Thank you, Japanese bro who made us this chart!

I think it explains the current state of Touhou in Japan quite well.

I am somewhat between General Touhou Fan and Touhou Fag, I like games a whole lot, music a bit, don't give a fuck about doujins, and my arrow would be "fun".

I enjoy all of it. First experience with Touhou being the STG, Perfect Cherry Blossom which I played through a few times enjoyed and left for a while before getting further interested in Touhou when /a/ started mentioning it more (before hijacks, back when /a/ kind of liked it).

Then I basically decided to download more of the translated ones and got hooked there, finding out what I could about the characters before finding doujin works online and rearranges of the music I liked.

I like pretty much all aspects of it now. Though it's not like I've downloaded all the doujins, I've read practically all the translated ones but only keep the ones that were amusing in some way, my favorite is probably still Charming Border of Life (Ennui Akadako). Played all the games, though I've not played them obsessively enough to beat hard yet, still stuck with the usual 1CCs of Normal on a good day.

Touhou is best if you enjoy all of it in my opinion and have fun with it. In my opinion you can't fully appreciate some of the references in the rest of the fan work if you haven't played the games.

When did Japanese nicofags learn things like "MAI WAIFU" and "touhoufags"?

International communication sure travels fast these days

>> No.1977971

"Touhoufag" seems to be a person who doesn't play STGs, or thinks that Touhou is the best/only STG out there, thus "CAVE is a copy of Touhou". The creator should have probably used a different label though.

But I like how the Japanese guy used the -fag suffix. He has lurked quite well.

>> No.1977974

>>1977937

Probably, though really I don't see what's wrong with finding out about Touhou because you enjoyed a IOSYS flash. I mean sure, there are obnoxious fans who just parrot memes and jokes from the fandom non-stop, but that's always happened to some extent and you'll always get faggots in any community.

Providing a fan isn't too annoying and gets a feel for the series it doesn't matter what originally interested them about Touhou, hell, even people who just stick to the fanart and doujins aren't too annoying, it only becomes annoying when they parrot stupid shit everyone has heard thousands of times before. Hurrr, Aya is a slut. Yes, we get it, the odd joke about it isn't so annoying so long as you don't insist whole heartedly that's her character.

That makes sense. I was wondering what the difference between 'general Touhou fans' and those consigned to the 'hopeless gulf' was.

"Anti" would be who? People who hate on the series just for being popular? So the elevens have those too?

I got interested in Touhou through the simple yet effective process of "Ooh pretty pictures" but, after playing The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil I don't see how the series got to it's current state aside from the music remixes

What exactly am I overlooking

>> No.1978030

I was introduced to the series because of /a/'s bitching and saw how hard the game was on YouTube. Downloaded IN at random choice and even though I don't know anything about the characters, I was hooked.

>> No.1978040

Started with the games (PCB) because it was talked about on /a/, played it, played a few others, found that I liked the music more. I only like listening to the music and collecting nice Touhou pictures here.

Personally, my first shoot em up was Space Invaders in the arcades on the seaside.

I'd like to have a good mooch around the world of tohou, but all the stuff seems hard to find.

If the men of /jp/ could point me to a site where there are mu/rs/mf links to all the games and soundtracks, that would really help.

Am not into torrents, and at the moment the frustration at not having found somewhere to just leech the whole lot at once, is putting me off giving tohou a try.

Help, please?

Definately. The few Cave/Raizing/Arcade threads we have here are usually pretty busy, even if it's usually the same dudes and kept alive with Reco image dumps and "which touhou is this lol?"

I actually hope there's a reverse progression of touhou fandom > touhou games > other STGs. And then someone can finally find the Aki Eda Mushihime-sama doujinshi...

Yeah, they think of them as newbies, even though both groups are idiots. They blame them for the overflow of people in reitaisai 5.

Man, this reitaisai is going to be crazy. Just seeing that the number of votes in thwiki character poll went from 12K in '08 to 22K makes me wonder how many people are going to assist this year.
