Apparently even ZUN was surprised by how well known it was within his kids' school.

66 responses. Also, one anon brought up something interesting:
>a stat i read recently was that many of the touhou popularity poll entries were from minors, and that EoSD is still being bought 20 years later by kids and is generally an entry drug to the series
Reminds me of an interview I read a few years ago from a merch store in nipland. The owner said his main customers for Touhou items were elementary/middle schoolers (majority girls), and that some were even introduced to it by their parents.
Anyone else have info on this or the new gen in general? Even as an anecdote, it's crazy to think there are families bonding over 2hu.

They both have high OC output and fanatics, but with MLP it's an all or nothing fandom. Either you're a brony (or actual little girl) or not. With Touhou there's a clear spectrum between the eternal secondary and 2hu loremaster who's played every game and knows every bit of trivia. You're more likely to run into a casual or "well-adjusted" fan than you are an obsessive, although the latter is often louder.
