Wait a minute. this isnt a low effort shitpost video.

This was my gift to acerenastuff on tumblr, as part of the Touhou Secret Santa event held on there every year.

This is the longest animation/animatic i've ever made, and hopefully i can do more stuff like this and upload it here in the future
Dolls in Pseudo Paradise and Touhou Project created by Team Shanghai Alice
"The Wonderous Everyday Life of the Flying Shrine Maiden" from Dolls in Pseudo Paradise, composed by ZUN

And Then There Were One

[@Aedlmonrl]

Unfortunately none since they ain't even human no more...

[@ikhwananimationsbeyondweeb4528]

I got a vague recollection of the plot of DiPP, so it's really enthralling to understand parts that references the story such as how the honest men were killed My favourite of the story was when Jacket Girl said "In the end, aren't we all just Dolls in Pseudo Paradise?". Such a chilling way to reference the title. Bravo Zun for the story and Bravo Spear for this awesome animatic

[@taodivinity1556]

I don't remember that part...

[@turkia6148]

​@@taodivinity1556I'm pretty sure it's just a morbious-type meme, and because ZUN sometimes puts the title of the games within the game.

[@Tohorazen]

The drawing style feels a lot like the drawing in the old touhou games, i like it

[@Ataito2015]

I love the idea that the mysterious girl looks like Marisa and Toyohime, I'm very happy that they don't forget this CD album of Zun's story after so many years the fans still remember paradise.

[@magusnight]

And disc girl looks like a mix of Reimu and Yoshika

[@Guyatam]

The black girl is Jacket girl and the disc girl is Label girl

[@anonymuz796]

Don't ask Marisa about her mother.

[@Ayahuasca98]

Oftentimes it’s easier to forget about the grimmer stuff in 2hu lore I love this video

[@romantisanon4647]

*And right away, I stopped being human.*

[@gardenbandaid]

I love the desaturated palette and the textured brushes, plus your lineart is so pretty!! your art style is gorgeous overall. it looks like something out of a children's fairytale storybook (positive) and it suits the aesthetic of dolls in psuedo paradise perfectly. there's a lack of touhou animations out there, so I'm especially happy this exists. I hope you know how much of an amazing artist you are!!

[@user-no7it5sn8h]

これが私が見たかった蓬莱人形だ...!

[@Magolor2011]

She was the only girl of the 8 wise man…

[@Sparkfox-]

This art feels so nostalgic, especially when combined with one of my favorite CDs…thank you for making this!

[@turkia6148]

I truly love DiPP, I love both stories that ZUN made, I love how dark it is compared to every single other CD, and I specially love the music within it. Thank you for making this.

[@myre36]

Wow, these drawings are amazing! Dunno exactly how to describe it, but I really like the way you colored everything! Nicely done!

[@HarpowXtra]

Unironically one of the best touhou animations out there, nailed my favorite album bro

[@unjustified_individual]

i love this!! We need more content of the Dipp girls; i dont see a lot of them on youtube😢

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

Yea, imagine DIPP got fanmade anime adaptation in the future since we already have Hifuu Club fanmade anime

[@HikariFuyu]

I remember reading this quaint little story years ago, can't believe i'm alive to see someone make an animatic out of it. Thank you for your work!

[@Skullgod12]

[@user-cy6lh6cz9u]

これは素晴らしい！ 蓬莱人形の最高のアートワークの一つです！

[@devalous8281]

This is fantastic, everything about this is incredible and I’m glad DiPP is getting some attention, as it’s my favorite collection of music produced by ZUN. I love how well the animation fits with the music both in terms of syncing with the song, the art reflecting ZUN’s style, and how I imagine the story would look if it was illustrated and/or animated. I adore how you characterized the two characters on the CD jacket and the disk and how the animation portrays the deaths.

[@TheLugiaSong]

Oh my GOD DiPP animation?? This is perfect. You matched the feel of the album well.

[@gree491]

I'm absolutely in love with the watercolour style of this. DiPP fanworks too powerful

[@zombiekiller0023]

Love to see that DiPP is getting more recognition lately with fan works created for it.

[@twittertagbs]

That departing laugh seals this perfectly! ;D

[@Czechia-PhilippinesAlter-qp9fm]

Man, this is one of the best animations I've even seen in my entire lifetime

[@stellakoishi514]

DiPP animation--aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh---- amazing...(இωஇ )

[@spaghettiking7312]

This is art. Thank you for making it.

[@akako-tan]

this is awesome, friend

[@mustainekofhm4018]

A DiPP story video? You don't see that everyday... or ever. Love the artstyle and interpretation.

[@prizmastarz742]

this truly is, the dolls in pseudo paradise

[@gooeyPhantasm]

wow, this is really good! i forgot how much i loved DiPP until i saw this, and your style fits the story so well. thank you for sharing this

[@flanreisen]

DiPP MENTIONED I AM SUMMONED

[@santiagosalas7088]

This album has such a weird feel, its awesome to see an interpretation of it

[@doremy2300]

this makes me violent with how much i love DiPP. you did it SO much justice and it looks so good!!! can’t thank you enough for this amazing piece of art i stg

[@ieilaf]

YEAHHH LETS GO SPEAR WOOOOOOOo!!!!

[@TheSilly6403]

Love this, the artstyle and character designs are phenomenal!

[@KeenSaysGM]

It makes me immensely happy to see a DiPP post as lovely as this let alone in the current year 🥺

[@hyperhedgehog7]

the dipp content society deserves

[@LoveFor298Yen]

This is insane. Incredible art and directing.

[@le0w0r75]

Un día de Invierno así quedó escrito en el comentario de un Random en KZbin. Enero X: Por fin se estan tomando la existencia de Label Girl en las animaciones HandDrawn.

[@Flour-4]

Your style is so cool! Real comfy

[@Pixeles2d]

I LOVE THIS SM OMGGG, this is just beautiful, the draws are amazing and everything- i just love this sm because dipp is my favorite album ever and your talent is amazing

[@feztroutthetripledeluxefan]

I imagine their names are: Charlotte Pierrot (blondie) Ikami (shrine maiden)

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

There is a theory that said the shrine maiden is a Reimu ancestor since the "paradise" is a Gensokyo Also other theory said the killer was a "most coward" in one of the 8 honest men who tried to suicide but got reincarnated

[@feztroutthetripledeluxefan]

@@kuadralinkzero5197 Cousin of Reimu, perhaps? I also like to think that Ikami was one of the people who sealed Byakuren and her followers.

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

@@feztroutthetripledeluxefan I just assume she is previous Hakurei shrine maiden because ZUN said Reimu isn't the first (but nice theory from you) I also think DIPP happened during early 1900 or maybe 1890 when Gensokyo and Hakurei border still new

[@Guyatam]

Their actually names are: Label girl (shrine maiden) Jacket girl (Blonde)

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

@@Guyatam That isn't their name that just what fan call them because ZUN didn't give them actual name

[@TekNikEOSD]

i think about this every time i listen to this song. this is perfect, spear. keep working at your best

[@NeuTrumTheNest]

Thank you. This is what I actually wanted to see last years of my life.

[@Linterna2401]

At first there were 8. Now there is only 1 left

[@Witherstorm-gv6eq]

no, there was no one since the last one became fully youkai

[@15MinuteUpload]

In the morning, I could see a shrine maiden in red and white dancing above the lake. As the earliest riser among our group, I was long entranced by that otherworldly vigorous dance. Eventually, it began to rain, and by the time I came to my senses, the shrine maiden had disappeared...

[@koicc1192]
