This may not be new to some of you, but I am really loving the latest Touhou video meme, which bases itself off of the original 8-bit theme for Stage 3 of "Lotus Land Story". The past Touhou memes have been so epic, like the UN Owen Was Her/McRoll'd one from 2007 and 2008, and the whole Cirno stuff (baka baka baka) last year, but I'm so impressed by what has come out of NicoNico Douga since November surrounding the "Bad Apple" song. Just blows me away.
