Heartful Necromancer (English, 1.1)

Heartful Necromancer from Mesopota's 「東方轟流殿 -とうほうごうるでん-」 "Touhou Golden" disc, released at Comket 76. (Go buy it! *poke*)
Feel free to suggest translation changes. The words to this one are strange, heh... I will get around to an update eventually...
* The original title is ハートフルネコロマンサー, or "Heartful Nekoromancer" as some pointed out. It's a pun because neko is Japanese for cat. This, however, is a translation, and if you don't speak Japanese at least at a Japanophile level, you won't know what a "nekoromancer" is...
Thanks to BlueGraphics for the original!

[So I'm having trouble getting the source files to revise this - you can find a slightly more accurate version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmoAuWfCXU , without the fancy subtitles.]

Touhou + Thriller + Angry WoW Kid = Awesome!

It's a pun, but it's one that doesn't work in English, so if I said "Heartful Catromancer" people would just be confused.

@TheShadoek If you check the Touhou wiki, Rin is actually a kasha. This explains her habit of taking corpses to hell. ZUN adapts a lot though - as with Utsuho - so while kasha are somewhat catlike, Rin appears as a nekomata, and could also be tied to other mythologies.

It's not a JS reference though - there are a lot of puns in Touhou, and one of them is that she pushes a "nekoguruma," or "cat cart."

[TheShadoek]

@dojomojomofo I mean, is a direct reference to the anime J.S. featuring Wanyuudou, Enma Ai's burning rickshaw, not a reference to the Wanyuudou folcklore itself.

Orin is a Nekomata, a Bakeneko that arrive to the 50 years old and get his tail bificated, the Nekomata deplove magical powers, specially in the necromancy area, and can use the bodies as puppets, also, a Nekomata can change his form into a humanoid one.

[dojomojomofo]

@TheShadoek Wanyūdō was folklore long before there was anime too. Rin's kind of a mix of bakeneko, kasha (which steal uncremated dead and take them to hell), and maybe wanyūdō, which have the body of a flaming wheel and steal souls.

@lightJason1 Actually is a reference to the anime Jigoku Shoujo, Wanyuudou or the burning wheel demon.
