User blog:Maki Kuronami/RWBY going to Japan: Realization

This just hit my like a truck today while I was eating a banana. (Don't judge, I fucking love bananas)

With the fact that RWBY's growing in the japanese community, (The JP dub doesn't help matters) we're gonna start seeing bigger fan content from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Being a part of the Touhou* fanbase back then, when it became a big hit, a shitload of doujin content (read: Fanmade/Indie) popped out from the woodwork daily and is still doing so.

I mostly say this because in the latest RT podcast, Burnie and Gus started talking about potentially going to Comiket, which is pretty much the Comic Con of Japan, next year. (Comiket 86 just ended on the 15th) It's also filled to the brim with small time producers of fan content. That includes comics, musics and games.

Now, I've seen the variety of Touhou fangames for the past years, and there is a lot of genres covered. Highlights include a Castlevania-inspired one, tower defense one, and a shooter one based on Earth Defense Force.

I just wanted to get that out of my head, because I really wanna see what kinda doujin can Japan make for RWBY. Not even games. Fan content like this and this is fine with me. Also fan remixes of Red Like Roses would be awesome.

What do you think, everyone?

(*Touhou is a bullet hell shooter whose characters are more recognizeable than the games themselves. Also, it has god-tier music. It's all done by one guy, better known as ZUN. Gameplay sample here.)
