Couple things to mention here. 5:13 the two books marked by an asterisk aren't written entirely by ZUN himself. One contains a short story written by ZUN (Top) and the other credits ZUN but his actual involvement in it is pretty loose, making it questionably Canon as a whole (Middle.)
The other is that you CAN see the Good Ending if you beat the game on Easy Mode (except Touhou 6.) I don't know if the Extra Stage can be unlocked, but at the time of recording I didn't know this was the case on Endings.
EDIT I put the clover on the wrong game OOPS. Violet Detector isn't the latest Twilight Frontier collab, it's two to the left, Antinomy of Common Flowers. I can't believe I didn't notice that
Other than that, I hope you enjoyed it.
5:08 Violet Detector is only from ZUN though.
Regarding Easy, I think it's only from touhou 14 onwards that 1ccing on this mode can unlock the extra.
For pre touhou 10 games, I didn't start from a blank scorefile, so I dunno.
I edited it now, but I put the indicator on the wrong game and didn't even realize it. Appreciate the heads up on it but damn that is a bit embarrassing
@@AspreyFM Hehe, some people would tell that it's what this game deserves to be treated as XD
@@AspreyFM You didn't mention the hilarious age range of the changes. 0/10 video.
Thank you. I haven't finished the video yet but I am sure it will provide a sufficient answer to my question.
Touhou fans crying in the shower because they are dodging all the water drops
Good joke
Easy. Stay in the back of the tub.
the closest rain drop *GRAZE* them
lmaoo
And laughing in the rain because they are dodging all of it

-No, Cirno, Touhou is not an anime

“What is TouHou?”
*Sees the first thing of the video* Nothing I’ll be able to beat.
lmao if you happen to want to try out a touhou game, i'd suggest Touhou 8 Imperishable Night, its one of the more easier games. do not try to even attempt Touhou 11 Subterranean Animism or you will summon satan
@@crustacean78 is touhou 6 a good game to start?
@@jewel-kun9730 Definitely! It's the first game of the Windows Era, and is a great start to a simple plot and iconic characters!
@@crustacean78 that's from a plot standpoint. But what about difficulty?
@@JadeJuno difficulties vary. i can rank the ones IVE played.
*hardest*
Touhou 15 LoLK
Touhou 11 SA
Touhou 6 EoSD
Touhou 12 UFO
Touhou 10 MoF
and the least hardest, Touhou 8. The only trouble i had about th8 was the 4th stage and the final bosses. touhou 11 is hellfire and touhou 15 is 50x harder than touhou 11 (imo) eosd is easy, but since u can’t see your hit box, it’s hard to make out where you’re dodging shit. sorry if i’m kinda going around ur question- but. touhou is very difficult for sure. but after u get used to it, it’s easy. until you start playing on hard or normal mode lol
“Although Touhou is regarded as an easier game in the genre-“
Me, as I’ve spent a good portion of the video jaw dropped at the screen how people even do that: WHAT
Yes, as much as Gengetsu's Raep time sends chivers down my spine, it's not the hardest one out there
From what I remember, undertale is considered as a bullet hell. Undertale is easy. I don't think we can say that TouHou is low on that tier list, of course there are bullet hell's that are easier than this
@@slavishentity6705 bruh UT is not a bullet hell whatsoever. the closest thing to BH type genre was the omega flowey fight. toby fox was inspired by ZUN but its more of a RPG with a gameboy vibe (imo at least) if UT was a straight up BH that'd be cool asf :o
Yes

Then you haven't watch introduction video by GaijinHunter
This video is the proof Touhou fans aren't as cringy as Undertale fans.

@@donottrustanyonelol and lots of fanbase cancer. This game has the shittiest community I have ever seen, compared to the actual game
@@weirdoscreation There is a good side and bad side
You have probably looked at the bad side so far, now go look at all the artist and creators who actually pay attention to the cannon lore
@@youraverageperson6211 MinusT for example
@@weirdoscreation I can partially agree and confirm that this fanbase is the worst and the best fanbase simultaneously
The thing I don't understand is why the fandom is so large and dedicated. I see so much well-made Touhou art almost daily. I am not complaining! I simply want to know what about it has people so invested. For as long as I can remember I have seen countless Touhou fan videos on RUclips as well.
Because Jun'ya Ōta aka ZUN encourage people to make anything they want from his franchise, of course while still obeying some rules
Well the fandom used to be even bigger in the 2006-2012 range but it's since declined. Don't let that mean that there isn't still quality fan works being put out because there are
It’s where most fan art producers begin, since there are already so much fandoms you’ll never be blamed for doing it bad. So creating fandom for Touhou is great for practice. If you check the artists in Japan, many of their early released arts were Touhou based.
cause pjapanese fans are weird ,
because touhou character design is unique compare to other.
the fashion is incredible and easy to recognize
At this rate, touhou become more like a culture itself.
Yup, touhou reference can be found almost anywhere lol. As goes with a famous comment that says, if anything exist there will be a touhou parody of it, and the presence of touhou hijack memes

@@patricklewis9787 don't blame us, we're being spoiled to much by sakurai. ;-;
Just started learning about this franchise about a week ago by watching your streams and I'm interested in learning more about it! Keep up the good work!
Well, if you're new to Touhou, would you mind terribly if I dropped you into the deep end of the pool by recommending the very impressive animations by minusT? I highly recommend you to either play through the games or check gameplay featuring the games/bosses featured in his animations, as well as possibly some combo exhibition clips from the fighting games, in order to get a full appreciation for the amount of work minusT has put into his animations.
(In case you want a recommendation guide for minusT's stuff: Watch the Final Boss and Extra Boss fights from _Touhou 6: EoSC_ + a combo movie or two featuring Remilia before you check his "Reimu vs Remilia" and "Marisa vs Flandre" animations; watch someone play through the final stage of _Touhou 7: PCB_ before checking his "Reimu vs Yuyuko" animation, and someone going up against _PCB's_ Phantasm Boss + a Yukari combo movie before checking the "Humans vs Yukari" animation; check a full playthrough of _Touhou 11: SA_ for his "Subterranean Stars" and "Brambly Boundaries" animations and then watch a playthrough of _Touhou 8: IN_ for an idea of his upcoming project.)
Zun is credited as the "creator of touhou" but the popularity of the series doesn't come from him alone, with an incredibly large portion of the fanbase never having even PLAYED any of Zun's actual original Touhou games. Touhou isn't just a game series made by an indie developer, it's a doujin phenomena that spans decades and millions of people expressing themselves through it. At this point Touhou is "a video game series" as much as maybe something like Marvel is a "comic book series"
how can you call yourself a fan of a videogame series without ever having played a game of it, anyone who does that is a clown
@@Mijzelffan don't pretend like you're only just now hearing that most touhou fans never played touhou, it's a well known fact.
@@nepdisc3722 the things I knew about touhou before watching this video could be counted on one hand, so hearing that its fandom is mostly compromised of "I'm a huge touhou fan, can't wait to play the games one day" people unironically is indeed new information to me.
@@Mijzelffan a lot of fans are secondary fans who enjoy the doujins and fangames
You put the cart before the horse. Sound like the reason those fans said they like touhou even if they dont play, is because its already popular
this Poor guy didn't sleep due to hype and worry may you rest well
“Basically Touhou is Japanese Cuphead with a smaller hitbox”
We’ll be right back
And the flying is permanent instead of certain levels.
BRUH touhou was first, Cuphead only made a cartoon version
@@kellyscorner1319, I know. I was just going along with a joke.
@@kellyscorner1319 I know. It works both ways. If someone were explaining what cuphead was, they could say “basically it’s American Touhou with a larger hitbox”
For me Touhou has always been about the music.
Been playing some of their games but bullet hell games arent really my thing. Enjoy the fighting games though.
But the one thing that transcended the games is the Music, as it has a very distinct yet very recognisable sound, once you listened to Touhou music long enough you can easily identify a touhou song even if you never heard it before.
Yeah. Same here. I discovered Touhou when I heard a remix of Okuu's boss theme some years ago. I got curious about it and found it was a bullet hell game. And it showed me more music and lots of characters. Then, I looked for playthroughs and fan content, and all of it got my interest.
I once tried Touhou 6 (The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) on Normal but I always lost to Patchouli... :'(
When I first played undertale the music almost reminded me of touhou music
Same. It comes as no surprise that zun created touhou as a vessel for his music. All the characters and games are made to fit the songs, not the other way around.
Zun really hits it out of the park as a music creator
Same!!! The music is mainly what got me into Touhou!
Marisa stole the precious thing is how I got to know Touhou. I stumbled upon some other songs, really catchy.
When I first started playing touhou, I couldn't shake an extremly strong feeling of deja vu. Turns out i had heard almost all of the ESoD soundtrack without having ever known it lol.
Lol cool
Finally googling "What is Touhou" after seeing characters and songs from it online for years and then subsequently finding a RUclipsr I used to watch a lot when I was big into Pokémon on a smurf Touhou account describing the series was quite the surprise.
"A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one."
this person has a pokemon channel? if so I would like to know
I read through Zun’s rules, and dear lord he’s lenient. He’s completely okay with the nsfw content made alongside everything.
He doesnt exactly like it, but he doesn't exactly stop them either which leads to it having a *lot* of doujins H and not. One of my favorite doujins is miko miko suika where suika becomes a shrine maiden with reimu. And then there's osana reimu...
@JotaroPudim God dammit it still stings.
@@lazydelibird I think the guy understand that there is no point in trying to fight it.
@@Cowboycomando54 Yeah, it's as inevitable as death and taxes.
I love the difference between him and Yoko Taro. Yoko made the Neir series and his response when fans asked him about hentai based on his characters was "How despicable! Send me all of it immediately and I'll review it personally,"
i was obsessed with Touhou music and characters in middle school but I never figured out how to play it.

As someone who has been a fan of his brother for years and have watched Dylan a few times, I was very surprised when I heard his voice on this video
Congrats on finally getting the video out! Love your work. Here's to a million more videos. Cheers!
That was a great overview of the series. It really explained a lot to me, someone who knew almost nothing about it before hand. Thanks a bunch and good luck with your series!
This was great, looking forward to the next videos on here!
Tysm!! Such a good vid and cleared a lot of questions I had even though ive been into this series for so many years🤦♀️
theres a theory that theres a "canon" explaination for the pc 98 to windows shift which i think is really cool.
basically at the final pc 98 game alice uses a super powerful magic spell (a grimoire) to undo an incident which causes a world reset. idk its kinda cool and meta but also funny since its so convenient and zun can just rewrite everything now that hes graduated and been employed at the time.
its also why some characters from the first games dont usually appear anymore (like mima)
"What is touhou?"
Really fucking confusing like what is going on
It takes a while to understand everything do not worry
Just think of it like a hidden franchise and treat it like every other franchise

Just wanted to say this was a really well put together summarization that feels like a really good entry point to getting a sense of everything as someone who just started looking into all of this. Just wanted ta say thanks!
Your a Touhou fan? Oh yeah then count every bullet in every game in the series.
I don't think anyone can
I would guess 989,981 bullets
Somewhere between 98 and Graham's number.
10?

Thank you professor Asprey, for your course in Touhou 101.
Definitely looking forward to learning more about touhou!
Thanks for this amazing video. Good clips, informative, and simple to understand; those are good qualities for a good introduction to a series, and your video is very welcome as a part of this.
I hope you keep posting quality videos like this and that you keep improving over time!
Finally got to watch the video, and I love it. It's a really good introduction to the Touhou series! Congratz Dylan!
This was pretty interesting. I’ve only known Touhou from the music and a handful of characters. I’ve always wanted to play the games but didn’t know where to start.
Thank you!
People generally start with Embodiment Of The Scarlet Devil as the preceding ones are all on the PC-98 and need to be emulated. Also they were made before team Shanghai Alice became just Zun and weren't solely our lord and saviors full artistic vision.
Jokes aside the only PC-98 game I had any fun with was Highly Responsive to Prayers, just because the gameplay is so weird. Basically, instead of flying on the ying yang orb and shooting magic at your enemies you... hit the orb with a stick, and aim it right so it hits the enemies. Also if the orb, your own projectile, hits you without you swinging the Gohei it fucking kills you, and bullet hell is still happening around you during all of this... yeah I remember now, it actually was not fun. It was the opposite.
@@YakuiMeido So Embodiment of The Scarlet Devil is the best choice to start with? Thanks for the reply, too!
Thank you for explaining all of this. This series is a massive blindspot for me. I'm not gonna give it a shot, but thank you for explaining
I really look forward to your next videos!
I started following your vods ~3 months ago, and, thanks to you, I started to understand much, much more the world of touhou and its characters!
Now with these videos, I hope me and many others will be interested to get more and more into this series!

Great Video! Really learned a lot!
This is an awesome introduction to Touhou. Thanks for making this!
Touhou in a real nutshell:
"Welcome Hell"
you must have: real good eyes to see through all those bullets and a really good memory [yes, patterns are specific to each characters, and if you can rember these, you then can steamroll.
You will get:
-girls, loads..and loads of girls [and armpits, never forget these]
-certainly what could be considered as one of the best soundtrack there is [sweet me...how many bottles of beers do I need to reach 800+ music tracks?]
-loads of fan stuff..and that's no joke [rember the 800+ soundtrack? multiply it by 1 000]
-and...pichu~uns....loads and loads of Pichu~uns due to a bullet
Can´t wait to see your vid when it is time to review Takkoman Kouzatsu
Thanks for the info!!
I got in fairly recently, so im glad to not be completely out of the loop
I swear I commented on this video when it went live. Oh well. Anyway - congrats! When I first heard you are working on non-stream video I was sure it is going to be Touhou! And fan-games are great and uncommon topic to cover, so I can't wait to see your take on them! Anyway - great start and can't wait for more!

Good stuff, I have no complaints. I am excited to see more videos from this channel on Touhou fangames! ~ I appreciate you spreading Touhou to others. Your enthusiastic view on Touhou from your streams was what influenced me to look at the series. From there on, I fell in love with the vast amount of characters, music, literature, and fanworks.
I'm glad to have discovered the existence of ZUN, Touhou Project, the Touhou fandom, and Dylan Asprey.
Same
I've been waiting for this for SO LONG
This came at a great time, I've recently started to get into the series
I have been away from the Touhou fandom since shortly after LoLK came out and I've spent the last few weeks trying to get back into the fandom. However so much has changed and so many songs are gone. Things have felt off trying to get back in, but this helped to lift my spirits. I feel like I'm finding my way back into the fandom. Wish me fortune upon my adventure.
I just saw 7 minutes length and thought "he can never put enough information into 7 minutes". I stand corrected. Well done sir.
Hmm, I personally try to avoid to consume too many fan works except music circles. In the last one and a half year since I am aware and obsessing about Touhou I already collected a huge amount of doujin CDs for my shelf I'm pretty proud of.
But back to what I was wanting to write. The reason I avoid fanworks is because I don't want to bloat my mind with information that is not canon. That also applies to fangames to a certain extend. I stick to mainly playing the official games and printworks and have not enough time otherwise to play fangames.
Whatever fangames you going to throw at us. I am ready to learn and embrace them together with you on this channel! ♥
This was very helpful, I've been wanting to get into Touhou for years and this helped
4:38 Yes, Asprey, I agree that UN Owen sounds like Pure Furies.
I remember my very first exposure to Touhou being the Bad Apple music video, and I didn't even know that it was entirely based on Touhou let alone knowing that the song itself is based on an actual song from one of the games. I believe it was like 12 years ago when I heard it for the very first time since my sister used to listen to it a lot and I was just 6 years old, to this day even she doesn't know it was Touhou-related. And I learnt that fact just from listening to random SiIvaGunner rips that happened to have the song slapped onto it.
It was only 4 months ago that I started to take in how much of an impact that Touhou has on internet culture. Years of stumbling across remixes and memes of UN Owen, Lunar Clock/Flowering Night, and Beloved Tomboyish Girl, as well as hundreds of recreations of Bad Apple, have lead me to this moment where I finally gave in and step into the world of Gensokyo.
It's still insane and mind-boggling to me how self-sustaining this community is, and it's all thanks to ZUN as well for being so supportive of fanmade content.
To quote a RUclips comment that I found recently, Touhou is a series that has always been watching over internet culture since its early stages, and will always continue to do so, even if ZUN considers retiring any time soon, it can always sustain itself through countless fan works out there.
beatMARIO uploaded an MV called Internet Survivor, from the name alone you know what it's about
Man, watching gameplay of Touhou makes it look genuinely WAY more difficult than it actually is. The games do a fairly good job at slowly building up to the insane encounters used as background footage in this video, by the time you actually REACH those crazy fights you'll actually be able to do fairly well in them
here in 2023 this video is still very helpful! And I'm really excited to get into this series. What sparked my intrest was the taisei project which I found in the switch homebrew store! I look forward to your other videos and thank you for this info!
I just finished Touhou Luna Nights and loved it so much that I wanted to give the series a shot. Thanks for the great vid I have a much better understanding now!
Yes! I know a few people who were introduced to touhou project via luna nights too and im so happy about it because i absolutely love luna nights the fan-game. Please do give the series a shot, *your “shot”*
interested in hearing more about the fan games part of touhou since i hear they have a lot in japan but only a few actually make their way here
As moving from a shooter (master difficulties dominated during past years) and now discovering touhou as a beginner of bullet hell... I can say the game is really fun and challenging, it's indeed a masterpiece to try, but Lunatic difficulties really seem to be far on other level that I used to know from shooters, this game deserves to be known by more people
This was very informative on Touhou and had minimal fluff. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
If I had one slight complaint, it's that some of the voice clips were edited together poorly but 99% of the audience won't notice or care about that.
Thank you for making content that i adore.
All right, you convinced me. I'll try Touhou out
Well, if you're planning on giving Touhou a spin, would you mind terribly if I tried to throw you into the deep end of the pool by recommending the very impressive fanimations made by minusT? I highly recommend you to either play through the games or check some gameplay featuring the games/bosses featured in his animations, as well as possibly some combo exhibition clips from the fighting games, before you check his stuff out though... y'know, so you'll get a fuller appreciation for the amount of work he's put into his fanimations and stuff.
(In case you want a recommendation guide for minusT's stuff: Either play through or watch the Final Boss and Extra Boss fights from _Touhou 6: EoSC_ + a combo movie or two featuring Remilia before you check his "Reimu vs Remilia" and "Marisa vs Flandre" animations; watch someone play through the final stage of _Touhou 7: PCB_ before checking his "Reimu vs Yuyuko" animation and someone going up against _PCB's_ Phantasm Boss + a Yukari combo movie before checking the "Humans vs Yukari" animation; check a full playthrough of _Touhou 11: SA_ for his "Subterranean Stars" and "Brambly Boundaries" animations and then watch a playthrough of _Touhou 8: IN_ for an idea of his upcoming project.)
So, how's it going?
Have fun
So how was your time playing Touhou?
i recognize pretty much all the characters because of my aunt, she had posters and figures of the characters in her room when i was younger
THANK you. I finally had it with this, and had to look it up XDD
Super helpful! I started playing rhythm games at an arcade, and found a lot of songs are credited as tohou, and got curious!
I learned about Touhou from my favorite game Shanghai Genso Network which was a Touhou world based Megaman Battle Network game essentially that got taken down presumably by Capcom sadly as it was nearing completion for commercial sale at the end of December 2018
I love how the fan games are on the switch in every kind of genre
Even souls like
Great video, Dylan!
ty for making this lol i was and still kind of am still very confused on touhou's story, premise, purpose, etc. this is a great introduction video!
Tbh it is not that confusing, all I had to do when I was new to Touhou is immediately search if it has a wiki and it does, then search any character articles (I suggest to read Reimu Hakurei's article first because she is the MC) and it will bring you to other topics related to that character.
"Speaking of fans..." >cuts to Aya
Crafty bastard aren't ya? This one is a good intro to Touhou video, and I've seen a good few of them over the past decade. If you want a "no frills minimalist" short video to explain Touhou then this is the one! Good work!
I remember my very first introduction to touhou is a MIDI version of Cirno theme
wow nice
my one was Bad Apple MIDI im still trying to find that video in the one part theres a big bunch of red notes
For me, Windows Crazy Error back in 2009.
My first pseudo introduction was that one Ronald McDonald video all the way back in 2012 (although I still wouldn't know about the series existence until 2021)
thank u for this! i rlly didnt know what Touhou was but I like listening to the soundtrack it gives such a compliment to the singer voice so I got attached easily and the music helps me w studying i guess
I love you and this I radomly found one of the characters from the game and was trying to find more info about it and I wasn't able to thx you so much
See you at the next incident?
Don't joke around, Reimu will be in a mood to kick some ass and I don't wanna be there.
Also takeaway: seems like Undertale was heavily inspired by Tohou game play?
Yes, Asriel was inspired by Marisa (From Touhou 8 stage 4B)
Yes, even Toby Fox said his musics inspired from Touhou
I already knew this from being a Touhou fan since I was 9 years old, but since I recently joined the fandom again I decided to watch anyway as a refresher since I want to make fanwork of it that takes place in a different timeline from the official games. Thank you.
9? Damn I felt like I missed out since I didn't even get properly exposed to it until last year.
@@PeruvianPotato Really? I feel like 9 is a little early to join the thing personally. Also, I'm 15 right now, so you're not TOO far off.
Bro I remember being obsessed with touhou back in when I was 11, kinda forgot about it till now. I listened to the nights of nights remix and remembered about it
FINALLY, after all these years of hearing about it, I finally know what it is. Thank you.

Kids: Dad? What’s Touhou?
Me: *shows them this video*
Hi! I'm a new sub! And i'm glad i found this channel this video was really helpful tbh
I'm coming here from MentisWave, great RUclipsr with an affinity for TouHou lead me to seek out more info behind the IP.
This is a great introduction to the franchise and the creator behind it.
touhou is the friends we made along the way
“What is TouHou?”
Hell.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much!
No joke when I started with EoSD, I took physical notes on places, people, fanon, and canon. It actually helped quite a bit tbh

what the shit
I don't understand the content of the video, but I still finished watching this popular science video.
A Touhou Project gamer from China.
I had no idea what Touhou was but I got to know some songs, they're so catchy that I wanna get more of them. A few days ago, I downloaded almost (if not all) Touhou games to get started but I have yet to play. I had to read lots about it via Wikipedia and Touhou wiki to find out more. So thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the intro video !
