Reddit trannies and xitter yuritard larpers constantly shilling their retarded ships, braindead self-inserters fighting them with their dogshit, flanderising comics. The "creative" side only doing the most unfunny shit possible or some random gooner slop for 30iq mouth breathes addicted to porn, it's like they took everything bad from every community and dumped it into it, insufferable subhumans.
Is this perhaps the case with other gacha games too? I didn't play much of others except like battle cats, it's really confusing why it's so garbage.

I don't play gacha of any kind. I searched "umamusume green_hair" and posted first fitting image, because you don't deserve any more consideration here, /v/ermin.
If you wish to discuss how gacha overtaking otaku consciousness leads to various problems (such as raising consumerism, which for some stands in opposition to more diy doujin spirit), then you are welcome to start. If you want to greentext things that weren't said or even implied, then go back.

This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interestingly enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and is often misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Regardless, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence the genre's name. Still confused? Lurk moar.

One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would be a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan and the world! For those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.

Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also shows and events held online. As previously mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are also individuals associated with MOGRA who stream online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA, who goes by the channel name of 'choroyama' on Twitch. MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.

Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!

The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.

JP clubs:
mogra
tsukiyume_jp (Tsukiakari Yumeterasu [Moonlit Dreams] in Kawasaki)
akibaraizeen (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)
a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)

We always talk about the best, but what do you think is the worst song in Touhou? Primarily focusing on the ones by ZUN but if a song by any guest composer from the fighting games really doesn't do it for you that's allowed too.
>>
Ariya's theme.
Not that it's offensively bad, but for me personally it was a let-down for a final boss theme.
>>
>>50875139
I think the song itself is solid, but the instrumentation is very weak. It sounds far too relaxed and subdued, and I've seen people argue that because the plot of FW isn't as dire as a game like SA it doesn't need to be as intense as Okuu's theme, but I don't think it should be so mild either. The main hook sounding a bit like Lunate Elf's hook was a bit disappointing but after composing 500 songs I think that's a bit of an unfair dig.
>>
UDoALG has multiple stinkers, it feels like an entirely different tier of music compared to any other game. The entire game has serious issues but this is a music thread so I will stay on topic. Marisa's or Hisami's theme is propably the absolute bottom of the barrel Touhou has descended to.
Something that a lot of people will not agree with but I genuinely think is that 1/3 of PCB's soundtrack sucks, and Youmu's theme is just midi farts. Might be the worst one for me in early franchise, propably fighting tooth and nail for that title with PoFV Medicine's theme, I feel like it goes nowhere musically.

>>50875139
>>50875162
The first few seconds are a setup for something very intense and give me serious chills, but then it immediately drops the ball. I do like the subdued parts of it, but it does indeed fail to be intense, that guitar just doesn't work. I wouldn't call it the worst by any stretch, not even the worst final boss theme, but it could be much better.

How much do Touhou's youkai and spirits differ from actual Japanese folklore? Obviously the actual kappa and tengu aren't building highly advanced societies, and they don't look like little girls who're into lolita-fashion. But more specifically, what about their depiction is accurate and what's not? How much "artistic liberty" dos Zun take?

>>50869560
I think it's pretty fair to have that nowadays, especially when dealing with multiple real-world folklore, myth, superstition, and religion. Even if it's fiction, many may take it way too seriously. Especially if the implication is that "only one type of myth/belief/religion is right and all the others are wrong", people might get angry over it, because it'd go against what they believe in. That's why it's more respectful for a fictional work to tell about a setting where "everyone is right in their own way but at the same time nobody is right". That's how you can have Gensokyo exist, where only Japanese religions are the truth, while also suggesting the possible existence of other religions, gods, and folkloric creatures around the world.

>>50871352
Gensokyo's message is that Japanese religion is kind of wrong though; the way the Shinto gods held themselves was less like the notion of divinity that managed to grip the hearts of the better half of Earth and more like the glorified politicians running Heaven in Journey to the West, and as a consequence they've been banished to gay baby jail where their main pool of faith is expected to come from a populace that has effectively been domesticated by an outsider taking pity on them for the purpose.

Marisa x Alice is such a strange ship, I can't figure out whos the uke. Marisa is tomboyish and like a senpai/hero, but Alice gives off the vibe of a creepy weeb that harasses Japanese girls.

Then again, Marisa can be a moe anime girl and Alice has a very cute voice and is tsundere...

I need some second opinions because it is so hard to decide.
