Naruto vs Touhou

Touhou is only popular on places where Anonymous hangs out. (e.g. 4chan, 2chan, and Danbooru).

Google does a pretty good job of filtering things. For example, if you were to tell it to search for the words "final fantasy mp3" it would filter out every site that didn't have those 3 words. Somebody said earlier that Touhou has the biggest music following. This obviously isn't the case. Limewire and every other p2p torrent site seems to say Final Fantasy dominates the world of weeaboo music.

That would be true if One Piece wasn't a shonen jump show. Kids and teens don't care about the quality of dubs. I know when I was a teen I didn't care at all about the voice actors or dialog.

Touhou is less likely to have 500 identical copies of the same song only with a sightly different file size and not to mention misattributed songs due to some fuckhead thinking a song from one series would TOTALLY be a good choice for their Cloud/Sephiroth fanfiction and decided to title it "Ode to Final Fantasy" or something like that.

Yeah that is something that gets me worked up but it doesn't just apply to /jp/ related music. Every time I see a "Invader Zim does _________" I cringe.

It would be more fair to use 東方 instead of just touhou, but still it can't compare to a big franchise as Final Fantasy. Both have great music, granted.

That's just proof that /jp/ers and 4channers (in general) are stuck in our own little worlds. Whatever we think is good we talk about and post. So I guess it could create the illusion that the stuff we are talking about is popular. I probably only have 4 Naruto pictures in my /a/ folder, yet I have 2GB of Touhou pictures. /a/ and /jp/ only post what they like. Which makes me wonder about sites like Danbooru that have 10,000+ Touhou pictures. Maybe the only reason why that number is so big is because that's the only pictures that Anons care about.

One question, who posted all those Touhou pictures on Danbooru. If you were to combine /a/ and /jp/'s population it would probably only be around 400 hundred people. And out of that 400 hundred people only 30 of them are Touhoufags. Who the hell posted all those pics?

Touhou is extremely popular in Japan. Remember, Japan has a fucking huge population of NEETs/etc that serve as a market for everything from eroge to those shitty pillows; they ALL know about Touhou in some sense or another; even if they don't play the games or read the doujins, its the source of some major Japanese internet memes, too.

4chan is unique from a Western standpoint; its one of the few places that you will find people playing the same games that the aforementioned market in Japan plays; F/SN, Ever17, Tsukihime, Touhou, etc.

I know about those releases, but still most artists that were doing tsukihime fanart have moved into other projects a long time ago, that's my point. While here people still talk about it like it's the latest. Can't blame them, since the game was translated more than a year ago. Probably tsukihime remake might reanimate the interest...

It's not as if we have no idea what's going on in the moon, as would have been the case years ago for most of us, or even now in more "mainstream" shitholes. It's just that we don't all know moon, so it doesn't do much good to talk about, say, that G-Senjou thing. I mean, you can, but there's not nearly as many people who've played it as say Tsukihime, and a lot of the people who have did it via machine translation. I mean, we get most anime pretty much as soon as the elevens do, it's hardly fair to say we're years behind. Only eroge translations and such are years behind. It only makes sense that with such a limited selection of translated shit the same stuff still gets discussed.
