Why Touhou is so fucking overhyped?
Well, yes. It has good gameplay and awesome music.
But characters? You may take a bunch of characters from any game and make tons of fanart and doujins of them.
It's like the whole Japan is trying to prove that their drawing skills are better than ZUN's.

[Anonymous No.]

So why do they imitate ZUN's style so much?

FUCK YOU TOUHOU IS AWESOME

It's not like it was an overnight success. He' been making them since the late 90's and it didn't get to this point until recently.

No he hasn't. EoSD came out in 2002.

There were 2 waves
The first was somewhere between EoSD and PCB/IaMP.
The second was Precious Thing/Kero9Destiny/McRoll shortly before/after MoF

Easy modo anyone?

After 13 years and 11 games plus a few spin-offs, ZUN may be at his limit. That's a lot for a single guy to do.

Do you suppose Touhou will remain popular if he stops making games now?
I fear not. Those otaku are a fickle lot.

As long as there's a guy out there who can't 1cc SA on lunatic then touhou will survive.

[Aoko Aozaki !WU0xSUGOI6 No.]

Touhou is accessable yet indie enough for a lot of anime fans to feel like they're on the cutting edge over the rest but not so obsecure that they won't know about it.

Probably at first, but it would taper out as more years passed without new content. Eventually, the fandom would be akin to what it was like about 4 years ago.

I'm expecting a huge backlash and mass abandonment in the future. Whether ZUN is still at it probably won't have an impact on when that happens.

[Anonymous No.]

The obvious answer is that if ZUN stops making Touhou games, Tasogare Frontier will pick it up and continue it.

ZUN is most likely waiting for just that to happen before he hits us with the ultimate in Touhou.

Can't wait.

Well, judging from the Bounenkai interview with him he is in high spirits.
I doubt he will stop making Touhou games.

Oh you.

[Anonymous No.]

That's just personal preference, but I like ZUN's drawing better than most of the fanart. I'd even like it more if ZUN had made the Character art for TH 7.5 and 10.5
They are unique and lovable.

It's "overhyped" because dumb fucks like you keep making threads about it being "overhyped", while you're actually creating the problem yourself. Get the fuck out nigger.

[Anonymous No.]

Touhou remixes = $$$
Touhou doujins = $$$

The characters are pretty much fandom property now, with all those fags bitching about ZUN not sticking to the fandom (powerlevels and shit).

In the future, the credits will be like
"Graphics: someguy
Music:someotherguy
Programming:someguy etc."

and then, in big bold letters:
"Creative Consultant: ZUN"

and then, I will be crying due to the disintegration Touhou will have fallen into.
