So how did Touhou get so popular? When did it all start? Does anyone know? And I don't mean in the west, what got Japan stirred up so much that so many doujin circles became dedicated to one independent shooting game series?

Many years of constant releases with a small but regularly and exponentially developing fanbase

Thanks, Captain Obvious, I was talking about how and when Touhou got popular, not what it was. Did it get popular after EoSD, earlier, later? Does anyone actually know, or is it just taken for granted?

-Danmaku
-Cute girls
-Very little 'official' storyline
-ZUN's art has... "room for improvement"
-ZUN never fills in blanks other can use. Example: Do youkai still eat humans? This leads to both dark and light-themed works.

It became popular when it was first introduced on PC, so year around EoSD and PCB.
