I generally go by how distinctive a character look when it comes to chara design, and as far as Touhou goes, the girls featured in Bad Apple can be recognized despite everything being in black and white. As for the big name that is suspiciously absent from Bad Apple, Cirno (yeah, she's not in the PV and nobody and ever remarks that), her chara design is a VERY simple blue and white color scheme plus distinctive crystal wings. There are more adult looking or longer haired Cirnos elswhere, but these few traits just allows one to identify her instantaneously. So yeah, pretty cool chara design (no pun intended) as far as the ice fairy goes. As fot the more modern girls that are not as simple as the old ones, I just like Toutetsu despite her having a lot of stuff. She's goat the most unique head among the cast what's with the curly horns wit bows, the short and very wavy hair, gremlin piercing on the gremlin ears, the sharp oil-eating grin, and the goat-like "-" in her eyes (whatever these are called), which are suspiciously absent in her ZUNart. Also giant spork. |

I've been looking at Iku's design a lot recently. I really really like how her outfit is a fusion between a flamenco outfit and a Japanese hagoromo. It's one of the rare occasion where ZUN implements both western and eastern into one design. Her white-red colour palette is very appealing to me as well since I just find that colour scheme very interesting. She also has a lot of frills and I love frills. I see a lot of people complain about how ZUN adds too many frills to his character but I don't really see a problem since I love frills myself. |

Tenshi's character design is probably one of my favourites, but it's mainly because I think her hat looks cool. I mean it's big and has peaches on it. --- Quote from: moons1de_ on October 21, 2023, 08:48:17 PM ---I find it interesting how some of ZUN's older Touhou titles like EoSD or PCB have much different interpretations of how characters look compared to modern interpretations. I know this is because of time and how ZUN and the fans tend to alter the character designs partially, but I feel like a good example is Cirno's character portrait, which looks much more different to how she's usually portrayed now, with more wavy-ish hair and challenging look rather than a loveable doofus. --- End quote --- Also Cirno's EoSD sprites is one of my favourites ZUN has made. Kinda wish they kept Cirno like that since I really liked how her hair looked and her confidence made her look pretty cool. Maybe being demoted to the stage 1 mid-boss in PCB made her loss that confidence? |
