Here's a question I've never seen asked.
Zun obviously spends time making the backgrounds of the games look good, even if they aren't seen too often.
So what's the best?

My favourite's are Utsuho's rotating nuclear hazard sign.
Flandre's Giygas impersonation
Alice's extra stage battle in Mystic Square.

>> No.7395181

I like Shou's ornate tiger background.
And Mokou's because it's blue.

>> No.7395190

I haven't seen all of them yet. But I liked the Utsuho one more once I noticed the cat.

Rip it from the gamefiles.

I have a few as my iPod's wallpaper. Looks pretty IMO.

ZUN's backgrounds are beautiful. I love replaying a game and randomly noticing some awesome backdrop that I'd never noticed before because I was always too busy dodging bullets.

Damn, now I need to hunt down rips for all the Windows games.

As if a picture of a cat wasn't enough distraction, ZUN had to make the cat image rotate.

Unless they rip them themselves, pretty much everyone gets them from the same place.

ZUN actually makes those? I thought it was a media player visualisation.

Here's the .anm to .png converter I made a while back.
It's a simple algorithm, really.
to use it, drag the .anm file to the executable, and it'll decrypt it and drop a copy of the png in the same folder.

That's the one, thanks. I bet Michaelangelo's The Last Judgement is also in there, since that one scrolls over the other.

Nnnnn... Not really all that much time, honestly. I mean, they're alright, but they pale in comparison to most other shmups, besides like Samidare or something. I mean, compare to this.
Not that I want to start a shmup war or anything, I'm just saying the backgrounds are probably the weakest parts of Touhou games.

OP is talking about spellcard backgrounds. We are appreciating their arabesque patterns. Literally every other game has better art than Touhou so why bring it up other than to say "hey guys I play shmups".
