/jp/ - Otaku Culture

amazing music, lots of fanart, good replay value due to the games being kick in the dick impossible on the harder settings and extra stages, yuri goggles, etc...

Because you need to lurk more

Here is your answer.

When people look at this, do you see a big Cirno, or a small Reimu?

>>2021152
Both at the same time

Not sure. It's fun, and the music's good... There's really not much to explain.

>>2021138
Get out

Many reasons.
The one first off the top of my head is it's a setting with a lot of content to work with for fanartists and doujin groups. For example, this...

>Touhou is just a curtain shooter game and u go around shooting things
It's more complex than you think

I like it because of the porn

>>2021160
Do you even play the games? if not, get out

>curtain shooter
Only touhou fans call them this, OP. You've messed up.

The Touhou community is based entirely off fanfiction. Hard to believe /jp/ has such a hardon for Touhou while raging at any other fanfic.

This thread is an eyesore

>>2021168
No, we call them vertical danmaku stg

Sure is trolling in this thread.

Picture unrelated, it's me and my friends in the Parasol Only Club.

>>2021172
So the only reason why touhou is popular is because of fanfiction and fan art?

>>2021188
Only Remilia needs it though

>>2021195
The games are fun. The music is good.

>>2021195
That sure isn't the reason why I like

I don't know about everyone else, but I like Touhou not only because it's a solid shooter, but it has a 'moe' factor that doesn't feel forced (Unlike most STGs that have lolis in them).

1)people liked the games because of the danmaku patterns
2)since it has an half-decent setting and only sketched personalities and stories fanartist and storywriters fap
3)more people come to know it because of the fanfapping, "games, what?"
4)shit produces more shit, it's an endless cycle of shit, a Shitvana, if you will
5)Touhou isn't Zun's anymore, BAAW, etc

I don't think touhou 12 will ever come out, enjoy your danmaku while it lasted.

>>2021208
True, the character have a godly character design

>>2021160

... and this one. Don't have much of anything in common, but still have the same source (although not the same artist).
It's a setting with a lot of potential for development. Strictly canon, waffy fluff or GRIMDARK, doesn't matter - someone's done it.

I don't know about everyone else, but I like Touhou not only because it's a solid shooter, but it has a 'moe' factor that doesn't feel forced or dirty(Unlike most STGs that have lolis in them).

>>2021160
You picked a very bad example.s

>>2021211
oh u

Unless you completely hate shumps altogether, chances are your tastes fall somewhere between the ironically almost polar opposite sisters: Touhou and Seihou.

Touhou features all completely dodgable spellcards (unlike some Seihou games, in which you can actually be forced to bomb), with more emphasis on beauty and atmosphere.

Seihou focuses more on fast-paced, balls to the wall action. Everything is much faster, bosses are bigger and more varied (Ships, lolis, anomalies, etc), but tend to have less story behind them. The difficulty spikes all over the place, and bosses tend to use every trick available instead of being themed.

>>2021211
I don't think it'll be the fans that stop ZUN from making more games. Likely alcohol poisoning.

>>2021175
Someone really needs to fix the background color on that.

>>2021227

As you can see from >>2021214 it was part of a style comparison, not an example of artistic merit.

Flood detection sucks tonight.

>>2021237
They are both very similar as far as the genre goes, and neither game is a shmup masterpiece

>>2021131

>>2021248
Hmmm, hadn't noticed

>>2021264

> neither game is a shmup masterpiece

I though Shuushou Gyoku was pretty close, though. Banshiryu was good, but it was missing something compared to Shuushou.

>Touhou is just a curtain shooter game and u go around shooting things.
>u
Jesus Christ /jp/, do your job and tell newcomers that we don't talk like that here.

>>2021290
Since when do we welcome newcomers?

>>2021353
We don't take kindly to newcomers 'round here.

>Seihou

Haven't heard about this before. Should I even bother with it if I can't 1cc anything but easy mode on touhou?

>>2021377
Heck no, it's pretty messed up. It's danmaku but bullets move 4 times faster than Touhou.

>>2021290
It's a troll

>>2021377
If you like being raped in all possible orifices, yeah.

>>2021377

Depends. Contrarily to Touhou, Seihou hinges more on sheer memorization as well as lightning reflexes than cold blood, real time scheming.

>>2021391
So touhou is better?

>>2021475
TOUHOU IS THE BEST, GAME, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

>>2021487
Shut up
