Can you please tell me what a touhou is?

Touhou is a bullet hell shooter game that started all the way back from the PC-98 days in Japan which was developed by a one-man team named Team Shanghai Alice.

The guy is named Zun who in which the only person that coded, created the music out of MIDI files, and as well the artwork (hence people call it Zun Style due to inaccurate anatomy or funky/meme looking faces). Oh yeah! He loves drinking beer so much that he has his own beer refinery in his own basement.

The community itself is huge as they have an official convention dedicated to Touhou where Zun attends, as usual, to meet up the fans and cosplayers. The music contains MANY and I mean MANY remixes of any kind of genre you could find from the theme songs of certain characters to maps/menu themes. There are also fan games too which cover almost any kind of genre out there from racing to fighting games. You can view some of the games that the community made which Vinny from Vinesauce has covered. The games are weird though but fun at the same time. 

Speaking of fighting games, they are also part of the “official” line up of the Touhou games but added the “.5″ mark by the releases such as for example as Touhou 15 and Touhou 15.5. Those games are not made by Zun but were developed by a different company which composed of remixes of songs as well as incredible artwork of the characters. There is also a fan game called Touhouvania which was a reskin (IIRC) of the Castlevania games in which they also have a dedicated community as well!! So pretty much a community within a community. 

Often times, people have mistaken Touhou as an anime rather a video game which that is somewhat true! There is indeed an anime of the Touhou series but it is actually fan made such as the Memories of Phantasm mini-series. The original has no voices at all but the community itself fandubbed them which comes to the conversations of people thinking it’s an anime due to the studio looking quality as well voice acting from the fan-made animations. 

Now for the saucy or spicy or lewd content of Touhou. Well, they pretty much covered all they need to cover such as NTR, hand holding, femdom, BDSM and so forth. When I mean they covered all of it, I do mean it. Due to all the spicy stuff, there comes with the generic people which they call them Sin Sacks. I honestly view them as the people of the Touhou Community that loves smut of them. 

The memes, the glorious/beautiful memes of Touhou. There are so many of them dedicated to the Touhou meme such as the infamous Ran Ran Ru video (fun fact, that video got me into the Touhou Series). There is also another meme/cool video which is Bad Apple where MANY people are aware of due to an amazing song as well as a really cool animation. There is “Take it Easy”, Chen’s Honking, Sakuya’s Pads (a really old meme from the 2000s), Cirno’s Perfect Math Class, Easy Modo and many more. 

Oh yeah, there is only 3 or 2 males while the thousand of the characters are MAINLY female. Talk about the harem life of those guys LOL. 

I could go more but this answer was way too long so I recommend watching this video explaining all the history and facts/doo-dads of what the heck Touhou is. It’s a really great video btw!
