I once had the first manga volume and the original box set with volume 1 in it. I was like in 6th grade when we had a new book fare come in. We had one every year, but I never found anything that grabbed my attention. I think it had to do with the fact that I was so immersed in school work due to my difficulty functioning at par with other students that any book that I had to out serious effort into simply reading was overkill for me. I had to work twice as hard at school work than the others, so when I saw manga there it was like a whole new world for me. It was like my second manga I had ever bought. I hid it from the other people my age, because even back then anime and manga or as others would call it "Weird Japanese cartoons" were seen as awkward and weird. Then there was that time I found the box set with the first volume dvd. It bought it at game stop I think. I never found the other dvds in the store nor the mangas and I didn't really know what the internet was back then to shop for the full sets. I sold them a few years back.

I found these at a convention just recently.

I didn't get to buy it yet though....
I didn't have shit for money. The guy said I could order it from him online through email. Kind of shitty to do online business via email I think. He could make a much better profit if he had an actual website. Who really even does that anymore anyways? It's not like it's 2000 here man. Plus each game is $25 each. I have to send him a "mail order" which is by Otaku standards and ancient technique to which you acquire goods through the mail trusting the other party sends you their goods you send cash for. So so silly. Either that or I wait another entire year for them to come back to my city with their booth that may or may not have these games again.

Kaguya

* No hat or headware of any kind.
* Her hair is boring. Completely straight, not even any curls.
* Boring clothes. A blouse and a dress. No frills.
* Generic as HELL power. ``Manipulation of eternity'' wow. So she doesn't ever have to worry about getting older. Half the important people in Gensokyo are already immortal or have other means of staying young.
* A princess. You can't get any more generic than that.

I could think of more reasons why she's generic, but it's superfluous and I'd be wasting my time. We all already know how generic she is.

Please stop spamming your shitty opinion over and over again to give the illusion of popularity.

>>10897037
>No hat or headware
The fact that the majority of touhou characters have hats/headware and Kaguya doesn't is a distinguishing factor.
>Her hair is boring
If the hime cut just means "completely straight" to you, then your perception of hairstyles is too unrefined to allow any argument about hair to be valid. Even if it were only completely straight, that's still unique and beautiful.
>Boring clothes
Please take a look at the beautiful designs on said blouse and dress, as well as the multitude of ribbons.
>Generic as HELL power
You clearly don't know what you're talking about here. It's the Hourai elixir that keeps her young, not her eternity manipulation. When she and Eirin were hiding, she used her eternity manipulation to prevent the history of Eientei from moving forwards, but she stopped this somewhat after the arrival of Reisen. Also, her immortality is on a whole different level than that of the other youkai in Gensokyo. Although strong ones can live a long time, Mokou and Kaguya are the only ones who can truly live forever.
>A princess
Except she's not. She's an ex-princess, and currently self-proclaimed human who lives a normal life on earth.

I could think of a ton of reasons she's not generic, but I'd be wasting my time, and I'm running out of characters for this post.

>>	Anonymous Fri, May 17, 2013 01:01:13 No.10897096 Kaguya is generic because of the character she is based off though. The folklore is nice and the only thing really generic about her from ZUN is that she has bland character design.

I want to say Kaguya but she's really not all that generic because ZUN put a spin on her character. She's not the same Kaguya from the fairy tale.

ZUN's Kaguya didn't send those guys on impossible quests because she wanted to stay with her adopted parents, she did it because she likes to fuck with people. Because she's a bitch like that.

None of the posts in this thread were me until now.
Don't assume multiple posts that disagree with your shitty opinion are samefag posts.
Kaguya is unpopular, for a number of reasons, and the topic of this thread is one of them.

Yeah, except ZUN kaguya is not generic at all.

Personally, I find it interesting how she has this carefree attitude lying on top of a lot of deep personal tensions. Perhaps the most obvious is her identification with the Earth despite her Lunarian heritage. For lunarians, their avoidance of impurity is a deep-set cultural value, and the fact that Kaguya adopts a favorable opinion towards humans at all is incredible. On a more immediate scale, there's the tension between her wanting to explore the impure earth, versus Eirin's insistence that she remain in Eientei for her safety. This bestows upon her an interesting mixture of knowledge and naivety that's just so damn cute. There's her tension with Mokou, their rivalry vs the realization that they are the only two immortals, and will need to get along. Also, her stage dialogue is hilarious, and her spellcards are diverse and beautiful.
