A Mathematical Study of Touhou Character Correlation

Feb 18th

Posted by canon in Uncategorized

Well, I needed somewhere to put this, so spontaneous blog post it is. I ought to put something up in the 11 non-December months of the year.

After some discussion with Fang-tan, I became determined to hammer the hell out of Danbooru, to figure out some of the correlations between the characters in Gensokyo.

All of them.

Well, what I really wanted was to see what the most popular pairings in the Touhou fandom were, but I don’t think that’s strictly possible, at least not in an hour of programming. I have been able to figure out, however, what characters are correlated to each other, defined by ‘who appears in pictures with each other’. However, do note these -are not- mutually exclusive, i.e. not limited to only these two girls in a picture.

Yay, stats?

Raw popularity: (how many images each girl has)

Pairings (as defined above), most popular to least. The numbers are a bit flawed; as you can see, I am getting double results for pairings backwards, for some of them, and also, since the numbers were stored in a map by pairing count, if two pairing collides (i.e. with the same amount of images), only one will show up. Hopefully this will not be a huge issue, but keep in mind… (shown is the image count for the given girl plus the other girl)

And for each girl’s individual correlation, sorted by girl: (shown is the image count for the given girl plus the other girl)

Minorin’s Miracle Mission, Final Part

Aug 31st

“It’s called a miracle because it has a chance of happening … right?” (image source: kabocha)

Wait, perhaps that is the wrong girl. For today. But that thought still stands. For this final stand.

Bounded Field “Boundary of Life and Death”

This is, beyond anything, Minori Kushieda standing at the precipice between success and failure in the International Saimoe League; for those who she has fallen before, and those who she has triumphed over, none matter more than the one standing before her.

The Mission-E Mission, aka ‘How do I mine for subs’: A call to arms

Jul 29th

Hey, anyone else remember that one show from last summer, Code-E? Remember how good of a warm, slice-of-life show it was with a dash of romance on the side? How you cried for more after that ending that was just asking for continuation?

Well, no you didn’t, because nobody watched it. But it doesn’t matter because apparently people in Japan are awesome and actually did enjoy Code-E – or maybe some higher-up is flexing his muscle right now to get a sequel to a show two people in the world enjoy – because Code-E has a sequel.

It’s called Mission-E, and if you’re particularly adept right now in either detecting either sarcasm or reading the summer previews from a few weeks ago, you’ll notice that it’s been running for about a month now. And as you may glean from the title and the tone of this message, there’s been a distinct lack of, well, presence for Mission-E.

It was the same for Code-E, which was under-the-radar fun, but at least that show was completed by Subbers Anonymous, a group which has apparently dissolved before it could take on Mission-E.

And unfortunately for us that leaves us with one group on the roster to sub Mission-E, Hoshi no Yume, and while I won’t attack them for being a group I’ve never heard of before, I must admit to being annoyed at how they’ve been swept away by the sands of the internet. As in, uh, they haven’t done anything so far. Not cool.

So, like most disgruntled, desperate people, I came up with a plan straight from a sitcom or B-grade movie: if no one else wants to do it, take matters into your own hands.
