Otaku losses continue to mount with the news that top Touhou doujin event Reitaisai, formerly due on the 13th of March, is to be cancelled as a result of the quake.
Its venue is none other than Big Sight, which is now said to be undergoing safety checks. Major damage is not reported, so TAF, due in weeks, is unlikely to be affected.

Tenshi, that wasn't the Hakurei Shrine! It's not even Gensokyo, how did you miss the target by that much?
She got bored and wanted to hit something other than in Gensokyo
But to do that, she needed to go outside Gensokyo. To do that, she need a gap.
Godammit Yukari!
Yukari kicked Tenshi outta Gensokyo. Tenshi is trying to force her way in again.
Yukari hate Tenshi, why she help her ?
cause yukari loves to stir troubles
Because she got bored in heaven so she stirs things up on earth
Looks like it's time for a spanking...

So it's out early:
"Japan cancelled by Quake"
I consider this to be good. Sure, Touhou goods will not be sold as expected, but could you really imagine if they had gone ahead with the event in lieu of the current emergency?
Without a doubt a very good decision, lest you want the media give the whole event a "backlash" of scorn.
If They going to let TAF to continue,now thats what I called heartless.At least wait until June,then can people go on with events like that.Remember that the Tokyo area was also hit.
I hope ZUN is okay.
he's been making twitter updates, he's fine
Good to know~
I hope Ishihara is not...
+1
No wait...
ITS OVER 9000!!!!
Capitalizing headlines words single letter is evil... I thought it was being canceled by Quake, not quake. As in, id Software's Quake.
Quake hits Japan... LOL!
A Quake that size deserves capitalization, I think.
Hell,a Quake that size deserves capslock.
That's the joke.
Funny that ZUN mentioned that the first thing he checked was his liquor before anything else
That's not funny -- that's to be expected!
No Touhou 13?
No touhou Doujins?
No fap week?
NOOOOOOO!!!!
Well I can't blame them an earthquake is well an Earthquake! Also guess it doesnt affect the retaliation fair too
Such Misfortune..
I think as long as it's relatively safe, they should still hold it. But donate half of the profits to the earthquake relief or something.
I agree I would even go to the Evil TAF if the profits were going towards earthquake relief
Its all for the greater good
Although I would probally choose the retaliation and donate seperately :D
Personally it was a good choice. I'm a toouho fan and I try to support ZUN as much as possible. But this is both a smart move media wise and profit wise, putting on an event after a major earthquake like this will only result in loss of profit. I think with all the panic there wouldn't be a lot of customers. Plus there won't be backlash from media as others have pointed out.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh well, it was bound to happen once all this occurred so it's back to grieving over the Otaku who died in that unfortunate incident...
Hinako (the youki who neutralizes misfortune) and Remilia (the youki who manipulates fate) dropped the ball. It's up to Sanae (the priestess of miracles) and Tewi (the youki of luck) to pick up the slack.
You know, it just occurred to me this may be all Flandre's fault. It's been said her special ability allows her to instictively know a person's or object's weakness and strike at it...
This happened to an episode of Pokemon with Whiscash cuz the people thought it was too soon. From what I read, Wbhiscash uses earthquake in the show. Eventually they just said, "meh" and never aired it. This, however, I have the feeling won't fade so easily.
Touhou will rise again.
I understand the issue, safety comes first, and
godSuwako knows what it means to host such a crowded event (4000 circles this edition, if I recall correctly). It would have surely backfired in the media, given the current situation.But anyway... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think TAF has already suffered enough losses to be considered a disaster zone.
All is not lost, it's just been delayed.
Just delayed?
Unlikely.
The next time we can get our Touhou goods is either on Comiket or some of the smaller events.
No... No... NO!!!
Just give a thought that if any anime studio was wipe out by the Quake ... Worst case scenario, anime/manga artists were among the casualty ... I bet one or two series will be canceled.
I hope everyones ok whole thing is just a load of shit. Norihiro Yagi better still be amoung the living I already own claymore 1-17 I want an ending man!
dont loose hope now u never know when he is coming i hope you are all safe
Does this mean no Touhou 13??!
Nah, it takes longer than that to make - losing the event won't kill the game. There's still 2 Comikets a year.
Lousy catfish and bored celestial.
it's expected. still hopefully japan's okay
I can just picture Ishihara in a dark office, Gendou posing with an evil smirk on his face...
"Just as planned."
I seen the news. It's better to stay indoors now it's safer if you die now it won't be any more con for you. I hope that Big Sight is ok because it's like a symbol for otaku !
thank god touhou is overrated trash
I'm impressed you managed to string a sentence together, though punctuation clearly remains elusive.
Sorry, that was probably over your head, I'll rephrase:
Very good! You can almost write! Try adding a comma if you feel like getting fancy! *clap clap*
Of course, most kids learn to write their names pretty early and that's still beyond your grasp. Must have fallen off the slow bus...
yeah only trash is one of the most recognized thing on the internet and has the majority of the memes you use fuck wit
and nothing of value was lost :)
But but but my flood of Touhou doujin goods!
I didn't like Touhou b4 too, but now after I gave it chance its actually quite interesting. They all have funny hats :)
It's all about the headgear, isn't it.
