Maikaze Touhou Anime Seiyuu list?!
Wait, what? Touhou anime? This was completely unknown to me till it came up in a channel on IRC I will not name, but I will link to our fabulous member rk who told us about it while we frenzied on 2chan to find the names.
Maikaze "Touhou Anime Project; Musou Kakyou" (舞風「東方アニメプロジェクト・夢想夏郷」), is the title, and Musou Kakyou roughly translates to Visionary Summer District. It's gonna be on sale at Comiket 75, apparently with soundtracks, high-quality prints and postcard sets coming with it's limited edition, price will tentatively be 2800 yen during the event. Also, there's going to be the ability to get a reproduced script that's been signed by the awesome seiyuu list. The doujin group will be located at West hall 2, on day 2 (12/29), section あ (hiragana A) block 41A.
The list is as follows:
Hakurei Reimu: Nakahara Mai
Kirisame Marisa: Sawashiro Miyuki
Shameimaru Aya: Fujimura Ayumi
Patchouli Knowledge: Takahashi Mikako
Izayoi Sakuya: Tanaka Rie
Remilia Scarlet: Tsuji Ayumi
Ibuki Suika: Toyosaki Aki
Narration: Inoue Kikuko
I'm so excited if this shit is happening, since holy shit this cast list is insane. I'm not too happy about Reimu, but jesus christ Suika, Remi, Sakuya, Patchouli, Aya, all of them! GENIUS!

The website is unreachable right now. This got me completely by surprise. Man, that cast list? WTF?
Good for Suika, but I want to see Yuyuko and Yukari too.

A Touhou anime?! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- The end times are upon us!
Hopefully it won’t be as as shit as the last Touhou anime that totally doesn’t exist.

THIS. IS. EPIC.
>< If I could, I’d camp out there right nao.

Sakuya seems to be cast PERFECTLY. (Maria + Suigintou = Sakuya)
I am anticipating.

Very nice cover artwork for that dvd. :]

This makes me happier than probably anything on earth.
But the trailer looks like crap though :(

Apparently, ZUN doesn’t seem too happy with this.
The comments on his blog seemed that way.

Well, well. What happened to my perfect Touhou anime? :/
I was expecting a tsunderekko-typed voice for Remilia at least, and I think either Kugimiya Rie or Fujimura Ayumi would be more suited for that, while Minorin would be better off as Patchouli.
But I love the rest of the cast list, though.
Animation is top-notch but character design and drawings seem to be pulling it down.

I watched the anime doujin and the animation was strictly amateur. I was rather dissapointed. I had hoped at least on the level of quality as Haruhi Suzumiya, or Kannagi, or maybe toradora.
There are other anime with japanese youkai like Rosario to Vampire which have better animation.

You can’t be serious? You expect Haruhi/Kannagi quality from a group of fans? This was *not* a professional production.

Oh my god. asdjknfjkaljhnflf
I want. ._.

I guess should have been more clear. I meant that i did not like the change in character design from the trailer to the finished product.
Obviously if they can afford Japanese voice actresses that are big names, they will confuse some people.
Also There are doujins done all the time by professional manga writers and artists. and many got their start in doujins.
As for doujin anime i am not sure how much of that happens with animators or writers that are professionals.
This anime had a nice painterly look to it, and the backgrounds were gorgeous.
I’m glad its not hentai, or fanservice in your face crap and tries to tell a story. Those who don’t play the shooting games can enjoy the story itself.
Thats why the creator of the games being against a touhou official production is dumb.

Sweet! Nakahara Mai’s in it! That’s a good enough reason to watch this doujin (I just loved it when she played Rena Ryuugu and Nagisa Furukawa).
Now, when you see Ran Yakumo (or someone else from Touhou) somewhere on the net, you can say she’s from an anime as well :P
Now I just have to watch it! xD

…If I’m not mistaken, this is the very reason ZUN does not want a proper Touhou anime. He doesn’t want people to go “hey, that character’s from that one anime”; he wants people to go “hey, that character’s from that one game”.
