The first one is the one Gensokyo is blessed with. The second is what gave me night terrors for a week despite being a knight. Even if it wasn't the real Koishi, that universe was just... something else...
@@forgotmyoldanonymousaccountThe thing people don’t really understand with her ULiL and AoCF depictions is that she’s intentionally being creepy to play off the urban legend. If you read the dialogue she isn’t actually an insane serial killer, but playing it up for the scare.
The eye acts as if it has a mind of it's own, but in reality it's just Koishi's conscious thoughts happening as she's stabbing her 3rd eye. Imagine mentally crippling yourself to not be hated anymore, that's essentially what Koishi's doing. I wish someone would hug the poor girl, but that would unconsciously hurt her instead.
This is going to be a wild ride… Koishi symbolically cutting/stabbing off her inner conscience. This is both going to be scary and probably really silly. Let’s hope she found a fishing rod before… yeah
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Pretty much. Now she's pretty much a walking husk of who she once was, lost in her own subconsciousness. It's like roaming around in a constant state of dreaming, disconnected from reality and reason.
That’s actually her own eye, Koishi is a satori, a type of youkai with a third eye that can read minds. Koishi has a sister who is avoided by pretty much the entire touhou cast, since again, she can read minds, so Koishi decided to not use her third eye anymore so the people won’t hate her. That’s why you can see her stabbing her eye in the video (although it the og lore she just closed it, the eye stab isn’t canon☝️🤓)
No it's her 3rd eye as she is a Satori, a type of youkai who can read minds using her 3rd eye, however Satoris are hated due to the fact that they can read minds so Koishi decided to close hers while her Sister, Satori Komiji, kept hers open as she loves her ability
@@itzskir6832 not a huge fan of touhou but got hyper fixated on Koishi one day. It’s never stated if it was painful for either her or her eye. I don’t know where everybody gets the impression she shut her eye with a knife either, from what I remember it’s only stated she closed her third eye, with no further elaboration. Perhaps someone else more in the know can correct me if I said anything wrong but I’m 80% sure that’s everything.
@@minibotas9496The idea that she stabbed it came from the fact that koishi carries a knife with her in the fighting games. It's more likely that she used a magic seal on it though, because stabbing wouldn't do anything. Youkai are immune to physical damage and just regenerate. The exception is that if a physical attack carries significant ritualistic or metaphorical meaning, it could work on specific kinds of youkai. Maybe she _could_ have stabbed her third eye if the act of doing so counts as meaningful, like metaphorically and literally separating her unconscious and conscious.
The fact that she has no idea that her third eye is linked to her mind makes the stab so much worse. "Head Empty" doesn't mean emotions stop going BRRRRR.
No it's worse. Because it is open at this time she does know and is fully aware of what she's doing and does it anyways because keeping it open causes her too much anguish
The fading sound of a phone ringing at the end is a super nice touch, gives me chills I am absolutely positively HYPED for this, I've no joke been waiting for this since I found that draft several years ago
This is so beautiful of you having gone from simple cute girl animation to full on animating a cartoon for the upcoming Koishi Project can’t wait for it to be unleashed and your team helping you out you rule man 😎👌🤌❤️💯✨🫶
Your original draft of this animation was how I found your channel and to see it’s getting revive now makes me so excited I honestly can’t wait! Keep up the good work always PEAR!
Dude I’m so excited, ever since the original unfinished one you have made I’ve been wanting a finished one. This is going to be one of the best touhou animations of all time
Superb. This looks really exceptional. Just beautiful movement, appealing design, and stunning work overall! Very much looking forward to when this is finished. 🖤💚🧡
It's absolutely incredible to see the project come so far- Im excited to see it!!! The original version you posted is a defining Touhou work to me, I love it so much
