Of all the thousands of different circles you could have attached your interests and time to, why Touhou?

At it's core all it encompasses is a series of shooters made by a one-man team, why did you choose to immerse yourself in the culture, canon and fanon, behind it all?

Jokes on you I never played a touhou game in my life.

I still like the all the fan-art though.

I guess I wouldn't say I've gone that far. Really my interests are more for the games and the related music (original and remixes alike). The artwork is enticing occasionally as well, certainly are some highly talented people within the community.

"a 2hu" was the indirect object, and "affection" was the direct object; he also could have said "shows affection to a 2hu".

It's a great fantasy world that's well crafted, much better than say LoTR, Final Fantasy games, or even Star Wars and better than those franchises in general.

There really isn't anything not to love, also no men, so the eye candy is always there.

The music blows every other media out of the water.

This however definitely agreeable and better than most fantasy worlds.

The music really. ZUN's stuff is great enough as it is, but the constant stream of really good doujin albums is what sells it to me. At least 3 times a year, we get releases because of Comiket Winter, Comiket Summer, and Reitaisai.

The mountain load (~25% of danbooru) of fan art is just icing. I draw in my free time (read: During boring classes, Math major) and I love studying all the different and unique styles artists, even mediocre ones, post.

It's still alive and well.

Started with the music which I would listen to despite not knowing anything about 2hu, then I started coming to /jp/, leading me to be exposed to the characters, finally I caved in and downloaded two of the games.

After that, I became a Touhou fan.

>> No.9534939

I just got caught up in it really. I've never been much of an active member of the touhou fandom but it was a decent game with a decent amount of music, characters, fanart, doujinshi and merchandise surrounding it. Most importantly, there hasn't really been an anime or anything big enough and interesting enough to get me quite involved. We've seen big and overrated and small with not enough content. Touhou is just the most worthwhile thing at the moment.

>> No.9535241

I always liked the STG genre, and I discovered Touhou thanks a U-gen Remix of Necrofantasia, so I downloaded the games and they resulted to be pretty good.

Then, magical girls, remixes, manga, Remiria, etc...
