So being serious, is there a /jp/ meetup being organized to see ZUN?

>> No.10654927

People were talking about it for a while, but nobody has made any plans yet, as far as I know.

No, but the holy pilgrimage is a priority. The important thing is to not be rude or pressure him with unwanted questions or demands like "PUT MIMA IN THE NEXT GAME NAO!! DO IT!!"

ZUN is a pretty shy person and this is his first time here so we should try to keep the atmosphere open and friendly.

When we stalked Reimu-chan, it turned out a few /jp/ers have been to AWA before, or live near there. I'm sure we'll get at least one person who goes, asks a dumb meme question, and then posts about how hilarious it was.

Nigger, you have Japanese culture backwards as HELL. They don't want you to act all laid-back with open arms, they want you to keep a stiff upper lip and be respectful.

I know this because I'm British and our cultures are identical. I've played over 50 eroge so I know what I'm talking about.

I honestly don't give a fuck about ZUN, the man.

Don't get me wrong, I love his creations, but I see no point in actually meeting him or talking to him in person other than to use as bragging rights to those that do care to meet him.

So, yah, no thank you, I'll just continue to enjoy all his kawaii boushi uguu~ girls without ever meeting him.

I will however confess that I would like a /jp/ meetup, however that would require going outside, so that won't happen either.

It's a good opportunity to hear him talk *about* the franchise, though.

It's okay to be a fan of somebody if they make something you like. I mightn't care what ZUN had for breakfast or how his dad died (fuck you, Notch), but I care about his thoughts on STGs and the future of Touhou.

Because 1. You might get to ask something, and 2. Real life is an artificial limiter to keep your short attention span from making you do something else. I've never walked out of a class or lecture, but I've stopped watching MIT or Khan Academy videos to fap or play games so many times.

>> No.10655873

Do you think ZUN might be thinking about releasing translated versions of the games? I'd always assumed his attitude to the western fanbase was one of apathy at best, but if he's willing to travel overseas for a con appearance he must be at least a little interested, right? There's been at least one or two localization groups that have approached him already, and if he plans to go for it this event would be a logical time to announce something.

Why would you think that? The entire purpose of him taking the name Team Shanghai Alice was because he thought Shanghai was a representation of Eastern and Western cultures meshing in harmony.

Of course, it did seem like his interest in the West may have declined a bit, considering early Windows era it was all about Westerners like Scarlet sisters, Patchouli Knowledge, Alice Margatroid, ect. Even Cirno and her buddies had Western-derived names. But since a little before the second main Windows era, the focus became predominantly Japanese and religion leaning.
