Howdy /jp/. As someone who's never browsed this board before, tell me all there is to know about Touhou.

>Armpit exposed "miko" outfits, transparent skirts, and clothing damage aren't fanservice?
Not necessarily. It depends on execution. But it's about the character as a whole.
Does this honestly looks like a design that relies on sex appeal to be noticeable, memorable or appealing to you? Like fanservice characters do?

>Majority of touhou are lolita or gothic lolita, one of the most popular things in anime
Not many of them lately, but that is a clothing style anyway.
>Also there are more than a few touhou inspired by other characters. Although they aren't necessarily popular characters.
Yes I know, most of the pc-98 and other early touhous. How many designs have been since then.
I was talking about clones. When so many artist are doing the same Rei clones, Shana clones, Saber clones, Asuna clones, Yukinoshita clones in the same pseudo fututristic chuuni armors and plastic looking uniforms ZUN is doing fucking matarajin and a chinese lion statue in a hawaiian shirt.

But I'll try to make myself more clear, what I meant when I said "He doesn't rely on fanservice or copypasting popular designs" is that he does not use exposed giant boobs and thongs or the collective memories of previous iconic characters to sell his designs. His designs succeed, I think, for the other things I said.

>Wasn't a lot of his early designs and character concepts copypasted from games and manga he liked.
Yes, I don't know about Yukari, but Ellen for example was copied from a manga.

what did she mean by this /jp/?

>"Is my intuition starting to fail me? I've never had such a total lack of leads during an incident. Or maybe... I overlooked something big
hidden among my previous opponents...?"

>"A fairy, a mountain hag, a komainu... Hrrmm... wait. Nah, no way. Well, no, on the other hand..."
