I don't think you have to be an anime fan to appreciate this utterly insane feat of stop-motion animation. Admittedly, the video of the "apple" existed previously -- you can watch it by itself right here -- but to print out all of the frames of animation and then have them move around like this? Impressive. Hell, I wouldn't have enough enough to print out all those goddamn copies. (Via AnimeVice)

Anime fan or not, that's the most amazing thing I've seen anyone do all week... That video is on par with most "professional" music videos.

I gotta hand it to Touhou fans, they're superdedicated. This is one of the better Touhou fanvids I've seen on NicoNico, and it's incredibly fresh compared to the rest of its Flash brethren.

God Damn- i have no idea where that thing is from, but it was all sorts of awesome. That's better than most "professional" music videos.

So let's get the timeline straight:
-Bad Apple shadow video uploaded to NicoNicoDouga
-Person takes screencaps of (essentially) every frame of the video
-Same person films the screencaps stop-motion style, adding additional animation while filming.
Holy. Freaking. Crap.

Why did it have to be Touhou? It's always Touhou. D:

This is the first nerd-made video on TR I've seen in a long time where I was prepared, despite your verbal ejaculations about it, for a horrible waste of time.
After watching it, I realize that A) I have not been this wrong in years, as it was almost mesmerizing in it's awesomeness, and B) I owe you an apology for even thinking that you were over-hyping it (though you do tend to do that from time to time).
: )

What is it about Touhou that inspires this level of devotion? I mean--they're bullet hell games, right? There's not much room for plot or characterization in that sort of game I would think--though fighting games are sort of the same way and yet most of them have pretty elaborate mythologies.

hopefully all that time spent earns this nerd a job, but then again, i used to tinker with pc's and it lost all the fun when I did it for a living! :/

I was curious as to what the video meant around the 1:55 mark when it said CNN misinterpreted the video. Turns out, CNN thought this was the 'making of' the original video.

Y'know, I've been avoiding these bullet hell games, but I think this video's pushed me over the edge. Time to break out the ol' shmup skills and give this series a shot.

Just remember this one rule for people not in the "know" with bullet hell shooters:
*If you see an impressive Japanese music video featuring anime girls you don't know about, there's a 85% chance that it is Touhou. 15% Vocaloid.
