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?
>>49952700Breast cancer will force her to undergo surgery that will make her breasts flatter than Tenko's.
>>49940373Where the hell does this ZUN copypasta comes from? At this point is the boogeyman of /jp/
>>49954650ZUN? I found this copypasta in a Steam forum and it was about meeting Gaben Newell.
Neko miko Reimu...
>>49959429Why not post the GIF?
>>49937834Her hijacking CDS must had left a bad taste in everyones' mouth.
Wake up, Reimu!
Shrine Maiden of Paradise!
More like shrine maiden of piss hahaahah owned
Reimu's grandma made it to the bump limit. What's Reimu's excuse?
>>49965680Reimu doesn't have the hype of being a new character.
>>49937834I still jerk off to Reimu.
>>49965680Granny Miko doesn't have 23 years of being a total cancerous bitch under her belt
>>49966156Rude and unprecedented
Reimu...My thread died....Can i stay here?
>>49966763Again? So much for the 2nd most popular 2hu of the year.
>>49948675>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.You really have no idea. Man, ALL the kids that are into touhou, which is way too many from the non-/jp/ areas I've dipped my toes into, are into KKHTA as a common culture point. Its way more embraced now and even the jp side that hangs around are getting infected. How do you think they actually tipped the scales with so many votes? Future is now, old man.
>>49966981Non Asian votes account for like 1.5k out of a total of 55k votesKKHTA is wildly more popular outside of Japan than inside of it
>>49948854>>49948845These are literally just all the main girls in depending order, and youmu. Yes, all the popular girls are popular, and Youmu, what amazing taste!
>>49954650Memes older than you, clearly
>>49966995...Anon, the girls' votes are on the right...
Post favorite 'mu vidsI likehttps://youtu.be/s_SvD3E1bAo?si=EjelIh1baNGyGft3
>>49967004My point stands, but really, Youmu?Is there some JP KKHTA equivalent featuring her?
>>49966991This brings little more comfort
>>49967021Youmu won the same year that popular lewd dungeon h-game featuring her released.Now I'm not saying there's correlation, but...
>>49966995Wrong, women put Marisa first, which is based and superior to the male voter base tastes.
>>49967067Ahh, well I suppose she was popular for a time...
>>49967086Yeah, if you're into annoying gremlins who are flat and loud.
>>49967097Hey Reimu.

I would like to donate to her. Does she accept crypto?
>>49976064No, but Komachi does. She'll even transport you while alive for certain rare meme coins(she collects, but doesn't bag hold)
>>49976064She can hardly open her browser, let alone a crypto wallet.
>>49977677She could ask Sumireko to show her how to do it.

>>499815852k bucks

>>49937834The Hakurei Shrine Experience ruined her reputation internationally.
>>49982672no one reads that
>>49948794I don't think she wears anything under her clothes
>>49983098canon!
>>49983109l-lewd...
>>49983109Imagine the smell.
>>49946526>>49946740Woah now, I like Reimu cause of how she was in the 2000s in general. Sassy, smug, wise cracking, way more self aware about things than she is now (in SSiB for example she's the only person to point out that the "heroines" are the clear bad guys in the story and will lose as a result, which is exactly what happens), liked to talk shit towards everyone she met in amusing ways no matter their status or authority. It's around WaHH where ZUN suddenly announced to give her that "Reimu's personality changes despending on the new manga character's perspective" (he actually said that) bullshit which suddenly made her inconsistent, one-note and as a sort of audience stand in to be given exposition by other characters without any comebacks or remarks other than bewilderment. This is especially notable around Touhou 16 and onwards where ZUN took her not understanding how Okina's powers work to now be her sole personality trait, so now she's just confused all the time and doesn't say anything interesting. EoSD Reimu to me is still the pinnacle of cool, and several artists have pointed out how she used to be in the past (pic related). Hell, Flandre herself has a line in the Yuuma game that seems to reference this very fact when she talks to Reimu about how she used to be in the past which, while it does have some context explaining it, seems to be an acknowledgment from ZUN himself.
>>49942300>>49942441I think it's more that ZUN decided to make Reimu be the comic relief for the majority of the manga, but after the Myouren temple battle where she tells Marisa a bit about Mizuchi's past having now learned her real name, she had a major perspective shift and suddenly got very serious as if she knew something the others didn't. I think she was already prepared to make peace with her the moment that happened because she knew or at the very least could tell right away the gravity of the situation regarding the Hakurei.
>>49959446But she won last year's poll even though she had long since hijacked it.
>>49948158Really? Well what's the big deal then? That's almost spontaneity at work, I remember when the vote differences used to be way bigger and a lot more decisive.
>>49938363>>49946526>her fanon portrayal is the same old mix of either racist, poor, dumb rude cunt, or whore, which got old 20 years ago.As someone who checks Touhou fanart on Pixiv daily, that's actually pretty wrong. Most of her fanon portrayal in comics tend to be about her being tough on the outside and soft on the inside regarding her complicated relationship with youkai, as well as lots of the "cute girls doing cute things" genre of course. The stuff you mention tends to be relegated to one-shot comedic pieces, minor cameos in longer ones and porn.I actually tend to get more enjoyment out of fan comics than most of the official manga, not necessarily because they're better written but because they're way more character-focused. ZUN tends to obsess with showing off random Japanese mythology in his daily life manga more than interesting character dynamics. I legitimately hope CDS just devolves into Mizuchi's new life and having interesting interactions with Reimu and company instead of more drawn out action plots.
>>49948147>>49942228I mean, Reimu won even during the year she killed the fortune teller which is pretty much her most controversial scene ever. I think you underestimate how powerful fan culture can affect the polls, something that was notable even back in 2012 when Alice took #2 all of a sudden because of a popular music video she was in. Flandre has also been consistently high in the rankings despite having very scarce and minor official appearances since 2002 until Gouyoku Ibun. I actually think fanon influence has only gotten stronger since 2020 which is when Lost Word came out and the poll winners became mostly sporadic. To this day I still cannot go 24 hours without seeing some touhou artist post a LW screenshot. Flandre also apparently won because of a music video and it looks like KKHTA became relevant again? Don't quote me on that. I don't even know why Reimu won last year, I'm too out of the loop.
>>49938363But if that were the people's perception she wouldn't have won last year nor would the votes be this >>49938666 close. If anything she's actually been more popular recently than in 2020-2023 despite your claims that time eroded her. Your post is also especially weird considering how different Reimu is in each manga, hell some chapters have her doing something completely unexpected even with that manga's Reimu in mind, so you're not exactly getting the same person. As for sympathy, I don't think people don't sympathize with her notion of forgiving and befriending (almost) every youkai she fights which is what every main plot tends to be resolved as.
Billions must die
>>49992447billions of humans must die to protect the agenda of her (((youkai))) puppetmasters, yes

>>49937834Literally every single other character, including unnamed mob characters, is better!
>>49996671>>49996703>>49996710now kiss
How many victims did Reimu kill again?
>>49987731>Sassy, smug, wise cracking, way more self aware about things than she is now This also underlines the problem with modern Reimu. She's too dumb to be believable as the same character who brokered the spellcard rules and regularly outsmarted gods. She was smug because she earned it.
>>50001090She killed millions with the powerful grip of her anal sphincter.
>>50006788Do you mean she loves anal?
>>50006882Loves? Reimu is the anal-only shrine maiden! She lives by that, she is called shirimiko. She wears amulets as maebari to protect her virginity but she does anal only, unlike the Moriya slut that destroyed her hymen and fucks anything that moves, for free.
>>50009161for a small fee of 50 yen, the amulet can be removed. she won't tell you this, though.
>>49982732Then how come her personality has fallen off, even ZUN doesn't love her anymore. Who could love a drunken, rapist, criminal!
>>50012318>ZUN doesn't love her anymore. Zun might unironically be Reimu's biggest fan. >Who could love a drunken, rapist, criminal!The ten*u propaganda used to be believable.
>>50012318>Who could love a drunken, rapist, criminal!I think there's someone who fits that description pretty well who's pretty well-liked on here.
>>50013060Hey, we don't talk about what Renko does, okay? She's a nice girl.
>>50013060...Suika?
>>49937957Heh
>>49946776>>49946740We've actually seen her being into books elsewhere, like when she quoted Otomo no Tabito to make a joke at Sanae or when she was invested in AQ's books. Things have to be part of the plot to show up, but it doesn't stop being part of her. It's like saying Marisa is not into thieving because 99% of the time she's on screen she's not stealing things.Also it's just pointing something that she does have hobbies, not "pointing at the books to show why you like her". It's not like reading books is exactly mind blowing.
>>49946526Dont care need the hag
anal...
Anal is ¥10, vaginal is ¥20.
yawn
>>50013060
I know Reimu-sama's secret and it's that she is actually a dakini.
>>50024336No, Reimu is a lolicon.
>>50024336So that explains her relationship with Ran.
>>49946526Reimu suffers from embracing the dao and becoming empty, how else do you think she floats so well? I recall zanmu making comments somewhere about reimu being like how she was in the past, and she can control the dao directly as her power in 19
>>49967067What game?
Quick reminder that Reimu has a big ass.Reimu is the most erotic character to ever exist, she's just beautiful in all aspects, both from inside and out.She's the type of character i want to both have intimate sex and hardcore sex with.Just imagining breaking her hymen, licking her body and kissing her lips feels good.I love Reimu so much i can't describe, i love you Reimu.
>>50002143She's too dumb because otherwise she's morally pure evil and deserves to be murdered just as much as Yukari or Okina.
>>50029276The only time I would say she did something approching malice was if she was the shrine maiden in Dolls of Pesudo Paradise, which I don't think was intended to be the case. Otherwise, she's been the catalyst to starting a justice system in Gensokyo that gives agency to normies and smallfries, with the worse she's done being possibly showing favoritism toward Marisa.
>>50028966how is reimu beautiful on the outside she's a vindictive drunk lazy bitch that wastes all her money whenever she gets any
>>50028966I also love Reimu('s ass).
>>50034380If you spanked it as hard as you could would she fight back or just make effeminate squeals?
>>50034387depends on whether you pay or not
Boing!
>>50038484Is she flying?
>>49938363what do you think about mario
>>50049995Luigi
>>50049995i prefer wario.
>>49952700Knowing the Internet there's at least one person, dead or alive who has a cancer fetish.
>>49996498Don't be ridiculous.The Reimu on the left is the one who can only think of how much she wants to marry (you).Reimu in the middle is her thinking about all the naughty things you'll do after (you) marry her.And Reimu on the right is when she kills you because (you) refused to marry her.All Reimus are for marriage. It is the one truth of this world.
>>50053783why is middle reimu so NAUGHTY?
>>50053834Puberty.It's a very confusing time for a young maiden.
Reimu's Reimus
You can marry Reimu and have children with her. But, what she really wants is your money and a place to live once she's finished her role. The Devas took away her ability to love, making her hollow and emotionless. This is the future you chose.
>>50060672I don't really see the problem as long as she hugs, cuddles, kiss and has sex with meI just love her so much, i just want to fuck her no matter what
>>50060672>The Devas took away her ability to love, making her hollow and emotionlessDoes she look hollow and emotionless to you? You shouldn't say such things about a young girl, you might make her cry.>The Devas Who?
>>50063541Have fun with your living onahole!>>50063574>Does she look hollow and emotionless to you?She was clearly trained to be friendly, but deep down, it was all an act.>The Devas>Who?Whoops, I mean the Sages.
i'll get the uhhh paizuri + blowjob hakurei special for 10 yen, and the two creampie combo for 30 yen. yes, i'd like some tea with that. make sure reimu looks grumpy before she gets here too, thanks.
>>50063644>Have fun with your living onahole!Onaholes don't moan. They don't move. They're just there...I like Reimu as a character in general, but I can't deny that having sex with her would be the best thing ever. Sometimes I try to imagine typical relationship scenarios with her, but she's too cold for that...I wonder if she would agree to start a family...?
>>50064289>Onaholes don't moan. They don't move.You just described Reimu's patented dead fish sex™
>>50064290She would do her best, you're banking and hosting her after all i hope at least...
She poked holes in my condoms during sex, what the fuck.Was me paying her not enough for her? Does she want child support payments now too? Bitch.
>>50067101Yukari told her that she has to make a successor somehow.
>>50067827So she's lying to her clients...
>>50064290With Reimus ability, her dead fish sex would probably be the most mind blowing thing you've ever experienced
>>50068046Quite the opposite, neither of you would even feel anything.
>>50068058my shrimpdick can't satisfy her...
In EoSDs manual Marisa has a bit that states hanging out with Reimu is her favorite thingI love Marisa
>>50068537>hanging out with Reimu is her favourite thingclose, what it actually said was that Reimu is her favourite plaything
>>50068630FUTA?!
>>50068630Yuri!
>>49937834she's hairy down there, that's why
When Reimu and Marisa visit the human village together, Marisa's popularity with village boys means she's constantly accosted by dating and marriage proposals from men that rudely ignore her red and white companion. She's practical an idol there, especially in contrast to the dour and dull girl standing next to her. How do you think that makes Reimu feel?
>>50069264She's happy for her friend! Marisa is just that good looking, just that nice, cheerful and happy, and just that interesting that she's practically a magnet for good people.
>>50069264If reimu wanted some manbitches she'd start displaying hard work and dedication to her crafts like Marisa does.
>>50069283Is Reimu capable of hard work and dedication? She kind of just coasts through life...
>>50069287She's only capable of hard work and dedication if you piss her off or make her jealous, and even then it's only for like one day
>>49937834>Her popularity has suddenly dropped off a cliff...Not among her fairies, she's quite popular with them in fact.
