Do any of them say "wow, ~~americans~~ westerners/the ~~american~~ western touhou community are idiots"? Do they even know we exist?

Do we care?

Ever heard of a guy named Walfas? Yeah, so have they.

Pretty stupid. However, I really doubt its really gonna cause a massive influx of new people to the fanbase. Although reading all the overreactions is very amusing.

Oh, right. Well, "WHOA TOUHOU IS WORLDWIDE AWESOME" kind of implies that they didn't know there was an american community... whatever

No, but I've heard of a dude (?!) named KirbyM who runs a site called Walfas.

People on Nico Nico Douga started to realize CNN's error, and the guy who made the stop-motion video is telling CNN to give him a break.

What surprised me is that CNN actually gave credits to Alstroemeria Records, heh.

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.

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.")

Yea I used poor google translate to see what was roughly being said and it was expected.

I spent some time on internet today....

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. If it was on an LCD screen of an organiser or something they'd have probably said it was made by masterful punching in of sets of schedules and dates :V

For all the people getting bent out of shape about the factual inaccuracies, I think the point of the story was more that someone actually made a stop-motion version of it at all than what version of it came first. >_>

Now what? Will the world as we know it end? Will the legion of Touhou fans disappear? Will KyoAni buy Touhou and make it another Endless8? None of these will happen, if anything, people will activate brain.exe and conclude Bad Apple=Touhou and maybe a few of them will get the games and join the fan base. Now excuse me, I am off for some UNL <.<

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #116 on:** January 31, 2010, 09:57:23 PM »

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.

?q · « **Reply #117 on:** January 31, 2010, 10:01:23 PM »

I thought I read on the wiki that ZUN no longer worked at Taito as of a year or two ago?

NEXT 10 YEARS:
Touhou Dubbed Anime
Oh no! Insert cheesy plot here with even more horrible drawings and propaganda!
4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT DUBBED
CENSORING OLD HAG TRIO
Calling sake "Soda"
Cutting out Suika's drunkness
Censoring Reimu's armpits
Making Marisa not steal
Cutting out youkai jesus
Replacing Japenese names with "Victoria" "Vince" "Billy" "etc"
Cutting out the nose bleeds
Removing hourai
Owning every Touhou site

And fail.

PostCrisisJ2 · « **Reply #119 on:** January 31, 2010, 10:43:39 PM »

I can't believe that there are people out there who even consider worrying about 4Kids dubbing anything these days.
