/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Primary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to it's games. A longtime fan of shmup/arcade/retro-esque games, this person likes Touhou for it's actual gameplay, music and/or art/style. Probably has an interest in secondary works, but most likely enjoys the main games and ZUN's works more so.

Secondary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to some offshoot (dojin works, IOSYS, fanart, 4chan...). May or may not have an interest in its main genre and more likely have not really played the games; if they did play, it's only to see what the game is like and doesn't get into it (i.e. 1CCing normal or completing extra). However, probably enjoys the side games (IaMP and SWR) and may or may not enjoy the fanworks. This is also the typical "Touhoufag."

I suck at the shooters, but I am great at playing IamP and SWR. Currently completing almost all the characters' story modes in Hard Mode.

So I guess I am a semi primary touhou fan.

>Primary Touhou fan: Likes Touhou
>Not a Touhou fan: Doesn't like Touhou

>>1325581

I'd probably be a primary Touhou fan if the games were a genre I like.

Hey E-Mouse :>

Primary Touhou fan here, I discovered Touhou by Youtube's hilarious search terms (one of the random terms I was looking for picked up a Touhou game video and I asked someone and they said, "Oh, that's Imperishable Night.")

Ironically, I was watching /a/ have fun with the Marisa stole the Precious Thing video that popped up in December 05. Funny stuff, you know.

I don't understand. How can you pay attention on dodging Flandre's projectiles, while at the same time looking at Flandre's position and fire? Can any genuine primary Touhou fan shed some light on this?

A few friends and I decided to host a Touhou panel at Sakura-con.

First things first, we all know of the failure that was the Otacon panel and we're going to try to make sure ours isn't a repeat of it.

Second, this panel won't be designed to cater to the hardcore touhou fans. It's primary goal is going to be to introduce people to Touhou in a way that all of us, or at least most of us, can take a look at and feel it would be an appropriate way to bring people into the series.

I know many of you would probably loathe the idea of this, but let's face it. Touhou is only going to gain a more substantial Western fan base as time goes on. Going along with that, how would you rather they be introduced to Touhou? Through a panel that in the end was one most of you approved of and would bring their knowledge up to a level where they could at least interact with us without looking like complete morons, or would you rather they just go "Oh these girls are so cute/hawt/JESUS CHRIST HUGE BREASTS" and then act on an intelligence level on par with the small amount of gaiatards who are into Tohou. See also the topic image as well. I'd prefer to not live in a world where people go "Touhou is a game?"

To accomplish the primary goal of making this a presentation that most of you would approve of (I'd say all, but that would be an impossibility no matter what), I'd like to enlist people from the various imageboards to help edit this as it comes together as well as the populace of those mesasgeboards whenever major updates occur in order to see what everyone thinks and where it could be improved. I have a few people here and there already onboard for helping, but getting a wide variety of people to help would definately be appreciated.

The main format of the presentation, as it stands right now, is going to be:
1) What is Touhou Project?
2) A bit of the history of Touhou
3) A look at all the games
4) The world of Gensokyo
5) The primary characters
6) The fan culture that surrounds Touhou
7) The music of Touhou
8) The art of Touhou

And then finishing it off with some live copies of the games going so people can experience the games and talk with each other as well. Never been to Sakura-con so I don't really know how the rooms work in terms of space or how many they can hold so if anyone can fill me on that, it would be help out.

I probably won't have a public release ready until mid-January as a result of not knowing that Sakura-con won't start putting together what panels are actually going to be presented so I pissed away a lot of time that could have been spent doing the panel away because I was hesistant to do anything until I knew there would actually be a panel to present this on, but I thought it would at least be a good idea to see what the public opinion is on this and to see who was interested in helping. I set up a gmail account for this, Touhoupanel, so anything you want to send regarding the panel, just fire it off to there and I'll respond to it as best as I can. I also set up an IRC channel, #touhoupanel on Rizon for peole to help contribute.

I know a lot of you are going to be hesistant to help or contribute to this, but I'll be going ahead with this no matter what so there are pretty much two ways to go about this. We can either all work together to create something that a majority of us can approve on, or we can show something that could wind up being another Otacon panel and no one wants that.

thanks. i was looking for one more along the lines of, "I'm a primary Touhou fan who plays the games, yadda, secondary Touhou fans suck and are killing the community" but I'll see what i can do with this.

>>2071179
I'm the same. Heard about Touhou through 4chan, and like the games better the fanworks.

I mean how would primary fan hear about the games in the first place, before it got popular?
