Touhou Doujin Anime with Mai Nakahara and Rie Tanaka!

And so begins the copypasta. As we’ve heard from ANN, as well as a few more sources, it looks as if everyone’s favourite shirine-maiden-starring danmaku game that involves moon rabbits and NUKE-TAN is going to finally get an anime. While it looks as if a doujin anime was already produced (stupid doujin-hating MAL mods; sorry, but you’ll have to bear with a YouTube link), I get the feeling that there’s somewhat of a “THERE IS NO TOUHOU ANIME” vibe around it, so I’ll refrain from discussing it any further. All I know is that it hasn’t been subbed, otherwise I would have just watched it for the lulz.

…But I digress. According to our information sources, which by this point I can only assume to be true, it appears as if the doujin circle Maikaze is seriously going to be making this OVA, professional seiyuu cast and all, and it’ll be sold at C75. Excited? Then again, who isn’t? All I know is, this had better not be some kind of stupid December Fool’s joke.

PC-98 Touhou – This stuff isn’t half bad

 

Over a decade after the launch of a certain infamous series of danmaku games (which, ironically enough, didn’t even start as danmaku), I think it’s safe to say that just about every otaku has at least heard of ZUN’s endeavours in the world of doujin soft and the production of arguably one of the best shmup series ever made. From the intensity of capturing trying to capture Yukari’s Boundary of Life and Death, to the heart-pounding conclusion of every 1cc run where you clear the last pattern with zero lives and zero bombs, and even to the fanboys constantly arguing over whether Marisa should be paired with Reimu or Alice, Touhou has, through some means or another, become a staple in otaku culture. However, there’s a certain little part of the series that people tend to forget; those five SNES-style games that started it all.
