I attend the Touhou Photoshoot: FanimeCon 2022

Posted by

So I happened to decide to drop by, at McEnery Convention Center, Saturday, no con tickets in hand. Did not even know that all the photoshoots took place at publicly-accessible areas, following a set schedule. The range of con experiences that await was narrow to start with, and it was time to make the most it.

(The time happened to be 3pm, when the Touhou photoshoot was to take place in an alleyway to the west of the main plaza, .)

The 2hus’ first assembly
Now as the fumos’ backdrop

As is standard procedure in photoshoots, we went by game, and then by request (of course, there’s no guarantee that every 2hu necessary is present).

Consider the precious thing stolen
The SDM crew has arrived for the feast

The coordinator of the photoshoot remembers they actually have photo-op duties. Too much impersonation?
Do not cross the denizens of Youkai Mountain
“This is the strongest photoshoot”
Girls are now praying
Cherish the moment, for without it there is no eternity. N-Not because I’m with you, baka…!
Asobo?
Unforgivable, stealing this many books
“Guys, there’s plenty of me to go around”
Closing assembly
<- To be continued
The real T is the pose we make along the way
OwO?

I can say beyond a doubt, the first thought that crossed everyone’s mind when they saw the crawling tortoise was, “is it real?” I don’t care. It was real enough for me. Unfortunately, there was no Reimu around to pose with it.

Genji jokes aside, the real kicker was that this was a completely impromptu appearance. The owner himself didn’t even seem to know what Touhou is…
