Description Finally this is done. I have to say, I put practically my entire soul into this animation. I think it turned out pretty decent, aside from the lag from time to time. But that will be corrected later. Anyway, credits are all there so just sit back and enjoy the animation.

I just got back from the Pokemon X and Y midnight release, so I likely won't be paying attention to reality for a little while. Sorry.

Also, a shoutout to my good friend It just so happened to be his birthday today. So happy birthday dude.

Also, don't forget to check out my group. #SpriteEffects

download it here: shadow624.deviantart.com/art/O…

Put it in your flash's library and put it on the very first frame of the animation. It'll do the rest.

Eh, a "Please" would have been nice. :/ The effects used in this was posted right after I posted this animation. I don't really think you looked very hard...

I got into Touhou 5 years ago. I saw my first video relevant of it on October 11, 2007.Β 

It wasn't until March 11, 2008, funny enough, when I found out the Touhou series games, creator, and so much more.

And here I saw you started this project on March 11.Β 


So you can imagine this is quite the greatest example of how good some of these fan made things have been these fantastic 5 years of Touhou for me, so thank you for the throwback to those good times and the fantastic animation you worked on here, it turned out absolutely wonderful.

I got into it around the end of 2011. My friend whom I wished the happy birthday to was into it a month prior. He was talking about it somewhat because he found the sprites of Flandre from Mystic Square. Now, I really got into the series after a day of paruising Spriters-Resource, looking for cool effects and such. I eventually found Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and quite metaphorically crapped my pants. The game was absolutely beautiful looking, as most Taosfro games are. As soon as I found them, I knew immediately that I'd be making an over-the-top animation with them. So yeah, after playing the hell out of SWR and pretty much every other Touhou game out there, I'm a pretty hardened fan. Ironically, while typing this I'm actually wearing my "Bad Apple" shirt. Well, that's my Touhou story.

And thank you very much. I think the next two will go just as smoothly~ ... Probably.

My computer's really slow and can't handle this intense action, at least on deviantart.Β  Are you going to have this up on youtube or at the very least newgrounds?

Shadow624 In reply to Ric-Ultima [2013-10-14 00:36:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you sir. And yes, it will be on both Youtube and Newgrounds. It'll be put through Swivel on both sites so the lag will completely disappear. Which is good because the last bit looks pretty neat with no lag.

Yeah see, I have no idea why it hasn't been done yet. I just makes no sense to me I mean, the sprites look awesome and the fanbase is enormous. I looked around the internet and thought "WHY HAS THIS NOT HAPPENED YET?!"

Heh, yeah. Every once in awhile, Chapter 1's file would say "Not enough memory" and close. I can't imagine how many times that'll happen on Chapter 2's file... -FT- Thank God I've learned to save often.

Rambobby In reply to Shadow624 [2013-10-14 23:44:34 +0000 UTC]

Ah, man! xD That's one of the reasons I like to have adobe flash instead of macromedia, back up data. Β So Chapter 2 going to be even more intense? That's ganna be crazzzy.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Shadow624 In reply to Rambobby [2013-10-15 20:57:23 +0000 UTC]

I think adobe actually crashes more. So in reality if you saved often you'd be better off in Macromedia And truth be told i honestly doubt it'll be any more intense than this one. I just need more effects and character sprites for the next two. Which will make the file size bigger which will make the file more prone to crashing. But whatever. I'll figure something out. I'm honestly not worried about it in the slightest.

Rambobby In reply to Shadow624 [2013-10-16 01:56:11 +0000 UTC]

Ehhhhhh. What do you mean it'll make the file size bigger? You're not going to start chapter 2 from a new FLA? That's ganna be one big file after you finish all the chapters.

Shadow624 In reply to Rambobby [2013-10-16 02:11:24 +0000 UTC]

If I used the same FLA. file, that btw, is over 161 megabytes in size and kept adding stuff into its library, my computer would probably catch on fire. I'll just make a new file and copy-paste the necessites from library to library.

Really awesome Shad!!

The effects and lighting in particular were really impressive, you sure have a lot of attention to detail Β 

The rays of light in the first scene were probably the best lighting i've seen in a flash animation


I got Pokemon Y myself too, did you get X or Y?

Shadow624 In reply to RosalinaSama [2013-10-12 22:36:59 +0000 UTC]

Effects are my specialty. And I got X. I usually get the one that most people don't get. Although I think most people ended switching to X because of Charizard's Mega form in it... BP

The animation itself is really good. Your sound effects are not fitting though. If you have skype i can give u better sfx man.

Well, as I said, I got X just to be different.

I can live with that. The only negative comments I've on gotten on this were regarding the SFX. And sure I'll give you my Skype. I mean, what sane animator would pass up more sound effects to work with? Thanks.

Yeah when they first announced them I remember everyone wanted Y and then like right before release they show that Mega Charizard X and then everyone switched... I still wanted Y because the Mewtwo Y form and the Y legendary
