If you're bored and want to pick up a new, deep domain of knowlege, look into Touhou Project. It's a doujin bishoujo bullet hell shooter with a ton of cute girl characters from various varieties of supernatural beings. Its doujinshi manga and fanart continues to crowd events like Comiket. Now, it looks like a downloadable English version is in the works.

Eh, could be worse.
At least he isn't advertising it as some kind of epic anime game with lots of porn like 90% of articles I read about touhou

>> No.12261314

It won't be so bad.
Too many people in the West only know Touhou because of the porn. ZUN himself even said awhile ago that the one thing he wants for the international community is to not know Touhou for the porn and that's why he's sketchy about 18+ material leaving Japan.
Lo and behold, that's exactly what most Westerners know Touhou from.

At least this way more people will be familiar with the games and canon content.
And I doubt they will flood /jp/, there will be touhou generals on /vg/ and /v/ that will keep them out. /jp/ will always be too autistic for the average person.

ZUN is really dedicated to "preserving doujin culture", and basically only ever shuts stuff down for being un-doujin.

He didn't really realise how big the overseas fanbase was until recently, and was horrified at how much people had to pay to get their hands on the games. "Sold at a low price" is a central part of Touhou's *identity* for him.

It either means that /jp/ will be flooded by new people or that talking about 2hu moves to the boards you named and becoming bannable in /jp/.
Either way, I have a bad feeling about this.

Both of these things have been happening for the past four years.

I find out about this as I'm preparing to go to Japan. I was planning to buy Touhou games and stuff while there.
Out of curiosity, where would be a good place to pick up the Touhou games while I'm in Tokyo? Lets say around Akihabara?

Yes but touhou hasn't moved to other boards. That would be more critical than the other topics wandering off.

>> No.12267376

Yes it has, there are daily Soku threads on /v/ and plenty of people that have /jp/-esque conversations about Touhou characters ("Marisa a cute!!!"). Oh, and don't forget LE HONK CAT.

/jp/ has pretty much kicked all of its own topics out of /jp/. There was a time when if you told /jp/ one day it wouldn't be the board for TYPE-MOON and Rance everyone would have called you a retard.

Agreed. It would probably migrate to /v/ and /vg/, where it will prosper in a condensed form, just like T-M does on /a/.
Without anything left, /jp/ will finally die. It's about time.
