What attracts people to this game series exactly?
As it should be!
>no proof
>according to google
it's Undertale except it's original
>Japan's favorite media franchise ever
are you sure it's not sanrio hello kitty?
The music is what got me through the door. The unique concepts (growing fossils, beast spirit mafia, god of cripples) is what got me to stay.
They're cool games. And with tons of fangames.

can you get into Touhou if youre not that fond of bullet hell shooters? Where would you start? seems convoluted as hell last time I looked into it
I like the clothes.
cute and funny characters
Finally somebody who gets it.

They all wear cute hats and that's great.
The series has always straddled the gray line of having "set" design and lore and personalities, but with just enough vaguery that any given faggot can run with their own interpretation of it.
Anyone who's even slightly into that fanwankery can really sink their teeth into it. It's literally the only reason type-moon got to where it is today - if people hadn't been so enthralled with the unknowns in it to the point of melty blood becoming a thing, they wouldn't even have made it to fate.

touhou in a museum!
If you like fighting games, you can play those. There's also manga and stories if you want to be a filthy secondary. If you want to read the print works check the wiki, if you want the games just google the english patched versions. The canon games start at 6, integer-numbered games (besides 9) are straightforward shmups while decimal games are either fighting games or gimmick shmups.
Also there's this guide if you wanna be extra autistic about the chronological order of things (it really doesn't matter)
I think you might be retarded.
I can tell because you literally seem to think Splatoon is more popular than Doraemon.
That's it, only thing that i forgot was Anpanman & Hunter x Hunter being above AoT but below Final Fantasy
>Dragon Quest above Final Fantasy
Just the way it should be
Forbidden Scrollery would be easy to enjoy standalone I think.
Cope, Red is Splatoon, Yellow is Doraemon, Purple is Love Live, Blue is Touhou
What's North America's?
Pokemon
Really makes me think.
No one fucking searches Kidou senshi gandamu.
Okay now I know you're a fool.
undertale is way more original than touhou.
EOP fuck off
>all those billion dollar franchises losing to work of some guy between his working sessions
ayy lmao
I unironically got attracted by the gameplay. I saw some videos on youtube of people perfecting without bombs or deaths entire games and remained fascinated.
Doramoen literally has a slight edge on Splatoon, It's objectively more popular.
>piss filter
Jesus fucking christ
I can't fap to any of the Touhou girls. I just like them as characters.
Nitori doesn't count.
I like it when they don't have clothes.
Gundam is basically the Star Wars of Japan, whereas Touhou is the Harry Potter
are you going in for the lore? a character/group of characters in particular or just want to see what the fuzz is about?
either way give it a go at the games, sixth one EosD is a common starting point for many
I love Sakuya!
Belongs in the trash
> Smashtrannies still seething
The mangas are great but sometimes they tie to in-game events so you will probably have a hard time understanding what's going on
If you want a story with a real plot, read Silent Sinner in Blue
If you want comfy episodic slice of life, read the others
I am fully aware of the status of Gundam in Japan. And the status of Touhou, it is most certainly nothing like Harry Potter. Harry Potter is the Harry Potter of Japan. If you have the right kind of glasses and share even a single physical characteristic with Daniel Radcliffe you will get called Harry Potter repeatedly.

You're not understanding this.
Toby Fox looks up to ZUN (Touhou's creator) and tried to emulate his success.
ZUN is the original Toby Fox.
It's a loop of fan content creating more fans that create content.
It even got in the Guinness Book of World Records once as the highest annual revenue in fan made independently published media for any game franchise, or some other title like that.
There is no rule stating that the fake can't surpass the original!

Just do it man. Every man that truly loves his wife will tolerate an annoying mother in law. I'll be cheering for you m8.
That's not very nice!
Why isn't Suwako grouped with the rest of the old hags?
Because she's a lolibaba instead of a big tit hag and artists are retarded. She's one of the few 2hus that have canonically taken dick and procreated but that's still not enough
>drinking at the Moriya shrine
>Suwako starts asking why Sanae doesnt have a bf yet because she wants to see the next generation of Shrine Maidens

Who could even be her BF anyway? Some no-name rando from the human village?
How do they determine this?
I mean, I like Touhou, too, but I figure most Japs over 40 don't care about it, most women don't care about it, and anyone who's cool doesn't care about it.
Sanae being a goddess she can get a kid by snapping her fingers or something
>hurr anything that happens inside a cave is a ripoff
How do "most search results on google" translate to "Japan's most beloved media franchise"? That's a huge correlation to make.

Where's boatshit? Did this garbage get cannibalized by other gachatrash?
Because yurifags are mentally ill.
For me it was the OST to Ten Desires, then the games itself, then the SOUL.
Kadokawa is extremely incompetent. They had not one but TWO golden geese (boatsluts and KF) and fucked it up with both

I know discord gets a lot of shit here but there's currently a Touhou discord server that's in the process of summarizing all of Touhou lore. It's incomplete atm but they go into a lot more depth than the wiki.

Okay, out of 17 games they changed the formula up twice. Wow. Besides the retro games, the ONLY differences are powerups. So fuck you you lying sack of shit. Calling touhou original at this point is DISHONEST. Toby fox IS original and every single one of his games are pure kino and CREATIVE.

That's right. Don't even bother defending your autism festival. My post is inflammatory but it's also correct. Calling touhou original and actually believing it is pure delusion. The delusion of a weeaboo who wishes he was a japanese girl so he can get fucked in all his holes. Burn in hell degenerate.

It's more a case of Touhou being at exactly the right place at the exactly the right time.
Touhou became the catalyst for the doujin explosion in Japan. It was a fun game with cute girls and good music, but most importantly ZUN allowed people to use his creation basically however they wanted.
Touhou took on a life of its own seperate from its creator, and that is how it became so huge.

2hu crossover art is degenerate
Is Yukari secretly evil?
Damn. That's adorable.
And Vocaloid
>secretly
There is no need to. The fact that they're humanized IRL warships is retarded enough, and that's not even touching the pathetic harem fantasy
That's implying she attempts to hide it.
Thoughts on this?

you can't improve perfection
No.
She's just evil.
Azura Lane is shit and boatsluts was infamous for hiring off 2hu fanartists and locking them in shit contracts early on.
Literally just waifu garbage with little substance
Hatsune Miku is cute and theres nice songs but thats it
The characters look kinda soulless but it seems thats intentional
Don't listen to the other anons, she's good and just.
>even touching the pathetic harem fantasy
>triggered by non-feminist harems
Lad, there's no cumpulsory harem in the game. Most doujins are vanilla stuff between the commander and one of his boats. Don't know where you're getting this from.

what is yukari's connection to maribel
Even older if they can drink sake.
2hu has best old hags.
>Dragon Ball still that high after all these years
you mean the dragon ball that gets new games released every year, had a movie last year a complete 150+ episode anime and is getting it continued soon?
I believe Maribel created Yukari through her idolization, and Yukari inspired Maribel by leaving just enough trace of herself in the real world's past for her to be replicated. Some people believe Yukari is Maribel's dream self and visa versa. Others people think Maribel became Yukari after crossing a boundary.
>Nanoha still up there
glorious
Remilia is my favorite old hag
It could have been way, way bigger. They had struck gold.
They botched up the anime
Never did anything meaningful with the navigator app
Let chinese ripoff take a a share of the market for not moving fast enough
The fact that it's still 2nd on Comiket popularity is just a consolation prize. FGO may be a soulless husk of what Fate once was, but they did it right. If you're going to monetize waifus, you go ALL the way.
Not a 2hufag

>I believe Maribel created Yukari through her idolization
Doubtful, considering how far into the future Maribel exists.
You also forgot the "she's Yukari's child" theory.
Ultimately, though, considering their namesake, Maribel somehow becoming Yukari (and then time traveling somehow?) makes the most sense.
>The entire point of HM is that politicians are assholes and manipulating people emotionally to get them to join your political party is wrong.

every time siivagunner starts a retarded arc in the videos I just stop watching them
I wanted cool remixes and rips of songs in different soundfronts, not listening to that fucking d.va cosplayer fart
I'm intrigued, share examples.
Fluffy soft girls are waiting warmly
Yukari is one of the youkai sages who basically run Gensokyo behind the curtains. Specifically, her job seems to primarily consist of
>Guiding and training the Hakurei shrine maiden.
>Keeping an eye on the humans to insure there's no dissent.
>Kidnapping humans that won't be missed from the outside world to feed the youkai of Gensokyo.
Also, canonically nobody loves Gensokyo more than she does.
So you're telling me that if I ever get isekai'd to Gensokyo it means that I'm about to be murdered?
All of them! They're all big dumb beautiful angels!
Doesn't some magical law prevent youkai from eating humans?
Unless you manage to reach the village or the Hakurei shrine, Quite possibly
basically yes
we don't know what exactly happens when someone is spirited away, but unless you manage to escape from yukari and make it to a safe area you're probably fucked
You can't eat the human villagers because their faith in youkai existence is what keeps the whole system running so if they go down then so does Gensokyo. You don't get high off your own supply. Outside world humans are fair game.
Doesn't necessarily apply to outsiders and/or people outside the village.
That only applies to natives and is upheld by a lazy shrine maiden
Most likely yes.
Only humans from the village, outsiders are fair game.
>see: the original story of DiPP
masochism
You're forgetting the part where Gensokyo is practically a pocket dimension of her own creation.
I would not take the lateness of Maribel's existence with any weight, for we know Yukari could be pulling strings in the modern world as well. Consider the prevalence of lovecraftian horror fiction, it's monsters are practically designed for surviving the dispelling rigors of thought in an age of reason.

Whats the appropriate way of petting a touhou? Headwear on or off?
I think its funny how vehemently people dislike the fart rips
Literally crying in the comment section
No one would want to make them anymore if people stopped reeeing about it
I ask before doing so.
Off, otherwise they are too powerful for you to touch.
On, toehoes die without their hats.
Depends on the headwear clearly, for example giving Shinmyomaru headpats with the bowl on would be pretty meaningless
On for gay sex
Off for anything else
only when they take the hat off themselves
D. Va rips are truly the Sumireko of Siivagunner
...no head?
Canonically there's no age limit to drinking in Gensokyo.
I also think its very organic growth in its fanbase has also helped it a ton. You often stumbled upon it on your own volition and explore it at your comfort. It's not being jammed around you in every direction. It makes it easier to judge if it's for you or not. This also makes the fanbase on general less insufferable.

Reimu and Marisa age normally and the games timeline is iirc equivalent to ours (a year in IRL is a year in touhou land), they are probably in their mid-late twenties now.
it's like the simpsons, the timeline progresses but no one actually ages
if they did, akyuu would probably be dead by now
okay okay, but what is her cup size?
Akyuu cannot die while cum sucking faries live.
Really makes you think
No, they age, their changing design shows that, reimu and marisa have grown taller and look older. I don't know about Akyuu, but she should be about 25 now.
I know taking ZUNs art is a crapshoot, but Marisa and Reimu have visibly aged, most dramatically of course from the PC-98 games where they were literal children and there isn't anything that indicates they haven't aged.
Also Akyuu doesn't look like a little girl in the most recent depictions of her anymore in stuff like Forbidden Scrollery.
Yes. You MIGHT be able to remain in the world of the living if you make it to the human village. But it's implied the odds of that happening are really low.
The whole thing kind of feels like a deconstruction of the typical isekai plot. Expect that the plot point is way older than the modern isekai genre.
Yes. But you get to feed a cute demon girl by doing so.
>You're forgetting the part where Gensokyo is practically a pocket dimension of her own creation
New lore seems to imply it was the work of all youkai sages, rather than just Yukari. The woman is still pretty much the bitch queen of Gensokyo though.
Sounds more like Eirin.
Ruba-dub-dub thanks for the grub, user
Please do not insult my fairy wives
yukari seems to be the only one who actually cares about her sage role at least
okina fucked off to hide in backdoor world for centuries and all kasen does is deny her role as oni and sage
THE BEST TOUHOU GAMES ARE TAKKOMAN AND CTC AND NOBODY CAN PROVE ME WRONG
You first
But ZUN stated in an interview that Touhou operates on Sazae time rules, which is how the Simpsons works
>Ancient Indian scriptures tell of a wrinkly demo who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of unenlightenment and unprecedented technological stagnation with them
It's a pretty painfull way to go though.
Huh, not seen that Q&A. Weird that he draws them older or tells the artists to draw them older in the case of Akyuu, but they don't actually age.
Why do we hate Ran?
It's implied that Okina has been manipulating things behind the scenes using her dancers. While SOMETHING caused Kasen to change her ways.
I think that's just artistic liberty on Moe Harukawa's part
Akyuu is adult though. ZUN just let her grow up because Suzu needed a senior.
I'm not sure, since Akyuu thinks she's get less than ten years left in FS, and she was like 10 in PMiSS
If the children of Are all usually die around 30 she definitely grew up at least ten years
>Having to point out his strawman when you literally can't refute how the game isn't a harem unless you want it to be
Typical day on Yea Forums, some autist complains about what they think is a "bad" game when they've usually never played it. I bet you're the type of person to get most of your opinions from clickbait "gaming journalism" articles and youtube reviews because you're an idiot. You can say him implying you're feminist is a strawnman, but you sure as fuck say the same retarded shit about these games that you'd see on a kotaku headline.
Well, Sazae time allows you to age characters while keeping others static.
But in the same interview ZUN stated he won't let Akyuu die of premature old age like she's destined to.
Perhaps what ZUN means is that they'll never get old enough for it to impact how the story and games pan out. So maybe Akyuu will just stay alive for however long she is needed.
So Reimu won't become a baba shrine maiden and Marisa won't lose her spirit for adventure and thievery. Or maybe he'll pick an age and stick with it.
>I bet you're my personal boogeyman

Marisa is cute and small!
A honorary fairy!
We don't. Ran a cute
I'm imagining her so hard right now
I'm so hard right now imagining her
Okina said she does behind the scenes stuff all the time. HSiFS is just being an attention whore about it

Reminds me of Cage in Lunatic Runagate, where Mokou heard about the whole "rocket to the moon" story, and got really worried that it was kaguya that was going to leave for good.
Turns out it was just remilia and the gang wanting to fuck up the moonwhores
Cute retard
no it isn't
>tfw I will never be good enough to 1cc SA, and therefore be able to fight Koishi
It's not the game series, 99% of touhou content is fan made including games most of which aren't bullet hells.
I'm sure some people like actually playing the bullet hell games made by Zun, but at this point most of the fanbase has probably never even touched one of them.
I-is it Futo time?
The Lunarians must be tried for warcrimes, not genocided.
It's ok man. One day you will get that 1cc.
Keep playing bro. Keep repping those reps. The cat and the crow can fall to you too if you try
So if an outsider who was devout in their beliefs used the power of their religion to ward of youkai, would it work?
Over a decade ago I managed to 1cc EoSC on easy mode.
As someone really not into bullet hells and no interest in practicing one of these games for a thousand hours, I called it good there.
>tfw managed to 1cc SA and can't even make it to koishi
sanae wasn't so bad but fuck that second part of the stage is rough
Doubt it, unless the religion exists in Gensokyo or has a tradition of being effective against youkai (as an example Crosses vs Vampires)
You can't 1cc EoSD on easy modo mate.

That's why I specified easy mode.

I think it would work to a certain extent. Faith is described as one of the biggest weaknesses of youkai. A devoted man, even of an eastern religion, should be able to chase away weak youkai.
If that is the case though, then I doubt Yukari would bother abducting such people in the first place. Especially since it might also draw the attention of a foreign deity to Gensokyo.
thoughts on this?
I'm pretty sure Remilia actually says at one point that crosses are NOT a weakness of her. Which means that vampires are either not weak to faith, or it only works if people have serious convictions.
Christianity will NEVER be a part of 2hu, stop asking
EoSD references Jesus. Some of the talk about saints and immortality too
>Mystic Square

>Actually says c*mbrain
>You think boatsluts is deep, gachafag!
For a delusional moron who was complaining about strawmanning a few replies ago, you're taking the opportunity to do it multiple times in one reply. I've never even played the game, never called it deep, etc. I only said you're an idiot because you clearly haven't played the game but were trying to tell someone who has played the game why their opinion and information is wrong. Simply put, you're objectively a fucking moron who has wrong opinions.

>Highest Grossing
Money =/= Cultural Significance
Touhou doesn't bleed their fanbase dry like dairy cows (FGO and gachashit does), and besides, most of the money spent on Touhou is spent on fanworks like doujins, fangames, etc.
didn't ask retard
you can go back now
Not once in that post was I arguing against Touhou being culturally significant. In fact, Touhou as a series has grossed more than Fate has if you consider non-official works.
It's just that ignoring actual sales from massive franchises that are undeniably MORE culturally significant is disingenuous.

>you need to play for thousand hours to get good
This is the biggest meme of people who don't play shmups, even if you are an absolute shitter it takes 10-20 hours tops to 1cc games. Probably less in most modern games because they are mostly easier and have crutches (except LoLK).
People who use this excuse are either lazy or have such a short attention span they can't concentrate or replay stages.
It will keep being shit with you and you filty kind here stick to resetera

The only Touhou fan I've meet IRL. He was a lanky white boy, and I didn't know that was a red flag yet.
Unironically blame Cave.
This game franchise is even more complicated than Fate though
Impossible to get in

that didn't happen, you newfaggot

fate has different timelines, non-linear story telling, and a billion different protagonists
if you can't get into touhou you're just dumber than dirt
For me, its Big Clay tits Mayumi
>implying I ever tried to make me calling you a game journo an argument
Only said you act like them, never once asked(or expected) you to refute it like I did with the kancolle poster's statements about how the game isn't necessarily the "harem shipslut" game you think it is. I was just stating that you seem like the same type of pathetic loser. You're still wrong, even if I call you names.
>writing too many words means you're butthurt! Also lmao you're so invested that I keep replying trying to prove something, certainly not that I'm right!
So are you just replying to me because you think I'm getting upset? The only reason I'm replying is so I can show how pathetic you are. It's actually entertaining for me because you just keep saying more retarded shit.
It's for the best. Imagine if a wider western audience actually consumed 2hu and recognized some of the things ZUN suggests implicitly in his work. It'd make the two/three real-world-centric autists in this thread look like a minor footnote compared to the amount of shitflinging that would happen.
LoLK has one huge crutch in the form of Reisen
How so?
cute feets
Just pick any windows one and play
How hard can it be?
No user you don't talk about 2hu games.
You talk about the girls in it, that's what matters. Its always which one is the most fuckable, or you immediately have to ask which one is their favorite so you can say that their waifu a shit and list some points about the said tohou and why yours is superior.
This works every time when its a conversation about tohou.
What does this even mean? Fate has 2 VNs, one of which is a fandisc. Obviously start with the one that isn't a fandisc. Touhou literally just start with any it doesn't matter
>Pick a game
>Start playing
I almost died
I 1cc'd every game from esod to lolk but I couldn't beat every extra stage, had to throw the towel with Mokou, Koishi and Hecatia.
I got both final A and final B normal for magic team in IN, I'm trying to 1cc scarlet because I don't wanna learn Marisas fight yet but god damn they suck so bad.
I dont give a shit about touhou
Mokou is kind of easy. Mainly because you have spell practice to learn her shit.
Give it a try again m8. If you could beat Raiko and Mamizou then Mokou is totally within your reach.
I agree about Heca and Koishi being bullshit though. Those 2 are harder than some of the games on Hard mode.
>Go into thread about GAME
>People are talking about GAME there
>"I don't give a shit about GAME"
>Walk away
What did he mean by this
Nothing wrong with that, she's the main character after all. And even with her the game is harder than average.
>>Walk away

Wait, Reisen is supposed to be better than Sanae? Sanae was easy enough already! What's the trick with her?
>Good damage
>Piercing bullets
>3 (THREE) extra lives with each bomb
She's fucking insane. You can have like 60 misses on a run and still 1cc

It's nothing like that trash undertale in any measure
>*ahem* FUCK lunarians and FUCK rabbits

>FUCK lunarians
Gee it looks like I have to have sex with this fair maiden. How unfortunate to me.
My wife is a sloppy drunk.
I will say that it has some interesting games in multiple genres, but the character design are all shit EXCEPT for Cirno and that loli with clown pants.
I'm interested in that Mother parody rpg and the Castlevania one cuz they seem cool.
Sanae is busted, Reisen is cheap.
FUCKING DELETE THAT SHIT
Marisa is better than Reimu in LoLK.
Not with that giant fatass hitbox.
Don't pretend that you would have any say in it. If a Oni decides you're dad material, you're going to be a dad.
The lore isn't that hard to get into, just filled with contradictions, unreliable narrators, and retcons.
Just follow the simple rule of "If the character has a reason to lie about this and can get away with it, she's probably lying" and "New canon trumps old canon" and you should be fine.
They're ALL drunks.
Can't trust those dolphins, man
Weird, my google says Idolmaster
I want to play as Patcho
Play the fighting games.
That's what Diamond in the Rough basically was. It's a little dumb at points and animated in Walfas (when's the last time you've heard of that program?) but it still holds up.
Sanae doesn't like drinking and Reimu bullies her for it in WaHH
>1 more pixel
Woah so huge.
Meanwhile Marisa's shots are better at screen clearing and her bomb is an upgrade.
The difference between the two is small, regardless, they're both miles behind Sanae and Reisen
DitR is complete trash. I would not suggest that to anyone in good faith.
>Muh abortions
>Impregnating Reimu.
Why?
>unironically recommending ditr
please end your existence
M8 I love Marisa, she's my MChu and I play as her every game. But I simply couldn't play Lolk as her. Reimu at least has homing and a decent bomb and Marisa's damage is too low this time and her bomb doesn't lets her Graze at all.
That being said, I played Sanae. Her damage was really nice and bombing meant you could graze the whole screen while dealing more overall damage than Master Spark. Wily Toad is ridiculous
>maiden
Umm
Which 2hu is the saddest drunk?
>EXCEPT for Cirno and that loli with clown pants.
m8 I diagnose you with the lolicon
Accept it Yea Forums
They're girlfriends
Marisa can graze if you sit on top of the bullet source, and her shot's aoe is great for stage clearing.
Again, regardless of where you place Marisa vs Reimu in that game, they really aren't that far apart.
>Not always playing Marisa
SMTBQH
>Woah so huge.
In a game where Junko exist? Yeah.
Junko
Mokou probably. Oldest and "hardest life" human 2hu who might have been a cannibal at one point.
>haruhi and nanoha still up there
Japs are alright sometimes.
Going by what I read, Diamond in the Rough is more of a deconstruction of Touhou fanfiction than actual Isekai tropes. It also doesn't really follow the canon lore that well.
If you want a game where Marisa is actually awful just play UFO.
>Not with that giant fatass hitbox.
>Marisa's giant fat ass
Reimu. Girl has been drinking herself into a early grave since she was a teen.
>who might have been a cannibal at one point.
Eh? Where does that idea come from?
I swear someday I will correct this injustice. I will learn the patterns to beat it without needing more than a few lives.
It's a fan fiction deconstruction written by someone only half as clever as they think they are. It's a painful mess of a story that will bore most people before you even get to the really dumb shit
Bullshit MarisaA in UFO is good. Piercing lasers are a kino shot
But only Marisa B is bad.
>kino shot
if you don't know what a word means, don't use it
>before you even get to the really dumb shit
Which is?
Losing the ability to chase UFOs because you barely move during your bomb is awful, and while the lasers are good for UFOs they have some downsides is piss poor coverage (in a game where fairies will shit out way too many bullets if you don't kill them)
She has weaknesses either way that the other two simply don't have to worry about.
But yeah Marisa B UFO is way worse for survival and the bomb is complete ass on it.
