How did you find out about touhou?
Pic related. Bad Apple was my first touhou video.

[Anonymous No.]

I used to fap to yuri pairings of touhou. One day I decided to play the games and that's why I'm here.

[Anonymous No.]

my friend asked me if i knew about touhou
i lied to him and said yes and proceeded to download a game (imperishable night) in case he asked me about it

i spent the whole day playing and beat it on easy

then when he asked me about it he told me "games? i only watch the cute videos"

I mean, I "knew about it" for years because it's fucking all over the place. I would read about it every now and then because I wanted to know what it was, but there was so much shit involved I would get intimidated and forget it. It was back in March that I finally broke and started playing the games.

Played a rpg maker game made by the infamous forkheads guys, named the forkhead rpg. I am sure you played a flash game from them with slutty mc slut.
In this game was a weaboo bar in which cirnos theme played. I searched that song in the mp3 list of that game and googled it because it sounded so catchy. What I found was a cirnos theme on piano with cirnos perfect math class in the related videos.
I couldnt stop watching that video, even if it was on japanese with no subs and I didnt know wtf wwas going on.
Googled touhou then, saw that it were games and torrented a touhou pack with all games (up to 12.3). I started with 1 and played every game after that, didnt completed any of the pc98 games though.

I became a Mother/earthbound fan a few years ago and was searching up random fan videos when i eventually found Ronald McGiygas. That led to me finding McRoll, which then led to me finding U.N. Owen. That was when I found out it was game but i didn't get into the series yet. It wasn't until I found videos on Touhou Mother (RPG Maker game) that got me interested in the series.
tl;dr:
Ronald + Touhou = discovery
Mother/Earthbound + Touhou = made a fan out of me

Back in June 2008, when I had just gotten Etrian Odyssey II, I was looking up videos of bosses or something on youtube, and clicked on IOSYS's FOE video in the related section on one video. That led me to a bunch of other 2hu fan videos and eventually to me downloading the games. Then from some google search about touhou I landed here on /jp/. I had never even heard of 4chan before. My life has been a big disappointment since that day.

You missed the point anyway. The problem isn't how, it's when. Look at some of the dates in this thread. 2009, 2010, last year, what the fuck?

So not only are they new to /jp/, since they couldn't have been here and not known about Touhou in some way, they're new to the main subject of this board. So a great part of /jp/ are newfriends in not one but two ways.

I'm disappointed but not even slightly surprised.

Back in early 2004 I found a site devoted to doujin game and how install them.
there was "embodiment of scarlet devil" and "Perfect cherry blossom" . Set apart from the fact that these games was the same series, nothing to indicate that it was Touhou 06 and 07.
I tried first PCB. I thought the character was very bad draw, but for a manic shooter gameplay was very good, and I immediately loved the music.
In those days i never imagined the popularity of Touhou for people in Japan.

I saw the tsurupettan flash and didn't recognize any of the characters, eventually downloaded touhou mahjong to learn how to play mahjong, learned almost all the characters that way.

I seen 2006 the first Touhou pics, videos and read something about the games. But I had no big interest in that time. Later in the year 2009 I play the first time the games and become a big fan. To the pic: this was my first Touhou picture and first time I think this girl is just a random character.

Used to play Starcraft bw on a crappy outdated pc, later on during the various lurking through custom games I came across "Bullet Hell" The game was a micro-ing bound type of thing. Overall the gameplay was amazing, harder than anything I've seen on Starcraft's usual dull swill; but that wasn't what kept me coming back, the music was a brown pasty substance that was a crackling form (converted to a god know's what file to be played in starcraft.) which began to cause a slight tingling in my nether regions. Of course after long time I got bored, and decided to look up "Bullet hell" and came across this odd shooter, course I played it, searched up images of Patchouli and began stimulating myself in a demeaning fashion.

Of course this only lasted so long, and I directed my attention elsewhere to seek further stimuli, which brought me to /a/, now I know many boards, but /a/ was the most despicable in the usage and trade of "sage" this lead to serious contemplations of murder suicide after finding their addresses, but then died down after I was assured they contracted a deadly form of cancer; I left /a/, and in turn I found a new place, /jp/, here the portrayals of patchy are limitless and my brimming vigor can be spent at every sight in a furious, and again demeaning manner.

I forget, I think I chanced upon the music somehow while link jumping on Youtube a few years back. This happened on many occasions where the info for some song would say "Touhou arrange xxx" or "xxx's theme". So I looked up Touhou games on YT and shit my pants. I think felt like shit listening to the music so I decided to give the games a whirl. Been playing on and off for 1 1/2 years now and only beaten 3 on normal ;-;

It was not long ago around the time Umineko was still at EP4, I came across the video macro "communication breakdance" through Umineko and then I tried to research what the fuck that was. I realized that there were many version of it and one of those was about Touhou, this one:

http://youtu.be/mNqJYJZAihU

I never heard about touhou before and I actually had to interpret the moonrunes to read the title (I got it right).

I still had no idea what the hell it was, but a few days later I realized it was famous and then I kept seeing touhou everywhere.

I've probably seen the characters even before without realizing, I remember I saw Reisen and her funny dance at the arcades in one of those dance dance or dj remix stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

I gave up on /a/ around Feb this year and saw a touhou hijack thread. I knew of touhou but never much about it, so I downloaded all the games and managed to 1cc IN on normal after a week. After that /a/ was completely dead to me so I spent the next three months lurking on /jp/, reading through the archives, and learning it's intricacies before posting.

Can't remember exactly but it happened around a year ago. While i was browsing /a/v/jp/, i noticed many people talking about Touhou and its great music. So i was curious and tried it to see what the fuss is it all about. I downloaded PCB. The menu music was ok, nothing special. Then i went to stage 1 and my mind was blasted by how great its theme was. At that time i didn't know the shooting button so i tried to do a pacifist run and i couldn't get past stage 1.

It's not about "the good old days", a thread like this would've eroded into metaposting and floods of "get out of /jp/" maybe even a month ago. Instead here we are. "i found out about 2hu wile i was looking for funnay memes for mai school project ^_^". And no one minds.

I feel like I'm going crazy. This thread is in some parallel universe.

Maybe I'd care if I actually read the thread.

I try and forget these kinds of poll threads actually exist since the responses are always depressing.

You are overreacting.
You have to know that most people are here are pretending to be new 2hufags from stale apple & iosysfags.
Why would they come here if they are new when poolshmer suit them much more?

>pretending to be new 2hufags from stale apple & iosysfags.

I want to believe it's trolling. Most of it really doesn't seem like it.

>Why would they come here if they are new

Because if there are enough people just like them at /jp/ they'll feel like they're in good company. Eventually they'll outnumber actual /jp/ers and take over the place. Same way plenty of other boards went to shit.

/jp/ is fine, the posters are fine, the content is fine. A typical page today is no different from a typical page in 2008 or 2009.

The problem is the meta. Too many people complaining. If you genuinely get upset at pictures that aren't from what you think /jp/ should be about, why not ignore them? Or use an extension if you have OCD/ADD.

I used to listen to Touhou MADs on YouTube before I was a fat greasy nerd with no social skills. I had no idea what the music was from. One day I decided to visit /jp/ and saw Toehoes everywhere, torrented them all, and was surprised to find the source music for all of those MADs.

I didn't join it, rather went to one session. Touhou also isn't the only reason why I come here. Mostly melty and other various games

I've long given up replying to shitposts. What's the point? You're only giving them attention. It's a war you can't win. You can only try to persevere.

If those people are genuine, they'll get their chances to be burned by /jp/ really soon anyway.

Saw an LP, thought it was animu-into-the-game. Downloaded it, but took me about a year to open the .rar. Had a phase looking through all the games, but then returned to my NEEThole.

Who showed me, though?

I as introduced to the Touhou video games by a currently dead SA sub-forum where Touhou was eventually banned for being "anime."

[Totaku No.]

In my case I originally known of it's exsistance by accident when waltzing onto a board that was also popular for Rozen Maiden images (Back when Rozen Maiden was actually POPULAR!) Yet I paid no heed to it...

Eventually a friend of mine introduced me to Touhou via chat and guess which board he linked me too.... the same I use to visit. And before long I begin to look further into it and eventually got attached to it and got a hold of the games and soon afterwards doujin....

Also FYI, this all took place WAY before IOSYS started doing Touhou flashes, way before /a/ got introduced to it, and way before /jp/ was made to split up Touhou discussions... so probably just before PoFV was released is my estimation....that makes me pretty damn ancient.

I must be one of the few that watched McRolled after getting into Touhou, which I did on 4chan. I downloaded the games circa 2007 but I didn't really start playing until February 2009 when someone from a random /v/ thread said to give up on the earlier ones and start playing from EoSD.

Was Touhou even popular 8 years ago?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9221031
Circles already released stuff based on EoDS in the comiket after it was released. I'd say it was critically acclaimed. even 8 years ago.

[Anonymous No.]

just started playing today! Did some further research and found out /jp was made because of the touhou board hijack! Loving the music too! Too bad it's on a mac. wanted to play for years now! I was all like....

I was watching Let's Play videos by someone called Cloud8745. He decided to play PCB and EOSD and i thought that it looked pretty nice. I think he was playing them on Lunatic, but it's been too long ago and his channel isn't there anymore so i can't check.

I decided to try them out myself and i liked it.

There are mac ports for all the major games up to UFO. It's just that they're extremely shitty to the extent that all the text is illegible, and it will sometimes decide to jump from 60 to 120 frames per second for no reason.

Anyway, first found Touhou through some piano arrangements. Then I started downloading lots of music (especially Alstroemeria and TAMusic). Then I started playing the games, starting with EoSD and working my way up. Now for some reason I'm browsing /jp/ every day despite not caring about 90% of the bs that goes on here.

I played Samidare the year Perfect Cherry Blossom came out. I then played PCB and enjoyed it.

I first encountered it awhile ago, but didn't take any notice of it, was when I was looking for Mega Man games to play and saw MegaMari. I didn't think it would be interesting and just moved on.

I later found out about it by surfing /jp/ randomly.

A guy from my university was playing Imperishable Night on his notebook, I thought it looked cool so I got to my home and googled "Vertical shooter with anime style" and after a couple of hours I found it.

Had a friend introducing me to Umineko... suddenly the topic switched and he linked me bad apple... I thought it was a shadow art video of the cast of Umineko.

Was at an anime convention, hung out in the games room mostly. There was a Touhou thing set up there. I et some hardcore Touhou fans and hung out with them all day. Had a blast even though I sucked at the games, so I downloaded every Touhou game which I could find when I went home that night. Later found out about the huge established fanbase and that I had probably heard at least one IOSYS song even before knowing what Touhou was.

[Anonymous No.]

If you can remember, then you're a youngfag.

I've been on various anime boards since the '90s, before 4chan existed. I'm sure at some point I ran across Touhou art and Touhou threads.

I still haven't played any of the games

3 years ago, I had no idea what Touhou was, or that it even existed. I would see the characters, like the Alice threads that were on /b/, but I had no interest in looking the characters up. I did see someone post a picture of Flandre though, and damn if those wings didn't catch my eye. About a month later I saw another picture of her, looked her up, and thought that she would have been like a main character from some anime or something. I looked up Touhou and found it was a group of shooters, which put me off, as I at the time had no experience with one.
A week later, I found a medley of the EoSD songs, Sound Test in Touhou, and saw that Flandre was depicted as a crazy person, which sparked my interest in her character. I thought that the best place to find out about her character was through the game she was in. I found out she was in the Ex stage of EoSD, which didn't put me off the game, it actually fueled me to get better. Of course by the time I got to her and beat her a few months later (I'm casual as hell), I already looked up and found all I could want to know about her, but it was enjoyable to go against and defeat the character that got me into the series.
I've found the games to be quite enjoyable by their selves, and as casual as I am, I can say I can at least beat a few of the games on Hard.
