/jp/ - Otaku Culture

WHAT'S HER NAME?

>>15230680
Yatsuhashi is not a valid answer since she got popular because of that ironically enough.

I'd say half of PC-98 2hus.

>>15087682

Soga

koishi

>>15230686
That's my oka-san Kanako

>>15230699
She's well know for being universally disliked though.

>>15230680
By Zun anyway.

Medicine has always been a never heard

>>15230739
Canon answer.

Waste of a perfectly good design.

>>15231146
Not forgotten by the artists though. She somehow gets a lot of fanart still just for being part of the SDM.

Tokiko?

>>15231157
Sure she gets fanart, but due to lack of info she doesnt really have a personality, which is a shame. She's just there. The proto koishi.

Rin Satsuki, so forgotten that even ZUN forgot to put her in the game...

Out of the Windows-era main series, Notben of course. I feel like Aki-sisters as well to some degree, I never remember their names.

>>15231200
What if Rin is actually the Hakurei goddess?

>>15230734
Medium popularity thanks to Carcharias.

>>15231146
Receives coverage based solely on the fact that she's an inhabitant of the SDM.

>>15231201
>Aki Sisters
Those have a small, yet staunch following.
Minoriko is the one with a character as warm and supple as her bosom.
Shizuha is the one that's as light and wistful as a falling leaf in autumn.

>>15231169
Yeah!

Its medicine

Those two fuckers
some PC-98 2hus like Sariel or Konngara

>>15231105
>universally dislike
This can't be true

>>15231461

>>15231159
who is this turboMystia?

>>15231159
Yeah, probably her.

>>15231313
>Carcharias
I miss her. A lot.

>red hair

MUH DIIIICK

Series-wide, easily anyone from PC-98.

Someone like Kikuri, YuugenMagan, etc. Orange is somewhat notable for her resemblance to Meiling. Final bosses shouldn't count.

Recent era, Yatsuhashi probably. Maybe Tojiko, sadly. Strange since I thought I remember her being liked when the game first came out.

I feel like Tojiko might have gotten her thunder stolen by who's probably the most forgotten of the ex bosses, Raiko. Even ZUN forgot about her.

I don't believe Medicine is forgotten. I just don't think anyone likes her for whatever reason so she just doesn't get attention.

Personally I can never remember who's who of the Prismrivers so I just call them by their collective name. Nearly everyone in the series I can at least remember their name.

>>15231313
>Aki Sisters

Yeah, Akis are popular/known for being unpopular.

>>15231159
She has a small following mostly born out of Rinnosuke pairings. Probably more of a following than someone like Medicine.

>>15230680
Who's that in your pic?

>>15231687

THE FIVE STONES have just about bugger all art or fan matter related to them.

'select all images with a bus: Come on Gensokyo 199"

I wish Kotohime would come back.

not Benben

>>15231146
I know her because Koakuma Ringo

Either of the WHOkumo Siters, or LITERALLY WHYko.

This cutie really deserves to be remembered.

/thread

>>15231297
how so? she is a kirin

>>15232049
I wanna see her with the eintei house

>>15231159
I saw her in an MMD animation and thought she was Remilia for like thirty seconds.

>>15232474
I wanna see Yumemi meet Eirin.

Letty and Medicine

How could anyone forget about her?

Assuming we keep it to official games...

Easy Answer: Any PC-98 that isn't Elly, Yuuka, Mima, Alice, or Orange

No-PC98-Answer: DDC honestly seems like the "literally who" game. The Tsukumo sisters, Yatsuhashi, and Raiko all seem pretty forgettable, and Seija is someone I lose track of a lot. Tojiko is a pretty literally who as well.

The weather girls will always have some degree of people remembering them because they're the weather, although I do admit I usually forget the Aki sisters.

Koakuma and Daiyousei won't ever be forgotten given the support they have from fans, especially Koakuma. Even if they do nothing and don't show up again you remember them.

I don't know if I'd agree with Medicine. She seems kind of memorable to me. Not like a major character but on the level of your average 2hu.

Canon Answer: Koishi

My Answer: I always forget the spider chick at the start of SA but pretty much everyone in DDC other than the Waggysaggy, The Banki, and the Inchling are forgettable. I also forget Sagume because she sits between Smugremy and Clownpiss.

Its weird how forgettable the 2hus in DDC seem in retrospect because Ten Desires and LOLK are also pretty new but feel like they have a much more memorable cast.

A follow-up good question would be who is the most memorable/recognizable touhou other than Remiu and Marisa. Probably Flan or Alice? People that even those who barely know about Touhou would know.

>>15233167
Probably either flan or sakuya

>>15231461
idk i like soy sauce bowl girl

>>15231146
Implying I'd forget my favourite 2h's assistant.

>>15233167
Your post is forgettable

>>15233291
Your penis is forgettable.

>>15233167
Cirno. Not a single character is more widely recognized than the meme fairy.

Kisume, really. She has nothing going for her and is only associated with Yamame be stage appearance.

The Tsukumo and Aki sisters at least have that popular because they're unpopular joke.


Really, I think what determines how popular and character will be is their relations to other characters, factions, game appearances and fads/memes.

>>15230680
That's easy
Benben Tsukumo
Yatsuhashi Tsukumo

For me:
(Excluding the PC 98)
Stage 1: Letty
Stage 2: /jp/ loves Hina, but I find her forgettable
Stage 3: Doremy is my favorite LoLK, but she is really unpopular compared to the other stage 3s
Stage 4: Tsukumo sisters. Unrelated note, I always forget that Reimu and Marisa are stage 4 bosses and frequently forget them even being bosses in IN
Stage 5: Shou
Stage 6: none of them are literally whos but Junko is the least popular cause she's the newest one
Extra: Raiko. I also think while Ran is very popular, most people forget that she is an extra boss because of Yukari

>>15233895
Aren't they just blobs of brown and gray which would look more fitting in a slav shithole?

>>15231461
One made it into a fighting game while another got a whole game to herself due to her popularity. Are you fucking kidding me

>>15233167
I think you're on the money with Alice. There's people who don't even know what touhou is that recognize her thanks to her former meme status.

I would post her, but I don't remember her.

>>15232398
as long as her infamous 'time out attack' is mentioned I think she might be safe from obscurity.

>>15230739
Came here to post this

>>15234062
Alice probably hits the broadest spectrum of people for remembrance

>people who only play the games and don't pay attention to fanworks, as she shows up a bunch of games and has been playable
>people who only know of touhou through memes and videos
>people who mostly consume touhou through doujins and other fanworks
>people who are some combination of the above with varying degrees of awareness of the game / fan culture

Cirno and Flan are probably more recognizable from people that don't know Touhou but Alice is probably one of the most memorable characters for all kinds of fans or non-fans

>>15234285
I would say Sakuya hits these points some more than Alice as she's been playable on more games and was also a target of memes and she's featured in many fanworks also

>>15231687
>Personally I can never remember who's who of the Prismrivers so I just call them by their collective name. Nearly everyone in the series I can at least remember their name.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

>>15234062
Yeah, she ever had a fanbook written about her reach worldwide popularity

>>15230686
Hello not-benben

>>15230680
Easily.

>>15236510
Go back to your containment thread, Kiso.

>>15236510
Literally my mom's sea captain

>>15236529
Oh I left my trip on from earlier. That's embarrassing.

>>15236510
not while she's around she aint

Literally forgotten, despite being a stage boss

>>15236691
It's not forgotten if no one knows its existence in the first place.

>>15236702
THE only things to rattle Reimus' cage - badly; at the time

https://youtu.be/iAhCWh5TkiM?t=1m58s
She's #100 now

>>15233167
>orange not forgetable
how so?

>>15236510
She's one of my favorite stage 4 bosses

>>15239598
Is Orin really in the 45-50 range? I always assumed she was very popular. Also didn't expect Parsee to be in that good of a relative standing

>>15234619
I think most people do this, no? I can't remember them individually other than Lunasa because she has the moon on her hat.

>>15239680
The only reason I got their names right is that I matched them to the Brothers Gibb viz:

Merlin = Maurice (studious and overshadowed)
Lunassa = Barry (heart-throb lead-ish one)
Lyrica = Robin (sweet + weird at the same tine)
and
Layla = Andy (first one to go)

>>15239680
>>15240121
I remember Lunasa and Merlin because Lunasa have my favourite colour (black) and that Lunar hat and Merlin have my favourite hairstyle. Lyrica however don't have any notable point so I often forgot about her.

>>15239598
I thought Okuu was 26th or 27th. Did she go up this year?

>>15231687
I find it pretty easy to remember the names of the Prismriver Sisters mostly because of their dialogue and Merlin's defeat image.

This fucker

>>15252354
I don't feel like Alice's Dolls really count, but I suppose more people do remember Hourai over Shanghai

Seeing how unpopular Raiko is sort of makes me sad since I really like her design and her theme. The one character I always forget about is the bucket girl in SA's stage 1, I've never even seen any fanart or mention of her anywhere.

I'm really fond of Meira and Kurumi for reasons I cannot for the life of me figure out.

>>15233895
Benben is easy because her name is easy. Also her design is actually pretty good imo.

Yatsuhashi is cursed with a hard name; being a Primsriver clone; a forgettable and bland design and having no real fanbase.

>>15252363
Really? I thought Shanghai was more known. Shanghai is usually portrayed as Alice's favorite doll and all and is even her shottype in IN.

>>15252391
I love Kisume, best stage 1 midboss.

>>15230680
>Forgotten 2hu
Zun forgot about this one a long time ago
;_;

>>15254111
I SHALL NEVER THOUGH

>>15253983
>Yatsuhashi is cursed with a hard name

Is this literally your first ever Japanese franchise? Yatsuhashi's name isn't even that hard.

>>15230680
I have never seen or heard anyone talk about Ellen before. Isn't she sort of a another version of Byakuren Hijiri?
Please do inform me if I got something wrong.

>>15265068
Think of a childish and cheerful Featherine without her memory device.

>>15265129
So she is the human girl version of Spongebob?

>>15265144
I don't know what that is.

>>15265148

>>15265154
She is Spongebob with Alzheimer.*

Play Touhoumon like Puppet Play and PDP, it really helps for remembering even obscure ones.

>>15265068
Not really. She's a mage who stays young forever, at the price of having pretty much no memory of anything.

Either way, that's a character ZUN stole from some old manga, so she's high on the list of 2hus that will definitely not come back.

>>15265524
This so much

After Playing the emerald hack i remember literally all 2hs up to ddc and cant understand people not remembering aki sisters or tokiko

On the other hand idk at all who yatsuhashi is

>>15267928
Also Marisa pretty much absorbed her entire design.

>>15233924
> Stage 3: Doremy is my favorite LoLK, but she is really unpopular compared to the other stage 3s
That's because she is hated passionately.
Try Kagerou.

>>15268588
I only remember Tokiko because of that dude who was posting her all over the place here a few years ago.

>>15233573
>The Tsukumo and Aki sisters at least have that popular because they're unpopular joke.
Mhm. I actually feel like pic related is more forgettable than the Aki sisters.

>>15271451
she'll never be more forgettable because of hinaface

having the power over misfortune is kinda cool anyways

Alright how about Lily white? I mean does she even do anything other than yell "IT'S SPRING!" once a year and then fuck off the rest of the time? She's like the touhou equivalent of a groundhog.

>>15271491
If we were just talking PCB I'd agree, but I don't think anyone who's played PoFV seriously could forget Lily.

>>15230680
I forgot.

>>15252391
>raiko
>unpopular
>easily has one of the best themes in DDC

you just went full retard.

>>15271491
I don't know if the seasonal 2hus are ever really forgettable, because if you remember one you can probably remember the others by association

Lily especially appears in multiple games, and Letty/Aki at least show up at the start so you see them a lot if you reset to try for 1ccs

Who the fuck is Seiran?

>>15275946
The blue rabbit that isn't that other blue rabbit.

>>15275946
Trix with a new haircut after Tony & Crispy gang made a bet with Yukari.

>>15267928
talking of that, exist raws of that manga?
I wanna know more about the fuwafuwa lady

>>15275946
mima in rabbit disguise

>>15233167
>who is shinki

>>15275946

how can you forget her with that theme?

>>15234467
This is probably not a common thing, but before I actually played Touhou I genuinely didn't know who Sakuya was despite hearing the generally widespread memes. I was surprised when I realized Flowering Night was supposed to be her theme.
