It's about stuff.
Videos for today: Marisa Stole the Precious thing combined with Overdrive by niji, Marasy playing COOL&CREATE’s “Rabbit of Happiness” song, a Spelunker version of Cirno’s Perfect Math Class, some sort of thing regarding the MAIKAZE anime project (I don’t really know what song it is), and then Cirno’s Perfect Math Class with a lot of Rumia.

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.
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.
