This looks really fun, so I'll answer these in a thread.
Let's see how it goes :^) https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434631294144512
I discovered Touhou two years ago more or less, but truly got into it last year, so I'm pretty new to the fandom https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434632523071489
I discovered the series thanks to the music, which I immediately thought was amazing.
Then I actually checked out the gameplay and it looked impossible but really fun.
Plus I had seen some of the characters before even knowing what Touhou was, so it was these three factors https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434633408045057
No, actually, since I first discovered Touhou through the music, where all the comments were about how it was a game.
Although before that when I didn't know the existence of the series, I did think that Marisa was from an anime when I saw her in a Brawl mod compilation video :) https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434634221772801
Easily Mokou.
She is an immortal badass with fire and phoenix powers, her lore is cool, her fight is incredibly fun and varied, her theme is amazing and her design is perfect, with her long white hair.
Also, most important of all, she has P A N T S https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434635064872960
Ehhh, I don't hate any character, so it's hard to think of one.
Probably Mystia, since she's boring as a character and boss, and her design is one of the few Touhou character designs that I don't like https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434635849162752
That would be either EoSD or MoF's cast.
Both of these have a fantastic cast of characters: EoSD has Cirno, Meiling, Patchouli, Sakuya and Flandre, while MoF has Hina, Nitori, Sanae, Kanako and Suwako https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434636692217856
I don't care about the PCB cast, while most people love it.
I don't dislike it, but out of all the classic characters, Youmu, Yuyuko, Yukari and Ran are the ones that I care the least about.
They are all cool, but people love them way more than I do. https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434637510103040
Well obviously, I couldn't call myself a fan if I didn't.
I've played IN, EoSD and MoF, beaten all of them in normal + beaten their extra stages.
I'm planning on beating all the Windows games and their extra stages, to call myself a true Touhou fan.
Next up will be PCB! https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434638365700096
From the ones I've played, EoSD is definitely the hardest.
I love how aggressive the game is from the very beginning, so even Cirno can make you waste a bomb or lose a live if you aren't careful.
And then Patchouli, Sakuya and Remilia offer a great challenge https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434639200415744
The easiest one is Imperishable Night imo, which is why I started with it, haha.
The bullet patterns are pretty tame, you get lots of lives, you have spellcard practice and on top of all that you have the last world mechanic, which makes the game way more forgiving https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434640051896320
As I answered in an earlier question, I've 1cc'd EoSD, IN and MoF in normal difficulty https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434640903266305
My favorite track is Native Faith, Suwako's theme.
I always love the piano in Touhou songs, especially when it goes crazy, and the piano in this track embodies that perfectly.
It's such an upbeat and energetic song, I love it :D https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434641712803842
It's probably MoF's ost, with IN's in a really close second spot.
Every song in MoF is phenomenal, whereas in the rest of the games there is at least one track that I don't particularly enjoy https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434642815897600
This is a hard one to think of, but probably Pandemonic Planet, because it always gets overshadowed by the other extra boss themes.
Song of the Night Sparrow also deserves a mention, such a great track https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434643918974977
Hm, this is a hard one, since the characters that I like the most are quite popular.
Idk if they're considered as Touhou characters, but I'd love if more people appreciated Renko amd Maribel, they are such great characters despite only appearing in the stories of Zun's albums https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434644791386112
No, but I'll probably read them when I'm done with the games https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434645726703616
Definitely Flandre.
Previous to fighting her I'd only beaten IN an its extra stage (+ EoSD in normal, obviously), and she and her level were just way harder than anything I'd done before in Touhou.
Beaten her was so satisfying, I adore her battle https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434646632763393
No, but I'll probably try some of them, even though I don't play fighting games at all https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434647547125761
Ehh, the ones I've played are really popular, so idk lmao.
And it's hard to judge the rest of them without having played them https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434648427921408
I'm not really a fan of ships, so I don't have that many, but I can say that I adore the Mokou x Kaguya ship.
Reimu x Marisa and Maribel x Renko are the other two ships that I really like https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434649216454658
Akatsuki records is my favorite doujin circle for obvious reasons.
Stack is just such a talented singer, I love the range of voices she can sing in while sounding incredibly good with any of them.
Other really good circles are Melodic Taste, Demetori and R-Note https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434650147536896
Haven't read any, so no answer here https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434651007369217
I've seen Memories of Phantasm and The Sealed Esoteric History.
I really enjoyed MoP, it doesn't feel like a fan anime at all if we ignore the duration of the episodes.
While in TSEH I liked the Renko and Maribel scenes and got bored to death with the other scenes https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434651938553856
Well of course I do, imagine a Touhou anime made by Ufotable, omggg
I'd freak out if they announced an official anime made by a good studio https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307434652819365888
No, so I'm very hyped for Touhou 18, if Zun plans to do it, which I think he does? Idk I'm too lazy to chek https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436190484684800
Not really, my headcanons are based off of what the games tell us and fanarts/funny comics I see of the characters, so they are similar to most people's headcanons https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436191692632064
I hate that Flandre is always portrayed either like a 5 year old or like a psychotic crazy murderer by the fandom.
Other than that, I don't get the "Reimu is super greedy" thing.
Oh, and Meiling being incompetent in her work, I never understood that https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436192804212736
Don't know much about the PC98 characters, but Mima looks like a good candidate, with her being Marisa's former mentor.
She would be cool as a villain or as the extra stage boss imo, especially to see her interactions with Marisa https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436193848590336
Not into cosplay, so no answer here https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436194951696384
Same as the previous question https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307436497100967936
Sadly, no😔 https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439577418792960
I don't even know which characters have it lmao https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439578551255040
She's not really forgotten, but I'd love to see Keine make an appearance in a future game https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439580589694976
Nope https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439581638217728
Not really, the only thing I can think of is Night of Nights, the Flowering Night remix by Cool&Create, I had no idea where that was from until I got into Touhou.
But other than that I can't think of anything https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439583081017344
No, specifically because they don't seem fun to play.
A big part of the fun for me is the spectacle, vibrant colors and patterns of the danmaku, which is something the PC98 games don't provide imo https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439584150605824
Flandre for sure, no contest.
Another character that is way too overrated imo for how little she does in the games is Koakuma. Like what is there that makes her so popular? She appears for 5 seconds, does a forgettable attack and leaves https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439585165635585
I haven't played any of them, but I'm waiting (and hyped) for the English release of Lost World https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439586394611712
This one :)
I love Akatsuki Records
https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307439587606708224
I don't hate them, but I don't get Sakuya x Meiling, Marisa x Alice, and certainly not Youmu x Reisen https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307445526758006784
Yuyuko's backstory and everything related to the lunarians.
Touhou lore is really interesting even if I don't know much about it, I should look into it more https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453710893629440
Definitely Imperishable Night.
It's the one I started with, and I can say it's very welcoming for new players, while still being really hard.
Spellcard practice is the best possible mode for newcomers, and I hate that the other Touhou's I've played don't have it https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453712915341313
As I said earlier, I'm not into ships so the answer is no https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453714307772421
I don't know anything about the PC98 games, and never hear about them, so I kinda ignore their existence lmao https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453720288870402
I don't draw so no answer here https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453726525763584
I think it'd be awesome to see a human character who fights using gun's and explosives and uses acceleration magic so that her weapons can hit youkai https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453730678165505
I really hope it's a metroidvania, I love that genre.
If it's not then at least make it so that there are actual platforming levels and it's not just a boss rush https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453732385222656
A metroidvania, but I'll just guess 17.5 is gonna be that, so let's say an rpg, kinda like Dragon Quest.
Exploring a huge open world Gensokyo with rpg mechanics would be so cool https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453735354789888
Mokou or Sanae https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453736843841536
Musical fireworks https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307453738215337985
Now this is a good one :)
-Gensokyo Millenium
-Maiden's Capriccio
-Pure Furies
-Beloved Tomboyish Girl (UNL)
-Reach for the Moon
-Necrofantasia (Magical Astronomy)
-Idolatrize World https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307457349108420608
Cirno was my favorite character before I started playing the games, and now she's my second favorite one, so yes I still adore her https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307472522418352128
No, but I'm planning on playing Luna Nights after finishing PCB https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307491231891468288
The final question at last, huh.
It's a shame that I can't answer it, since I haven't played any yet, but this thread has been really fun to do as a relatively new Touhou fan.
I'm curious to see how my answers will change in a few years :^) https://twitter.com/touhou_as_/status/1307491234034851841
