This was just amazing and was so worth the wait, I’m just gonna go through a few of my favorite parts. Love how Reimu’s voice and face pretty show she doesn’t care about any of this and also her sitting down is nice to see. The “Red Mist” being the Suicide Squidward creepypasta was an unexpected surprise (laughed probably when I shouldn’t have). Speaking of voices, everyone voice matches to their characters, especially Marisa’s and Cirno’s (which I pronounce as “Ker-no”). I also like how Koishi’s just vibin in the background and Suwako’s suffering from frostbite. Lastly I enjoyed that Daiyousai got some screen time and that Rumia went through and existential crisis.
