Okami Garyou Tensei Fanbook DVD rip
Yeah, many years after this fanbook was released. It's nothing extraordinary, just a summary of an hour and a half of the game in low-ish quality. Sadly, it wasn't until I uploaded that I realized that VLC was scaling the thing and the video was really small (384x288). But until I find a better way to rip it, here it is.

It's Moon Tribe headcanon time
Because I was talking about it in townsenta's spoilerrific Okamiden review and I thought I'd write it down. Please note that this isn't even the only Moon Tribe/Waka headcanon I have, but this is the one I'd like to write some backstory fic about. Mostly to reconcile the sequel butchery with the original, but never mind me.

Okamiden review
The non-spoilery part: I'd say 8/10. I'm surprised I didn't hate its guts like I expected, and my annoyances at the plot (many of those I already had before playing it) didn't hit until the final act, in which I was too busy getting my heart broken to whine properly about it. But that said, I had a lot of fun with the gameplay. I'm glad it was ( Read more... ) -
Hmmm
I think I've finally come unto something regarding the reasons for Kaguya's imprisonment.
When we talk to the emperor for the first time, he tells us:
I remember meeting with a bamboo seller called Kaguya. And I remember a secret treasure for crossing a sea of fire...
Then, did they lock her up in order to get the Fire Tablet, so they could cross ( Read more... ) -
Finally!
I've been searching for this legend for ages. So far I had only seen it in my mythology book, and this link has it more detailed.
Ushiwakamaru vs. BenkeiBesides the tengu legend (one day I'll make a long post about it), this IS the other source of inspiration for Waka's character design, and the reason why he carries a flute. There are even some ( Read more... ) -
Weapons weapons weapons
After some wasted time at Wikipedia and Google Images, I concluded the lance thing the Tao Troopers carry, besides the katana (...I guess it's a katana: with the fucked up proportions the characters have, it's hard to tell the length), must be a variation of a Jumonji-yari or trident-ish spear ( Read more... ) -
Bullet points, or something
1. Fanfic rec:
I was telling this on my normal LJ, but I'll repeat it here anyway. Someone wrote this really awesome fanfiction for Yuletide: Land of One Hundred Stories. Post-canon, Amaterasu + Waka. I loved this. Go read it if you're into fanfic, because it really feels like something out of the game.
2. Someone hold me......before I DO write a ( Read more... ) -
...puntastic!
So, as probably only me you know, Issun's name comes from Issun Boshi, the Japanese Tom Thumb fairytale. Nothing strange here.
But that's not the point. I was reading on Japanese units of measurement on the Wikipedia today ironically, for my Waka RP journal, because he wouldn't measure any shit on Western units, and I see there's this length unit ( Read more... )
