I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Anime, is in fact, Touhou Project Doujinishi Danmaku Game/Fan art, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Touhou Project Doujinishi Danmaku Game plus Fan art. Touhou is not an "anime" unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning self published franchise made popular by the danmaku genre (bullet hell), doujinishi comics and fan art images comprising a popular franchise, as defined by gaming otaku worldwide.

Many anime artists draw a modified version of the "Momiji Inubashiri" meme every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Momiji Inubashiri which is widely used today is often called "AWOO", and many of its fans are not aware that it is basically the Momiji Inubashiri character, developed by the Touhou Project Doujinishi Danmaku Game.

There really is a fanmade anime, and these people have seen it, but it is just an unofficial part of the Touhou Project Doujinishi Danmaku Game they use. Momiji Inubashiri is the kernel: the official character in Touhou Project that inspired the "AWOO" meme and other popular images that you repost on 4chan.org. The Momiji Inubashiri character is an essential part of the meme, but useless by herself; she can only function in the context of a stage 4 miniboss in the Touhou Project Doujinishi Danmaku Game. "AWOO" is normally used in combination with Momiji Inubashiri: the whole meme is basically Momiji Inubashiri with Awoo added, or Momiji Inubashiri/AWOO. All the so-called "Anime" pictures of AWOO are really just fan made illustrations of Momiji Inubashiri/AWOO.
