EoSD. THE SKY IS RED.RAAAAGE. Rush to beat up who's responsible.
PCB. SPRING IS GONE. RAAAAGE. Rush to beat up who's responsible.
IN. THE MOON IS MISSING. RAAAAGE. Rush to beat up who's responsible.
etc.
Something like that. I quite like re-interpretations of characters. If I want canon, I play the games.
Maid Xan~:
It's not the plot changes that irritate me, for the most part. It's changes to background details. Like, in canon Touhou, REIMU INVENTED THE SPELLCARD SYSTEM!
Kilgamayan:
Is that really such an important detail that it gets in the way of a quality story-telling job?
Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
I know, I'm just poking fun, mostly. I did say that the awesomeness of the writing mostly overcame that for me ...

Some of it I just find incredibly aggravating. I only really have a serious issue with Remixed Cherry Blossom, where Yuyuko is basically a huge Mary Sue. I mean, all the responsibility the events is moved off of her onto Youmu and Yukari. Yes, I know that he was changing the plot, but I find the whole deal INTENSLY irritating. I like Yuyuko. She's one of my top 3 favorite characters. But I really don't like what he did with her there. Or what he did with Yukari. However, the rest of the series is good enough that I'm willing to ignore that.
