could someone explain this to me? I've played a bunch of them but other than "bullet hell good" I don't even know what there is to fixate on, and I never see people talking about the actual games
People mostly focus on fanworks, music, and character designs/interactions. The gameplay is a standard bullet hell, but thats a lower focus. Many fans of Touhou don't even play the games and just read the dialogue on fan wiki sites. Its popular for being made by one man whos very open to fan stuff
The next you have a crippling lifelong hyperfixation with a series in a genre you aren't really good at, a shelf dedicated to expensive plushies, your bank account loses a digit, and a Japanese doujin series becomes half your personality
I kinda glanced off of this particular hyperfixation.
...of course, I landed smack in the middle of factory-building games being my major hyperfixation, with Factorio alone having 6000 hours logged since I got it in (checks steam purchase history) 2017.
2000+ hours in both DSP and Satisfactory too.
Okay, so: Near the start of the industrial revolution- This is not a joke, Touhou lore starts at mentioning the industrial revolution.- the gods, fairies, youkai, etc created a pocket dimension to survive because humans started stopping believing in them, this was for surv- wait text limit give me m
Okay but this is me right now because I've been watching like a bajillion Bad Apple memes and I actually kind of want to know what the series is about. But I don't even know where to start.

Zero regrets.

I believe TouHou 10: Mountain of Faith is generally considered a good starting place for beginners, but 6 is the most well known game
It also hosts a ton of fan games
But the songs are bangers tho
