Incidents of my Gensokyo
Due to some surge of curiosity, I recently tried Making you a two-dimensional girl from the link I fished out from Sixten’s site. All you have to do is enter your name, and it generates a brief description of your 2D self, from clothes to personalities.
This is what I got:
If shance was 2D: 『Wears a China dress. Has droopy eyes. Has long, green hair. An erotic and seemingly lonely character.』
And so, it came to this…
Fighting the good fight.
Ah, yes. You might be wondering where the hell was I when the new season came in. I-i-i-i-i-it’s not like I wasn’t watching out for it or anything! I just did something else, that’s all! But tsundere jokes aside, yes, I was gone. Again. No excuse to give, nothing much to tell but the valid alibi. Let’s just say I’m pretty much bored wasting myself watching oldschool shows during my short trips down the Memory Lane.

Before I knew it, was browsing for mecha-musume pictures, and was enslaved by this certain unknown artist that I can’t remember anymore (and no, he’s not Shimada Fumikane of Strike Witches fame). He drew mecha-musume for old models of tanks and planes, which only deepened my liking for the genre. That was the very first time that I loved the idea of combining the charm of a girl and the spunk of a machine. Like how Seihou is West and Touhou is East, this fanaticism for technology became parallel with my love for fantasy and the supernatural.

You won’t see this kind of thing inside the confines of official material, or outside the confines of Patchouli’s mind, especially since Touhou is already questionable on being “official material”. But it’s out anyway, so what gives?
animekritik just opened himself a can of worms. Who’s willing enough to eat its contents? I am.
