Norainhere Thanks for that - I was just going to ask who Narumi was. First time I've seen her I think. Is she or any new characters in the new game likely to be popular with the Touhou circles?

P.s Marisa looks a bit odd with the marigold gloves- like she was doing the dishes lol. And why an ice themed dress? You don't really associate Marisa with ice.

Looks more like sucking than biting. I don't mind

@elevown That's from Marisa's art in the new game, Hidden Star in Four Seasons. As you can probably tell from the title, it has to do with the seasons - basically the seasons are messed up and Marisa's house ended up covered in snow during the middle of summer. The same goes for the other playable characters, with Reimu being spring, Aya being fall, and Cirno being summer.

As for the characters, it's a bit early to tell. However, people seem to like Narumi (her official art is quite cute, especially for Zun) and the third stage boss, Komano Aun, for being so damn nice. Also the final boss, Matara Okina, for her involvement with the creation of Gensokyo.

^ It is 'light' biting in the anime - she just relieves her urge to bite (she's a vampire) by nom noming people - not trying to draw blood.

Chika sure is energetic.

It could be worse, she could have feelings for one of the friends

^ Thanks for the info. Have you played it? I always wonder how hard they are, I assume anyone can beat them if you use continues and on normal or easy setting? The mad videos you see are the hardest modes. Though, I assume it won't be out in English any time soon? And Have Aya or Cirno been playable before? Cirno seems an odd choice for a playable character given how weak she is.

p.s Is Matara a Youkai sage like Yukari? I know she / they? and Reimu's ancestors were the ones who did that or something.

My favorite Madoka ship......

Sexy but also sweet. I like

Me too fam

^ Agreed

This is really pretty

Er, that's a lot of questions. I haven't played yet, there isn't an english patch yet (for what it's worth, I haven't gotten the patches for the previous two games to work), I've never been any sort of good at Touhou so I'm not the one to ask, Aya and Cirno have both been playable in a few games including the fighting games. Actually, Cirno being strong enough to be playable main character in a standard game is a plot point.

Regarding Okina Matara, her Touhou wiki page indicates she is actually a Youkai Sage and it's implied that she knows Yukari. Their powers are fairly similar too.

Yes, yes, now kiss!

nosebleed
And I ship it.

Ah the new ship to be born <3

^ Don't worry. There's still the sequel for them to find her a love interest.

Hifumin used pat.
It's super cute!

Aww one of my fav pairings in touhou <3

nimble

SQUEEEEEEE!! These two are so adorable!

She's also the first Disney princess to have an innately pessimistic/negative attitude towards herself and her situation. Everyone until now has been all curiosity and upbeat musical numbers, which I think is why she's taken off in terms of popularity. She's the Saber of Disney princesses.

Oooooh!!! <3 More of this please!! :B

^ That's 'cause she's not a princess at all, she's a queen! xD

Aww, see? You can fix this kind of stuff properly Akko, you're not that stupid after all... :3
