Previous Thread: >>49397508 Where we're at currently:
+Touhou 20 uses AI for almost everything but the character art
+Western fans almost entirely against it
+Japanese fans more mixed (those strongly against it tend to stay quiet)
+Japanese news sites like Yahoo make articles about it: https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/b106fc46d9cfe75307752e5be29043bd5a5bfd7a
+The clean AI ZUN chose to use isn't actually clean at all (It's fucking ADOBE)
+ZUN's lawyer Ruw (JEW) keeps copyright striking Touhou music uploads in an attempt to wrest control of the IP from the fans who helped make it what it is in the first place
+ IceFaggot keeps shilling for ZUN while pretending to be neutral
+thcrap releases a patch that removes all the AI generated content from Touhou 20: https://www.thpatch.net/wiki/Touhou_Patch_Center:Download
+People bringing up the PC-98 stolen assets again, as well as calling it the death of Touhou: https://nautilus.nekoweb.org/en/writing/touhou-death/touhou-death
+It is Thursday
The controversy only gets bigger.

Bashful Oni Edition
▶What is this?
/egg/ — Era Games General; also known as the “Era Games Thread”.
Era games are a group of (usually) Japanese-developed text porn games.
They’re not exclusively related to the Touhou franchise, but it’s one of the series with the most Era games.
▶Games usually discussed here
eraTohoTW — Comfy Touhou dating simulator with time stop shenanigans.
eraTohoK — Tactical game about conquering Gensokyo through any (absolutely any) means.
eraMegaten — Dungeon crawler based on the Shin Megami Tensei series, with tons of characters from other series (Fate, Touhou, Madoka, etc) included.
▶Useful Links
Guides and downloads for all Era games. For TW you should get the eng-development version, eng-release is several years old.

>https://mega.nz/folder/ud1XiQAa#s1bcCcLc2Lv-tq3I80My0w
▶Games
Git repository that has latest official builds to any of the games, you can sometimes find more recent versions than the ones on the wiki.
>https://gitgud.io/era-games
Git repository for a fork of eraTohoTW maintained by the /egg/ community.
>https://gitgud.io/Legis1998/anon-tw/-/releases/
▶Tools
Automatic translator which copies text straight from the game. Comes with an optional customized built-in offline model. The password for it is "era".
>https://wiki.eragames.rip/index.php/Sugoi

>http://madhammer.club/files/era-updater.7z
▶How to play?
Run anchor.exe (or Emuera, depending on the game), Japanese locale is advised so you don’t run into untranslated text.
If you wish to manually update, delete old files aside the sav and dat folders to avoid any bugs.
▶Tips
If you’d like to either edit or add your own portraits, the files are located within the ‘resources’ folder in webp format. You can use paint.net to edit them. This Friday we'll hold the 3rd edition of the official /jp/ Skydrift Cup at 9 pm EST.
Join in for total chaos, ultra competitive autism, and the ultimate racing fun to be crowned Champion of the jpsies.

This is an ongoing communal story with a comedic tone. A poster advances the story by posting an image accompanied with a description or light narration. Then another poster advances the story from there and so on. Participation is open so feel free to jump in and contribute.
A few rules and guidelines:
* This is an image-driven story. Posts advancing the story need a suitable image posted alongside.
* Suitable images are often modifications of a previous image. Original images are fine as long as they fit the story.
* Drawings, doodles and/or shoops are fine. Your art only needs to be clear enough for others to understand what is happening.
* Feel free to request the thread to wait if you're worried someone else will advance the story before you finish your own piece. Please finish within a few days of making your request.
* It's encouraged to keep images simple so others may easily modify them. White backgrounds are ideal for their simplicity but not required.
* Advancements should feel like steps and not leaps. No sudden timeskips or abrupt scene shifts please!
* Please avoid gore and excess blood.
* Reading the previous threads is strongly encouraged. >A good partner is someone you can pull the strings of as you want. Otherwise, you are the one whose strings will be pulled. Music Channels

Post Japanese gravure here (remember this is a SFW board)
A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru), is a Japanese female model who primarily models on magazines, especially men's magazines, photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality.

https://jiggie.fun/Mhytb9 >AIEEEEEEEEE MIZUCHI-SAMA I KNEEEEL! PLEASE FORGIVE MY YOUKAI SHRINE YOU ARE THE TRUE SHRINE MAIDEN OF GENSOKYO! Post 2hus in any type of legwear! What are some of your favorite Japanese snacks, meals, and beverages? Do you have any preferred brands if any? Touhou is supposed to be a chaste series 
Let me explain simple.
Over half a year ago I fell in love with a character from Touhou, and I feel bad about it because is one of the most evil characters.
I know this sounds silly, but I genuinely do not like people like her. And even thought I do not like speaking about the morality about Touhou characters, I feel bad because her actions disgust me, even if it is not that explicit in the franchise. And is even worse because it crashes with my moral alignments, I would run from her if I meet her in real life.
And it also does not help that until recently I have come to internalize that she is not real. I mean, I got so invested in the Touhou conspiracy threads here that at some point I believed it for real, and even thought I do have common sense, my brain just forces it on me. An insult to my intelligence.
Now, what I want to talk about is to internalize for me how bad the Touhou characters actually are. With examples from canon, for example, what exactly does Yukari says about children (I have heard that she brags about kidnapping them. But I do not remember what manga it was, but I remember that she said something about children in PCB.)
I do not want to talk about morality because I know perfectly that it never ends well. So is more like trying to engage with canon and why they are terrible people.
Also, you can love your 2hu waifu, this is not to say that you cannot love 2hus or anything. This is just me.
Please. Since jigoku has "primate spirits" that are just humans, I think it's fair to say that Kasen's ability works on humans. Would anon like to be the "monkey" that increases her overall luck? ZUN is now copyright striking Touhou OST uploads on YouTube. I guess he figured that with the AI debate behind him he can fully monopolize the franchise.

Previous thread: >>49240589 Narumi is hidden among the Jizo statues. Can you spot her? More touhous should be tied up The greatest Shrine Maiden of Hakurei! Fun fact: In Gensokyo, it's perfectly legal for 2hus to kiss or hug each other in public. KING OF HAGS WANTS A THREAD TOO!!!!! 
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). Interesting 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 often gets misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Anyways, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence how the genre gets its name. Honestly, if you still need to hand to be held on what makes something "anison" or what is a "club," then you need to GTFO and 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 do yourself a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan! However, 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 held online. As previous mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are individuals associated with MOGRA which also streams online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA who goes by the channel name of choroyama via Twitch. As previously stated, 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.

Previous thread: >>49082098 Touhou lore/writefag/worldbuilding thread.
Most people just tend to look at pretty pictures, but I realized in the downtime that few actual readers or writers don't have a place to discuss their stuff. So here it is.
AI-assisted or not, I don't care. If you're into this niche then you at least have some interest in Touhou lore, and you'll fit right in.
I'll post my interpretations in due time. Anyway for now, taking worldbuilding questions or requests. Gameplay discussion.
Last thread >>48988096
Anyone else progressing with extras? Are dolls in wedding dresses really that dangerous for anon's heart? Last thread died prematurely Here is your professor for the day let's talk about the best fairy of gensokyo!
i want to start this thread with a simple question
which cirno do you prefer? Since we're back again, let's have a thread for all the meaty residents of Gensokyo! A thread dedicated to our favorite hu's with gigantic hearts! Mythical creatures and other beings you would like to see in Touhou?
For me it's gashadokuro, a skelly would be nice

Previous floor: >>49338277 Guess who this thread is about I think Kamakura and Hokkaido are 10x more interesting than Tokyo and Kyoto.
If I had to choose between never visiting Kamakura and Hokkaido, or never visiting Tokyo and Kyoto, it'd be not visiting Tokyo and Kyoto easy. /jp/ is one big fairy mob. Could we have a thread like this again? Post some unusual pieces of Touhou fanart, like strange and remarkable artstyles, handmade plushies, art made on alternative surfaces, sculptures or other similar things. how is touhou so popular?
Cirno has her own museum
touhou has its own pachinko machines
basically every Japanese kid knows about Yukkuris
Bad Apple appeared on CNN
Touhou art appeared in the British Museum
Touhou has its own thematic bars, cafés, and lots of other stuff in Tokyo
etc
How did it go from a simple bullet hell franchise to this? I bought a fleshlight (from italy) (onahole) from Japan (from kanojotoys) and it depicted this boxart, in Italy the Court of Cassation on 2023/11/24 declared that any element depicting (even drawings) children in sexual acts is considered child pornography
Now: they still haven't shipped, I WOULD LIKE the boxart (because for me it's NOT LOLI or a minor) what do I do, let it go like this?
Or do I tell them to remove it?
Or if I ask them to "censor" by DOOING the figure but keeping the box intact? Thanks and I'll wait for you
It's important they ship the day after tomorrow
Obviously I'm talking about customs in case they open the package and see that drawing
Infinite thanks, I'm terrified Why is Reimu STILL Poor After 25 Years of Danmaku Capitalism?
Explain it to me like I’m a fairy:
>She runs the only shrine in Gensokyo.
>She singlehandedly prevents the world from ending every 3 months.
>She canonically takes donations and gets offerings.
>She's best friends with the wealthiest youkai in the land (Yukari).
>Marisa literally steals things and has a better house.
Is ZUN hiding some kind of anti-capitalist allegory? Is this Gensokyo's critique of the meritocracy? Or is Reimu just financially illiterate and blowing her money on donation box gacha pulls?
I want spreadsheets. I want lore citations. I want someone to explain how the literal miko of balance can’t afford a roof. BUMP THE COWES THREAD
DO IT NOW I am going to Japan, and I want to visit Suwa-ko, pay my respects, and see the best of what the town has to offer.
What's the best way of doing that? fuck overrated touhou cancer. seihou is the real deal, with seihou 3 being the best I want to have sex with Satsuki Rin I want to marry the Gatekeeper lady!
