QUOTE ^ Nope, that was an April fool's. Here's the reason: http://www.doujinstyle.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13400Oh I know this topic^^, hmm but was it really so? I have the whole story a bit different in backflash since the main site was still open until christmas last year and then it was brought up with legal issues and not on first april (and there was always financial trouble there and the final push was that with the legal issues). Ah but never mind it doesn't matter anyway it's already so long ago maybe I or you mix up something
QUOTE In any case I have to ask the obvious question that may have been asked before. How did this get to be so popular after the years this project has been out? blink.gif
QUOTE Don't know about the site, but the game pretty much kicked ass. Got a well established fandom in Japan [I think in the Comiket/similar events], next thing you know they're recommending it or some gaijin weeaboo comes across it and spreads the word.
Also MADs. Yeah it has a huge fandom in Japan, just to say a number on gelbooru the touhou tag has over 84 000 images, whereas the loli tag only has about 20000 or 25 000 images, Lucky Star for instance not even scratches the 10 000 mark.
I think the main reason for this are not the games itself but the cast of characters, I mean who can resist waki waki miko Reimu
Ah yeah btw to those who have already played Touhou a bit, whats your favourite game (of the normal danmaku ones) ? My favourite is Subterrean Animism, the atmosphere is great, so is the cast of characters and the final battle with Utsuho is just awesome, lol birdbrained but huuuge power.
