Iosys’ latest collection of Touhou remixes… and the title should give you a bit of a clue as to what it’s centered on. Poor poor Cirno. Oh well, ⑨ probably deserves more or less whatever comes her way. This one is probably my favorite Iosys promo in awhile though. Check out/download the flash itself from here.

After playing one too many rounds of the 1999 arcade game Golgo 13, the idea was simply irresistable to me, especially since I was looking for a quick and easy game idea to code into existence. (Download Cirno 9 - The Strongest - Vista-compatible version here) As usual, said idea was neither quick nor easy but it [...]

Well, yeah, Touhou did kind of monopolize the whole Shrine Miko thing, complete with armpits and whatnot. Regardless of that, Kannagi is still enjoyable. Comparing it to Touhou would be like comparing armpits and manpits. Entirely different worlds altogether. Whilst I don’t read the manga, it’s rather certain that the premise is as such: Young, impressionable child [...]

A new Kitougeki vid! The newest of a series of SWR-ish storylines by Aquastyle (sorry guys, you can’t play them) came out on DVD, featuring Suika, Aya, Flandre, and Remilia. Cool attacks from some moves from SWR, and then some sibling attacks from the Scarlets. Too bad UBERLOLI owns them. As expected from my lolioni. [...]

Aquastyle released their latest/greatest SRW tribute DVD featuring Aya, Flandre, Remilia, and Suika. No Love Love Yuyuko attack in this one, sadly. I went ahead and cut out all of the ’story’ junk (ha… story) from the start and end so all that’s left in that is various Touhou themed SRW attacks. If you’re interested [...]

Just wanted to point out this excellent essay exploring the aspects of the Touhou series and its incredible fan popularity. I must admit that it’s hard not to be swept up into the Touhou fandom - personally I quite enjoy the games and have a fair amount of the doujin music releases, but aside from [...]

Wow, just…wow. Finally got to see ZUN IRL. Now I can worship him properly. This is a milestone for doujin culture as a whole, and a great leap forward for Touhou too. Thanks to Canned Dogs. Touhou Project - Stealing the Precious things since Highly Responsive to Prayers. Most of the Otaku would know the TV station [...]

This is a talk I gave at Barcamp Bangkok 2 on August 31, 2008. It gives a little introduction to Touhou and tries to answer the question why Touhou is so popular. <1> On May 25th 2008, in the rain, an fan waited in lines that stretched across the street to the next train station to go into [...]

Touhou is a phenomenon in the realm of otaku and has rejuvenated the dying shoot ‘em up (shmup) genre. It’s hard to believe that Touhou had such a humble beginning and has been already been around for 12 years. The series has become such a juggernaut that even people that don’t normally play shmup games [...]

I know, I’m like…5 days late or whatnot, I needed sometime to recover from the numerous head-desks and cries of despair, so yes, pardon me. Playing Imperishable Night has taught me yet another thing, it has taught me that playing Subterranean Animism is a real pain in the ass. I mean, seriously, Team Shanghai Alice and [...]

☢-tan For Touhou fans Chireiden was the highlight of this Comiket edition, I found the demo quite disappointing: first and second stages were boring, only the third was a bit interesting but the musics weren’t that good, they’re not actually bad but lacked something to make them really good like the majority of the Touhou music [...]

Fresh from Comiket 74 comes the full version to 「Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism」. Out of the new boss characters revealed today, Orin seems to have taken my immediate interest — her design (cute dress, red hair, twin-tail braids, nekomimi) appeals to me in every way. Music is amazing as always — Satori’s theme, love [...]

As C74 is drawing near, I decided to write a little post about Touhou. Actually this post was originally written in French for an important French blog which offered to its reader to publish their own articles so I decided to make one about what I consider as one of the most important and my favorite [...]

         If I could take a moment from all the anime posts today… Somewhere, somebody thought that what Splinter Cell really really needed was to be changed into a side scroller with Reimu as the protagonist, and thus do we get Code-R. I have to admit that it does look pretty decent though. [...]

With Comiket 74 planned for 15-17 August, its interesting to see that Touhou stuffs have grown immensely in popularity over the past 5 years. According to the research done by August Dojin Database, the number of circles that have been creating Touhou stuffs have shot up over the past 5 years. From a lowly 7 circles [...]
