Why do you love Touhou?

100% the music, setting, characters and of course the large community surrounding it. gonna be real here i don't think i would ever be a touhou fan if it were just some random bullet hell ngl.... ;_; and i would've never ever thought of even touching the genre

Suspicious person:
I initially fell in love with a fantastic remix that popped out on a youtube video recommandation and planned to find where it came from and nothing more, but the sheer amount of everything I keep running into during my search got me more and more intrigued and passionate about this series. I'd also say walfas videos and the legendary meme videos à la Alice stole the precious thing, McRolled, and Cirno's perfect math class also played a large part in me discovering the characters and the memes.

I'd say the culture, the community, the various works (music, book games, both official and fanmade) hooked me on one side, and the discovery of the universe, characters and much later even the games got me wanting to see how far the rabbit hole went. We're really, REALLY low production here, but still the series manages to be more immersive than a lot of AAA games with big boi budget production with experienced writers and realistic graphism + physics

The almost-all-female-cast-series niche wasn't quite as abundant as it is nowadays in the past, but that part is still one of what made Touhou kinda unique back in its golden era. It's not such a unique point nowadays as there are for example plenty of popular gacha franchises that are OVERLOADED with waifus and boobs and sexy voice acting and high production value and actual marketing and lots of content (all of which we pretty much don't have much of), but decades of community history and fanworks just CANNOT be replaced by any random new-hot-thing, and honestly, none has managed to charm me quite the way Touhou did.

It's way past its golden era, but we've entered a time where there are more people who are somewhat aware of Touhou and even a much easier access point through Steam (revolutionnary) or the various mobile games  which are millions times more appealling to casual audiences compared to the bullet hell games.

--- Quote from: Shiina on March 28, 2023, 05:39:41 AM ---For me, it's the community and the passion that surrounds it. Touhou is a labor of love, from ZUN on down. I believe that this is why Touhou has stuck around for as long as it has. Kancolle eventually faded into the background, as will Genshin Impact someday but Touhou will live on for decades.

I love the world and the characters. The world is very inspiring that it makes me wanna make my own little fairy tail world :heart:

Ngl, I dunno why :cirnotan:. It is just it have good music, a fun and simple storyline that even a kid could understand, fun gameplay (<-- A liar or a madman or both), cool characters, and all other stuff. And maybe some fan made music.

Even these reasons aren't enough, because there's something in Touhou Project that clicks with me. It felt like I entered a new world with new people, even though there are some that I don't like. It is just a wonderful thing how it entered my life the moment in 2020, before I even become 13.

It is just impressive how a series about girls beating the living crap out of each other can stick with me throughout my life. Without it, I might even not think about being a writer. So even though there are things in Touhou I might not enjoy, I am somewhat thankful for the Drunken, yet Competent One-Man Developer, Jun'ya Ota (ZUN) for making this series into fruition.
