Who is your favorite Touhou character? Do any of you play the games or listen to arranges?
I like Youmu because she is cute and her boss theme is really catchy. Dualism is a central theme of her character. She is dorky but persistent, selfish but kind, half ghost but afraid of ghosts. In Touhou 09 she is randomly killing spirits wandering around because there isn't enough room in the netherworld for them, and then not too long later in the Three Fairies manga she is complaining about ghosts being mistreated when they are used to cool a watermelon. I also like that her name is written as "bewitching dream" (妖夢).

>Do any of you play the games or listen to arranges?
I'm moving away from being a filthy secondary.
I got a controller and have been giving the games serious tries the last week, but I still really suck and haven't beaten any of them on normal yet. I think my controller's d-pad is a bit poor and might not be the best for precision, but it works better than my keyboard. I avoid bombing, often losing all my lives without bombing once. It feels like an easy way out for something I could avoid.
2hu jazz and a few piano arranges have made up the majority of music on my phone for some time. I actual downloaded some albums today.
>Who is your favorite Touhou character?
My favorite seems to vary sometimes.
Mokou seems nice and fiery. Her design is pretty and cool. Theme music is good as well, a while into it, a xylophone-like melody plays quickly and sounds awesome..
I gave LoLK a quick try today on normal difficulty/pointdevice mode.
Pointdevice seems kinda neat in that I can quickly retry what I'm having difficulty with. It reminded me of the platformer Dustforce in that it's not aggravating when you fail: it simply drops you back at a checkpoint, but still makes you feel like aiming for a perfect run. It feels like its more for practicing after you fail constantly, so legacy mode would be for the serious tries.
I got stuck on what I think was Doremy's last spell card. I looked up a lunatic run and didn't notice any difference between the normal and lunatic difficulty of the card.

Tenshi because her personality is very similar to my own and I love her.
I played all of the main games and some of the spinoffs. Currently working on 1cc'ing IN on normal.

I haven't played the games, and I don't know too much about the characters' backgrounds. I've always been a fan of Reimu's design though. Red and white are a striking combination, and her hair tube things are cute. Also, best armpits.
It's funny that the costumes are so elaborate simply because ZUN is terrible at drawing the human body.

I'm terrible at Touhou, the farthest I've gotten is level 3 in EoSD. Supposedly many other games are easier, so perhaps I'd be able to beat them with some dedication. I love the music though, and I'm fond of these two for whatever reason.

Same here, but because I always think I'll need them more later.

Try PCB instead of EoSD. The latter might be a bit tricky for new players because your hitbox is invisible, so you should try to develop a "feel" for it first.
Ten Desires is the easiest one in the series imo so you might want to give that a try as well.
Remember these games aren't supposed to be completed easily in one run; try not to get frustrated. Persistence and memorization of the enemy shooting patterns are the key to success. Complete the game even if you have to use continues so you can play the stages in practice mode.

It's a tie between fiery immortal, and sickly witch. My fondness for them is entirely based on their aesthetic, and lore. I've seen a couple of the fan animations, and never played any of the games, but I want to.

Pretty much this, Reimu has the best art and it was the first thing that got me interested in this. I´ll read the manga and play the games soon, its been years since I played anything so its safe to assume im going to have a hard time even in easy mode. Reisen is cute too.

The fanbase makes a lot of derivative work and attracts its share of attention, to the point of people becoming fans despite not looking at the source material (i.e. Secondaries, fans of the fandom).
Give the games a try and learn about the characters.
If the games are too hard, keep practicing and look at some replays.

i've played most of the games, but never beat any of them. farthest i've gotten is up to youmu in PCB, so that's atleast something.
My favorite character is Nue, because to me she seems like someone who just doesn't care for rules and just wants to have fun.
her design is awesome too
i listen to the music/arranges aswell, it's what got me into Touhou in the first place. Shinigiwa Satellite is probably one of my favorite circles

God I love Yuugi.
And because I'm a huge speed/power metal fan, I've been listening to a lot of Demetori lately. I wish they had a cover of Yuugi's theme.

The first 30 or so seconds are just a calm intro, but it gets really good afterwards.

We have a Touhou thread? Noice.
> Who is your favorite Touhou character?
Izayoi easily. Always came off as interesting to me, and maid is a qt. Flowering Night is a great theme as well.
> Do any of you play the games or listen to arranges?
Right now, mainly trawling through the fangames and listening to the music. Some of the fangames music is fucking wonderful, Touhvania and FMW series coming to mind right away. Have all main games downloaded for when want to though. The print works are comfy as well.
