Memories of Phantasm part 2 trailer teases more animated Touhou goodness

by on

A while back I posted about Memories of Phantasm, a fan made animated retelling of the Touhou Project game Perfect Cherry Blossom. With Comiket 81 behind us this past week, one of the more awesome things to come out of the convention is a trailer for the next installment!

This time we’ll get to witness the events of Subterranean Animism, and all the nuclear-god-eating bullet hell fights that occur as our heroines venture beneath the earth to discover what’s driving things out of hell and to the surface.

Personally, I always thought this was one of the more interesting plots,  as oddly enough, it deals with the threat of nuclear proliferation (much in the same way as Godzilla). I can’t wait for the whole video now, this initial taste is already so great.

Watch “Memories of Phantasm,” your fan made Touhou fix for the day

Yuyuko as seen in fan made Touhou anime Memories of Phantasm

I just stumbled across this completely fan made Touhou anime retelling the events of the game Perfect Cherry Blossom, and it’s pretty fantastic. A separate fan even dubbed in voices for all the characters, and here we have English subtitles (make sure to click the CC button unless you’re fluent in moonspeak).

Daily Fig: Flandre Scarlet

by on

A daily fig, for seriously!? Yeah that’s right and we even still have the balls to call it “daily” after months of absence. Brooks asked me to post this for him. Since he is off gettin the crazy dollahs from his grown up job. This character is straight out of Touhou Project named Flandre Scarlet. I don’t really know any more then that, and what the Tomopop article tells me. She is apparently the younger sister of Remilia Scarlet and I’m pretty sure one of the two of them was in that Bad Apple music video. I’m pretty sure we can all safely bet that Brooks will have this one pre-ordered before this post even goes up. So if I were you, I’d expect a post in the not too distant future featuring him parading around his Nendroids Danny Choo style.

Miku Mega Man Music: Mmmm!

by on

This isn’t new, hell this isn’t even recent. But it doesn’t matter because Miku and Mega Man are both timeless. This video features Hatsune Miku, the first synthesized character voice of the popular Vocaloid 2 software suite, singing the music of Mega Man 3. Now let’s get our education on by completely ignoring everything every college professor told me about using Wikipedia as a source and go ahead and use Wikipedia as a source.

Hatsune Miku (初音ミク?) is the first installment in the Vocaloid 2 Character Vocal Series released on August 31, 2007. The name of the title and the character of the software was chosen by combining Hatsu (初 First?), Ne (音 Sound?), and Miku (未来 Future?).[12] The data for the voice was created by actually sampling the voice of Saki Fujita, a Japanese voice actress. Unlike general purpose speech synthesizers, the software is tuned to create J-pop songs commonly heard in anime, but it is possible to create songs from other genres.

Isn’t learning fun? Check out the video below!

Daily Fig: Nanoha Takamachi

by on

So, we are going to daily fig it up this evening. Mostly because Brooks didn’t want to look at the last article on the front page anymore. Fortunately we have an outdoor exploring Nanoha Takamachi fig that makes me remember that in the “outside world” it might be Spring. Well at least for us northern hemisphere folk. The rest of you will have to find some depressing figs to symbolize Fall. Like anything from Fate/Stay Night, which I have continued to curse ever since finishing. DAMN YOU FATE/STAY NIGHT.

Daily Fig: MikuMikuRacing!

by on

We’ve featured Hatsune Miku quite a few times. So by now you should be in the know regarding her identity. This time around our little Vocaloid Idol is tearing up the streets in a racer! Huzzah! This picture and those below come from tomopop.com, so be sure to check out what all they got goin on.

Akiyama Mio(秋山 澪): Moe Moe Kyun!

by on

Moe moe kyun, indeed. Mio is for sure looking cute and seksi, and our hearts would be going *kyun kyun* if ours weren’t made of brass gears and cogs. The shot is of a new 1/8th scale fig being distributed by Good Smile Company. We’ve gone ahead and included a couple more shots in a gallery for you. Speaking of which, it doesn’t matter how long or hard you look, you still won’t see panties. We hypothesize that it’s really better off that way since as long as they remain unobserved they are both there and not there.  Score one for Schrödinger and his zombie cat.

Daily Fig: Lupin III and Fujiko Mine

by on

So it’s been a few days since we posted a Daily Fig, mostly because over the weekend we had something in the neighborhood of three on the front page and it really started to creep us out and we had ourselves a little self imposed intervention. So it’s sort of the not so daily fig at this point but having partially fallen off the wagon we are letting loose on you this fig of Lupin III. Lupin is the lead character in the anime of the same name who leads a small gang of criminals on various heists, sort of like Leverage and Hustle. I don’t remember where I saw these shots so I apologize to the source. To make it up to the rest of you I’ll also include a completely unsourced shot of Fujiko Mine.
