【Touhou Fanimation】 An unscheduled Daiyousei appreciation animation
I temporarily halted my next scheduled Touhou animation to... do another Touhou animation!
#東方Project #大妖精
When I heard that the nameless Stage 2 mini-boss from Touhou Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil, known by the fandom as "Daiyousei" (Big Fairy), had been given a bit of love from its creator and her abilities were explained in slightly more detail. One of her gimmicks is that she teleports around the screen while she attacks the player, so fans had assumed that she simply had the ability to teleport, but as ZUN recently explained, what Daiyousei is actually doing, is moving through the mist. A sort of "Mist Step" if you will. That's pretty neat! So she technically teleports, but there's a condition for her to be able to do so!
Seeing how good ol' Dai-chan had been part of my channel, roughly a decade back and with an idea fresh in my mind, I simply had to do this as quickly as I could. (Not much in terms of animation, but just a fun, short video).
I hope you enjoy! More Touhou is to come!!
I normally don't solicit people to "LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!". I just want to have fun creating fun and cute animations; size of numbers is not important to me, but what I DO want, is to shut my family up about that "YouTube Play Button" plaque, so please do subscribe and stay tuned, for more Touhou Fanimation to come!
Music: Touhou: Lunate Elf, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, by ZUN ("arrange" by Daniel Renard)
Sound effect: Castlevania Portrait of ruin. Alastor (vaporization)

I'm not 'back'... Because I was never gone!
A thing that I've noticed with YouTube, is that no matter how much I try to notify subscriber and viewers in general, via media OTHER than videos directly, it is rarely as visible as one would desire. Like, don't get me wrong, I don't want it to get slapped up on the front page, but what I mean is, I can literally have created a Community Post within a couple of days ago, informing people of the various projects that I've been doing and where to find them, if they are available anywhere Online, other than my own channel.
One thing I've been doing, is aiding a small independent creator here on YouTube, going by the name of Ouka Miko, first appearing as a synth voice for UTAU and character for MikuMikuDance. Her adorable model being amazingly popular in the early days of VRChat, so much so that communities surrounding that model, still exists today! The voice talent behind that character wanted to breathe new life into it and took on VTubing, creating a chill, independent YouTube channel for gaming, karaoke and singing. This character is a fun blast from the past for me and she is an incredibly kind person, so I've helped her with a lot of things, from drawing her Channel Membership badges, custom emoji, some artwork for her video thumbnails, as well some animated music videos!
