Who's Touhou?

No shit

2hus have the backing of unsalvagable autists, Fate/Kancolle/Kemono are backed by companies ready to pull the plug the second they stop making gorrillions.

>>386583284
Touhou as a series will die when ZUN dies, and the fandom will last for a generation after that at least

>>386584286
What if his kids take over? What if they make Orin playable?

>>386585063
I don't know a time where a child has taken their parent's torch on something creative and it worked out in the end. If the kids are going to do anything with it they're going to sell it off somewhere for a lot of cash so they can be set for life

>>386585063
Not even ZUN's kid could take his place.

As long fans still care enough to continue making fan art, doujins, music remixes or whatever, none of these series will ever die.

>>386586213
Aren't they too young to be drinking alcohol?

>>386586330
Reimu and Marisa actually aging is debateable. Despite the events taking place on the years the games release, Reimu and Marisa maintain the same appearance and people are theorizing they may have become something other than human, either intentionally or indirectly

>>386586695
But in that art style a 13 year old is going to look very similar to an 18 year old so they could still be aging,

>>386586914
There is a 16 year difference between EoSD and TH16

>>386587024
Given the information we are given thats correct, but ZUN's artsyle forms the basis for the character designs so regardless of their age they are going to be cute looking girls so theres no real way to know. Nobody ever really calls Reimu or Marisa by any terms that would give away their current ages either.

is touhou the MLP of the weeb world?

>>386587651
Not really no.

>>386587857
are you sure?

>>386583284
Touhou is the epitome of "game kept alive by the fan content"
The actual game's art is abysmal and the artist hasn't ever improved, and the gameplay alone, while solid, isn't the kind of gameplay that would keep the series alive for this long. It's entirely the fan art.

>>386583284
Granblue is already dying down so you're right.

>>386587651
No, Kememe Furries is.

>>386587024
that makes no sense
some games take place in the same year as others, like how mof takes place in fall of one year and sa the winter right after

>>386586695
ZUN said that time in Gensokyo passes differently than real life and that he deliberately wants to avoid revealing their ages. In other words they're gonna remain young forever just because he wants to.

Yukari however will always remain a saggy boobed old hag.

I hope someday these memes stop.

>>386588308
but how did the fanart start in the first place?

hint: it's the game's music that made it popular, the whole craze started thanks to U.N Owen Was Her.

>>386588849
Nigger half the reason why there's so much fan art is due to ZUN being a trash artist.

>>386588923
Why would that be a reason?

>>386588923
That's wrong and you know it.

>>386589163
And where did you get that the bad art IS the reason people want to make fanart? Hell people imitate ZUN's style a lot like the popular video maker kamS.

People make fanart of something because they like it, I mean there's already better looking official art because ZUN hires artists for the fighting games and the manga.

How can a miko be this lewd and still keep her job?!

>>386590415
Yeah but the first three tend to at least have SOME popularity, especially Cirno.

>>386590519
EoSD cast is popular because they are in EoSD. If Cirno and Rumia were in SA or DDC instead of EoSD they wouldn't be nearly as popular.

>>386590415
the stage 4 bosses from th14 are the most forgotten touhous ever from the windows era, even the aki sisters are more prominent.

>>386583284
What are you talking about? Touhou died after Ten Desires.

>>386590519
Everything EoSD related is popular, but Patchy Sakuya and Remilia get way more than Rumia and Meiling
7 has Alice in the first half but she's PC-98, and Chen is a meme
No one in 8's first half is popular outside Kiene and her relationship to Mokou but that isn't as strong as Mokou's relationship with Kaguya
Name the Aki sisters I dare you
TH11 is also forgettable compared to those living with Satori
TH12 has Kosaga who is more popular than everyone who isn't Byakyuren in that game so I'll give you that.
TH13 is forgettable allround but Yuyuko is in it so that's kinda cool
Seija and Sukuna are the only notable characters in 14
Either if you like Sagume's plot relevance or the Moon Hating trio of Junko Clownpiece and Hecatia, they all blow the stage 1-3 bosses out of the water

WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS MY WIFE UP THERE

>>386590928
And, you know, Cirno keeps reappearing including multiple playable appearances to the point where she's one of the most popular characters in the series overall. Chen, Keine, Nitori, Parsee, Kogasa, Nazrin, Kagerou, Sekibanki are also pretty popular too though not as much as her.

>>386591073
>and Chen is a meme
Don't just discard her like that, espeially since Cirno is also a meme.
>but she's PC-98
As if that mattered.

Remove boatshit from the premises

>>386591035
That's like saying DMC died after 2.

>>386584286
I am not sure, its not like even 1% of the "fanbase" plays the games.

>>386586695
As if ZUN was a good enough artist to accurately convey the character's age with his art.

>>386591420
I'd say about 25% of the fanbase has a Normal 1cc in at least 1 game

>>386591420
The music aspect is what made Touhou so popular in the first place and the arrange albums sold at Reitaisais, Kouroumus and Comikets range in the hundreds per event. Without new music the popularity would certainly take a hit, though people are still making arranges of old songs every event.

>>386591541
and I'd say you are completely wrong. The majority of Touhou fans haven't even touched the game, and thosr that have a lot of them played for one stage and when they got fucked just went back to not playing. A 1cc is a lot of work and requires a good amount of skill.

Plus launch day streams on nico for new games are super popular so everyone gets their dose of canon, it's how pairings like Reisen x Junko happen after all, the line that made it happen happens after you beat the Extra stage boss.

>>386591073

>Hina and Nitori
>Not popular

>>386591589
Also the fact that some older music circles actively avoid touching older music so new music can get attention and newer groups can make their own versions of the older sogs

>touhou will never die.
Why do you come here everyday to try to resucitate this garbage then? why dont you crawl back to your shithole and revell in your own shit like in the "good days"?

That's right, because while Kancolle, Kemono and Fate have a limited shelflife something else will come and take it's place while touhou wil continue to fade away. I know it's fucking hard for you autists types but at least make the effort and let that shit go.

>>386592141
Touhou may not be what it was in say 2008 but it's still got a base 9 years later

>most popular anime
>fading away

>>386592141
Touhou is still the most popular series at Comiket after Kancolle with far more circle entries than other series.

>>386592141
