Title: Characters that just made you go 'Lol' at first sight.
Post by: Nobu on September 03, 2009, 09:48:26 PM
TH10, 11, and 12 were the only games where I first saw the characters on my first playthrough, so there was maximum surprise value there mind you.

Nothing in 11 was too lulz worthy, but I remember laughing when I first encountered Kanako and her ZOMG big purple hair. That, and I wasn't prepared for how plain Murasa looked at first. I thought ZUN might have run out of ideas or something.

Every character from THRtP, with the exception of Reimu, Mima, and Elis.

Honorable mention to Nitori Kawashiro from MoF.

Utsuho (I still remember when they called her Nuke-tan) and Unzan.

I half-loled, half floored by awesomeness when I first saw the Caution symbols and heard the alarm. I was afraid my characters would get cancer.

Hina.

God, she looks like she had a stroke.

Practically every character from MoF looks like they either got a stroke or fell out of the crib one too many times. That was a bad art year for ZUN.

the only characters i got to see "in person" were the chicks in UFO, since i didn't play the games until after1-2 months of discovering it.

but,

Kogasa
CAPTAIN MURASA
Nue (although she was more "what" than "lol", but still)

This. Although since it was my first time playing Touhou ever and I wasn't really thinking about the art (and I'm still in that boat that thinks ZUN's art is charming in all the games in one way or the other), Minoriko is the only ZUNart in the series I cringe looking at.

Also, Cirno was a pretty big laugh fest on easy mode my first run through or so. Of course, I never actually watched any videos of Cirno's spellcards beforehand, so I never noticed the blindspot. The laughter was directed at me that time.

Everyone in EoSD mainly because it was the first Touhou game I played and the Dialouge in it.

I recall calling Patchouli a "Library Hobo"...

You... You take that back! You big bully!

Actually, EoSD was my first Touhou game too, and I hadn't had any prior Touhou experience, so I didn't know what anyone looked like. If anyone made me lol though, it'd have been Sakuya. "Wait, why am I fighting a maid?"

And in more recent times, Suwako and Unzan. That hat, those fists...

I hate to get this wrong...but isn't that the Vulcan symbol?

And non of the characters struck me truly as loltastic (setting the fact aside that the premise of the characters is always "little girl/young woman capable of destroying large armies")

I do still giggle at the Kirby hat Ran wears though...and the concepts of Utsuho (nuclear powered, super powerful, pet.) and or the good Captain (Anchors away!) amuse me to now, amongst others.

Oh, and then there is the Evil Eye Sigma Tank...

No explanation necessary.

This. I was totally not expecting that at all. Utsuho as well with the intro to her spell cards. "Caution and all" i was like "wth?! haha oh wow"

Reisen probably made me chuckle a bit. A Bunny girl in a business suit? serious business indeed haha.
Mokou for sure cause she highly reminded me of inuyasha.

Does anyone know even WHY Utsuho has a club foot anyway?

Quote
A crow that gives off a conspicuously-colored light.

 On her left foot is the "Foot of fission";
 On her right foot is the "Foot of fusion";
 Finally, on her right arm is the "Third Leg" which controls it.
from the SA instruction booklet translation at the wikia.

I saw the 'armless' comments long before I played SA myself but when I saw Satori in person I realized that the comments were spot on.

Also, Kaguya looks mildly fisheyed.

Add another vote for the giant catfish. That one caught me by surprise as well. Also, UNL Shanghai.

I can't think of any character that made me "lol"... Usually if I laughed it's more of a "Oh god that's so freaking awesome" kind of laugh, like with Ichirin/Unzan and the catfish.

The only character that even really got close to that kind of reaction from me was, um, Yuyuko.  The first time I saw her, I found myself questioning whether she actually was the final boss or not.  I mean, her artwork hardly makes her look threatening.  Like, at all.  Seriously, look at it:
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/touhou/images/2/21/Th07yuyuko01.png)
Does this look like a final boss?  All poofy blue nightdress and pink hair and Dreamcast logo hat?

Of course, then you actually see what she can do and you get more of a "HOLY CRAP!" reaction from her.  The butterflies... DEAR GOD THE BUTTERFLIES!

/me breaks down and curls into a foetal ball.

I mean i thought it would be a ghost but i was expecting a vengeful looking ghost." and we get this cherry.....cheery happy ghost instead.

This post reminds me of that doujin that tells you how to measure your 9 level. (Screw the circle.) I think... being tricked by Yuyuko's cute appearance was among the highest 9 levels or something.
Or maybe I'm confusing everything.

Back when I was in my first week of Touhou, I hated Yuyuko's guts because I could not beat her on easy (yes, believe it or not such a time did exist). I wanted to rip her face off because that ditzy smile was kicking my ass all over the place.

I got better thankfully.

I almost forgot about Orin. It was like, WTF catgirl Wendy? Did ZUN run out of ideas and think no one would notice if he ripped off some 'obscure' american fast food icon?


I think the day I quit is when when they introduce a clown character. I almost thought Yuugi was a clown at first with her ridiculously pale skin.

- Utsuho, because of some patterns that reminded me of Ms. Garra (from ESP Ra.De)
- Yugi, because of her last midboss pattern (which remind me of Larsa, from Mushihimesama Futari)
- Yamame, because of her dress and hairdo (I felt like, "okay, I get it, she's spider-themed, right?")
- Satori, because of her tiny arms (and later, because of her "dancing" sprite)
- Murasa, because of her tiny hat (and perhaps because she could be seen as a Chiyuri replacement)
- Nue, because of her childish clothes and appearance :p (haven't cared much for her wings, initially thought that she looked like Flandre, not that she was her successor.. and thus haven't associated her with the mythological Nue, even though I've heard this name before)
- Suwako, because of her hat and frog theme, too
- Sanae, for using shots from Bornnam and Miyamoto (both are characters from the Mahou Daisakusen series) in UFO
- Komachi, because of her scythe. I thought.. "that scythe, what happened to it? Is it still working? xD"
- Alice in PCB, because of her spinning sprite :D (when I think of Alice, I don't think of this as one of her characteristics :p)

I laughed at Luize after I mistook her for a prototype Yukari. The laughter was directed at myself, because I was an idiot of the highest degree for ever mistaking the two as the same.

Also Ice-Antlers (I don't care if she isn't a character, I still laughed at it, and that's all that counts).

When I first saw Unzan I had no forewarning. I could not stop laughing, especially considering thsi was during the prime of the Brofist.

Sakuya's EoSD face made me laugh nervously at how horribly disfigured she looks.

Ran's swastika spellcard was a definite "lol".

For some reason the "cheeto" homing lasers from Mystic Square gave me a good chuckle but I guess those don't count as a character.

The inanimate bosses in SoEW made me think I was playing contra with Touhous.

I guess it really takes for the boss to be planet-sized to really look like a final boss :V

I'd like to think that Touhou's rather infamous for this sorta thing. Half of the final/EX bosses don't even look remotely threatening save for a few (Evil Eye Sigma is the most imposing, imo)

If Shou was a dude, he'd easily be 3x popular than normal, from all the people going "ZOMG first guy as a Touhou boss" followed by an explosion of fan content.

Of course, ZUN could just be playing a trick on us by not specifying guy or girl, then saying half the cast were guys all this time. o_o

When I met Ran, at first I lol'd pretty hard at her pyjama and went "D'awwww" when she started spinning for no reason afterwards. Now that I think about it, it should've rather went the other way around I suppose.

Kanako when she took out her pillars... horns... whatever the hell those are.
"Wha...? Ahahahaha OH SHI- *bomb"

Yuugi because she gives me a surprisingly GAR impression. If it would've not been for the fact that I actually mistook "him" for a unicorn at first.

Yuyuko was a mixture of amusement and disappointment at the same time. I just came from EoSD, and Remilia kicked huge ass for a final boss, being a vampire and shit. And then I saw Yuyuko right after the Youmu fight and went duhhhh. I was expecting some kind of reaper or something.
"What, that's it? Another ghost? Of a console?"

Surprisingly, I did not lol at Okuu's spellcard alert. It rather scared the crap out of me since I was on my last life when I first saw it. I had huge respect for that.

Perhaps I was just used most anime character designs by the time I got into Touhou, but I never really found the designs of any of the girls particularly strange. The artwork on the other hand...

However, I think Ran is the one that comes close due to her tails. Then Satori would probably come second, because out of all the things I've seen in Touhou so far, I thought that fighting a boss that wears slippers was odd.

And sakuya's face in EoSD.

Let's not forget suika in 12.3......look at her image in the character select screen. No, no, the smaller one. That got more a "what the!?" reaction out of me once i thought on it.

PS: All of ZUN's drawings make me lol, but these take the cake.

-IN
  Wriggle, oh look a male character.
  Tewi: her sprite seems weird to me.
-MOF.
  Kanako: the hair.
  Suwako: the hat.
-SA
  Satori: obvious reasons.
  Orin: she has cat and human ears.
-UFO
  Kogasa: the umbrella is beautiful.
  Unzan: brofist.
  Nue: totally unexpected character design.

As a bonus: Genji.

I don't think I ever really noticed detail on Remilia, due to her portrait's ZOMG lack of contrast in EoSD.

I have to admit, when I first saw Ichirin, I kinda laughed at the concept of fighting against a nun. Then when Unzan appeared, oh god...
I shit brix.

Bucket loli in SA was also a wat moment for me.

i didn't really lol when i saw them, i was more like "i can't wait to see what stages 4-6 has now"

and look at that, we got curvy lasers, giant anchors and laser-shooting flowers.

Only one character has done that to me.

She's a wannabe Mariachi(sp badly) dancer, smooth as greased lightning. She'll shock and amaze with her violet thunder while dancing you to death with her own "Saturday Night Fever". The disco queen with the fancy shawl, the one and only Iku Nagae.

Disco has never been more awesome.

Disco has never been more awesome.

I'd definately call Amakasu Barley from Uwabami Breakers a worthy challenger to Iku's disco-awesomeness. All right so he's not strictly related to Touhou but ZUN did have a finger in the creation of the game!  ;)

No matter how hard I try, I will never, ever unsee the Backpack that Remilia is wearing.

She's holding her backpack the exact same way I do. It's the hands.

Speaking of six fingers...

And that wasn't the only mistake they made in Touhou Anime Project.

Oh god that hand >.< That manages to look outright disturbing!

Well, when an independent studio tries to get such a big project done by Reitaisai 6 instead of 26, mess-ups are bound to occur.

Personally I could have waited the extra 20 years.

The hair colour isn't bad, but it looks.....meh.

There is a lot of good Sanae art, but this isn't one of them.

Yeah, in the original MoF/SA portraits of Sanae, she has toothpaste for hair.

Anyway, there weren't anything what made me 'lol' but there was a lot of 'WTF O_o' moments... Actually the whole UFO itself was like that. First in the demo, the Brofist. Then in the full game: "wtf the giant ball of light is shooting SPACE FAIRIES!", then first spellcard of Murasa "Holy shit it's a Freaking ANCHOR???!!!" and died in an instant. Then in the fifth stage, "WTF Am In the Cyberspace?? With SPACE FAIRIES??!! O_o",  "Holy shit CURVING LAZERZ!!" then "Spinning lazer cross of death, What The Hell!". When I've reached Byakuren, I was already exhausted from the so much wtf-ing.

The design that made me lol was Evil Eye Sigma.  That, and Unzan(Which is love).

I mean, what the hell.

MoF Sanae. Fungal growth isn't supposed to be used as a hairpiece.

OR: EosD Sakuya. I'm not sure if it's a result of too much sake or too little on ZUN's end. Of course, Kanako's hair produced a chuckle too, but that was more "That is the greatest hair ever" than "Lol".

Since the first 'touhous' I'd seen was mostly all fan-art, as soon as I'd gotten PCB and IN, I was hysterical.

Some of the sprites in SWR are a bit silly, too - not the character portraits, but the actual fighting sprites. Remilia while walking away just looks lolcute, and Komachi doesn't have a proper arm more than she has a fleshy flesh colored flesh appendage.

And drunken stagger Suika is just ROFLTACULAR.
