Important points after some investigation: The show will be repeated for 3 more times on the same day, with the schedule given on the website. The availability of the NHK World TV channel can be found at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHK_World There is a free online stream, at what seems to be 480p: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/w/movie Things start to get unfunny when you realize that since it's an English-language channel for a foreign audience, most people in Japan have no decent way to watch it in anything near its original 1080p format. |

--- Quote from: Maple on January 05, 2015, 04:33:00 PM ---Would it be tolerable if people used the word "cryptid"? Most of the cast are these in the sense of "creatures not recognized by science", but the word implies more a "scientific" perspective. However, the premise of touhou is fighting mythological beings that are given the body of a woman of variable proportions and fancy fashion sense, so monster/demon/cryptid isn't exactly correct in first place, depending on your view. --- End quote --- Eh, I think this is like re-inventing the wheel. "Mythological beings" or "folkloric creatures", as cuc put it, is a fine descriptor that no one needs to look up while at the same time being pretty accurate, too. |

Maybe i'll be able to follow the stream, since with that trap i call TV is already a miracle if i can see national channels >_> Personally, i always use the word Youkai for Touhou because in my mind youkai, demon and monster are 3 slightly different things: Youkai = folkloristic supernatural creature, especially if coming from oriental cultures Demon = supernatural EVIL creature Monster = generic creature with unnatural physical traits :V (yes, Christian background for me too) |
| Helepolis:
Damn it timezones. I wonder if I can watch this tomorrow. |
| Suspicious person:
Please be more than "about a priestess going around killing various monsters" :( |
