/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm a primary and I completely agree with this ranking.
I'd put Satori and the dork a little higher but that's it.

Obviously they should make it so that you must submit a unique 1cc on every integral game in order for your vote to be counted.

>>10107870
Only secondaries care about Alice. And flan is on 6th place.

where is kasen?

Why do you even care? It wasn't even that bad. Cirno and Chen are not in the top 10.

>>10107881
>Only secondaries care about Alice.

Explain yourself faggot.I am mad.

>>10107882
who?

>>10107881
I don't care much about Alice either, but I don't dislike her.

>>10107851
where is Sanae?

>>10107881
Flan is best 2hu, dude.

>>10107851
Primary here, Marisa should be #1

>>10107922
Just below Satori.
11th place.

>>10107909

So Yukari is on the step above Reimu, then?

Quaternary here, Hatate should be number one

>>10107943
>Quaternary
what?

>>10107951
I'm so far detached that I found out about toho on /jp/, and only participate exclusively on /jp/ without knowing any of their names beyond Hatate, Alice and Marisa.

Alice deserves to be #1. Also,I'm glad to see Yuuka in the top 10.

I wish the EoSD crew would fuck off and make way for the true queen.

7 out of 10 of those touhous are also in my top 10, albeit in a different order.

I'm okay with this.

>>10107974
why is she flinging her penis around

mfw
Enjoy your butthurt.

>>10107851

Wasn't Sanae like number 2 or 3 just prior to this one? Man, she dropped like a rock.

Actually, a lot of the movement near the top in these polls seems kind of random to me. I like Yuuka, for instance, but she hasn't really done anything in ages.

Why are Yuuka, softdork and Satori below the shitty Scarlet Devil crew and Alice? Why do Touhou fans have such bad taste?

Udonge was in 7th two polls ago.

Now 27th.

That's quite the fall.

>>10108101
Not really. She's 11, just after Satori.

Where is Byakuren?

The Scarlets really, REALLY need to lay off already. Why do people even like them?

>>10108212

Remi and Flan a cute. You fuck off.

>>10107881
>Only secondaries care about Alice
Why wouldn't a primary care about Alice? Canon Alice is just like the average user from /jp/

>>10108246
Okay, but Komeiji are better.

>>10108251
lol no.

>>10108254
See first.

>>10108246
Almost all Touhous a cute. What else?

>>10108251
Like what? Every SDM doujin I see is the same god damn plot rehashed over and over again.

>>10108254
Moralfag get out.

I'm just glad that Alice kicked SDM asses.

By the way, why do japs loves main characters so much? It's not only in Touhou, main characters are almost always in the first place or top 3 at least... Do really people love Reimu that much? To me it feels like there are a lots of people voting without even knowing characters and they vote the only one they know.

>>10108322
>why do japs loves main characters so much?
>main characters
Because side characters are useless fodder.

>>10108322
Yeah,no. Japs know their shit.

25.Cirno
53 Chen

>>10108241
First Windows release grants them permanent dibs for at least one spot in the top 10.

Only around half of the characters in the list have been in the games or in any official books/manga in the last three or four years. Hell, Yuuka hasn't been mentioned anywhere since PMiSS and played a minor role in her only Windows appearance. Even fucking Medicine and the Aki sisters have been in the manga releases.

>>10108322
I love Reimu, she's always been my favorite touhou and always will be, but not because she's the main character.
To me it seems like a lot of people vote for other less popular characters just because they want to stand out more or be unique.

As for the the MCs who are usually always at the top of popularity rankings, it may have something to do with the fact that they get the most focus and screentime.

Alice got more votes than Reimu why is she #2?

>>10108388
forgot my pic

>>10108388
Why did Alice get so many votes anyway?
Don't say Sweet Magic.

>>10108409
Marisa Stole the Precious Thing.

>>10108388
Alice only got more 1st place votes.
I guess more people choose Reimu on their 2nd place vote than Alice, so she lost in the general score summary.

>>10108409
Sweet Magic.

>>10108365
I guess you are right about the screentime, but in Touhou it's more complicated. If we are talking about the canon screentime, then that will make sense for Reimu. But Sakuya, Remilia and Flandre are also always top 10 and they are not in that many games, or even Alice. Touhou characters populary's strong point is the fandom. And there are some not MC that get same or maybe more fandom "screentime" than Reimu. I feel like it's an obligation for japs to vote for Reimu, like: "I'm going to vote for my favourite 2hu but before that i need to put Reimu in first place."

The annoying thing about these polls is that the choices are generally made for really half-assed reasons.

Like 98% of the cast isn't really fleshed out enough to have any sort of real feel for them at all. A good deal of them have never made an appearance outside of the infodump books (PMiSS/SoPM) and their initial game. People have their favorites, but they only came to those decisions because of fanart and doujin interpretations and the like.

The way some characters' popularity sways back and forth like crazy is an obvious giveaway to this. Alice being the biggest example from this year thanks to that MMD video.

I was always happy with the results for this one. Good job Alice!

>>10107903
Alice is a bitch. People only like her because of IOSYS stuff and doujins. She is far from charismatic in the official stuff.

>>10107975
But Satori-chwan comes right after Milady!

>>10108241
Vampire girls, the game had great music, vampire girls, maids, western-inspired characters that heavily contrast with the rest of the cast, the mansion holds a social environment that promotes certain fetishes (i.e. Master - Servant relationship), vampire girls, etc.

Vampire girls.


>>10108254
She's over 500 years old, do I need to bring my radiocarbon dating kit?.

>>10107943
Oh fuck I laughed way too hard.

>>10108623
She is an aryan which means shes NUMBER 1 you sack of dirty old balls.

>>10108630
Thanks, I was feeling a little ignored.

>>10107975
I like Satori and all, but let's face it: EoSD is one of the best games in the Windows series. The other one is IN.

>>10108623
if you hate Alice then why do you save pictures of her HUH?! clearly she is important enough to you that you have to give her disk space.

>>10108641
>EoSD is one of the best games in the Windows series

Terrible scoring system, two full stages of item collection, weak instrumentation.

>>10108623
But she's tsundere and it's so cute when she stutters all the time.

>>10108623
>People only like her because of IOSYS stuff and doujins

The same could be said for any Touhou,nerd. Not everyone is charismatic,that's not her appeal.

>>10108650
>terrible scoring system
best scoring system.
>as if item collection is a bad thing
>weak instrumentation
you are autistic.

What's your favorite game, TD? nerd.

>>10108650
>two full stages of item collection

OH NO IT'S ALMOST LIKE GETTING TO MAX POWER IS SOME SORT OF ACHIEVEMENT OR CHALLENGE RATHER THAN SOMETHING YOU'RE AT BY DEFAULT IN THE SECOND STAGE.

HOW DARE YOU, ZUN!!!

WHAT'S NEXT, POWER-UPS? YOU'D THINK THIS IS AN STG OR SOMETHING!

>>10108641
>is one of the best

It IS the best.

>>10108662
stop making me laugh, /jp/!

>>10108650
EoSD has a scoring system?

>>10108661

MoF and IN

Item collection is a personal annoyance. I don't care if you're full power by whenever, but spending that stage (with those flying things no less) chasing after items isn't my idea of fun in an STG.

>>10108676
Damn, you must suck at non-Touhou STGs, huh?

>>10108717

Don't play that many, but in my experience few are so finicky about it - either the items have bigger collect boxes (later touhou would do this when you focus, jamestown) or they are more or less guided towards you. (exceed 3, crimson clover, kind of)

But yes, I do. I suck at Touhou STGs as well.

>>10108555
And the funniest thing is that you're autistic enough to think that it's a problem.

>>10108657
That's not true at all.

>>10108409

Alice in Wonderland movie.

>>10108623

I love her because I love Alice in Wonderland. And I actually like her murderous past. Dere dere Alice faggots can go fuck themselves.

>>10107851

>>10109844
The only thing she has in common with Wonderland Alice is the name.

>>10110748
I remember reading somewhere that ZUN states she was named after Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

In Mystic Square the EX stage's theme was Wonderland if I'm not mistaken.

Alice has never struck particularly high in my books, I've always kind of found her boring. In terms of both canon and fanon. Either an unsocial dollmaker who aids Marisa or a deredere tsundere obsessive stalker of Marisa.

Her design I've never found particularly interesting, her original PC-98 design I also find somewhat uninteresting since I always found the original Alice in Wonderland outfit kind of boring design wise.

Thinking about it, I've never liked MariAli much either, I've always considered it my least favorite Marisa pairing. Not sure why. Maybe it's because I think all her other pairings have better chemistry and dynamics.

Maybe that period of Alice eats poop meme affected my impression of her subconsciously.

>>10107851
Why is Remilia so high? Who let this happen?

EoSD has a dumb scoring system that's based entirely on ZUN's poor programming.

The only one that rivals it in stupidity is TD's.

>>10110748
Shut up secondary.

>>10109844
What books detail her past anyways?

>>10108322
I've wondered this myself actually and I kind of agree with you. I think most people who vote for these things vote based on the adorable videos they have seen involving the characters and it's mostly (and obviously) the main characters+some sub characters that they use. The sub characters that they use become even more popular for appearing and will be chosen more often to appear in videos. That's why Alice and SDM crew are still up there.

>>10111012
No matter how much ZUN says so in the music comments, there isn't any similarity.

>>10111055
Nigga, have you seen MS extra stage? All these card enemies and shit?

>>10111055
ry playing the games, dipshit.

>>10107953
i'm also one of these

ive never plaeed touhou but i have it downloaded

I just save funny pictures of cute girls

That's kawaii, ne?

kakkoi >kawaii kawaii

The Strange Everyday Life of the Flying Shrine Maiden

>The shrine maiden of paradise spent a peaceful summer just like every other.
One summer day, this was written in the shrine maiden's diary.


August X
Today's incident started when I met a beautiful blonde girl walking from the old western-style building deep in the forest.
I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I don't remember every little detail like that. The girl mischeiveously stuck out her tongue and quickly bowed as she walked towards the exit to paradise, laughing loudly. Such an odd girl.
Come to think of it, that girl was the only woman in the eight honest men, not that it really matters. Oh, today was just another boring day...

There are eight less people in this paradise, "Gensokyo", and seven corpses were carried off by youkai. Gensokyo has lost these honest men forever. It's just a change in the population count.
Not important news in the least.

Great job.

>>10110997
SA's system is on par with the shittiness of TD and EoSD. Honestly, the only scoring systems worth learning are in IN and PCB.

>>10111689
Personal opinion of scoring systems:

PCB > UFO > IN > MoF > SA > EoSD > TD

Is this list updated monthly and where you can vote?

>>10112482
It's an annual thing, every Februrary I believe.

The votes are accurate so long as an MC wins.

These votes are also pretty obscure considering neither Cirno nor Chen get anywhere near the top.

>>10112610
>These votes are also pretty obscure considering neither Cirno nor Chen get anywhere near the top.

Bury your head a bit off the western fandom, dude.

REIMU EBIN ::-DDD

I can't fucking stand Reimu. Every single time something happens she acts like she's the fucking mayor in Gensokyo,hurr I'm here to exterminate youkai,like it's her birth right or something.Mind your own business,bitch!

I hope ZUN kills her or at least replace her with a better character.

>>10113097

>>10113097
To be fair, she is a bitch.

But it is her job.

>>10113097

>>10110748

Cool bullshit.

She fell into a hole under a peach tree and had adventures in Makai.

She returned changed and murdered 7 people to become a youkai.

It's all in DiPP.

>>10113097
>I hope ZUN kills her or at least replace her with a better character.

He's going to have her marry Rinnosuke.

>>10113005
Well everyone knows that the western fandom has better tastes than the Japanese one.

>>10114625
No way

>>10114625
I can't tell if you're being serious.

>>10114644
Dead serious. Why?

>>10110998
Pedos.

>>10114644
Why wouldn't he be being serious? Are fans from Japan intrinsically better? They have secondaries and memes and blogs too, y'know.

>>10114701
What's wrong with memes and blogs?

>>10114701
They have stronger japanese spirit.

>>10114719
Everything is wrong with blogs. Personal websites can be fine, but blogs are intrinsically egoistical and should be considered harmful.

I meant memes in a condescending way targeted at specific types of memes. In the same way someone might say, "Those idiots, with their hats and their jokes..." even though they have no problem with hats or jokes in general. Obviously I'm fine with memes because I'm on 4chan, but I was trying to get across they have plenty of retarded ones with all the same spammy and unfunny connotations that the greater Western fanbase's memes carry.

>>10110998

Loli vamp sisters were always super popular.

>>10114808
Blogs don't have to be egoistical, someone can blog about useful things such as how to carve a boat from a tree. It doesn't have to be personal information.

Why is Reimu standing on Cirno's step?

>>10114808
>should be considered harmful
Harmful to who or what?

>>10118918
that's aya you baka

>>10118918
because secondaries don't vote in these.

>>10119042
Makes perfect sense, that's why vampires are in top 10 and Alice is second.

>>10119071
Exactly.

>>10119071
PCB Alice is one of the funniest fights in the series.

they are all number one to me

>>10119099
But who is the first number one and the last number one?

>>10118932
>GOTO considered harmful

>>10114701
>Are fans from Japan intrinsically better?
A lot of the fans there attend Touhou events and actually buy things. Many fans even contribute to the fandom. All of the organized Touhou events are done by fans. I very rarely see them getting into shit flinging arguments as often as everyone does here and very rarely do I see them blowing aspie gaskets over memes they don't like. To top it off, they are far better at the games than almost anyone from the west. So yes, they are intrinsically better.
