Christ, /jp/. How do I get into Touhou? I like the music and I've dabbled in one of the games a little but I take it the fanon is 99% of it - where do I start?

Pic related, first Google image result for 'touhou'.

Would it kill you to lurk before asking?
It's not like we don't get this thread every day.

[&ponpo& No.]

If you want music download whatever genres you like, if you want games download the games, etc.

[Edgy New Tripfriend !!RBT0Wter2IW No.]

Get whatever Touhou stuff you want.

[Anonymous No.]

It doesn't matter what with you do. Just lurk around Touhou-related stuff, and pick up what interests you.

Play touhou 7(Perfect cherry blossom) first of course. Also only play on lunatic, if you don't it'll take weeks to undo strategies you have set in your head from normal or easy modo.

Been lurking for a few weeks now, every thread seems so full of such hopelessly insular references as to be completely useless.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5711304
Use easymodo.

[Some Guy No.]

Go to Gensokyo.org, read ten thousand doujins. You are now a touhou fanon master!

[Ayashiro !Hime2512LA No.]

We had this exact thread yesterday.
Some idiot downloaded a batch torrent of everything Touhou and wanted someone to hold his hand.

At any rate, the only answer is >>5711269.

Lurk more. And don't give us this "I lurked but still don't get it hurr" bullshit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5711319
Well gee, sorry, I must have missed that.
>>5711323

[Ayashiro !Hime2512LA No.]

Oh, whatever, troll-san.

Well shucks, that's what I did o_o

Seriously though, what part of it do you want to get into? Some people only like some aspects. If you like music or doujins then a google search will get you fine results. There are music batch torrents or you can just find out the artists that do whatever genre you're interested in and download those. If you want the games then they're just as easy to find.

>if you don't it may take weeks

Fixed, assuming you put in more than ten minutes each day. If it takes that long to come up with another route after figuring out what it took to get through the earlier difficulties, then I'd question how that person formed the strategies to begin with when the more likely scenario is to keep dying to same damn section.

Right now I'd say the music - admittedly I've only played one of the games (though I did very much enjoy what I have of it so far) but had the feeling I was just missing out on the whole universe of these characters, etc.

True - still, ultimately remembering patterns is always going to be the way

you could watch some memetic videos, like marisa stole the precious thing and overdrive

I played the fan games. Touhou mother and Touhou labyrinth are pretty fun.

>>5711395
