I think there have been a few reupload channels but a lot are probably just gone now.
Yeah, I think it started with PCB TH7 and lasted all the way to 15. Honestly, maybe it's because the first time I played TH (EoSD) I used Marisa, but I've always been partial to the straightforward shot types since the homing bullets are usually visibly weaker and can home into enemies/objects you don't want them to home into. Sakuya A in DDC is a noticeable exception.
lol yeah she's cool but I just find her a little bratty. Apparently her route is the final canon route so she gets away with everything and beats everyone up.
Now this is just ridiculous to me. Fire of Hokkai is atmospheric sure and is on beat with the enemies on the screen but it's not a track I'd listen to outside of the game at all. Meanwhile, Emotional Skyscraper is one of my favorite TH tracks ever and it's such a well composed piece. It's also the theme that the credits use.
Now that you mention it, stage 5 themes in general seem to be like this barring a few exceptions. TH15, 16 and 17 all tend to have much better and received stage themes than their respective boss themes. You can tell that more effort is put into the stage 5 themes too due to how long they are compared to the other tracks.
I've seen a number of people share this sentiment but I honestly can't imagine how hard it'd be to play the game with an analog stick. It's hard enough with the precise small movements of a keyboard.
I think it would be pretty easy actually, holding a shoulder button for the minute movements would feel ok. Ikaruga and so on worked for me just fine too.
