International Saimoe League 2009

In other news, melange, one of the organizers of Touhou Seimoe 2007, has informed me that the Touhou characters that appeared in the recent Maikaze animation are eligible to be nominated for International Saimoe League 2009.

Here’s part of what he said, because I’m sure his explanation is probably better than the vague things I’d probably write:

Up to eight characters can be nominated, each with a different weightage of points. However, the organizers filter characters according to amount of screentime. So Reimu, Marisa, and Aya would better make the cut then Meiling.

There’s not much time left for nomination though; nominations end on the 0500 GMT on the 8th of Jan. Getting the word out has been slow because we only just got confirmation from the organizers that Touhou Kakyou Musou would be eligible.

So yeah, I guess that means… go nominate some of those characters!

The characters that appeared in the Maikaze animation are Hakurei Reimu, Shameimaru Aya, Kirisame Marisa, Izayoi Sakuya, Remilia Scarlet, Ibuki Suika, Patchouli Knowledge, and Hong Meiling, if anyone needs names. I don’t know whether they want surnames first or what, but I guess this is fine.

Touhou Merchandise (2)

Sorta like Touhou Merchandise: The Sequel, or something. This package full of Comiket75 goods from Talka arrived about two days ago, and it has a lot of nifty things! Much more nifty things than last time!

Keine EWI + MoF Kamichu!

??????16???????…???????

(Nicovideo)

Keine EWI by Winn! This is relevant to 2009 because… year of the cow! And Keine is associated with cows. Yeah.

??????????

And here are Sanae, Suwako, and Kanako in a parody of the Kamichu! ED. Again, it’s another anime I’ve never watched, so I don’t really know anything about it.

Also, the blog post numbering has been fixed (or so it appears). Judging by the other things I’ve had to change since updating to WordPress 2.7, I’m assuming more problems will arise. Oh well, with every error, I get to learn how to fix it, so that’s a plus. Today I learned some stuff about SQL’s AUTO_INCREMENT… thing.

Also, today’s the last day of winter break, so tomorrow’s back-to-school day, I guess. Oh well, regents (high school standardized tests) begin on the 21st and end on February 2nd, and since I’m a senior, I’ve already taken all the regents I need to take, so that’s about another week of no school. That’s something to look forward to.

Happy 200⑨!


Yeah! All right! Welcome to 200?, the year of the ice fairy!

Maikaze Touhou Anime Project


Well, as everyone probably already knows, the Maikaze Anime Project is out. Well, part one anyhow.


Most people don’t bother looking at the names on credits, but those who did may have noticed this and thought “Wait, what?” upon seeing “KirbyM” on there. Since it’d be weird to not post about it, here’s an explanation!

The anime comes with English subtitles, translated by… well, I guess he goes by various names, but I’ll go with “Talka” since that’s what the credits have him as. As far as I know, he’s the only one at Maikaze that speaks fluent English, and he brought up the idea of having English subtitles included with the DVD. Then, sometime in November, I was basically given the opportunity to proofread the translated script and make suggestions for corrections on grammar, punctuation, typos, etc, as well as making the sentences sound more natural.

It was super top-secret and everything, and posting about it on here before release would have meant being assassinated by ninjas or something. The video even had a “do not upload” thing at the top! Anyway, yeah, that’s it. Good times.
