She is, in fact, super-strong. You can quote me on that.

And BTW, Clartse, I asked this on your Tumblr, but might as well ask it here too. Anything on Sekibanki, other than the smartphone neck article?

He was specifically asked about Momiji's ears and Aya's wings at AX. His reply was "I don't know." This is one mystery that shall not be answered.

All in all I'm liking what I see of this book. It seems more like BAiJR, which I guess makes sense because it's an Aya book. But the little ads and stuff that took the place of some of the interviews are superb.

If you are interested in only official games, then this is possible. But, ha, recently there has been a significant amount of pretty good doujin games.
So... I have no reason to think so.

--- Quote from: mauve on March 17, 2017, 10:05:43 PM ---i don't get the fuss about sopm. even when it came out i didn't think more than a small handful of people cared. characters are contradicted continuously in this franchise and fans haven't exactly stopped from interpreting them the way they like one way or another. and people definitely like the new games' content. (i quite like the casts of ddc/llok, personally, and i was not a big fan of ufo/10d)

people like to make up a lot of pointless drama where there really isn't any because it's more fun than thinking people get along fine, which they do, so i think people are drastically overrating how much various 'factions' exist and fight. people take what they like from it, ignore what they don't, and move on. touhou's a very, very diverse franchise with a little something for everyone and zun's own attitude of not taking it too seriously pans over to fans interpreting things how they want.

It's enough just to take Manga, and you'll immediately see how many inconsistencies in the temperament of the characters.
It just needs to be taken for granted, Zun does not take much care of the "storyline".

Wrong, ZUN said before that he takes priority in the storylines when making the games.

And nowhere does it says the official games are dying and becoming less popular. One of the biggest attractions of the series are its characters, so every time a new game is announced, people get excited about looking forward to new casts. That is enough to keep interest in the series high.

Sure, ZUN may not be as active as before, but that's because he's a family man now and is too busy to be working on games all the time, not because he's lost interest due to the popularity waning, which was never the case.

Those complaining about the death of the series are the minority, and even then, they are proven wrong.
