Her popularity has suddenly dropped off a cliff... Why is everyone so mean to this lovely shrine maiden? Also Reimu thread.
Nobody likes race traitors.
I personally prefer human shrine maidens(human witches are alright too, I guess).
I prefer Youkai women
>>49937891Then shouldn't you love the youkai shrine maiden?
>>49937899She's not 17 yo.
>>49937834I thought Reimu being unpopular was a /jp/ thing
Archived at 50 or 150 posts, call it.
>>49937834What are you talking about? She has always jumped between the first 3 places.>>49937915The last one reached the bump limit, maybe this one will too. Though hopefully, it will be more active than last time.>>49937908It is.
>>49937915142, I'm feeling it.
I prefer youkai girls with funny hats and non-functioning third eyes(blonde ordinary human witches are also ok)
>>49937887>>49937891>>49937963Now, kiss
As always, /jp/sies are just shy.
>>49937935NIGGAMU!
>>49938121BESTMU!!!
>>49938144Indeed mah g.
>>49937834because she's a boring character that's been outdone a long time ago. i'm 99% sure that if she weren't the face of touhou she'd rank below top 10.she's shoehorned into everything because she's ms. touhou and has to be present in 99% of everything touhou related, her personality is haphazard yet still somehow comes off as unappealing in most of her appearances, only heightened by the fact that she's totally overrepresented. the slow passage of time only erodes her character further, makes her less likeable, less easy to sympathize with, etc.and even if you don't care for her canon portrayal, her fanon portrayal is the same old mix of either racist, poor, dumb rude cunt, or whore, which got old 20 years ago.there was a time when reimu was well liked because of her own merit, but she lives in the shadows of other characters now.
>>49938363No lies detected.
>>49938363How is Reimu boring?I genuinely don't understand how someone could find her boring, at least any more boring than the most of the cast.
>>49937834She's washed
>>49937834> dropped off a cliffIt really hasn't
>>49937834She used to be number 3 for me but FS's ending made her drop hard. I like ZUN advertised Reimu (honest with her emotions, impulsive, a bit aloof, treats everyone with the same mild disinterest), but she just feels so inconsistent between manga.Marisa will remain the superior protag.

Fat zombie.
>>49937834I saw Reimu at a grocery store in the Village today. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen bottles of sake in her hands without paying.The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each box and put them in bags and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
>>49940239We need an update with the newmus Cds Reimu got very cool in the end.
>>49937834>>49937908Top 3 is still popular, isn't it?
>>49940373Do you want to impress Reimu? Buy a bag of condoms. She likes strong men!
>>49937834Why did you bother making a Reimu thread OP? Don't you remember how it went the last time?
>>49937834I don't like her, she's a bully
>>49940475Sure, but It still says something when the lead of the franchise doesn't hold a solid grip on first place. Although, I'm pretty neutral when it comes to Reimu, all things considered.
>>49940445CDS Reimu is super inconsistent compared to the other manga Reimus idk how you would even begin describing herWhaletits Reimu is probably the one that takes it the easiest of them all
>>49940445>>49942300I have to be super generous to CDS' story for this, but I think I might position CDS Reimu as the most conflicted one? Like, once she storms the underground, she's pretty deadly and Crimson Slasher-esque (I'd say maybe the closest to the game version in that sense) but before that, she does some vague investigation that doesn't really go anywhere. She learns what's going on from Yukari, then unlearns it when the artists change, so she can slowly relearn it from Hatate, the Myouren crew, and Satori over the rest of the story. I'm only able to make this work if I headcanon that she struggled with knowing what happened to Mizuchi for a bit before figuring out her solution later.
Zun keeps making her skirt shorter, and now she looks like a cosplayer rather than actual miko.
>>49944129The skirt feeds the stick and soon she'll be all gohei and lace
>>49944129All protagonists have been getting shorter skirts and longer weapons throughout the years
>>49944129The shorter skirt makes her look more mature, I personally like it
>>49937834I like her, seh exterminates youkai and doesn't afraid of anything. I daydream about being a shy villager who donates a lot to her because she saved him from evil youkai, and is slowly coaxed out of his shell until she finally gets him to have tea and snacks with her at her shrine!
To me, Reimu feels completely aimless, there's nothing she wants to find, nothing she's trying to do, she has been completely reduced to her occupation. Her fanon personality has become a mish-mash of jokes and stereotypes, while her personality in the official works is as bland as ever, both almost veering into self-parody. There's very little keeping me invested in her. The closest we've come to a revelation about her purpose, about why she exists at all, is when CDS reminded us that there were other shrine maidens before her, which everyone already knew so it failed to have any sort of impact on Reimu herself.The only way I could care about her is if she becomes more pleasant to those around her, starts having actual opinions of her own, disconnected from her job, maybe picks up a hobby or something so it doesn't seem like she's in stasis whenever something big isn't happening, and maybe ZUN hints towards something like that fan theory that Renko founded the Hakurei shrine. That would at least connect her to the more immanent parts of the story.But worst of all, she's hit the wall
>>49944129Windows Reimu has never looked like a miko.
>>49946526I dunno anon, it kind of feels like you've only read CDS if you feel that way. Her getting into detective novels back in FS was cute.
>>49946661The problem is it didn't amount to anything. What's the point of trying to give her personality and then never bringing that up again? I think this is why people used to give Reimu a pass, they saw various traits being attributed to her and hoped they would become permanent. They didn't.I also think having to bring up the printworks to defend a 2hus personality is a problem in and of itself, they're secondary to the games. I've never seen, for instance, Marisafags have to bring up anything except the games to justify why they like her. And that's before we consider that Reimu's personality isn't even consistent between the printworks. If Reimu's supposed striking personality only appears in one printwork, it's the printowork you like, not Reimu.
>>49946526Agreed. To me, Reimu is whatever the current manga or game requires her to be. She has to fit the current mold made for her and it makes her feel all over the place.>>49946661She has personable moments like this, which I wish she had a lot MORE of, since we rarely ever see her liking anything, being interested in anything, hell she's even barely interested in her friends. Other characters aren't much better in this regard, but lots of them have interests that they bring up frequently enough that you remember they have them. How many Reimu fans know that she spent many sleepless nights reading novels of all things? Even then, the whole novel thing seemed to grip her for only a short while, and after that, she was over it.Reimu frustrates me. Making her appealing isn't rocket science, she just isn't allowed to be.
>>49937834evil bitch getting her comeuppance
>>49937915Reimu's popularity really must suck if she doesn't have a dedicated schizo nercobumping her thread for 5 months to always reach bump limit
>>49946526REIMU JUST HIT THE WALL
>>49940475>>49942228Yeah.Like, you know nips are thoughtless ants. They vote for the MC of the work yes or yes even if their life depends on it no matter what. It's a obligatory for them to do.If the MC is not topping the ranking it's actually pretty weird and shows you there's actually something going on that it managed to break through their programming.
There are just 280 points between 1st and 3rd.
>>49948009projecting lol
>>49948147This anon must be a total loser in real life
>>49948520and you've deduced that how
>>49948058That song doesn't apply though, Reimu is a genuine has-been and not some desparate fuck who was never popular to begin with.Although it is 2025
>>49948542NEVER HAD IT ALL
>>49948299Definitely.There are a couple dead character thready I necrobump
>>49948659threads*
>>49948009>>49948158A reminder that protagonists always get a massive boost in popularity polls because your average mouth breather doesn't have any real opinions so they just go with who they think will win.Koishi is a freak outlier and I refuse to believe that many people care about KKHTA as to outvote the entire rest of the Touhou fanbase.
UDoALG was all about Reimu.
>>49948680And it sucked
>>49948680Reimu I wouldn't go out bragging about how the worst game since HM was "all about you".
Reimu would be a better character if she canonically had massive breasts that oozed out of her sarashi, constantly threatening to burst out entirely.
Reimu has never worn sarashi, not even in the decimal games with a different artist, she always wears an undershirt.
>>49948783Reimu would also be a better character canonically if she wore a sarashi.
>>49948675The absolute fucking state of Reimufags
>>49948694>>49948744It's a good game.
She needs to start appealing to women.
>>49948845Why do women have better taste than men wtf?
>>49948794100% agree, sarashi are the mark of a true Japanese beauty!Mokou definitely should wear one, too!
I'm still mad Reimu didn't exterminate the ex-shrine maiden
to give Reimu some character development, ZUN should kill Marisa
>>49951402what about giving her breast cancer? having already killer titties has to come with a price, you know, and all of us would be shocked, stunned, and moved by the effort to make them even more sexy and meaningful.Was gonna post Reimu as black tank top Nitori but sadly there's no one ever drew it.
>>49952292breast cancer is sexy?
