Lol I forgot about this thread for a while.

Although I'm not an IOSYS fan, their works generally make enough of an impact in the Touhou community such that they deserve to be recognized. Thus their latest work from C76, Neko Miko Reimu:

As for the best flash to come out of C76... Personal opinion here at the very least in terms of artistic beauty is Oath of Soul:

Ah yes, sorry to double post, but I spy with my little eyes an awesome C77 coming our way:

Touhou Disagea (Not the real title but whatever):

And Age of Ethanol:

+ Show Spoiler [Screenshots] +

As for the music end, I'm really curious to hear some UFO remixes :D

Touhou music is awesome, I have thousands of touhou songs varying from orchestras, jrock, jcore and everything between

So C77 happened as always, and some neat stuff came out of it. Still waiting on leaks though...

Early music leaks are of dBu, and their new album 星弾奏結界天空航進曲 March over sky can be found on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B606740AB1B0D834

Aside from that, a glimpse at an apparently unannounced game (or it flew under my radar at least) from C77:

And an update on the apparent Touhou Disagea game.. It's just a roguelike

since I still haven't gotten share or PD working on my new comp yet (not so new by now, and still with no hd space due to a ton of hdds wanting to crash on me), I have barely been paying attention to c77 heh. Hoping to see some stuff from akai ringo and such to show in scans, but some circles are just bloody impossible to find. Game wise I never pay attention until something gets a ton of hype, and music I practically only listen to TAMUSIC. So yeah...nice and quiet.

EDIT - All that is after I rushed through umineko in one day, of course. Then it is nice and quiet

EDIT 2 - I'll try that game anyway though.

This is the best Lunar Dial remix I've hear so far.

I sometimes play few of them, mostly to listen to music and to see if I can finally get further... 4th stage bosses usually finish me of or drain some bombs and lives and I can't really finish any of the 5th stages currently (I won't bother with continues).

Phantom Ensemble (or is it the title of song?) is probably one of my favorites.

I love Phantom Ensemble too, but I actually prefer Capital City of Flowers in the Sky better (Stage 4 PCB Theme). My only gripe is that the stage itself is far too long.

Stage 4 bosses in Touhou are usually a bitch to beat. Patchy, Primsriver, Reimu/Marisa (Ugh I hate those two), Aya (hm maybe Sanae is worse here), Satori (UGH), Murasa (Shou is MUCH worse here though).

Youmu is actually really easy once you know how to dodge her attacks properly, at least on Normal mode. On Hard mode, Hell God Sword (or whatever it's called on Hard) and Asura Sword are so annoying.

I find Marisa 50000 times worse than Reimu in IN.
She makes me rage every time. D:

But yeah, as much as in general, stage 4 is always kinda the beginning of the "real" stuff, I usually find stages 5 relatively easy compared to what one would expect.

On a side note, I'm approaching the full clearance of Shoot the Bullet, after countless hours of rage. D:
Only a few spellcards left in stage 10 and extra and I'll be done.

Murasa is one of the gimpiest stage 4 boss for a while imo, Satori...well, it depends on who you are playing. I practically always used Reimu A, didn't find her that annoying. Orin and Shou were hell though.

Oh, Mystlord, I gave that game a spin, can't really say I was interested by it. Nothing much to do, really. Werk's demo this time for that Misaka Megaman is way more interesting, even if it is just stupidly annoying.

tyr: I agree that Marisa is so much harder than Reimu. Reimu isn't that bad since all of her attacks are pretty much head on and standard. Marisa though... Stupid stars. I get cross eyed so bad playing her. Stuff coming from all sides, and a Master Spark doesn't help at all. On that note though, I find Fantasy Heaven to be 500000 times worse than Blazing Star.

I hate StB. I can't play it for beans.

Murasa's only gimpy because of her Anchor danmaku

Orin is actually fairly easy to me. I find dealing with BoWaP much more annoying. Shou is and always will be annoying. Freaking curvy lasers ftl...

I'm waiting for more C77 leaks... A lot of the music from the popular groups have already been released though, so I'm happy for that ^_^

Hmm BoWaP has always been much easier for me than Orin. What the heck is Fantasy Heaven anyway, these English translations for danmaku tends to make next to no sense for me. Then again, the concept of translating "beautiful names" is in itself an issue.

Orin is just follow the lines and don't get hit for me. BoWaP is: You want me to dodge bullets that are coming at me at freaking Scarlet Meister speed? Yeah right.

Japanese is always hard to translate. Here's the original kanji: 夢想天生

For Shou curving lasers, I usually stand still until the curving laser become lines, then I move. That makes the battle a lot easier.

Meanwhile, this Evening Star / Necrofantasia arrange blew my mind

I still can't do Vajra though =_=. And her lasers seem to have no patterns to them which makes it so annoying... Thankfully that's a single bomb card though ^_^.

By the way... A real life Bad Apple cosplay event, with some extra characters included.

I still can't figure out where that took place... I want to know so badly.

Defensive camera use!

and oh, that one, yeah it is just ridiculous.

As for Bad Apple, haha, that thing just got so much popularity out of nowhere the moment that video got done...I am pretty sure the original album was released a year ago or more, too. At that, the request to make a video iirc went back that far as well.
