I see, thats probably why i feel dumb all the time haha. I used to read a good amount, you may be convincing me to get back into it. Are you a christian as well? Most of the biblical ones I have read already too. also how are you reading like 7 books at once, jeez

Oh wait ive heard your music before, i love your gensokyo millenium cover and the luna dial one you did!

A strange question, but a question I became suddenly curious about. A lot of times with other large fandoms I see large video essays dedicated to examining parts of their fandom consistently, yet in touhou fandom in the west, that area seems to be lacking. I don't believe I am entirely qualified to fill that role, and it could always be because we simply lack fans in the west, but as far as I know there are as many as around 100k-200k. I was reading a study on why people struggle to write essays in general, and it stated that one of the bigger reasons is that people read actual books less nowadays. We lack finding things to give us strong opinions, and have difficulty with sentence structure. This leads back to my question, as I'm curious to see if it holds any water. How many here read books? (not counting manga or comics)

step one run th_dnh in locale emulator (if not ran in locale emulator it may not work properly) step two let the danmakufu menu hurt your overly sensitive feeling with its overly sensitive main menu and select directory. an option labeled "something in japanese ~ concealed the conclusion" should be at the bottom of the list. step three select your shot type. this will determine the route of the game you go, and cannot be changed after concealed the conclusion is opened. by this point the game should be working.

I feel like touhou 9 is either gonna be about celestials, or it will wind up introducing another religion. the past 2 games have both expanded on things already present within the touhou world (17 being hell, 18 being the tengu) and so i believe that we will get more on either celestials or maybe even netherworld stuff... sanae will not be playable and will instead be reimu, marisa, youmu and reisen.

my personal list touhou hrtp- eternal shrine maiden. im not too fond of the pc98 games, but zun definitly had his magic touch back then as there are still some excellent tracks in these touhou soew- complete darkness. i dont know of many tracks specifically from this game (asides from theme of eastern story) but mimas theme in this feels intense, and very well made. honorable mention is love colored magic touhou podd- reincarnation. speaking of mimas theme, another classic pc98 track. im not too familiar with podd ost, but reincarnation is probably the pc98 track i come back to the most. touhou lls- sleeping terror. honestly a really hard pick, this one has a lot of really good tracks, but i decided on sleeping terror. its the track i think of first when i think of yuuka, and this game as well. feels like a final boss them despite not, zun probably made both this and inanimate dream and wanted to use both. touhou ms- legendary illusion~infinite being. man, who couldve seen this coming lol. another hard pick, as this ost also has a lot of really good tracks, but i have a bit of a bias towards this one. it was one of the track that introduced me to touhou, and is one of the only other pc98 tracks i keep going back to. it feels almost like some of the later final boss themes in the series, going for a more cinematic and climactic approaches. honorable mention to romantic children. i will come back tomorrow and tackle the next few games.

honestly yea. one of the biggest reasons i didnt like gouyuoku ibun that much was because it didnt try to include any of the new characters (only 3 characters between 15-17) and the ones that it did include didnt really get all that much added to them. one of the most entertaining things i found about the old omake texts were that they always included interesting tidbits about characters, what they usually did in their free time and such. later omake texts dont usually include those, making them much shorter and usually only including things that arent all that interesting. i believe that has probably contributed to the later characters being much less popular. PLS ZUN MORE CHARACTERIZATION PLS

they have just had so much time to develop and have been around for so long. not to mention a lot of the older character imo have cooler abilities and stories behind them. not that the newer ones are bad, as there are still a lot of new characters i like, but they dont have the same mystery and such that the characters from 6 to 9 had, moreso in the others than 6.

i am

i love that series, the fights were so good and i wish it continued. i like how they didnt make her win every single fight she did either, power level differences were believable.

just glad to see koggers still so high up. also your top ten is based and i agree with a majority of those character picks

got it, thank you.

most notably in rpg/srpg sections. when i click download it tells me my connection isnt secure and prevents me from downloading. am i doing something wrong?

i dont really have a favorite but the first one to come to mind was james sunderland of silent hill 2. I love flawed and human feeling characters, even if it might be to the point that they are a villain. gael is also a very cool character, i love how despite being basically a nobody he outlived everyone else and was the last battle of dark souls. i like every single touhou project character

i dont trust the website, personally more of a yuki fan myself

and here i thought i was gonna be playing the shit out of all the touhou fire emblems when my computer got fixed next week. at least i still got fantasy maiden wars to finish, but i am absolutely going to play that rom hack when its done. i love fire emblem and touhou is my favorite thing ever, they should be able to work together

Wow this was a really big study, well done! I havent read the whole thing yet, but im surprised that there isnt actually that much r 18 art of touhou and vocaloid especially compared to toher things on pixiv. I hope to be able to type something up like this one day too, thanks for helping keep the fandom alive count

I believe that a majority of touhous success came not just from the leniency to fanworks, but to the lack that touhou has. like you said earlier, the world and its characters are not the most interesting when compared to a lot of other things. One thing that i have to point out, however, is that there was a lot of potential to the world and characters. there is a lot of interesting things to say about them, but the games have never put the most effort into showing any of this. fans saw this, and it made them want to fill in these gaps that they had. not to mention that the character designs are great, and the music is phenominal, especially giving each character a unique theme, and so it made them more memorable. of course, all that was simply a flicker to the flame, the creative freedom and such fueled it into a wildfire that is now called touhou project.

yes In actuality id say that they arent horrible, being probably one of the more creative fanbases. just from sheer overwhelming content they have made, with the only other things coming close imo being large franchises like star wars and such. they are all really hardworking and a vast amount of projects they have started, they usually complete. i only dont like a lot of the recent touhou stuff, like the fumo obsession. that kinda needs to stop.

half life 1 is better in the mod, sven coop. you can play through the game with friends (or me 0v0) i tried armored core, but heavily disliked the fact that combat wasnt really all that skill based, and found the game very grindy, and without a great story, i found myself bored. another game, was Nioh 1. it was a good game, but felt like enemies did too much damage in fights. couldnt get that far.
