Its incredible how much stuff there is for what is a bunch of relatively obscure bullet hell shooters. I bet you a ton of people familar with Touhou characters have no idea the games even exist.

This happens more often than not in the western touhou fandom.

"Touhou" and "relatively obscure" shouldn't be in the same sentence unless there's a "not" in the middle. It's a massive franchise that has been going on for 20 years and has over 20 games now, including some that have been officially licensed and localized for international audiences.

But yeah, this does happen. The franchise is so massive at this point that it's stretched far beyond just the games.

Click the article I linked to and Google Translate it. The Huffington Post wouldn't be faking something like this.

I mean I'm cool with it either way. That game series has produced some weird as FUCK memes, but as a game series itself, it's solid... and she's the main character. I actually now don't even know what I'm arguing, sorry -_-

I feel like Touhou is the kind of series a lot of people have heard about, but the portion that knows anything about it beyond "it's a bullet hell and has many cute anime girls" is significantly less.

Or maybe I'm just projecting myself onto others >_>

That seems pretty accurate to be honest.

Touhou music is annoying and grates on your nerves just the right amount that it makes you sick but you don't blame it

It's like they found the hitbox of annoyingness in music and graze it nonstop

Stuff like this actually happens all the time when naming species. There's actually an extinct species of bandicoot given the binomial name Crash bandicoot. There's also a species of amphibious fish named after Frank Zappa.

And yet, most people who don't obsess over it can only recall it as "that thing with all the fan art all over the internet."

Never heard of that. I enjoy touhou but it's too hard. In all the games that require a 1cc of normal to unlock extra, I have failed to do so. The most recent one is one of the easiest and I've still only beaten it with 1 character out of 4.

So true story.

The moment the Undertale fanbase turned to shit can be traced back to a YouTube video where someone made an Undertale music video out of "Bad Apple"

Someone in the comments pointed out that this was a touhou song and not an Undertale song and the response was something like "nobody knows what touhou is and it fits Undertale better anyway"

This rapidly devolved into a fandom war where Undertale fans were unable to do anything except make huge asses out of themselves. Doubly so since the combat system of Undertale is even there because Toby Fox is a huge touhou fan.

Yeah. Look on the bright side. They didn't rename ALS after you.

Touhou is very popular in China. You can see reimu and marisa everywhere in arcades and random convenience stores and pop artists sometimes use touhou tracks as samples or outright remix them

i wish touhou was this popular in australia
