Yeah Touhou is huge

way bigger than any anime at comiket

Same with Kuroko

user1306322

kuroko… it's about basketball?

how can it be that popular

I thought baseball is the most popular sport in Japan

HoiHoi-san

     wow
                             such basket
very  balls
            so  bishounen
                             much  uke
many  etc.

user1306322

…body language?

Logan M

Anyway here's a video of Touhou 8 extra, which has both of them.

Of course it's a bit long since it's a gameplay video

user1306322

damn how could a bullet hell game become so popular

and not even for the gameplay

Logan M

Because cute girls

Gameplay is good though

user1306322

I'm a believer now

Logan M

way more fun than other shmups

user1306322

> youtube.com/watch?v=7GfJBzqVYdY#t=344 this is what I hate most in bullet hell games

I can't concentrate on that many things at a time

Logan M

Really? It's pretty easy compared to e.g. most Cave shooters

I think Imperishable Night extra only took me a day or so to complete after I unlocked it.

In any case, it's one of the easier ones in the series IMO. Good one to start off with if you're learning.

I think I'll stick to Dark Souls

Logan M

The guy in this video does some riskier strats than I use

Probably just for high score

user1306322

looks like one of the many scenes where Sawako tries to smile

why is it not in my watchlist I've seen it mentioned before

now it is

I love Nyanko-sensei

I'd probably make my own from softest materials and maybe even make a pillow

lol not dakimakura, ordinary pillow :D

that'd be weird

his round shape wouldn't fit on my bed if it was human-size long in diameter

although it would be hilarious to show people

imagine opening a door to a small room half of which is taken up by a gigantic Nyanko-sensei pillow

could probably just get rid of the bed then and sleep on him instead

Logan M

There's already quite a few pillows of Nyanko-sensei

user1306322

but is there a bed-sized version?

Logan M

probably

I imagine you could use this one on a bed:

user1306322

haha niiice

for shame

maybe I should open a merch shop for less popular character items

(I wouldn't know where to start if I really wanted to open a shop of any kind)

Logan M

5:45 AM

Start with cute girls

Keep in mind though that less popular characters are less popular.

So they won't sell anywhere near as well

user1306322

well that's the main problem :D

I'd like to know if a shop with only high-quality (and as a result higher price) merchandise could survive in the harsh market of today

Logan M

Ebay is terrible for anime merchandise

A rather huge fraction of everything there is bootleg

user1306322

u mean not officially licensed?

or just crappy fake

lol

Logan M

I mean made in some Chinese sweatshop

You don't want to compete with sweatshop prices, so I'd suggest avoiding ebay

user1306322

I think fans would prefer HQ production rather than cheaper bootleg

Logan M

5:52 AM

@user1306322 Yes, quality-minded fans fans would. But those aren't the people you'd get on ebay.

If it's handmade stuff you made yourself, ebay is probably fine

user1306322

probably anime related sites advertisement could help

etsy :D

would probably be banned for not having license

Logan M

But if it's anything approaching real official merchandise, find a better source

user1306322

making good stuff is hard

license holder will probably want a huge cut of sales

Taisho

Logan M

@Taisho This show is amazing

user1306322

5:54 AM

what is it/

Logan M

Yama no Susume

A 3 minute anime made me actually want to go mountain climbing.

And I hate being anywhere near outside.

user1306322

anime makes me want to do a lot of different stuff

Logan M

Second season is airing now, and has a much-needed extended runtime of 15 mins per episode

user1306322

that's why I watch it

Logan M

Also has Ogura Yui in it. Which makes it pretty much guaranteed to be worth watching.

Yui Ogura

Yui Ogura (小倉唯, Ogura Yui, born August 15, 1995 in Midori, Gunma) is a Japanese voice actress, pop idol, singer, and actress. She is a member of the idol duo YuiKaori with Kaori Ishihara and the idol unit StylipS (also with Kaori, along with Arisa Noto and Maho Matsunaga). She was also part of the Japanese pop group Happy! Style Rookies. As a solo artist, her single "Raise", which was the ending theme for the anime Campione!, reached number 8 on the Oricon chart in 2012. Other character songs (in which she sings as one of her anime characters) have also charted. She is affiliated with Sigma Seven...

Not that much

she's always a loli character

Her voice is perfect enough that she can pull either off easily.

Worth pointing out since it's come up recently that she also voices Amatsukaze from Kancolle

@ton.yeung You're missing out.

I can't imagine a good reason not to want to create your own fleet of cute ship daughters and battling enemies with them.
