Touhou is da best! That music is just so astounding, both in quality and in sheer quantity of fanworks.

And surprisingly, ZUN has remarkable character design skills, although his original art is...of questionable quality.

Fortunately, he has legions of fanartists across the internet producing loads and loads of fantastic fan art that really brings out the awesomeness of Touhou's characters. The whole concept of Touhou itself revolves around providing a good creative base for the fandom to explore and build upon, which is a risky concept, although it has succeeded insanely well for such a risky maneuver. No one really knows how Touhou became so popular, but Touhou is definitely addicting <3

One drawback about the series, however, is that it is rather difficult to discern what is canon amongst all the fanwork that exists, and it takes a while for new fans to really catch on and figure out what Touhou is exactly (not an anime!)

But anyway, I'm done ranting about Touhou's godliness, and I appreciate you creating a thread for this ;)
