We always meming shit about an official Touhou anime, but realistically what kinds of adaptation ZUN prefer if that's really happen? The shonen-lite laserfest of the games or chill slice-of-life of the mangas?

ZUN doesn't want any adaptation and we never "meme shit" about any Touhou anime. No one wants it.

>> No.44116250

>>44116230
None, because ZUN is fucking garbage at writing story

Not necessary and laserfest would be terrible. Look at memories of phantashit

A horror with the pov of the youkai trying to survive the crimson slasher.

ZUN would never greenlight a Touhou anime, but if he did I'd love a full season of the plot of 6, 7 or 8 with plenty colorful danmaku scenes.

ZUN knows an animation would reinforce shitty (or not) characterizations, smothering creativity. He does not want people to feel being enforced to do anything in a way.
An I believe that, as azuma kiyohiko, ZUN does not think there can be a faithul representation in anime.

If there is an anime I think it would be the best if it followed Dragon Ball Super's style
>Various incidents take multiple episodes each to resolve
>Lots of episodes just to expand on the world of Gensokyo
>Series ends with a massive conflict that threatens the whole of Gensokyo, like invading governments

Knowing that people like you are the ones who want a Touhou anime makes me glad ZUN will never allow it.

The main problem is many people think it should be an adaptation. The real answer is that it shouldn't be an adaptation.
Mainline games will NEVER work as a full-length anime series. Maybe only in 5 minute shorts, but not as 20+ minute episodes. Touhou incidents doesn't have enough plot and talking in order to facilitate a long runtime, because it's a shmup and not a RPG.
Certain mangas could work, especially Sangetsusei, but a lot of them have to be restructured in order to be more newbie friendly.

If there will ever be one that could please both fans and casual viewers, it should be an anthology series, with each arc or episode featuring a Touhou's backstory. One short arc is about Byakuren, one short arc is about Remilia, one short arc is about Junko, etc. Very similar to what the fan anime Hifuu Club is doing, but just remove the Maribel/Renko aspect. There's a lot of settings in Touhou to play with.
This could satisfy fans with answers and inspire more fanwork for the current "timeline", this would be in spirit of ZUN's penchant for adding a ton of characters per entry, this could make it easy for non-Touhou fans to get introduced to it, and there's way more than enough material for something like this to work.

"Meming shit" sounds like the opposite of wanting it.
