is the actual release date known? I'm talking about the prologue. So far it is known that it will be released around next month, in November. But exact date would be nice~

Can someone clarify, please?

100 Chinese Yen is not the same as 100 Japanese Yen. 100CNY is roughly US$16.33. Now that sounds about right for a DVD, doesn't it?
Man, you've been had. I fell for the same thing the first time I saw this too. Apparently the ? symbol can also be used to denote the Chinese currency "yuan", it's misleading yes but if it's too good to be true then it really is.Figures that would be the case. Well, that means it really is a DVD. Good news, alright. Thanks for the correction.

So, I don't know if this is real or a hoax, but the OP is (allegedly) up now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t55SXXCzG-U).
Also, this one featuring Mouko, which makes me wonder what role can she play in this anime ?
?her reason for seeking revenge on Kaguya (understandable if Fuhito was a good man, but in the case that he wasn't...)
If we are to assume it is similar to the tale of the bamboo cutter, then, he is an ass. All of the suitors are.
What are the contents of the DVD?
Is it a full episode? Currently I believe it's just the opening and two Doujin books? Is that correct?
I'd like to buy it if it's a full episode already, if not, I'll wait :)
While I'm still excited, I'm questioning the legality of this. Didn't ZUN put certain restrictions on fan anime?What do you mean by "certain restrictions ?"
While I'm still excited, I'm questioning the legality of this. Didn't ZUN put certain restrictions on fan anime?I don't think there's restrictions, just concerns about when one of the anime was using pro voice actors.
What do you mean by "certain restrictions ?"
I'd like to place the following restrictions on all
derivative works, regardless of whether they're commercial or independent:
For-profit development of works whose main element is animation(*)
...
* By this I mean so-called "traditional cel animation"; computer-generated 3D
animation and 2D illustrations with special effects processing aren't included
in this restriction.
I'd like to place the following restrictions on allAbout one year ago, I've written about this at MotK. In short, this rule was poorly conceived. It was hastily made to shut down the Animate X Touhou project, while completely ignoring the fact that there are fan creators whose chosen medium of expression is traditional cel animation, and who have always acted in good faith. Even if you are an amateur animator who draws your own Touhou anime using simple B&W sketches, this rule would bar you from selling it at conventions, not to mention higher profile works like Touhou Kinema Kan and Touhou PVD.

Gorgeous~ but how are they going to go from the hifuu club people to the moonfolks ? Already been hyped by this but now I'm also curious :3
Hope they'll leave some stuff for eventual future Touhou fanimators to work with
OCs are useful for filling roles that can't be taken by any of the other hundred or so touhou characters. Which means they're either gonna be dudes, cannon fodder, or both. (The Watatsuki husbands maybe? Some cute rabbits who'll get the chop near the end? Who knows!)I'm assuming the OCs are moonpeople, because it certainly wouldn't make sense to use other characters in those roles. Tsukuyomi and such.
Looks good either way.

I'm assuming the OCs are moonpeople, because it certainly wouldn't make sense to use other characters in those roles. Tsukuyomi and such.Maybe the OCs could be the circle's rendition of the characters from the original Tale of the bamboo cutter too, as they would be relevant in the story : "Kaguya"'s adoptive family, the suitors...
Here's the OC (http://kyotofantasytroupe.net/archives/316) update. It has laid out the thinking process behind the characters. Dudes and dudettes of MotK, prepare to be assaulted by a thinking pattern utterly different from anything you're familiar with lol (in the Touhousphere, at least).*Handclaps* Magnificent~ it's not ZUN level but still awesome. The Moon saga related stuff have always been one of the most complicated thing ever in Touhou, and that without adding politics in. Whoever is dealing with the storyboard must really know their stuff. Maybe the time has finally come where someone'll make sense of the moon saga ? All my hype. The OCs are well thought and all but I'm not sure whether they'll be well received or not, though. ZUN, make them canon pls
*reasoning*
lol Neko finally drew male charactersWell, I guess if you care about it so. He drew the concept art that informed these design sheets, and will draw these characters (and more) in the comic.
(http://kyotofantasytroupe.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/%E7%BB%86%E7%88%B1%E4%BA%B2%E7%8E%8B1.jpg)...I think I saw this guy in a super robot anime once. :V
Symbolizing the nigi-mitama "harmonious soul" of the four souls, the genderless Prince Tsuku has the highest status among Tsukuyomu's direct offsprings, and is the best regarded by Tsukuyomu.I never wrote "he" for one second. I'm not familiar enough with the use of other genderqueer pronouns like xir, therefore I opted to stick to "they". If your question is re: Prince, I haven't found any alternate word for that.
With intelligence that rivals Eirin, they are responsible for governing the Lunar Capital.
-OCs snip-Interesting. Since this is Touhou, I expected the OCs to be female, but this is okay too.
Interesting. Since this is Touhou, I expected the OCs to be female, but this is okay too.
Anyway, to echo others' claims so far, this all seems very interesting, and I can clearly see that a lot of time was spent studying the lore as well as all the other concepts in relation to this.
I also find Tsuku's design very fitting; less so the armor-clad Sasarae however.
I just hope that they won't turn into "Mary Sues" of sorts later down the line, specially when I read "With intelligence that rivals Eirin". OCs are fine and all, but I'm primarily here for the Touhou! :V

Eirin's smart yes, but she's not the smartest thing in the universe, she just happens to be highly intelligent. Tsuku is just at her level, not exactly smarter than her. There's nothing wrong with an OC being as smart as an existing character, and here it's justified pretty well imo.
Remilia: A capable eagle does not hide its tail...
Marisa: ...you sure seem like you got no brains.
Remilia: Only the humans.
Remilia: Only they need a simplistic, chemical faculty of thinking, such as the brain.
I think exposing one's brain is proof of one's incompetency.
A brainy WHO hides its WHAT, as they say.
Re: "Mary Sue" and what not, it's not a spoiler that the youkai didn't win this war.Well, sure it isn't - save for those who haven't read into the lore or heard much about it, I suppose - but I think it's Yorihime who states in Silent Sinner in Blue that the reason the youkai didn't succeed is because Eirin set up a trap to catch someone who'd attempt to invade the moon.
As stated by others, Eirin isn't exactly "just smart", she's the genius of the Moon and most probably Omoikane (Is that actually confirmed? I'm not entirely sure...)
but I think it's Yorihime who states in Silent Sinner in Blue that the reason the youkai didn't succeed is because Eirin set up a trap to catch someone who'd attempt to invade the moon.
I don't think ZUN's ever outright said it, but the hints are obvious enough. She has those Omoikane spellcards, Yagokoro-Omoikane-no-mikoto is one of Omoikane's names, and ZUN calls her one of "the highest, noblest gods" in the SoPM interview.
I thought the reason youkai didn't succeed was unrelated to Eirin's trap. I am pretty sure it was a failure from the beginning, unrelated to the trap.
The thing that the trap did was prevent at least one youkai from escaping punishment, which was Yukari.
I myself am expecting these OCs to be villains and to get some sort of comeuppance during the story, which would not be very Mary-Sue-ish at all. Of course, that's just a gut feeling of mine. My bigger worry is that having OCs means they'll need to flesh out the Lunarian society in general, not just the Lunar War, which could greatly expand the scope of the story to something so big that it'd require an anime of its own (as opposed to just a 20+ minute episode or two).

They started a survey to know which seiyuu will fit each character, not exactly mean that they will really be voiced in the anime but at least it means they are thinking to have it voiced
I just want Ohara Sayaka to voice Yuyuko and Imai Asami to voice Renko
Mokou = Maaya Sakamotoyou basically have all of modern anime right there
Kaguya = Mamiko Noto
Rinnosuke = Hiroshi Kamiya
Cirno = Miyuki Sawashiro
Sanae = Kana Hanazawa
Kanako = Aya Hisakawa
Youmu = Ryōko Shiraishi
Cirno = Miyuki Sawashiro
April 1st update was more character sheets for Merry and Renko.Oh, finally a sneak peek of the comic. Things I noticed:

Today's update is a trailer, containing the full opening, with some animation corrections.
http://kyotofantasytroupe.net/archives/358
Oh right, the Episode 1 comic will be titled "Recollections of the Moon".
I'm sorry for up, but is there any news about this project?
How do you contrast it with the others animation like fantasy kaleidoscope and summer dream work?I have yet to actually watch it properly and I'd already put it miles ahead of either work. To me, Summer's Day Dream is little more than nonsensical fanon and moe fanservice, in every aspect of the series: voices, art, events, personalities, etc; and while Fantasy Kaleidoscope is a lot better in terms of art and animation, the fights are very lacking in substence and it also suffers a lot from blatant service like an unrelated hot springs scene taking up half the screen time, etc.
Okay, since your ReCaptcha system is broken, meaning that you can't either search or register, I'm forced to use this dodgy solution to contribute to that thread. I hope at least helvetica can come back soon to sort that out.
I personally bought it from Melonbooks with help of a proxy (Buy Nippon). My copy should arrive on Monday. From that, I'll decide if I post or not the episode in low resolution or only the first minutes of it. I want to ask the circle first about this (they seem to be English speakers too).
I fear it didn't have the recognition or exposure it deserves. Also, there's a total lack of information on their part, meaning that only people who have it in hands know what it looks like.

The first two are Japanese stores that don't ship overseas, so you'll have to use a proxy like Noppin or Buy Nippon (or any other of your choice).
The second two can ship overseas but I don't know much about them. Otaku Republic is pretty expansive so watch out for possible custom fees!! Buyee almost work as proxy by itself but has has very low service fees compared to other ones (this has to be checked).

I do hope they meet more than their budget goal... :ohdear:
The overall mood is also completely different from what we watched before. It presents itself as relatively serious with only a few tidbits of funny attempts (you won?t see a grimace fest like in Memories of Phantasm). I also like how it tries to put the storytelling very upfront by developing relationships within characters and events that occur. Unfortunately, if you?re a bit lost behind regarding canon and can?t speak Japanese (just like me), this may feel a bit complicated to follow. Like in Memories of Phantasm, character psychology seems okay and tangible enough (compare that to the caricature we had in A Summer Day?s Dream). You might find all those characters endearing.I'm oh so happy about that, you have no idea - especially that last line. Finally a good fanime that doesn't rely on fanservice, fanon or cartooney humour, and instead presents an attempt at serious storytelling, with some of the lesser represented characters and storylines.
One quality I like about it over Memories of Phantasm is how low it relies on fan-service and some lame and dated puns. You won?t find any of these here. For some people, that may be a huge plus. Also, it doesn?t feel as cartooney as Manpuku?s anime.
Those are original characters, not characters from CiLR. Actually, I think we knew that ahead of time? It's perfectly understandable that you'd be less invested in the plot if you haven't read the related canon works.That's what I suspected. Thank you for the clarification. I should have remembered that huge discussion on 4chan (/jp channel) trying to find out how accurate it was in comparison to CiLR. I guess there were some grey areas plot-wise during the writing of the episode and they came up with those secondary characters to "fill in the blanks". They probably did what they thought was the best.
...I haven't actually watched it myself though.
