If you don't want to contribute to this thread, you don't have to, but don't go trying to kill it. The point is to provide an ABOUT page to explain to people in a few coherent sentences what Touhou is. Most people are not about to read a wiki for a few hours just to get an idea, so we're trying to make it easier for those that aren't as knowledgeable on the subject. If anything, link them to TVTropes, not the Touhou Wiki.

By the way,
Touhou Wiki

This doesn't really come even close to explaining what Touhou is.

In fact,
TVTropes

This is a much better explanation.

Confirmed for doki-doki tier.
I've been thinking about making a huge post for this, but it seems like some people have already covered a few things.

Ghosty, I don't see what your deal is.
How can an introduction to a series topic get out of hand?
This topic is about informing people who don't know about the series.
Introducing them to the characters, stories and gameplay.
Letting them understand why[/b[ it's popular, and how it became popular.

To be damn-straight honest.
I cannot see your reasoning in this.

@continue which wiki did you visit the old outdated one or this
@Milk well its not that i dont have nothing against this but I do sense that this will just become a spam pool to a degree which Naka wouldn't like at all just saying

I quoted the one that someone actually bothered linking. I could go on arguing, but that would just be spam, so I'm going to set myself a goal and just stop right now.

Fairly sure I've given up.
I think I can sum up Touhou in .. 3 img tags.

Said img tags


But if you want more info than that.. I guess it's more a way of life? A standard for people. A community outside of communities.

Touhou is. There are dozens of characters in the series, each with their own designs and personalities and fans making fun of that or blatantly putting down their own impressions of them.

To be entirely honest, for me, Touhou is good music, good fanbase, and one hell of a good fighter spinoff.[/url]

Heard about Touhou yeaarrrrsss ago back when cloud8745 was all that. Then IOSYS's You should drink Cucumber Beer got me addicted :|

To be honest, TVTropes sums it up well.

What I want to bring to this thread is a single question: Why touhou? Why it became so popular? There's a lot of danmaku games out there (indie and non-indie), so why touhou among them all?
It was because its music? Because its characters? Because it's dificult? Because the formation and looks of the danmaku? Because the gameplay?
What are your thoughts?

@Speedy, so you mean it's that one character from Finding Nemo, but they're manically saying "Bullets" instead of "Bubbles" eh :P?

Yeah, I can't beat most normal modes at all. My main connection to the series now is music, and remixed music. Which one can find plenty of on Youtube. The distinct melodies tied to each character, or their stage is a wonderful quirk of the series to me ^_^.
