Very nice analysis. I'm glad you talked about the parallels between the Watatsukis and Reimu+Yukari. As always, the editing is really nicely done, too. I think I would have to agree about Mokou's chapter being the most interesting. It feels like an altogether different vibe from the rest of the series, with its closest relative being the DiPP story that is practically disconnected from everything else. Will you be continuing more written works? Or perhaps moving onto something else?
@@TheKeysmash Cool. Looking forward to it! By the way, I'm still curious. How do you do the coloring for the characters on those panels? I'd love to use that technique myself.
11:06 Sadly this book is the closest we'll get to an actually interesting book story told from Youmu's perspective. Basically the rest of the printworks just turns Youmu into a flanderized butt-monkey for jokes and her actual character is never really explored or expanded. Youmu is the only reason I got into this series and the printworks have been overall a disastrous disappointment to me because of that.
i was gonna leave a mildly annoyed comment on your SSIB video about you not mentioning how CiLR as a companion piece, but realized the vid was a year old and i should check if youve also made a vid on it, lol. Both videos are good, i like your editing style and you're right about mokou's chapter, but it's a bit funny that you brushed off yukari's chapter as dry and uninteresting after making fun of her in the ssib vid for losing the first genso-lunar war, because some of the stuff she says in there really strongly implies that she's losing intentionally

The plan is to eventually do it all. Not all in a row, but have every other or every third video be Touhou at least.
