/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Shit, I had a feeling months ago that the site was gonna kick the bucket soon and tried to download as much of the translated doujins as I could but not even half of those links worked before so I gave up. Rip
You can try this: https://web.archive.org/web/20190309094626/http://www.gensokyo.org/manga-links but I doubt half of the links will work this time around, especially with Wayback Machine. You could try later dates too.

Oh my god, I haven't checked the site for years but there are still doujins I'd like to read.
Worst timeline. Where else can I get list of translated doujins that is just as big?

EOP tears

>>22202647
FUCK

Anyone have the ip address?

Its just the domain name geez, surely somebody will renew it or take other name.

I've been keeping the translated doujins and downloading them for about 8 years now, I always had a feeling that this would happen.
I could upload it to MEGA if you all want, it's roughly 18GBs last I remembered.
They're not too well sorted, but I tried my best, kind of gave up because of the sheer volume and lack of time on my part.

Oh, it's actually about 40GBs. I'll still upload it. Will post again when finished.

thanks for the heads up. sad, their translations were great, mainly when they insisted on making a standalone translation pack for ULiL, despite TasoFro's and THCRAP efforts
>>22204763
a torrent would be more plausible anon

>>22204900
I've been compressing it this whole time, I'll take requests for any particular circle though.

>>22203275
Is Reimu retarded? Why is she eating her own hair?

>>22204650
As long everything is saved it's okay

>>22204915
Can you separate H and non-H? Thank you

>>22205070
I only have Non-H. The reason why it's so big is because I saved a lot of doujin books from exhentai. Generally those are also the ones that are unsorted. The Gensokyo manga are mostly if not all sorted.
Also I won't make a torrent as I have no experience doing so. Sorry about that.

>>22204763
Thank you so much

>>22202930
This. The replays were saved it's all good.

>>22205077
40GB of non-H? That's massive!
You're doing god's work.

This reminds me that I have a bunch of their stuff as well. Almost everything non-h till around 2014 I'd assume. I simply stopped collecting at that time, because I didn't read stuff anymore. But yeah, it's on my external HDD in case it's really necessary. 27gb non-h. I've about half of it ordered by original release though (and sometimes even very roughly rated in the filename of the folder of a circle), so it's kinda weird.

>>22202647
Bump.

Panda almost died. Now this. Goddammit I really need to archive my stuff.

>>22204125
OYP was down for a week, then the owner announced the site's resign he was too busy to maintain the site...

Im not going to DL anything uploaded to mega by random people from 4chan so I guess that's it then.

>>22207521
I've decided to upload to Google Drive, and I won't compress the folder, which isn't too great if you want the entire archive, but works if you want an individual artist's work.
I apologize for the delay, something came up. I've got work in the morning but I'm willing to sacrifice sleep for this.
I had a bad dream pertaining to this last night.

>>22207521
Does even this >>22210723
caring, selfless anon sound evil to you? How do you sleep at night, anon?

>>22210723
Godspeed, Anon.

There are backup torrents up to 2013 at nyaa. Search for gaku touhou and sort by size,

>>22205077
40 GB of non H doujinshi? you are a saint

The vast majority of non h touhou stuff I have read through danbooru.

>>22202647
How can we contact the old admin? The site is too important to stay down, since that's where most fan translators gather to translate non-h touhou doujins.

https://pastebin.com/bZMK2qrr
Here it is.

>>22220038
>https://pastebin.com/bZMK2qrr
It's even sorted by artist, fantastic

>>22220038
Thank you anon!

>>22220038
If this is a clean download you are a hero

>>22220038
I tried downloading 3 times it keeps downloading separate archives and missing one. If it's easy for you to zip it up do you think you can do it again?

>>22220038
Thank you very much, kind anon.

>>22222552
I actually didn't upload the folder zipped. I figured I'd let people browse the folder and its subfolders so that a) they could look at the individual files and folders themselves in order to make sure it was legit, and b) to allow them to download subfolders if they didn't want the entire archive.
Maybe it's Google Drive itself giving you problems. That's part of the reason this took me as long as it did.

>>22222697
I know. I hate it.

>>22204650
>I could upload it to MEGA if you all want
please do

>>22222707
He hates it!

>>22229236
He hates it less, now that he's got it working....

>>22229236
ZAWA ZAWA ZAWA

>>22222552
A few folders are empty, did you check the ones missing from your DL?

>>22231928
never mind, these folders are older than the rest and probably were there for other reasons.

What about the alternative or backup for voile.gensokyo.org ?
There are dozen of translation scripts there that yet to be typeset.

>>22232241
bump.

>>22232241
Don't know about an alternative but always check Wayback Machine first:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190912213019/http://voile.gensokyo.org/
Try and save as much as you can I guess

I wonder if the person who owns maribelhearn.com would be willing to host all of gensokyo.org's old content.

another bump

>>22220038
How do I download all of these? google drive just stops zipping the files halfway through

>>22239488
If you're using chrome, make sure your browser allows multiple file downloads by clicking the lock beside the url.

>>22202647
who?

>>22240550
Not him, but I'd been trying with Firefox. I'll try with Chrome and see.

>>22204763
too much

>>22244640
You don't have to download them all.

>>22202930
Nipponjins' archival proficiency is terrible tho

Been years since I visited there or even read a Touhou related doujin I think, but still want to give thanks for the small team that kept doing their thing there; after Pooshlmer went there wasn't much left to fill the gap during those odd years.

>>22202647
stay dieded

>>22202647
Good

>>22202647
Oh shit

You only care about it only when it died

>>22202647
End of an era

Did anyone save the replay archive?

>>22270887
More like, we only talk about it when it dies. When its there, we just use it. Nothing needs to be discussed. Just because you're new enough that you didn't know what it was doesn't mean people didn't care.

>>22270887
I'd check for updates every day for the last 7 years.

>>22270887
Why the fuck would you discuss it on /jp/ when you can just use it and use MAV?

>>22270887
Rude but true.

>>22270887
I didn't want to talk to /jp/ about derivative works because you losers have ridiculously unrealistic expectations. Call me sensitive or even a liberal but the negative reactions I got from threads here were so over the top malicious that I couldn't even enjoy fan works for a while.
So it's really weird now seeing everyone acting like they loved non-erotic doujinshi.

>>22285805
>but the negative reactions I got from threads here were so over the top malicious that I couldn't even enjoy fan works for a while
You posted walfas or what?

>>22285805

Because technically, anything that isn't sanctioned by ZUN, the creator, is just categorically false or at best speculation and not canon. So why would you bother discussing it seriously? You can have good fun if you don't take it seriously but you took it too seriously.

Which is why at best, doujinshis are usually best read as porn and non-erotic doujinshi only works best if it is completely unrelated for the most part to what has been established by ZUN.

I USED TO HATE SECONDARYSHIT UNTIL A MINUTE AGO NOW I LOVE IT

>>22287634
Not even discussing, /jp/ outright hates secondaries with an irrational passion so it's bizarre that you're all pretending to like it now?
Like fuck I remember posting some years back a KeinexKaguya comedy story and people spammed the fuck out of the thread about how shit quality and unfunny the jokes were. Dude it's just a slice of life comic, why the ridiculously high expectations?

You act like a secondary fanwork personally killed your dog or some such. Get therapy.

>>22290362
You seem bitter that some dude gave you bad replies to your post a few years ago, /jp/ is not a single person you know

>>22285805
>the negative reactions I got from threads here were so over the top malicious that I couldn't even enjoy fan works for a while.
anon c'mon now, you're falling for it

>>22291604
>nothing is born out of criticism
I think I almost died

>>22274010
I think the link in the OP has all the old replays.

>>22290344
Nobody hated secondary material. Secondary material is a big part of what makes Touhou great. What people hated were people who only knew about secondary material and never touched a single official game, manga, or otherwise.
>>22290362
Sounds like you posted literal garbage, took it personally when people made fun of you, and won't let it go. There are some really good secondary material.

In fact, just to give those who haven't has the chance to read any secondary material because they never bothered to or didn't know where to start I'll drop 2 reccomendations. It'll also let the shitposters know I'm not just talking out my ass.

Fuantei makes some some really funny stuff, a lot of focus on Futo, but also on other characters.

Bomber Grape also made a few really good doujins. I'm pretty sure he made Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, which had a really great anime too.

>>22290362

I have no problems against secondary material but the namesake of secondary is bestowed upon it for a good reason.

As >>22292980 states, It's not unreasonable again to have fun with it either and good fun can be had, but people rightfully will not like material that flies against canon or twists established characteristic traits too much, which happens all too often in big fandom for various reasons, so you can never ever make unreasonable claims or take stuff too seriously about it.

You nor anyone else are not controlling the direction of the work/franchise, you are participating in a fandom that you like along with many other people, so don't make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to works that aren't from or sanctioned from the creator that is for the sole purpose of extending your enjoyment of said work/franchise.

I'll miss this site.

OneYukkuriPlace has died too...

>>22306860
fuck wait really?
i hope enough people saved the yukkurisim and other weird games that were posted on the forums and uploaded it somewhere else, i don't want my favorite timewaster to be gone forever

>>22294897
>but people rightfully will not like material that flies against canon or twists established characteristic traits too much
even ZUN is fine with this shit. look at the list of the people who he's had on nikenme radio. the people he did the 20th anniversary stream with. the people who he picked to do his various manga. people who act like they're too good for "unserious" secondary material are just being pointlessly elitist cunts and should be ridiculed for it.

>>22306923
not serious != completely ignoring canon
Plenty of humorous stuff doesn't. And even the stuff that does, usually does it for comedic effect, so people enjoy it anyway.

>>22308006
IOSYS greatest hits completely ignore canon. they're like public enemy number one for people who hate secondary works. and ZUN gets along with them just fine.

>>22308029
So, wait. The point you're trying to make is that ZUN is cool with that one circle who has been with Touhou since forever and made a lot of fanon shit a good deal before a lot of canon was established and became relatively well known? IOSYS is fine. The older stuff doesn't hold up well because as time went on, we got much more established characterization. A good deal of other stuff is also just blatantly not even trying to follow canon with over the top parody. They aren't writing stories. This isn't even a valid comparison.

You're trying to argue people hate secondary works and are being elitist, but several people here have stated otherwise. Please tell me this isn't >>22290362 I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume not.

>>22308254
>before a lot of canon was established
there was never a point in time in which tasukete eirin or alice stole the precious thing or convictor yamaxanadu held up well against the canon. it wasn't new, more developed characterization that did those in. they were never even remotely faithful to the canon and they were never intended to be anything of the sort. they were, from the very beginning, intended to be over-the-top fucking dumb. nor did rocket fuel 21's doujins ever have any basis in canon: they invented ships - often multiple competing ships - out of whole cloth. and ZUN's perfectly fine with that because it's secondary work and people can write as much fanfiction about gensokyo as they want, the same way as ZUN's entire stock in trade is writing fanfiction about japanese mythology.

>but several people here have stated otherwise
well, i guess if people say they're not being elitist, it must be true, despite having standards even higher than ZUN himself.

>I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume not.
i'm not him, but i hate most of you all the same.

>>22308308
I disagree with your first point. Both on the basis that when I say canon was 'established and well known' I'm saying when people started to care about it. Marisa Stole the Precious Thing was back in 2006. Secondaries were rampant back then.

>rocket fuel 21's doujins
I don't even know who this is. Why are you bringing up examples FOR me? You're doing this with IOSYS too. You're basically trying to tell me what I'm having a problem with and then saying I'm wrong for it. That doesn't make for a good argument at all.

And again, for the last time, there's serious fanon, and fanon in good fun. And frankly, I think there is a lot worse than IOSYS. I can understand why ZUN has a good rep with them. They've been fan creators for a LONG time, and frankly a lot of their fan music is damn good. I'm not talking about the meme songs either. Unsure if you even know this, but they made proper albums and such.

>well, i guess if people say they're not being elitist, it must be true, despite having standards even higher than ZUN himself.
Putting words into people's mouths, yeah, I guess we seem <insert thing you say>.

>i'm not him, but i hate most of you all the same.
At least we have some common ground.

>>22309124
>I don't even know who this is
Silent Sinner in Blue mangaka.

>>22308254
>The older stuff doesn't hold up well because as time went on, we got much more established characterization
That makes absolutely zero sense. Do you really think that someone will stop reading, let's say Miko Miko Suika, because of that reason?

>>22310271
He probably do.

>>22309124
>Secondaries were rampant back then.
and they still are. you keep announcing that somehow everything has changed so that, in the year 2019, "non-canon" secondary work is bad and must be hated when it was somehow not true in the past, like there was somehow some sea change that happened five years ago when people such as yourself transformed from being uptight cunts about secondary work to being completely correct about secondary work despite nothing actually having changed about touhou project in the slightest.

>I don't even know who this is.
consider learning who aki eda is.

>And again, for the last time, there's serious fanon, and fanon in good fun.
i'll tell you a secret: all fanon is in good fun. literally fucking everybody knows it is not "real." that's what it means to produce doujin work. i can't tailor a general argument about secondaries specifically to each individual who claims to hate secondaries but are entirely incapable of identifying anything they don't like.

see, originally, i thought you were against "material that flies against canon" and "twisting established characteristic traits" but i guess you're actually 100% okay with those so in your original post you actually weren't complaining about anything at all. what a shame for me to not have noticed.

>Unsure if you even know this, but they made proper albums and such.
i've forgotten more albums than you ever knew of.

>>22310111
I only knew them by their other name.

>>22310271
Nope. Because it's not totally out of character. It's also cute and fun to read.

>>22310656
You are utterly pathetic. You're still trying to put arguements in my mouth. Much like >>22310315

I don't know who hurt your feelings bad enough to try an argue that people liking fan works is a new thing, but stop trying to make a fool of yourself. You're trying to talk about stuff you clearly don't know enough about.

Bothers me when people engage in an internet argument and aren't even willing to Bing things they don't know.

>>22312083
>You are utterly pathetic. You're still trying to put arguements in my mouth.
YOU are the one who said that "material that flies against canon" is bad. but then you're okay with work that material that flies against canon. the rest of this discussion has just been you backpedaling away from it and pretending you never said that shit. what an extraordinary shiteater you are.

>You're trying to talk about stuff you clearly don't know enough about.
there's a hundred percent chance i know more about touhou, ZUN, /jp/, and doujin work than you do.

>>22312242
enlighten us, smartass. tell us poor benighted souls in this thread what we're missing.

>>22204929
shes ready to end it all

I haven't used it in years, but still, fuck.

>>22316376
>there's a hundred percent chance i know more about touhou, ZUN, /jp/, and doujin work than you do.
Oof. Did I hit a nerve? You seem to keep mentioning this. Either way, you sound full of shit.

You're conflating parody with unintended misrepresentation. And I'm pretty sure you're interpreting 'I don't like it' as 'nobody should make these.' Not only were you putting examples in my mouth, you were telling me how I feel about them. You're creating a an enemy for you to knock down. But it doesn't exist so you look like you're just flailing around.

And honestly? Looking back at our conversation? I think I see where the problem might lie.
>but people rightfully will not like material that flies against canon or twists established characteristic traits too much
I didn't post this, for clarification. Which is what seemed to set off your tard rage. But what I was arguing was why people have both a tendency and a right to not like it. My explanation about canon? I was saying that over time, more people -naturally- became more familiar with the canon.

>ZUN is cool with that one circle who has been with Touhou since forever and made a lot of fanon shit a good deal before a lot of canon was established and became relatively well known
Nothing here is incorrect. A LOT of canon has been established since 2006. And a LOT more people are familiar with Touhou canon since 2006.

So, I'll ask once. Stop trying to give me arguments. You're making yourself look worse than when you're trying to assert knowledge superiority on the topic.

>>22285876
Walfas are great, don't be a snob.

>>22317576
>Oof. Did I hit a nerve? You seem to keep mentioning this.
are you actually retarded? YOU are the one who brought it up. but when i respond to it means i'm obsessed or something. real clever argumentation.

>You're conflating parody with unintended misrepresentation.
so where are these "unintended misrepresentations" you're complaining about? pretty much every derivative work is labeled a "touhou parody fanbook."

>And I'm pretty sure you're interpreting 'I don't like it' as 'nobody should make these.
yes, because that's how it's been for generations and generations in /jp/. if it was just a matter of personal taste nobody would give a shit.

>I didn't post this, for clarification.
awesome, you just chose to respond as if you were the same person, placing yourself in the position of appearing to defend the statement, so you could later use it to on-up someone.

>Nothing here is incorrect. A LOT of canon has been established since 2006. And a LOT more people are familiar with Touhou canon since 2006.
it's not one circle, dude. it's DOZENS of circles. it's not like these parodies haven't continued all the way up into the fucking present day.

>So, I'll ask once. Stop trying to give me arguments.
i do realize it's useless to give you arguments because you literally just ignore them. the only argument you actually have is "WELL THINGS WERE DIFFERENT IN 2016" without ever explaining how parody representations in 2006 were any more faithful than parody representations in the 2019.

>>22312242
>aren't even willing to Bing things they don't know

Why someone with a working brain would do that?
