Tomorrow (32 hours from right now) I have to give a presentation about Touhou and how vast its presence is in Japan and especially its effect on Japanese internet culture. I'm probably going to be giving this to only 10 people at a Japanese anime/culture club, but I want this to be good, and like get these people into Touhou and not have them be just meme-spouting fans.

So, if you don't mind, /jp/, I'd like to request pictures or information about Touhou stuff in the real world (stuff at shops, cons, et cetera), info on memes that Touhou started (I know plenty but help here is appreciated), and cultural references that Touhou has made in the games (but I also can get these from the wiki I suppose).

And I can summarize whatever I have for info so you can tell me if I've got anything down incorrectly.

The fanart that Zun's horrible character art inspires is probably worth mention. Some side-by-side canon/fan-art comparisons would be, if nothing else, mildly amusing.

I thought most real shump-players said that Touhou wasn't that hard, but I know the music is a draw as well as the characters. I get what you mean about doujin, but people had to play the games to make the doujin, and I want to look at those original fans first.

And yes, I plan on bringing a few good spell card videos to demonstrate what danmaku really means.

Seriously, Touhou only has an important presence in the current, ever-changing otaku subculture, not in Japan. In fact, it's presence is cumulatively vaster outside of Japan in terms of fanbase, if not user-created content.

Anyway, this is from the front page of White Canvas, one of the major independent Doujin stores in Akiba, taken just now. Count the Touhou.

Just bring scans.

The thing with the spellcards, back then it was a new thing to have a memorable name for a bosses attack pattern. What's more, the attack pattern was very well made and looked beautiful. Combined with unique music for the bosses, it really stuck to a person's mind.

Spellcard names are useful for discussion purposes, but the announcement animation seriously weakens the game. There's a delay of over a second where you are doing nothing at all. You don't see this kind of time wasting in Cave games. This kind of thing is the real reason people call Touhou games "slow paced", not the actual bullet speed which is often reasonably fast.

In Cave games you only get a pause before the mid-boss, a pause before the boss, and a pause between levels. There is no other delay between patterns, which means the games require much more intense concentration than Touhou games. This makes them better.
