But they're some of the easiest and most forgiving shooters around. Im not on Lunatic level, mainly because I play by reaction and not memorization, but I still feel Touhou is probably one of the easiest series of bullet hell shooters.
Seriously though. A tiny, visible hitbox. Slow moving bullets, mostly. Ample warning time for lasers. Lots of obvious safe areas. Very little randomized shot patterns.
Each portion is planned out, its not just "send wave of enemies that fire automatically and hope to clog up the screen." that a lot of crappier shooters do.

Honestly its more difficult playing other games because you have such an immense hitbox and the bullets are usually much faster with less warning time, and depending on the game, dieing usually strips you of all your goddamn powerups (fuck you gradius).

I should have just gone with "torpedoes". I feel dumb.
