/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Ellen is the only Touhou character who I feel like I'd have a shot at marrying.

>>45535313
I also saw it! Really happy he drew her. Have other people here read Ellen's original manga?
It's baffling how one of her biggest traits isn't touched at all in fanworks.

>>45535313
I check twitter and I don’t see Ellen’s new art!? Where did you get that OP?
>>45536888
I don’t think her manga or other ZUN’s Inspired materials were that popular (aside from Jojo). I think most magaka would be jealous of ZUN than anything.

I wanted to draw her today but I was just too busy unfortunately.
>>45536888
I’m not sure many people are even aware of her manga, speaking of, I should really finish it.
>>45538478
It is on the creator’s twitter, take a look.

>>45535313
Takemoto is the definition of too little too late.

oh! that's incredible!
hooray for ellen!

Here is an old Ellen I drew, she’s so cute.

>>45544508
Very cute Ellen!

>>45549774
Fatty

>>45535888
because she's a child?

>>45569649
She's not a child at all

>>45569649
Because she's retarded just like me.

>>45540144
Imagine your entire legacy being overshadowed by another dude insert your character into his game... sad

Who?

>>45582996
Unforgettable girl Fuwafuwa Ellen

This is an old drawing of Ellen I did when I first 1cced with her, I do believe she is the worst shot type in PoDD. Goated game btw

>>45589517
Very cute. Ellen deserves more art.

Sadly i can't post mine on blue board.

>>45589681
Does she have big boob?

>>45589780
She's blonde, of course she has big boobs.

>>45589681
post in catbox and send the link

>>45589990
Its on pixiv, one of the most recent lewds of her.
Very fluffy one.

She needs to make comeback in next spinoff game.

>>45600777
Might not want to hold onto that hope. I think she's like the one PC-98hu who can't really come back

>>45602427
This is one crossover i would want ZUN to do.

>>45602427
there's not ever been a source for this, but I'd agree that she's a bit unlikely. Afaik no one has ever asked Izumi his opinion on ZUN using his character

>>45600777
I wish we could, but the best we got was a Marisa skin refering her. The best bet we could have of her appearing would be as a background manga character unfortunately. Still would be a huge win!

Here is another Ellen I drew a while ago, I really should have drawn her today but I drew something else in MS Paint instead so this is the best ya getting, I love her so much.

>>45535313
>takemoto thread
Has anyone else here seen (or played) this masterpiece?
https://youtu.be/jSBIeYCshdY?si=jxFVS5UUzOtKtcgm
There's nothing quite like Takemoto's work, is there? Genuine happiness in such a polluted world. He definitely influenced ZUN's writing a lot, I think he really appreciated that refreshing feeling. It's probably what kept me interested in 2hu in the first place.

>>45619353
I had read an article about it, but I had never played (or watched) it. Wow, it looks so good. His characters are so cute! I still have to try to read more of his works, I've only ever read the Ellen chapters. He's not obscure as some people seem to think.

>>45619353
Some of the frames from this could have been reskinned TH3 - 5 endings
I think ZUN / AM must have seen a lot of takemoto's art before making PoDD some how...

>>45624794
yeah, that's literally what he did. I mean, the Takemoto influences start right in HRtP

>>45631864
>the Takemoto influences start right in HRtP
How?

>>45632586
nta but in one of the endings, it's in the pc98 omake pics

>>45535313
Does Izumi knows the existence of Touhou?

>>45632586
In the Konngara ending of HRtP, the Yin-Yang Orb transforms into a two-legged spherical creature that's taken directly from one of his works

One can hope, that one day Takemoto will get to draw something official for touhou.

Takemoto's January calendar!

>>45639253
Probably

>>45619353
Probably should check his stuff since they look really cozy, not sure where or when to start tho since my japanese level is pretty low.
>>45663267
Plot twist: He made the first tabula rasa cover

>>45671873
>spoiler
Is from 2001, right?

>>45619353
I haven't, tho it seems really neat so I'll take a look.
>>45663218
How Cute
>>45639253
Most likely, Touhou is quite popular and it's probable that someone has mentionned to him that Ellen has appeared in ZUN's work.
Anyway, have you ever heard the Hatarakimono CD album? It contains some character song and Drama which I suppose contains what would be Ellen's official voice and theme song, you can take a look at this link. Also enjoy this Ellen drawing from last year. I should really start drawing her more again since I am running out of drawing I made of her.

>>45677041
Cute Ellen! Thanks
Here's some New Year art from Takemoto

>>45671919
Yup the Y.GORO!! one. Not sure if Izumi is into composing though.
>>45535313
Characters the 2hus were based on will return before the 2hus themselves at this rate.

>>45686374
Looks very much like Kyouko back there.

Ellen is the only Touhou character who I feel like I'd have a shot at marrying.

>>45535313

okay that's two posts reposted in a row. Why

>>45700427
You know why.

>>45700427
You know the rules, and so do i~

>>45700427
Hol*niggers moment

>>45623795
He's pretty well-known in Japan. He actually did the ending card for season 2 episode 8 of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, which I'm not gonna post cause phone filenames got ruined.
>>45624794
Yeah he actually did do that with Yumimi Mix, half the PoDD characters are taken from takemoto works.
>>45671873
You'd be surprised at how easy that game is to understand, my Japanese isn't great either but it really boosted my confidence

>>45663218
>>45686374
I'm glad this guy's still active in his 60's. He made a mobile game a few years ago, I wonder if anyone here has played it.

Ellan

>>45708217
That sounds nice, what's the name? Is it still available to download?

>>45725135
Bump for this.

>>45700577
Ah, obviously. How could I forget, that she's the forgetting 2hu

her manga is good? what is about?

>>45725135
>>45734739
Mermaid Days
https://mermaiddays.com/pc/jp/index.html
iOS (EN, JP) and Android (JP). It's a 2 part VN, where part 1 is free and part 2 is $5.
Haven't played it.

>>45755349
Thank you! Downloaded it, but I could only get the JP version. Will try to enjoy it, but I can tell the art is very good. Takemoto is very good

>>45755349
Gotta check this out.

>>45746736
It's very good. It has never been typeset into English afaik, however there's a readily available German version and there's a translation of the dialogue into English
Ellen basically randomly exists in different periods of time. Then, a random male appears, and Ellen falls in love with him. She also always has a different cat. Said male is in love with a female, but for whatever reason they can't confess their love. Ellen uses her magic to help the male, trying to woo him, but her actions end up causing the male to manage to confess his love. Except for the first story, it's a bit different, but the idea is that Ellen is always in love and always fails. That's why I find so strange no one has ever made a doujin of her trying to woo Rinnosuke only to cause him to like Marisa instead

>>45778798
>It has never been typeset into English afaik, however there's a readily available German version and there's a translation of the dialogue into English
Like the ones in danbooru? link

Thoughts on Sokkrates?

>>45793981
the best of Ellen's cats
The cutest of them... I hope we're talking about the same Socrates...

fuwafuwa

>>45787063
dont work

Ok it worked but I refuse to read it in this way :(

Three retards

>>45809276
I should really get back to typesetting it in English again, but I am a dumbass at it and want to preserve the paper feel of the Scan. Although I could use the German Version since the scan is way better. If I remember I might post some of the one I did, I just kinda got lazy.

>>45809846
you are this guy who translated?
>and want to preserve the paper feel of the Scan
wait what I thought the objective was the opposite because people think it was ugly
>I might post some of the one I did
yes if its the first chapter

>>45809639
1st is lonely 2nd is horny and 3rd ?

>>45809113
Mangadex has some translated in english and german
https://mangadex.org/title/852a7d9c-d020-4110-ba1f-490b63938450/hatarakimono

>>45816005
why start in chapter 3?

>>45815989
Happy :D and/or clueless

>>45823266
Ellen's stories start on chapter three
The other chapters have nothing to do with her. Don't know if they were ever uploaded elsewhere

Bumping because I never actually thought Takemoto was still around. His recent stuff, especially >>45663218 is insanely cute.

>>45793981
Should have been in 19.

>>45809846
please do post it if you still have it, thanks for your work
It's a shame this has never been typeset when there's a good translation readily available.

>>45830512
What have in the chapters 1 and 2?

While researching trying to answer your questions I found two amazing facts
First, on some places the chapters are listed in a different order, with Ellen's chapters back to back as the first three chapters.
Second, and I can't believe this has never been mentioned before, but apparently Hatarakimono has an official drama CD!
This might make Ellen one of the few Touhous with an official voice!
Here's the Amazon jp listing:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/はたらきもの-ドラマCD/dp/B00005FD7Z
If that link doesn't work please try this one: https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%AF%E3%81%9F%E3%82%89%E3%81%8D%E3%82%82%E3%81%AE-%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9ECD/dp/B00005FD7Z

>>45859833
oops, forgot to quote. Here's an image of one of the girls that apparently appear in the Rocket Girl chapter of Hatarakimono

>>45867719
Wow, that's cool. What other hus have an official voice?

>>45868898
I don't think there are any others with strictly official voices, but I read that there's an arcade version of one of the official games and it uses voices from one of the gachas or similar

>>45868898
Flandre talks to me in my sleep

>>45816005
I read the first chapter, it's more childish than I thought but I would read more if there was more in english because Ellen is very cute.

>>45867719
>This might make Ellen one of the few Touhous with an official voice!

Rip where?

>>45887519
Nowhere, I'm afraid. At least I couldn't find it, but I don't know where people get these. Hatarakimono is completely unknown in the West outside of Ellen, so it's not surprising if it was never brought here. Perhaps someone acquainted with searching for obscure Japanese stuff could help, but I've no idea where to find such people.

>>45887418
there are more in English, just not typeset

>>45535313
lmao who the fuck is ellen

>>45896301
Found the Drama CD being sold on Yahoo Auctions. Starting (and current) price is 2480 yen.
https://neokyo.com/en/product/yahoo/l1095064627
If any anons are interested, the auction ends in 12 hours

>>45919448
Ah shit, I've noticed this post too late. Fortunately the auction got renewed, I'll go for it when it's about to close again.
I'll post a rip when it gets here.

>>45925467
It would be amazing if you manage to get it. Don't think this has been widely discussed before and even if it's known at all. Good luck!

>>45925467
Thank you anon, much appreciated! Good luck as well!

>>45925467
Thanks! Hope we can hear her voice soon!

Bumping to keep the dream alive.

Takemoto truly doesn't stop. He's been drawing these silly little comics about his life and/or random stuff, and the characters are cute.

>>45925467
What a king, there's still hope in /jp/, I hope this thread is still alive if/when you get it.

>>45962329
We've probably got one month before it's all done, so in the worst case I'll make a new thread for it.
