Any Touhou fans here?

TOUHOU!
I like the series a lot! However I'm just a little newbie hehe if you compare me with many others. About the official games, I've just played and got to the end of the first 6 games, meaning I have played most of the old days games! Fron the Windows era I've just played TH06, meaning Flandre, Remilia, Sakuya, Patchouli, Meiling, Reimu, Marissa and the rest of the cast are the characters I know better, I have little idea about TH07 as I haven't played it.

I discovered the series thanks to the now classic Ronald Mc Donald's Madness!!
I'll post the video here just to fry some neurons and cause some nightmares to those who haven't seen it:


How is that video Touhou related new comers may ask?
Well, the song it's Touhouish, it's a character's main theme, the young vampire Flandre Scarlet (a hidden final boss, very difficult indeed!!!) "UN Owen Was Her?" it's the title of the main theme.



Also, before Bloodstained, I was looking for some indie Castlevania-like game or something, and thanks to Touhou I discovered Koumajou Densetsu (Touhouvania) I liked it a lot =D

AND DATT take me to discover Castlevania Fighter, where Reimu (and Marrisa, and Cirno), and Sakuya are playable characters ^^

I'll just leave this here until I think of something else to say.

Favourite girl: Patchouli
Favourite stage theme: Shanghai Teahouse Chinese Tea
Favourite boss theme: It's a tie between Reach for the Moon, immortal smoke and Satori Maiden 3rd Eye
Favourite fan game: Mystical Chain

WHY??
Now I can't sleep, but I enjoyed the second one though
and I got class in the morning....

Yes, I'm a fan of taw-haw, I consider myself medium-length fan now since it seems like there was a fairly large influx of new fans sometime around 10D... may have been dem fighting games, I dunno. Anyway I've been a fan since JUUUUUST Before SA's release (and it had a demo out already). When I just discovered touhou.. err I mean too-hoo, the vast majority of people I knew who liked it also discovered it form that god-awful ronald mcdonald thing... I don't understand, if I saw that damn commercial, I would have absolutely NO INTEREST in anything related to it.. seriously.. how the heck do people go from seeing that abomination to deciding "omg I have to try whatever that's based off of!"... Anyway for me it was more of a personal story. I was having a craving for hard games, before they became trendy thanks to dark souls. So I had done some research and enjoyed I Wanna be the Guy and I wanna be the Fangame. But after completing them, I wanted more...Then I found that "HARDEST VIDEO GAME BOSS EVAR" video featuring mushihimesama-futari's final boss. Which looked hard. So I wanted that game, but the xbox360 version didn't exist at the time (nor did I have an ecksbawks 360 anyway back then). But by researching that game, I discovered the term 'danmaku', soo.. I looked for OTHER danmaku games, and, I found touhou, found it was on pc, so I could play it, and so I did. Loved it since.

EoSD was my first tee-haw game and it remains one of my fave official ones (PCB is my other fave). Fighting games don't interest me at all so I never tried them. After a year or two of religious playing, (I lunatic 1cc'd eosd, pcb, in, mof, and then decided I wasn't enjoying the process enough to bother any more, Hard 1cc's were more fun for me...lunatic is like... you have to memorize everything, it's a learning thing. you have to watch videos, study experts, etc. It was like work...which is fine for the games I liked the most but I wanted something new)I decided to expand to the fangames. I initially wasn't expecting much from them, I mean they're FAN games right? How good can they be? Holy Jesus Yokai! Labyrinth of Touhou is quite possibly one of my fave games of all time! Genius of sappheiros is really effing good too! I WISH I could play fushigi no gensokyou but no translation patch, but I know I'd like that game too. Touhou soccer 2 was fun for awhile too but got old to me after awhile, it was a good dang while though. I also like mystical chain as mentioned. Really fine game, the stages in it can drag on though, especially those damn lighting-summoning dudes near the final stages.. god those things are a pain, you have to play super super super super careful around them. That game's patchy theme is one of the best too even though it's pretty repetitive. I wish they had another version of it that was more complete and less loopy because what they started with it is great.

I personally don't see the big deal about touhou castlevania though... The art and the sprites are ridiculously well done, but the actual gameplay and music failed to impress me.

My fave Touhou girls are pretty typical. Remilia, Flan, and Patchy. Despite being an SDM fanboy I'm not a big fan of china, she's just meh...and sakuya is better than meh but not by a whole lot. One character I like that bugs the heck out of me that nobody cares about is Kaggy. She's so misrepresented. She's portrayed as some useless shut-in, and I don't mean by fan jokes like yuyu being a glutton, it's like people seem to think that's her canon personality! But in the game she actually enjoys your company, wishes she could go out more, and in fact SHE helps EIRIN when you battle Eirin, and NOT the other way around. Everyone has her completely @%@#% backwards. seriously.

I better stop lol.
