I’m using a plugin. It’s called nextgen-gallery and it’s just about exactly what I was after because it’s designed so that you have to embed a gallery into a Wordpress page in order for it to be displayed. So I can add images to blog entries and put those images into the ‘blog entries’ gallery and since that gallery is hidden it doesn’t clutter things up.

Also it auto-escapes any HTML included in the lightbox popup things, which is how I’m able to have links to different sizes inside the lightbox popup. So that part is manual.

Hey Negs, I’ve been looking at gallery plugins for wordpress was thinking of putting more scans on my page but I can’t find anything that I seem to really like. Did you code what you are using yourself or is it a plugin that I can find?

People are hoping for a Reitaisai release for Episode 2, but I think that’s far too soon. Optimistically, C76 would be more logical.

And yes, it was very good. The animation quality was 90s-era, and the character models were bad in many ways (shows that it’s a doujin effort though), but it really captured the spirit of the Touhou games. Plus the backgrounds were GORGEOUS.

Interestingly, most of the arguments going on right now are about the VA choices. For some reason, people don’t like Rie Tanaka doing Sakuya. o_o And… People are actually liking Aya more now due to her VA’s effort.

Oh, and Yukari is 17 years old. THAT was unexpected.

wild: The cast list is excellent and additionally they’re all well suited for their roles.

Myssa: I watched it last night. Went in with very low expectations but was really surprised at how good it was.

Hopefully the next one doesn’t take them too long.

Hey Negs, the Maikaze doujin work’s already out, so you MIGHT want to check it out. Tickle me surprised at the fact that they included English subtitles with the actual DVD (and apparently enlisted the English Fandom’s KirbyM to proofread).

I thought it was fun for a fanmade episode.

Touhou’s fighting games are spinoffs from the main series, which are all curtain-fire shoot-em-ups and are extremely good. Worth tracking down. I suggest Perfect Cherry Blossom or Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as a starting point if you’re interested. Especially PCB if you like Sakuya, since she’s one of the playable characters in that.
