Howdy! I’m bored and I’m making this post on a whim to help introduce people to the whole Touhou thing! I’m gonna teach y’all a few tips I wish I’d known myself. I’m not qualified to make this post. Anyway!
REASONS TO GET INTO TOUHOU
An almost all-female cast. Seriously, I’d estimate 97-98% female
VERY STRONG FEMALES. Many of them could kill you very easily.
The characters (in-game at least) aren’t sexualised! They just fight each other. And then have parties. Lots of them drink.
The games (the ones that aren’t fighting spin-offs, at least) are all made by one dude who is drunk basically all the time. Art, music, coding, it’s all done by one guy (commonly known as ZUN)
The art’s really charming, even if it isn’t the greatest
The game is really hard but beating it is very rewarding
Lots of great music, and remixes of said music!
You can’t really spoil a Touhou game, and can start pretty much anywhere.
Now, having that said, here’s how to get into Touhou.
In this store, you go in, shop, and then walk out carrying the item’s you want to buy, and their facial recognition software figures out who you are and charges whatever items you are taking to your account. It’s incredible and creepy.
*Walks into the store with anti-facial recognition haircut/makeup and leaves like a bandit*
the cyberpunk dystopia is upon us and it fuckin sucks
