I wouldn't even call most of the character designs moe, really. Some of them look young, but I don't think any of them are particularly cutesy, or protect-able, or however you want to define a moe design (so to be fair, it's pretty easy to think differently about this).

People tend to interpret the designs in very moe ways, but I think the better ones veer way from that. ZUN's actual art is a different subject altogether.

But yeah, as Clarste said, there's really no moe here outside of fandom. I think if Suwako heard someone call her a waifu, assuming she cared at all, you'd just see the ground swallow that poor soul up.

Also, wow, I can't believe I missed this yesterday. Touhou is one of my favorites and I so rarely hear anything about it.

Well, finally. I wonder what got ZUN to finally give in? I haven't played a Touhou game since Imperishable Night, but I'll definitely pick this up to support the Western release.


My guess is that western fans kept asking him and he figured there's no harm in an official English version. I don't know the reason behind his initial refusal for any official translation though.
