I don't actually like that remix :x

Also, I find it humorous how all the people in the comments are acting as if this is going to kill the fanbase when CNN didn't even mention Touhou by name and the segment was incredibly short as well. gj, youtube commments.

I'm filled with shock and amazement Touhou made it's way on international news (albeit only a song, and no reference to the real deal), but I'm also agitated about the fact they try and act the stop-motion version is the real one. I'm not sure though, but I thought they did say the stop-motion was fanmade, but it passed by so quickly I'm not sure. Atleast they picked the best animation of the song.

I want to know why this guy got numerous thumbs down:
"It's not an anime, well kinda. It's a series of independently developed games called Touhou. Most are Top-down shooters, but here's a few fighting games as well. There has been a doujin/anime that was made, it was pretty short though."

Apparently thinking Touhou is an anime is good now >=P

Because it seems like the video itself destroyed the reasoning of many of it's viewers and in thier frenzy they made many illogical choices. :V

Well depending on how you look at this it's a good thing. Since some people might actually try to find out what it's from and become interested in Touhou as a result.

I think I've lost whatever faith I had left in modern news media.

I don't mind so much that they didn't say it was Touhou, as I'm not concerned with the current or future state of the Touhou fanbase. But the way they handled this "story" was too atrocious to ignore. It saddens me that those in charge of giving information to the public (i.e. the media in general) don't even know enough of what they're talking about (or seemingly even want to learn enough about it) to live up to their supposed mantra of pursuing "accuracy".

Touhou has evolved past being just the shmup though.

Seriously though, the fan-made content for Touhou is already so large though, that either way you have oodles of Touhou goodies you like, and dislike. Being more popular really wont change a thing, not to mention it most likely wont be more popular anyway.

Maybe they refrained from saying it was "Touhou" being afraid people would search it online and find some loli porn. Or short-sighted "gotta fill this one minute segment of nonsense news with something".

Hi, came from Nicovideo's thread talking about Bad Apple↓
http://dic.nicovideo.jp/b/v/sm8628149/6991-

It's funny how the reactions of most people on the video on NicoNico is something like:
"It's the otherway around lol"
"Fools lol"
"CNN (laughs)"
Although some people do take it quite seriously. Many take it more like a laughing matter.
P.S. The people on the thread of Nico Nico question CNN as a news channel and many feel for the maker of the videos.  ....Guess there's both extremes to this topic.

Do any of them say "wow, americans/the american touhou community are idiots"? Do they even know we exist?
Someone stated that "Proper fans that know Touhou know that the info on CNN is false." So yes, many of them know the oversea fans.
(Not to mention a series of videos that make closeups on "The reactions of the overseas fans.")

Turns out I like strawberry crisis so much more than bad apple.

I haven't actually watched the Bad apple videos yet.

But I am quite surprised to see that it has even hit CNN.

my friend will be all over that...he thinks touhou is secretly the zerg and that's why they assimilate everything. I can imagine his reaction...almost as creeped out as when I told him about Aya Wright...Can't wait...

I stand corrected I did watch the bad apple video before...

see the woman in the CNN broadcast didn't say which part she was creeped out by it jsut so happened to be when marisa flew in.

honestly though I enjoy strawberry crisis more although I doubt people will ever make a video for that one.

Still hopeful

Once Touhou has gotten enough faith from the world, the portal to Gensokyo will break open, allowing the Touhous to conquer the world. And ZUN will rule as the worlds new God......

Also, ZUN is obviously a transdimensional Tengu God in human disguise. Totally.

Dont forget hes in aligence with yukari lol.

I thought the stop motion bit was quite funny, probably accidental as they've gone and spoke without thinking, like most public speakers over there do.

KyoAni is in no real position to buy Touhou - ZUN won't sell it to anyone. Worst case scenario, Square-Enix tries to seize it from him (he works for Taito, who is owned by S-E, and odds are they made him sign a contract that anything he develops under their employ is theirs for the taking), they take him to court over it and the court case gets thrown out as this sort of case has been so many times before.

Title: Re: Bad Apple!! on CNN
Post by: Letty Whiterock on February 01, 2010, 03:43:48 PM
What's wrong with Maikaze's?
While the art is arguably decent and the voice work is top-notch, the story is incredibly boring and goes absolutely nowhere in the amount of time given, and as a result, it's very slow and just not very good. It's a huge step up from Side Story, but there are doujins that are shorter and get more done in a much better fashion. It also doesn't help that Maikaze won't be releasing a second episode for quite a while, and since the story laid out in the first episode is flat-out dependent on something actually happening, it just falls flat.

Because of the amount of time it took, the only thing they could do to make it seem like it wasn't a total waste while everyone waits for episode 2, if it ever comes, was to include an actual danmaku fight, and while it was neat from a special effect POV, it almost seemed out of place and would've made more sense happening when an actual conflict arises. Unfortunately, again, because of the time required to make an episode, they had to shoehorn it in to keep viewers interested.

Really, they should have simply included more fanservice. And no, I don't mean showing off the girls' bodies. Appeal to the fandom with references and situations that they get without really worry about dragging out a plot. I mean, the story is "Reimu's box is gone, what happen?" That shouldn't take long to introduce, five minutes at most, and in the remaining 25 minutes, so much could have been done to progress things, but it's like Maikaze loved the Bee Train camera pan so much, they decided to make it into an anime.

ZUN has the final word in all this. I doubt he will let a big animation house to animate a Touhou anime. He was being kind of defensive over Maikaze attempt at A Summer Day's Dream. Sooner or later, ZUN has to take action over this, not for the fanbase, but for Touhou itself.

I really don't care if something like an exponential increase in the fanbase population happens, but if this fact actually affects ZUN's judgement over creating games... then, we have a problem.

As for the problem of fame corrupting ZUN or the games that he makes...
Personally, I think it's highly unlikely for that to happen, since He's seen the fan population explode
and even made public speeches at the uni that he graduated from.
He's just gotten way too popular for certain people in... what? The past 8 years?
Same reason that I don't think any companies or studios will try to buy Touhou off ZUN, since if they do that, they'd get a bad repetition...
and you know what Japanease fans could do when something horrible happens to stuff they like.
Besides, I'd think that he would rather drink beer than care about all that.

Thanks to CNN, The price of EXSERENS boosted up like fucking mad. I was trying to look for it before; now I can't.

Well, luckily it's also on Lovelight, along with the instrumental.

I might be raging a little too soon. It seems prices are still low on YAJ, but some stores in Japan are jacking up the price of EXSERENS to about 10800yen and then some. :/

Still...

The stop motion version of bad apple is prolly inspired from this vid :

Meantime, ZUN posted a comment about "his song being aired on TV" on Twitter.

Oh, it's funny. I doubted it "edited" when I heard my song had used on TV.

And he meant THIS. lol ZUN.

He hasn't posted any CNN related, or rather Bad-Apple-related comments, maybe he doesn't bother about it at all?

I don't know what ZUN feels, but I'd be proud. Not about the CNN one, the other one.

I think ZUN said something more like "I didn't think I arranged my songs for the purpose of being used for TV."

But that is pretty cool, and it perfectly demonstrates how TV can go nuts with what background music they use. As long as they don't have to pay outrageous royalties, anything is fair game.

That was actually pretty random, the music seemed way out of place although I'm guessing that's mostly due to knowing where it comes from.

Also lot of animation/video dedicated website praise the stop mo vid for its high number of "fake(?)" incrustation photos than the original vid itself...although it could annoy the touhou fan, at least it widen a bit more the audience and some maybe will be interested in the real thing...

ZUN has the final word in all this. I doubt he will let a big animation house to animate a Touhou anime.

I say it's possible, but only if one condition is met:  ZUN retains some form of creative control.
