A paper for my mandatory English course at uni. Figured I might just post this cuz I was showing Tenko.

Do note I wrote most of this at 5am the night before it was due during finals week so some sentences are awkward and like hell I'm going to edit this shit now :^) Also note that this was written almost three months ago hue.

Gr8 deb8 m8. I rel8, str8 appreci8, and congratul8. I r8 this deb8 an 8/8. Plz no h8., I'm str8 ir8. Cre8 more, can't w8. We should convers8, I won't ber8.

It's a good report, using good examples. I would think even people who have never heard of Touhou would be able to say "Gee I saw that character before" when they see Flandre or Cirno.

Jesus christ that striked out text

But yeah, I don't particularly think commercialization is the absolute best way to talk about Touhou (Though it IS an interesting point, like I make in the paper) but I had to for my class so l0l

I kinda bullshitted most of this though lol

I think the US gaming industry would flip if word about ZUN not really making that much money off such a huge game series like Touhou is known worldwide.
