/jp/ - Otaku Culture

In my opinion Gensokyo is real, why is it real? It's as real as any religion, all it takes is to simply believe in it, most of the characters are based of ancient, not really spoken of, or even forgotten legends of youkai, and any other super-natural beings, just as God supposedly created this world according to many beliefs, ZUN is the God of the little world he made, it's physical in a sense, take how many art and other works is there, it's just so full of life, that it basically lives it's own life, even without ZUN's intervention. Then again, if ZUN made a canonical death of a character, no one could deny that this character is in fact dead, however if said character wasn't dead it doesn't mean that people won't imagine said character in their own way, just as we humans see each other differently.
