Mf did a literal movie, making a touhou version of “A Christmas Carol” with a rather unpopular character as the protagonist, for his dumbass RUclips Christmas video. Mad respect.
It's the guardian angel from "It's a Wonderful Life," I think, rather than Charles' Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." Same basic premise, but it's about showing a person how much good they bring instead of trying to get a bad person to change their ways.
What a beautiful Christmas special, shows us the tragic story of Seiran about how she wasn't having the greatest luck in Christmas, but as always, you shall always have a friend who is there for you with that being Ringo. This special is really something and it shows me that Seiran is an example of a tragic character. This Special was really something and I really enjoyed it. Thank you Compact for being part of the Touhou community. Also Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
One of the greatest films of all time, If only they kissed back there.. And it's also an reason why you shouldn't push everyone away, because there's always someone like Ringo who'd care about you deeply. I hope you all have a happy holidays and learn something from this RUclips film.
This is one of the christmas movie ever 🔥🔥 🔥 Joke aside this actually really good man wtf, I can actually relate to Seiran's dilemma and I like how you play with the Touhou's setting and included some of the modern ones, you've done a really great job!
You outdid yourself yet again! I can safely say it's my new favorite touhou video and you're my favorite touhou channel on youtube. The animation, the storyline, the message, the jokes, the way you interpreted these characters while staying close to canon (such as the plot being seiran's th19 route expanded upon ,which was one of my favorites) , I loved everything about it. I also really love how you give spotlight to the modern touhou characters. Seiran was an awesome protagonist!
Reimu probably ate the worker as well...The Chimatabucks is fitting and hilarious at the same time, but explaining how Seiren should own a store for Chimata's franchise like it was an ad got me cackling 😂
So, in introspect, my take on that is the Lunarians to the Gesokyans are like the Chinese to the Vietnamese. Love or hate, we still are neighbors and we exist. (ZUN did say something in an interview that he regarded the Lunarians similar to the Chinese in some ways.)
This is incredible. While the overall tone is wholesome, it has its own bit of cynicism and humor. I really lol at Remy's interpretation of Christmas. There is also nuance. The earth rabbits still despite the moon rabbits, but at least Seiran realizes she needs not to be loved by everyone, just by those who're important to her.
There are so many funny little things like the handprint on the mallet, the wicker man. Freaking hilarious Chimata, it's impossible to pick one thing to talk about. So I'm just going to say its all amazing. That's not even mentioning everything else and the whole plot
CYKiyP, I am outrages! I am here trying to bake a pie for Christmas, see that you released an hour-long Touhou version of It's a Wonderful Life. How ca I possibly cocentrate on makeing a pie crust when I'm being distracted by your amazing video every 30 seconds? Also, nice touch only having Sagume speak in the dream.
That Remilia party sequence is definitely a worthy party to go Party Crash on. Break in uninvited terminator style. Other than that this video is a great and heartwarming Christmas Special
TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT, a great Touhou Christmas special you totallly outdid yourself Compact, you actually made me like Seiran now and the plot went to some really wild and unexpected places specially with the final dream, kept me engaged the whole hour, it didn't even fetl that long haha. So glad i saved the video to see it exactly on christmas day. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US SUCH GREAT CONTENT AND MERRRY CHRISTMAS COMPACT YOUMU!!!! ps: hyped for the epilogue
Dang Doremi pull a full inception shit on Serian lmao. Man, I knew you were cooking something but I never thought it would be a full movie, and honestly, it was very touchy, a good change from the usual. great work, you outdone yourself, and merry christmas or whatever
dude, I knew this special was going to be long thanks to your community posts, but I definitely wasn't expecting a whole 1 hour long movie, congrats! but for real tho, are you fine? did you got some good sleep? you're feeling good? Also, a Merry Christmas for ya!
An absolute banger as always, shame some commenters cant comprehend the difference between platonic friendships and romance, but oh well- Merry Christmas.
Right, I'm going to be real with you. I just started to know Touhou back on like December so after the new years I begin to take up on your videos and boy was I entertained. But this, this one took the cake. Seeing from all your old stuff, it's got me the laughs and expecting this video would probably be the same. Never did I think would I actually tear up out of elation.. in new years. Just astounding, I'll always be lurking around your videos, appreciating them. Cheers.
Damm, that is a lot of seiran bully. We don't get a lot of lore for her after TH15 and even in TH19 but I would like to think she A) lives at/near the moriya shrine B) has some friends on the mountain.
This was amazing, I'm glad I was recommended this masterpiece of a story and thank you for creating it. Everything about this was fantastic, from the story, to the message, the jokes, and animation. I'm going to check out more videos by you and I can't wait for the epilogue.
This story has a lesson i learned, my lesson is when the world hates you don't forget to remember that whos on your side or that still loves Btw merry christmas! One question, is this canon Seiran that she's on Eagle Ravi unit? My favorite funny parts are= 32:11 when someone touches her tail 33:57 when Doremy said Seiran must get a boyfriend XD 52:17 when Seiran is jealous that Ringo can get a boyfriend XD
"Oh, I read your mind." Said so casually by Ringo is so funny and a nice nod to Moon Rabbit ESP. Makes you realize that Moon Rabbits are basically Terran Ghosts.
Absolutely blew me away with how good this special turned out to be! An excellent twist on an old Christmas Tale. Thank you very much. Also seeing Junko and Chimata were just what I needed. ❤
This is INCREDIBE work! You not only made an impressive story and made something exceptionally long, but the breadth of emotions in this is vast coming across as a real dramatic story while managing to still have it be happy and humorous enough. You deserve some sort of special reward.
I kept seeing this pop up for me to watch, and I didn't think id get into it. But I'm happy to say I was wrong!! The story was wonderfully natural and went along really well! The pacing was quick enough to keep things going, but slow enough to properly understand everything that was going on. Lovely. All the characters were portrayed in completely believable ways too (while I don't really mind different head canons personally, I'm here for the fun characters of course). Very good writing!! Great work! The passion you put into these projects shows! Also, The part where Saggyway shoots Seiran should have the "dear sister" music over it. Lmao
Absolutely incredible 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 I love this. I'm a bit of an antisocial type myself, so it hit a little close to home. Thanks for the awesome content as always, you rock.
Mf did a literal movie, making a touhou version of “A Christmas Carol” with a rather unpopular character as the protagonist, for his dumbass RUclips Christmas video. Mad respect.
Doremy already is in the Christmas spirit with the hat.
Honestly, Compact Youmu Konpaku in your Pocket RUclips is probably the best RUclips Touhou content creator on the platform.
Thats what im sayin!!
i agree they are severely underrated
From shitposts to movies. I didn't expect this to actually be that serious and emotional, great work!
genuinely made me cry multiple times
Doremy being all the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come is cool
It's the guardian angel from "It's a Wonderful Life," I think, rather than Charles' Dickens's "A Christmas Carol."
Same basic premise, but it's about showing a person how much good they bring instead of trying to get a bad person to change their ways.
Peak storytelling ✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Careful sir! Your hand is burning.
What a beautiful Christmas special, shows us the tragic story of Seiran about how she wasn't having the greatest luck in Christmas, but as always, you shall always have a friend who is there for you with that being Ringo. This special is really something and it shows me that Seiran is an example of a tragic character. This Special was really something and I really enjoyed it. Thank you Compact for being part of the Touhou community. Also Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Compact does such an amazing job of mixing drama and comedy. There's been more new art, too.
Congratulations on the amazing video, Compact.
Well this is not a video it's a movie
One of the greatest films of all time, If only they kissed back there.. And it's also an reason why you shouldn't push everyone away, because there's always someone like Ringo who'd care about you deeply. I hope you all have a happy holidays and learn something from this RUclips film.
Bro really went "nah, id make a movie." Respect
I absolutely LOVE Chimata's voice!
Also "Chimatamas". Fantastic.
Oh my this is now my favorite Christmas special from all times. Going to share this with some friends
Ya read my mind
15:45 she still has Futo's hat 💀💀💀💀
Touhou version of It’s A Wonderful Life, so it’s automatically super good
32:08 lmao doremy always having to deal with "those type" of dreams
The Sexual Frustration part got me by suprise.
33:56 💀💀💀
Somehow, Doremy dealing with that has just never crossed my mind. I have a newfound respect for the Dream Queen
I hope she finds that boyfriend.
Her choosen doujin mc will arrive soon
I cried man… Such character developments
This is one of the christmas movie ever 🔥🔥 🔥
Joke aside this actually really good man wtf, I can actually relate to Seiran's dilemma and I like how you play with the Touhou's setting and included some of the modern ones, you've done a really great job!
Damn this shit has better writing than 100 million dollar budget movies
It do
You outdid yourself yet again! I can safely say it's my new favorite touhou video and you're my favorite touhou channel on youtube. The animation, the storyline, the message, the jokes, the way you interpreted these characters while staying close to canon (such as the plot being seiran's th19 route expanded upon ,which was one of my favorites) , I loved everything about it.
I also really love how you give spotlight to the modern touhou characters. Seiran was an awesome protagonist!
Seiren and Ringo are the only lunarians i can respect!
And maybe Reisen.
Reimu probably ate the worker as well...The Chimatabucks is fitting and hilarious at the same time, but explaining how Seiren should own a store for Chimata's franchise like it was an ad got me cackling 😂
"Marisa has to pee really badly 2" when
Nah the sequel is
"Marisa has to poo really badly"
why does that even need a sequel 😭
Or
"Kasen competes with Nadia in Washzone"
Petition to have a “Marisa really needs to pee 2”
Don't just expose your fetish, people!
So, in introspect, my take on that is the Lunarians to the Gesokyans are like the Chinese to the Vietnamese. Love or hate, we still are neighbors and we exist.
(ZUN did say something in an interview that he regarded the Lunarians similar to the Chinese in some ways.)
Me and my buddies jokingly call the Lunarians basically space elves. Long lives, looks down on humans and others and really powerful?
They’re elves.
42:00
classic Junko.
This is incredible. While the overall tone is wholesome, it has its own bit of cynicism and humor. I really lol at Remy's interpretation of Christmas. There is also nuance. The earth rabbits still despite the moon rabbits, but at least Seiran realizes she needs not to be loved by everyone, just by those who're important to her.
Every frame is a masterpiece
This goes in my top 3 MUST WATCH DURING CHRISTMAS list. And holy hell its a whole ass movie! You're amazing!
There are so many funny little things like the handprint on the mallet, the wicker man. Freaking hilarious Chimata, it's impossible to pick one thing to talk about. So I'm just going to say its all amazing. That's not even mentioning everything else and the whole plot

Omg so someone else noticed the Sagume part too
This is my favorite series I’m so excited!
That Remilia party sequence is definitely a worthy party to go Party Crash on. Break in uninvited terminator style.
Other than that this video is a great and heartwarming Christmas Special
What a treat! An hour long Christmas special!!
Such a heartwarming story with a beautiful message.
Very heartwarming, Not all moonies are bad moonies
TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT, a great Touhou Christmas special you totallly outdid yourself Compact, you actually made me like Seiran now and the plot went to some really wild and unexpected places specially with the final dream, kept me engaged the whole hour, it didn't even fetl that long haha.

great work, you outdone yourself, and merry christmas or whatever
Simply amazing. Can't believe you did a mini movie for Christmas about lunarians. But damn was it good can't wait for the following episode/next one
You gave the USA fairy a British accent and this disturbs me to no end.
Holy moly 54 minutes of 2hoo let's go.
Why does Ringo have such huge assets
Don’t worry about it
eating all those dangos did some work
Oh my God ONE HOUR LONG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS
dude, I knew this special was going to be long thanks to your community posts, but I definitely wasn't expecting a whole 1 hour long movie, congrats!
but for real tho, are you fine? did you got some good sleep? you're feeling good?
Also, a Merry Christmas for ya!
Beautiful
We have to sacrifice Seiran so Compact Youmu could add Mima in his new video
La navidad de los conejos lunares que seguramente se divertirán o ocurrirán cosas Xd
En efecto está "película" es cine
Y felices navidad a todos 🎄
Feliz navidad 🎄🎄
holy shit, this is a prodigy
Damn, an hour long video. I’m gonna enjoy this for sure.
An absolute banger as always, shame some commenters cant comprehend the difference between platonic friendships and romance, but oh well- Merry Christmas.

Why is this actually making me feel feels? This was really touching even though I know it’s a retelling of A Wonderful Life.
This was from the heart, I can feel it. Merry Christmas!
Unexpected but fun movie!
What i should do if i feel so badly identified with Seiran?
gracias por los subtítulos en español, las historia es muy profunda hermosa y tampoco se siente fuera del canon
You made my day, thanks
Video of the year 🔥🔥🔥
“it makes me all tingle in my dingle.” Bro wut dah hail . _ .
Wow, I did not think I would watch the whole thing, but I did. Nice
Loved this
13:36 I love celebrating Jamatamus
Merry Christmas 🎄❤
Damm, that is a lot of seiran bully. We don't get a lot of lore for her after TH15 and even in TH19 but I would like to think she A) lives at/near the moriya shrine B) has some friends on the mountain.
Bro this is crazy, you put hours into making this hour long video, and then a follow up video. Now, that's what I call dedication.
i watched the entire thing and i can definitely say we need more!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this great animation. I didn't knew a lot about Ringo and Seiran and now I want to discover more about them.
This was amazing, I'm glad I was recommended this masterpiece of a story and thank you for creating it. Everything about this was fantastic, from the story, to the message, the jokes, and animation. I'm going to check out more videos by you and I can't wait for the epilogue.

Btw merry christmas!
One question, is this canon Seiran that she's on Eagle Ravi unit?

This is a Moment in History
OMG the D.W. voice on Tewi is hilarious.
We are so lucky that this dude in Touhou community, great job man
I quite enjoyed this.
What the hell
Why is the story so well made. Literally better than any movies i saw this year
I like the artstyle as well
This video made me late for school, but it's totally worth it
Pensaba que este especial de navidad solo era para los de patreon 😮 estoy alegre
Absolute peak cinema
Nice work man
I like Ringo being a jolly fella in this video 😁
Happy holidays
54 MINUTES OF YOUMU KONPAKU CONTENT. Hell yeah! Maybe I should give you a gift... if I wasn't poor from giving gifts to my friends.
Absolutely blew me away with how good this special turned out to be!
An excellent twist on an old Christmas Tale.
Thank you very much.
Also seeing Junko and Chimata were just what I needed. ❤
this is the best piece of film i ever found
'and i dont recall asking your opinion'
Had another injury from a seiure last night. This was the perfect thing to watch while recovering!
I also really like your portrayal of Doremy Sweet!
You spoil us with this special
_Yuugi, I am going to the Scarlet Christmas Party and require your strongest sake_
Nobody actually says "in any case" as much as you think they do
edit: props for making a really long video tho, and for the eventual epilogue
What a good _Christmas carol_ movie
Why are your videos so entertaining
A whole hour goddamn!
I loved this
KKHTA flashbacks.

Absolutely incredible 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I love this. I'm a bit of an antisocial type myself, so it hit a little close to home. Thanks for the awesome content as always, you rock.
So good story
Perfection.
I can't belive you made the earth rabbits say the m**nies slur.
This was indeed, *A Gensokyo Carol*
Feliz natal
Better call Hecatia
mad lad is doing god damn mad animations, ALMOST HOUR LONG TOUHOU ANIMATION?!?!? god damn
Goodness Chimata is so hilarious
