It is a mystery

Normalfags have a magical way of infiltrating and ruining everything that was at one point niche.

Also, Filipinos are scum.

Nice blog post.

Why do you even bother with those dipshits? Just ignore them, they look like they don't even play the game.

Fascinating.

格好いい物語兄貴.

And here, my friends, we have a common case of elitist butthurt.

>How the fuck did Touhou get THAT popular?

IOSYS is responsible.

Seriously.

I'm glad I live in a country where there are 6 or less Touhou fans maximum.

If it was really the popular, everyone in the class, including the professor, would have chuckled.

I guess it's time to move on to something more obscure.

>>2079104
He said popular among weaboos.

>>2079104
So something more along the lines of "Would you say this happened because someone at Enron caused an EPIC FAIL?"

>>2079095
It's hard to admit, but you are probably right.

>>2079079
Kill him, fucking kill him

Britfag here. I only actually know one other person irl who says they've "fooled around" with the Touhou games. I know two other britfags who've linked IOSYS videos on IRC and been all "lol so random". I THINK we're kind of safe.

I'd actually blame TOUHOU HIJACK!

>>2079118

That's how I found out about it, I saw the Overdrive flash and immediately wanted to have sex with Reisen.

OP, you should have called him out right there for being a fag.

Youtube.

IOSYS.

Between O-OVERDRIVE-DRIVE, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing, and PETTAN PETTAN TSURUPETTAN, they basically ruined us.

Following that, RAN RAN RUUUUUUU

Touhou has become mainstream.
Enjoy seeing shirts of them at Hot Topic, soon.

Probably saw an IOSYS video, liked it, decided Touhou is good without even playing the games. Probably doesn't even know what is a Master Spark.
Well, whatever. You can ignore him, or try talking to him. However, the second opinion will give you cancer, so ignoring him is the best option.

sorry about your secret hideout guys!

>>2079142
I thought Tsurupettan was Silver Forest's.

>>2079142
Tsurupettan is by Silver Forest, though.

>>2079154
It is. I still like them regardless of the retards they attract, though.

>>2079143
Oh dear God....

>>2079154
Cause it is. This person is trying to confuse you and join the bandwagon of insulting IOSYS. The thing is however this person probably got into Touhou thanks to those flashes.

>>2079147

how come some fag always comes out and says "sorry about your secret hideout/club" etc

it's not even about that, stop being an idiot

>>2079168

>The thing is however this person probably got into Touhou thanks to those flashes.

I got into Touhou through a remix of Invisible Full Moon that I heard on a STARCRAFT map, thank you.

Yes I will retell this story until somebody cares.

>>2079206
I will look forward to reading this story over and over again, then.

>>2079206
You'll post it every day until we like it?

>How the fuck did Touhou get THAT popular?
I know, Touhou is very popular nowadays. I'm surprised they still haven't released it in America. Every Touhou video I watched on jewtube received 300,000+ views. Touhou is so popular in Japan that it sold 2M units. And since ZUN didn't have to pay royalties to any publishers he received every single dime. Last time I saw him he was living in a giant 3 story mansion. He doesn't even manage his blog/website any more because he has other people do it for him. Though the person that's currently operating the website fails at html. Hence the reason why there's been an error on the front page for months now. http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/

><img src="http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/image/banner.gif" width=200 height=40>

On Touhou's first month it sold 300k units. That's 3 times as successful as any of Taito's current games. Hell, if ZUN wanted to, he could buy Taito. But I think there's some jealousy going on. I've heard of one unpopular game in Japan that only managed to sell 50 thousand units yet they marketed it over seas. Why is it that Touhou (a game that sold millions of units) is not getting marketed outside of Japan. If Touhou sold millions in Japan, who's to say it wont do the same over here? It's almost as if they don't think Touhou will sell. It's almost as if they dont want money....

I'll sometimes reference touhou when talking to friends or people who I would think would know of touhou. However, no one I've met has heard of touhou.

I first heard of it through music choice in smash videos, which most people I know of seen but not expressed an interest.

>>2079216

No, you don't have to like it.

But I would like it if somebody would play RGB Bound X with me again ;_;

Even if I can barely last 30 seconds, and only get to 1:07 if I'm really trying.

>>2079206
I think you should probably add some spice to the story. It's far too short, and really lacking in content. Perhaps you could include some kind of battle? Maybe add a humorous anecdote? That would at least be more interesting. If you're going to keep telling it you might as well make it entertaining.

>>2079214
ZUN isn't making the games for the money. He's making them because he likes making them.
It selling well and having a fuckhuge fanbase is just a side effect.

>>2079252 Serious reply to uber sarcasm.

Check the emo field.

Yeah my college is like that too. 50% asian so probably 50% of those are weeaboos too. In my intro to C++ class there is always this one guy in the front row failing horribly on EoSD on easy mode. Seriously. He dies when he gets to China.

some faggot was playing some touhou music on his psp the other day and looked around to see if he was cool.

90% of all you who post here should die a horrible death / get a life.

>>2079289
>get a life
>/jp/

>>2079265
Ah.
Sorry, I'm bad at this.

>>2079289
Couldn't have been one of us. He was outside.

>>2079079
Touhou is not popular, we've already been over this. To go any further might invoke the almighty fury of the robotechguy. So why not just leave it at that.

>>2079214
The whole point of Touhou is that it is not commercialized so only "hardcore" people who are truly interested will bother to look it up. That's how the fanbase is so hax. Because of that the fanbase is very productive and appears much larger than it actually is. Anyways, I doubt it could do well in America because it would have no mainstream marketing tactic, is way to foreign for most buyers, and lacks the constant action required by today's youth.

>>2079339
>and lacks the constant action required by today's youth

uh.. are we talking about the same touhou series here?

Touhou is around for more than a decade, has given birth to thousands of doujinshi and is the most popular search string on niconico. It´s strange it hit the West so late.
Yeah, and blame IOSYS.

Touhou is not anywhere close to underground, nor has it been for years.

Stupid fucks.

>>2079339
American gamers only like games with 3D graphics.

>>2079079
Tell me where that flip lives and I'll kill him when he gets ever steps back here

>>2079079

Cool story, brah.

also, Flip owns you.

enjoy your ronery life in school with, racist emo fag

>>2079339
>only "hardcore" people who are truly interested will bother to look it up

Or people who stumble upon an IOSYS video.

>>2079375

>>American gamers only like games with 3D graphics.

and guns. and men.
a game about little girls in frilly skirts shooting colorful lights at each other, then drinking tea isn't exactly that.

>>2079659
Wait, but I'm American ;_;

>>2079659

>>2079352
Touhou is actually pretty slow paced.

>>2079669
talking about what mainstream gamers like. duh.

Sugoi troll thread, aniki.
