  • Thank you for telling me about Artificial Dream, I’ll have to check it out!

    Gensokyo no Nazo was fun, forget if I finished though. Started and didn’t finish Satori Komeiji’s Mental Education, it was cute. Bunny Love Expert was a cute and short puzzle game. Forgot how far I got on Koumajou Densetsu II: Yougen no Chingonka but it was gorgeous. I do not know if these are still here but there were a couple bullet hells I found when searching “Touhou” on the iOS App Store and I enjoyed them, and I found one freemium idler on the iOS App Store that I had a lot of fun with cheating for the premium currency and rolling the gacha with it. Might have played Touhou Luna Nights, if so it was also fun.


  • Your engagement with the Touhou fandom sounds pretty similar to mine, right down to trying to learn the songs. What fan games have you tried?

    Also you got me to look up Rensenware. At first I thought it was maybe a typo, but the “rensen” bit sounded familiar, once I found out what it was it made sense:

    Rensenware (Korean: 련선웨어; stylized as rensenWare) is ransomware that infects Windows computers. It was created as a joke by Kangjun Heo (허강준; alias “0x00000FF”) and first appeared in 2017. Rensenware is unusual as an example of ransomware in that it does not request the user pay the creator of the virus to decrypt their files, instead requiring the user to achieve a required number of points in the bullet hell game Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object before any decryption can take place.

    I ended up delving into yukkuri as my weird end. I’m the type who can’t watch Fight Club without being told when the violence occurs so I can look away, so it’s very weird that I was a-okay with yukkuri (as in consuming the content personally, it existing is fine regardless of if I can personally handle it haha).








  • For anyone confused like me, looking at this on the artist’s Pixiv shows that the Star Sapphire-looking character is Kaguya’s VTuber rig thingy. Kaguya’s the one who said insulting things on stream, it is not her being angry at people forgiving Star Sapphire for that.

    EDIT: Failed to realize this was posted 16 days ago, leaving this here for anyone coming across it browsing.





  • I just checked the community a little more and that was kind of a dumb question of me because you have posted there before 😅 thanks for the answer, it is on my MyAnimeList now as Plan to Read! Curious if it is more a comedy or if it turns out dark as the summary suggests.

    Wondering if I should make a new otome isekai community here, it might get more engagement as they are indeed anime and manga. Although some are manwha which might not be allowed as that is Korean and not Japanese and this instance’s sidebar says

    For all things anime and other related Japanese media such as manga, games, vtubers, and light novels.

    However, given some of them are manga and anime, it should be okay to let manwha in as it follows the genre. I’d feel really bad and frankly annoyed excluding manwha that fits the genre.


  • Thanks for the “mostly fanart posts” disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that’s what !episode_discussion@ani.social is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!
