Tf is a 2hu
>>837I don't feel that way towards them. At most, Yuugi is probably the one that I'm closest to being attracted to.
Rinnosuke, though…
Which game is a good one to start off on?
>>8932The first Windows one, Touhou 6 Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
It's the most basic of the Windows ones, without one-off gimmicks
Then if you want you can play them all in release order
>>827who doesn’t?!
but I’m sad about Touhou fandom being so horny and pedo, sexualizing all the cute girls in their cute dresses
I’d rather have a tea party with them and be good friends
The vampire chick that says kaka
>>8932I'm gonna go off the board and say either "Imperishable Night" (TH08) or "Undefined Fantastic Object" (TH12).
I do admire "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" (TH06), but it's a bit too cliché to answer with that and the game doesn't even have a hitbox when you focus, while "Imperishable Night" (TH08) is the most polished of the early Windows trilogy and has a wide cast of characters. If you absolutely suck at danmaku games, I believe that the community consensus is that "Undefined Fantastic Object" (TH12) is the easiest game.
Overall, ZUN tries to make each Touhou game standalone and avoid continuity (even though there is some if you dive deep enough) so it'd be easy for newcomers to simply jump in at any point.

>>8932Hellsinker
Although be warned: once you try it you may find yourself extremely disappointed in the lack of effort in ZUN's games.
>>8981I mean, to be fair, the games were made to be a backdrop for the music.
>>8976>>8976>If you absolutely suck at danmaku games, I believe that the community consensus is that "Undefined Fantastic Object" (TH12) is the easiest game.Really? Maybe I just got used to the previous system but when I play anything post-MoF I don't get very far, which is not the case in the early games.
There's an excellent terminal based downloader, several actually, to download videos. But even that method is probably trackable. The only solution is communism, then.albaniaAlbania
Finally a Touhou thread
>>12741There was already a Touhou thread though
>>12745Is there? I never located it
>>12791There's this masterpiece:
>>823
>>12743This is disturbing.
>>9258What was this supposed to be a reply to?
Wait it's pronounced 2hu? I dunno why but I always say it as Toe Hoe
Does anyone know about the "reimu is autistic" Twitter thread? I deleted my account and now I can't find it l o l
>>13073>>13073>the "reimu is autistic" Twitter threadwtf lol
This is what I found
https://twitter.com/juniandfriends/status/1219215933853421568The person who posted this seems to be one of those people who pretend to have several characters as split personlaities living in their head
>>13150Well, headcanon is canon with this franchise. It's the closest thing to a serious character analysis i've found
>>13150The biggest murderer in Gensokyo must be autistic? Problematic
!
>Since Gensokyo was a plot of land in Japan that is separated by a barrier, it is Japan that is immediately outside of this barrier.
>As a result of the seal, Gensokyo became inaccessible from the outside world, and similarly, those in Gensokyo were unable to leave.
Huh, I wonder if that is the reason so many Xover fanfiction of the 2000s used a similar "barrier" subplot to explain 2 separate worlds coming together.
>>13160It's inspired by Brigadoon
ZUN 「チェコは建物がやっぱりいい、社会主義国家のほうがいい」 “The buildings in Czechia were nice, after all. It was better as a socialist state.”
豚 「ああ町並みが整然としてる」 “Ahh, their streets were so neat and tidy.”
ZUN 「そう、ちゃんと統一感があって」 “Yeah, it really gave off a sense of unity.”
ZUN 「旧社会主義国家ね。ああいうのを見ると社会主義国家も悪くないなと思うけど、結局狂うんだよな」 “It used to be a socialist state. It really makes you think 'socialist states aren't bad' when you look at it, but things went crazy in the end.”
ZUN 「いま社会主義に対して資本主義も狂ってないかと言われると狂ってきてるわけだから、もうちょっと考えなきゃいけないと思いますよ」 “Now, I'm not saying 'capitalism isn't crazy as socialism'. It's definitely crazy, so I think we have to reflect on it much harder.”
ZUN 「今あるものが真実だと思わないほうがいい」 “So, it's best not to take things for granted now.”
豚 「でも次に議論されてるのはベーシックインカムですからね」 “But the next thing we'd have to discuss is basic income.”
ZUN 「社会主義だね。共産一歩手前だね」 “It's socialism, one step away from communism.”

>>16248so what ZUN is a social democrat?
/jp/ is not gonna like this…
That's nice. Touhou still sucks.
this may come as a surprise to (you) but japan had a very popular socialist party fairly recently and unlike ee states did not have a hard counter-revolution
Haha cute!
I can draw better than that.
>>16470AHHHHH NOO NO NO NOOOOO """"OTAKU""""BROS??? WHAT IS HAPPENING??????
> It doesn't matter if Touhou fans won't buy it. Basically, people who praise me are my fans, and people who call my games are shit are true fans. Players have the right to judge whether a game is interesting or not, then decide whether it was fun or not after they played it, so just buy it and have fun. Anyways, I think the game will be quite interesting.
ZUN is a cool guy.
>>16248>>16250he's saying both "go crazy" so yeah he probably is a socdem which is a pretty normie stance
>>16581in Japan this is basically bolshevism.
>>16581i mean, he's still sympathetic towards it at least, he thought it went insane towards the end, which is pretty accurate. i think that he'd probably support a commie state with an actual planned economy, but saying this is basically social suicide in nippon so he could be hiding like many communists there
or i'm just coping and i want the guy who made so many cool things to agree with me, who knows
>>16582>>16584"saying you're communist in japan is social suicide" a lot of showa-era manga & anime people, esp 60s new left authors that are still worshiped today, were communist. beyond the new left era miyazaki was wildly popular when he was communist and I dunno if takahata ever stopped being one; I've never read any "ok I changed my mind lol" takes from him.
I think there's less now cuz US liberalism vs US conservatism caught on and there's less hate of US politics like there was with the anpo protests
uhhhhhh thats a video game sir
>>19320Guess i should fuck off to /games/
God this is embarassing
So before this thread is moved can someone tell me what the hell touhou is all about and why its popular? (I've already read the wikipedia article)
>>19322It's a game that came out at the right moment, kinda like TF2 in the west. Japan is pretty shitty with copyright law and Touhou came out and the author was like "do whatever you want with this IP", so it blew up in popularity among indie circles, and the rest is history.
>>19322Well touhou is about a magical land called gensokyo where creatures called youkais live alongside humans. Sometimes these youkais cause incidents and it's up to the shrine maiden reimu hakurei and her friend marisa kirisame to resolve these incidents and punish the culprit
As for why it's popular,
>>19323 explained it pretty well
>>19322And if you want to get the games you should go moriya shrine
>>19325Bad choice, she would probably steal your wallet while hugging you
>>19327She already stole the precious thing.
I wouldn't hug almost all of them. I value my life too much.
>>19328What's the precious thing? Is it alice's virginity?
>>19322Moved? There's another 2hu thread on /anime/ and it's still up
>>19332i hate the generalfag mindset. its literally a thread just asking what touhou character you like
They should make a TouHou anime so that it's both. Like how Arknights is initially a videogame, but you have stuff like Lee's Detective Agency, and from what I understand a few other anime coming up.
>>19336theres touhou anime made by fans and corporations alike. thats how it works here
>>19336Yeah i forgot there's already a fanmade anime
>>824It's a mythical creature that mere mortals like us cannot understand
>>824A 2hu is a magical land where you see mostly girls with various powers, they get into battles to solve their differences.
>>19342I made that, sorry
>>8945Someone give this man a trophy
>>835You would die of radiation
>>19363Let them die from the Radiation she basically a Fusion Reactor. Let them find out the hard way.
>>19366>she basically a fusion reactorThat's why i love okuu
>>19370Well fair enough, Flandre needs hugs though she is always asking who U.N. OWEN is and was it Her.
>>19373It's indeed her tho i can't show proof or else glowies will kill me
>>833No please don't kill yourself you're so sexy ahahah
>>19377Byakuren is much better
>>823Whichever one buys me cigarettes in exchange
>>19379That would be mokou
Sooo is /anime/ the appropriate board for touhou stuff? Or is it /games/
>>19386Yes please, but
>>>/games/ is also perfectly acceptable since it's on topic there as well
You might even get a friendly reception in >>>/tech/
>>19387Does /tech/ love touhou?
>>19390They used to a while ago
>>19391Amd what happened?
>>19392I dunno maybe ask about 9front on there avatar fagging as the ice fairy
>>19393Sorry for my ignorance, but who the fuck is 9front?
>>193949front is /tech/ shit
https://9front.org/Used to use the touhou ice fairy as a mascot a while ago
What was her name?
>>19374Inciting the Warth of the Touhou Glowies. All While Yukari does Yukari things.
>>19400Yukari is a glowie
>>19401Well if Yukari is a Glowie then Reimu herself is a cop then for Yukari to make sure everything is in order.
>>19402 yes actually, this is especially true in th17
>>840Rinnosuke makes my dick hard
>>19407>orinBased choice my friend
>>834She would literally snap you two the moment you touch her
>>19412Ah yes i forgot that yuukabros are masochists
>>19413the ultimate fantasy of the yuukachad is comically falling into yuuka's punch, yelling ACK! and flying off screaming like it's a cartoon
>>19415I thought it was getting stepped on
>>19416Don't let them lie to you, they would enjoy getting stepped on by their Queen Yuuka, and thus completing their life's Dream. Unless you are the guy that wants to Hug Okuu despite being a living Nuclear Reactor.
>>19418Nah i don't wanna hug okuu
>>19419Well that's good you Value your life unlike the Masochists in this thread funnily enough.
And this thread is dead. Might make another 2hu thread if i feel like it
>>19439You Greedy bastard, you are going to die from hugging every 2hu.
>>19531Is this the new 2hus? What are the new 2hus in this that you want to hug?
>>823>>19532this wasnt funny in /jp/ 10 years ago and it isnt funny today
>>19531i just hope the netcode doesnt suck ass
>>19533I have absolutely no dog in this fight, I don't care about tohou or this thread, I've never posted in it before in all the years its been up, but why the hell do you care about someone's shitpost? What does it matter to you? Go be the fun police on /leftypol/
>>19532It's not finished yet, I don't think there are any new characters revealed yet.
>>19533It's not supposed to be funny
>>19535It's not even a joke lmao, OP is just asking a question
>>19534I've seen people playing from two opposite sides of the world and the game played ok.
>>19650So multiplayer actually works? Thank god!
>>20051>>827Hope you bakas aren't a bunch of frogs.
Why is she so LONG?
>>12740It's a Big cat…
for you
Honk honk. How is Chen going to ride her bike now.
>>20142Using a tandem bike…
>>12743Cirno is basically proto-Aqua now that I think about it.
>>20174Atleast cirno isn't a full blown retard and is actually useful
>>20174in flanderized fanworks, sure
>>20175>Atleast cirno isn't a full blown retardYou're being very rude to the goddess. Apologize.
>>20174Do you say this because I love them both?
>>20179>Do you say this because I love them both?Happy accident.
>>20178Nope
>>20176Cirno (just like many other 2hus) haa been completely bastardized. She's actually the smartest fairy, hell she's probably the only fairy who knows how to count! Also she can be very strong too
>>20181>Nope*clack* Apologize.
>Cirno (just like many other 2hus) haa been completely bastardizedI remember how the fandom has made that blonde girl a murderous psycho.
>>20182>*clack* apologizeAhem… NO!
>i remember how the fandom has made that blonde girl a murderous psychoYou mean flandre (see picrel)? Yeah, she's not a psycho, she's just weird and antisocial but still a chill person
Cute!
>>20182I mean Alice is Pretty Murderous with her Dolls, being basically a puppet master.
Reminder that the woman who did Chibi Maruko Chan is dead. The guy who did Yugioh is dead. Guy who did Berserk is dead. The man who did Shin-chan is also dead. Your dream of learning Japanese is dead. The man who did Tetris on the N64 is dead. Some people who were kids when Yanderedev started with his simulator thing have kids now (and he is still going). There are several hundred thousand hours on Youtube of dead people vlogging. How depressing… Hey, I have an idea: Let's get pumped up by listening to some music! Freddy Mercury (dead), David Bowie (dead) or listen to One More Time by Daft Punk who recently disbanded, and the guy doing the voice for that particular song is dead, and the music clip was directed by Leiji Matsumoto of Captain I Am Fucking Dead fame. Hmmmmm you know what? Why not play the first two Pokemon games. Hey, did you know that the President of Nintendo himself helped out with finishing those? Yeah, I mean the former President (dead). Ah screw it, start up the Dreamcast instead. That startup jingle? Made by a dead guy. Just died this year. Was in a music group with another guy who also died this year. The boss of Sega from the time of the Dreamcast launch is dead. By the way did you know that the average lifespan has started declining recently?
>>16470zun reads deleuze confirmed
>>20197He was referring to flandre. Also alice uses her dolls to jerk off, fucking bitch
>>20183>antisocialBeing asocial is not the same as being a robber or a school shooter. It's like equating amoralism with immoralism or atheism and anti-theism. Similar-sounding words, completely different meanings.
>>16584>i want the guy who made so many cool things to agree with meYes. Yes, you do.
>>20204I wanted to write asocial but got confused, sorry
>>20207I would go further and claim that antisocial people can actually be extraverts, they just constantly break all the rules. Dellinquents, bullies, criminals, anarchists. What have you.
Whoever refuses to integrate into living in a society can be called antisocial. Sociopathy is a subset of antisociality but isn't its synonym.
>>20183Ironic how Flandre has been the most flanderized character in 2hu.
>>20214I know right? IIRC the term derives from the simpsons character Ned Flanders. Btw i'm thinking about making a touhou thread
>>20215>Ned Flanders>turning an angel into a demonUnintentional Christian symbolism in 2hu.
>>20216>unintentional christian symbolism in 2huWell there's a 2hu called yumemi okazaki who litearlly uses christian crosses as weapons IIRC
>>20217 (me)
Forgot the image
>>20217>Well there's a 2hu called yumemi okazaki who litearlly uses christian crosses as weapons IIRCI thought Touhou was Buddhist/Shinto.
>>19640>>19641It's (at this point) a meme of the fandom, ergo posting it is "amusing" so to speak. Also the OP post was made 3 years ago, so….
>>20239Sooooo….. i'm a retard lol
So because other 2hu threads have been merged with this one, this is now THE 2hu thread. We can have discussions about everything 2hu related
>>20219the whole point of 2hu is that all mystical beings are going to gensokyo because the outside world is becoming uninhabitable to them, even western creatures like the European scarlet devil mansion is going too.
>>20261*blocks the attack*
>>826But she will suck your blood
>>20295He deserves getting his blood sucked by Remilia most likely enjoy the fact that vampire waifu sucks him till he is dead, but what most likely happen is getting impaled by her weapon. Better off being between the Border of Living and the Border of the Dead a Necrofantasia like Yukari.
>>20328Yukari is the best hag, better than remi
>>20615Not this fucking bitch please
>>20617Oh nopo so scary!!!! Bitch everyone knows yuugi is superior
>>20628She makes Flandre look sane.
>>20629Yeah like bitch is constantly mad for no reason
>>20630Yuuka is the best 2hu
reddit secondary thread
I bet at least half of the characters posted here were made up by anons to troll us, there's no way there are this many touhous.
>>20671Monk mommy!!!
>>20672They're all real, there are like 180+ characters in touhou
>>20688
i love her
>>20735Looks like an eggplant lol
I like how any interesting thread about Touhou gets merged into this shitty random thread.
>Following the opening of the markets, Gensokyo's land has lost all ownership, threatening disorder.
Not even Gensokyo is safe from capitalism.
>>20865Fuck….
>>20862Yeah i don't why they merged them into this one
>>20865it's a question of time until the Lenin yokai waifu appears in touhou.
>>21153average EraTohoK game
>>21153 LOL, is this actually real? or just AI bullshit, either way this is fucking awesome
>>21647i hate that cirno is THE character unfunny memelords go for
>>21648M8 Cirno has been a meme in Russian subculture and military culture since 2hu came into existence.
>>2165525 years ago? Lol, sure.
>>21655god damn do you also believe russians invented gachimuchi when all they did is badly ape what niconico was doing several years earlier (ive actually talked to people who do believe this)
>>21656Yes it was a meme even in the 90s о Сырно уже в 99ом начяли говорить
>>21657 The fuck are you even talking about? I've never see any Russians claim this, it's inane nonsense, the gachimuchi being a meme in subculture there as here, is also old as shit.
>>21670What the fuck are you talking about?
>>21648Like cirno has been basically reduced to "ahah retarded fairy ⑨⑨⑨⑨"
>>21831His post is pretty easy to understand broski
>>21922Memes were a mistake
>>21922I think even fucking IOSYS has a more fleshed out depiction of Cirno than the average "fandom" fuck.
>>21938>>21922>>21670>>21648 >Assmad samefaggotry bitching about "muh memes" because a soldier has a patch with a Cirno chibi on itTake meds FR.
>>21946Ah, then we're cool. It has been a misunderstanding.
>>21647>>21946What's the joke? Just le funny reference hahaha rofl?
