So much love for those costumes.

I've seen this fandom around, but I haven't been able to get from casual internetting what it's all about. Any fans wanna pique my curiosity?

THIS is what the games are like (very fun when you get into them though)
Link if video doesn't show: http://www.youtube.com/embed/xl17uhqSuqc (and tons of related ones, just picked an extra stage at random)

Other than the vids with gameplay I assumed anon posted, they're characters from a series of bullet-hell shmups with catchy music. Instead of being a ship, you're a magical girl shooting magical lazer beams!

The fandom is huge, not just due to the games being fun/frustrating to play, because of it being ripe with interestingly designed characters without being overly detailed regarding personality, so it's perfect for fanwork.

First and foremost, Touhou is a GAME. Don't let anybody or anything tell you otherwise. More specifically, it's a shooter game where you shoot women or girls with lots and lots of bullets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDC5LHRz7fI

Due to a surprising combination of amazing fans, amazing music and the creator's outright approval of fanmade stuff, the Touhou series have become the most creative and downright devoted fandoms I've ever seen. (Oh, and just so you know, the games are independent, created by only one person.)

Here is an orchestral fan-remix of one of the music pieces from the game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r67cv-GthLU

Here is a 3D fan-remix of a Boss Fight in the 6th game of the series : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTA4X3Z1OZw

Here is a fan-made ANIME based on the:
6th, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTe1JMTlwwc
11th, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALVUbBv1z4I
8.5th, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLJxhZ2Dhag&feature=related
and 8th game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb16UOIOris&feature=relmfu

The creator of the games specifically said "NO OFFICIAL ANIME!" Leaving the fans to... well, make their own.

And that's it!

Wow, I have no idea what's going on in that gameplay video, but it is mesmerizing.

[al28894]

Simply put, you are the girl at the bottom. You must shoot all the enemies (including the girl at the top) while evading all their bullets.

It's like Space Invaders, just replace the aliens with characters from Japanese mythology. And yes, it's mesmerizing

[(Anonymous)]

Keep in mind that's also a late-game stage on the absolute hardest difficulty.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a top-down bullet hell series set in a feudal-Japanese magical kingdom, where youkai in the shape of cute girls cause trouble and cute human girls deal with this by shooting them in the face to gorgeous music.
