Oh, a perfect gift! A ring carved from a diamond! Diamonds last forever, and are very difficult to destroy. ^^Ohhh diamonds. Flan could easily break it but its shiny and sparkly so I think she would like it. She might say something like "I love it! It goes 'kira kira' when I poke it"

You used too many nicknames for me, BiBi! Pick only one that you think is the most suitable for me. [size=3]inb4 "Old..."[/h]
Still, the only similarity Maria and Marisa shared is having blonde hair.
I don't mind with such stories as long as it also explains why one is able to become stronger, not with time-skip bullcrap or whatsoever. Still, I tend to avoid the ones about having more friends <=> Becomes stronger, which seems to be one of most shonen's main selling factors.
Good thing Gintama and Fight Ippo aren't really like that.
No offense intended, but Imizu's stories are always shallow. As entertaining [size=10](which I actually don't enjoy in the slightest)[/h] as it might be, it still wouldn't leave any impression in me. Perhaps the artist only wanted to emphasize how good his/her art-style is ? Oh, but then again, his/her style doesn't synch well with Toho's from my perspective, despite of the higher-than-standard quality that is; it's just like using a nuclear to get rid of a cockroach.
Yep, I was trying to play Katawa Shoujo => Dropped it because I had no time to play games back then => Still couldn't pick it up in the next holiday. Perhaps it will forever be listed in my backlog.
Overall, Kanon is superior than AIR, though it's more like in a sense that the former is newer and more modern than the latter.
Kanon left a deep impression in me because it was my first anime (excluding Doraemon and Cardcaptor Sakura), yet is still able to entertain me despite of my more-than-7-years-without-watching-any-anime (CCS finished airing in my local TV channel). On the other hand, Air, while it might be not as beautiful, graphic-wise, it managed to offer a different approaching of love and drama. In case you don't know, I normally don't like those two genres; it's very rare for me to like something which has both.
You still have yet to touch After Story ??

Do you find it hard to pick up a VN after stopping for some time? Which would you say is better? Kanon or Air? On Clannad, I have 6 episodes left. This is a bit before how far I got in the game.Yep, I was trying to play Katawa Shoujo => Dropped it because I had no time to play games back then => Still couldn't pick it up in the next holiday.

What do you think of generic training for an explanation of growth then?
Evidenced by anime/manga list in sig, I don't have experience with too many of that style of shounen.

That one may always be in my backlog as well until I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Since you don't like either genre they really must be something else.

On Ushio and the ending:
Spoiler:
Onto more Touhou things:
Has anyone tried TSA on lunatic? I tried against Reimu and she could barely touch me. In fact she barely even shot at me. Using Flan powered up with spirit orbs. Was this just a random thing or is the CPU strategy so much different on lunatic? On easy and normal the CPU shoots quite often but Reimu-lunatic barely took a shot.

Yep. It was so horrible. I had over 275M points as ReimuB, and then I died. lol. So I finished the recollection spellcard so I could at least practice the stage at a later time if I want to...
I got past Stages 1-3 without losing a life, and lost only one life to the Prismriver Three.

As long as it's in detail and rational, then I won't complain much. I wouldn't read anything that couldn't teach me, be it about moral, theory, ideals, or common knowledge.

I would suggest focusing on 1-CC-ing PCB and paying less attention to scores first, Lambda.
Though doing and succeeding in both at the same time would really up the sense of achievement. You did well on life preservation there.

Concept of reality and fantasy, common sense and uncommon sense, real world and Gensokyo.
According to the interviews in Symposium[size=7][1][/h] , one other possible solution to enter Gensokyo has been revealed. The concept of Gensokyo is like the concept of fantasy, in a sense that whatever belongs there, it must be out of our array of rational thinking.
Miko stated that she awoke from her deep slumber without knowing where she was, which also means that she was spirited away/transported to Gensokyo without realizing it. In response to Miko's confusion, Kanako stated and clarified the reason: everything that has disappeared, been forgotten, or had renounced from the outside world can be found in Gensokyo. Implying that Miko has ceased to exist in the outside world, or simply doesn't belong there anymore, just like in Kanako's case.
One more popular theory of entering Gensokyo is by simply barging into it, just like what Kanako probably did. It's also stated that Kanako was aware of The Land of Fantasy, Gensokyo's existence, while she still lives in the outside world[size=7][2][/h] . Although it's not clear yet on how or what is the specific method to do such feat successfully.
In case you guys don't remember, Maribel also visited Gensokyo in her dream, albeit unintentionally[size=7][3][/h] . According to how she worded it, the place was just like a place with a dream-like world's scent, the place that was filled with irrational things, the imaginary world, a fantasy. So lovely and fitting for a dream, yet dangerous. The most probable reason of why she managed to enter Gensokyo must be related to her boundary power. But during that time, she has yet to master her control of boundaries. And if she didn't know that such place exists, then why could she enter it ?
Let the discussion rolls. Any coherent input is welcomed.

Ah hah hah... I just got really lucky is all... I ran out of bombs before I got to them, and was some how able to squeeze through all those tiny holes... all the while, I was pressing the bomb button as a reflex... I don't think I could get as far with Marisa...

Often. Very often. The spellcard practice just to figure out its trick in detail. Not so much the stage practice. Like Space Hitler was saying having a rhythm is really important as it lets you get through both spellcard and nonspellcard stages with relative ease. Ideally these games should be something like climbing stairs while jogging. To be quick you need practice and a good internal metronome. The practice lets you repeat a specific step until you feel comfortable with it and figure out its pace. While helpful, it can never replace starting from the bottom and stringing all the stairs together.
Nothing can replace starting from the bottom and pushing your way through a series of trial and error to the end. And for that reason I'm thankful when ZUN brought back the old continue system for Ten Desires -- you can just continue on the spot when you died instead of starting from the beginning of the stage like in previous installments (MoF, SA, and UFO)

Ha ha ha. That's why, Touhou and pinball don't mix well so far. I mean, look at HRtP. Part-danmaku, part bouncing yin-yang pinball. It didn't mix well (in my opinion) and could be really frustrating to go through.

Well, anyway. I've been trying that rhythm game (touhou rhythm carnival) and I pretty much suck at it. No luck with Patapon too. It's seems I lack rhythm inside. But these games are pretty fun, so I think I'll play more.
By the way, going a little bit out of main topic a bit. What other STG/shmup/danmaku games are you playing besides Touhou, guys? Been playing some Gradius and Darius Burst on my psp lately. Good games.

Sometimes Lunatic Modo made me forgot to smile, the plus side is. Dying in Lunatic doesn't feel so bad, I have the urge to pat myself on the shoulder saying 'At least you tried'

That's skill, not luck. Or if you're still insisting that it was a mere luck, then what you need to do is to convert it into your skill.
If you really only lost 1 life during stage 4, then why couldn't you finish it ? Who took your lives the most ? I'm gonna shoot at someone and guess that it was Youmu, right ?

Good games.Magical Girl Girl what-what-Cannon in Android, I don't recall the game's name because it was so atrocious. The controls were not as responsive as I expected, the english conversation was as bad as chatting via google translator. On the bright side, it has good graphic, but still not really something I would recommend.
