So what does anon like so much about Touhou?

I really want to immerse myself into the huge amount of fanon shit, but I can't even get into the games. The music is great, gameplay's alright, and there's a shit ton of characters, but it all feels so flat.

>> No.6110397

I like the fan works really. I played the games, but they get boring rather fast. Soundtracks are worth downloading though, and some of the characters are memorable.

Nice trolling bro. Are you from Europe by any chance?

The Fanon.
It's the only reason I even play the games.
It's the same for everyone here. They may say different but when it comes down to it, the fanon is what keeps them playing and interested and deep down, they know it.

I love everything about touhou including that fanon and canon.(but not the porn)

Not trolling or a Eurofag.

>>6110397
I like the fanworks I check out. I can't really get attached to the characters though, since it seems most of the attention they receive is from fanon.

Maybe the key is to stop listening to /jp/'s "primary/secondary" bullshit.

The games made me feel like when I was a kid playing games again. The gameplay is what keeps me here.

Noticed just after posting. Perhaps "dull" would be a better choice. Blame it on being nearly 3am.

It's not like there aren't other better shooters out there. What does Touhou have that they don't, aside from the fandom?

ZUN put a bit of life into his characters and left the rest to fans, maybe you ought to look into the fannon more to find the "life" in the characters

Played shmups with my dad when I was a kid. I find it really fun and nostalgic when I play the games.

Second thing I like is the music and the arranges fans compose.

Touhou is not a fandom, it's a way of life.

The music.
I can't take it easy anymore whit the standard arcade tunes.

Also the mix. Nice (Music+gameplay+charachters) = pretty over average game.

Yeah. It actually kinda twists you mind once you start playing the games after obligatory secondaryfag period. I don't even recall the last time I fired up Steam to play something else and majority of music I listen are Touhou remixes and I have gigabytes of fanon manga & pictures.

TBH, I have no clear idea how I ended up like this, either. I wasn't that into anime or jap culture either.

The games are pretty mediocre, really.

Nice art (sometimes) and good music, but in terms of scoring systems and gameplay, it is really pretty poor for a shmup in my opinion. The patterns just aren't all that exciting, it feels slow paced a lot of the time, it is understandable how it would appeal to some, but not for everyone.

>> No.6110883

I don't like shumps but I enjoy SWR/ soku.

The fanon is awesome. I didn't really get it at first but once you learn more about the characters it becomes pretty cool until it gets done to death like ⑨
