It's a bullet hell shooter, with a fuckton of loli? I'll pass thanks.

At least it isn't Strike Witches.

'At least'

Too many people use this as an excuse to shrug off critiques of screwed up shit they are into.

Though, honestly, I think that this might be passable as Fungus taking the mick like he did with Rozen Maiden. I can't be 100% sure, so I'm going to ask you to try not to make excuses and tell me that this game is not as bad as 'at least' hints it to be.

I've already said that I haven't played it (Or that I want to play it, just to clarify that I haven't).

The difference between this and strike witches, a game I haven't played compared to an anime I haven't watched,

One has lolis firing bullets and dodging bullets, the other has lolis with little clothes on at any opportunity the producer finds.

Take your pick.

Psychodrake They are only really lolis when they are actually being presented as sexual objects (FANART DOES NOT COUNT). Which is what I want to know.


And sorry for assuming shit I didn't know bro. My bad.

You will be.

Yeah I guess you can't call them lolis. They're just girls drawn in a "Cutesy" style. Y'know, that style that every mangaka does nowadays.

[CephaSquiddy]

Touhou doesn't have sexual stuff as far as I know.

[Trygon]

Then all is cool, and Fungus is an ass.

[psychichobo]

To be fair, nearly every manga these days has that cutesey magical girl style stuff and many border on loli, so it's not a completely invalid assumption to make.

[CephaSquiddy]

You have a very solid point, but remember, this is Fungus. He's an ass just to be an ass most of the time.

[kaosherald]

Yeah in no way are they ever given off as sex object. There isn't even a single sexual innuendo in the whole thing. And to be fair, the style is indeed very cutesy, but the game has been out for quite a while. So the designers weren't exactly copying from the everyday. Possible that it may have been getting popular when it was first made though.

Ikaruga be the betters.

It's poor translation created a personal meme for me.

[FungusA]

I'm no ass, we all know; shit hits the fan in japan. After a big enough fanbase, the producers start removing clothes.

It's inevitable.

I've not actually played the translated version, only Gamecube one. I'll have to harass Xbox-owning friends.

Ikaruga is going
Even though the ideal is high
I never give in
Therefore I never die with regrets


That's the first piece of poor translation you see, and every level just decends to the point of WTF hilarity.

Then... the last boss speaks. His words are meaningless engrish. Then, he ends his speech with:

Can you understand it?

Me and my mate both said "No, we can't" at the same time then laughed for ages. Now, whenever something unintelligable is said to us we say "can you understand it?".
