Look no further than Dog Fight, and the other videos this guy does

It's apparently made in Mikumikudance which is loving insane if true considering the limitations of that garbage program

I was going to say, there was no fox furry on the UI last I played that game. No accounting for taste I suppose.

On that note, Touhou did the fan remixing thing first and did it best in a lot of ways, ranging from:

The typical techno stuff
To metal.
Folksy jazz?
To experimental weird stuff.
To the full on orchestrated stuff.



But the best thing you can do is just play the games and promptly ignore 90% of fan produced content because Sturgeon's Law is just as much in effect for the stuff surrounding it as it is for everything else.

I hate most Touhou characters but Nuclear Yatagarasu is actually pretty cool and original as far as designs go.

Because all of them look like they were done by an autistic 10-12 year old who was trying to do the right thing, and only knows how to draw teh characters from his favourite cartoons.

Touhou is probably the least fanservicey bullet hell shooter ever though???

The entire premise is humans and demons being absolute shits to each other. And then at the end of every game, they all have a tea party / binge drink while watching the flowers

If you're judging by the fanbase, well, nothing is sacred in that case I'm afraid

Touhou 8 and 13 are pretty much the most beginner-friendly ones if you're not into shmups in the first place, and of the two 8's basically the better game.

This artist is Koto Inari, by the way. Used to do really typical art until late February 2015. Nothing terrible, just kind of generic Deviant Art level art.



Then everything got so much better.










Still, the best art tends to involve a darker background if only for her use in lighting.

Yeap, play eight. It even has a forgiveness mechanic where if you get hit, you have a window frame to emergency bomb your way to safety, which can be pretty nice when it comes to learning some of the patterns.

I dug around and found the artist's tumblr. You can dig if you like, but the majority of it appears to be Touhou at the moment.

From a quick look though, seems to have a bit of a thing for Splatoon though.




And there's some works that I aren't Touhou, but I'm not sure if they're fan art of anything in particular.




One more Touhou one for the road though.

That top one's Touhou, and the second one might also be Touhou. I say this because of the hats, those look like Touhou hats. Touhats.

I really like this one, it's real fuckin' dark, but so are the two characters

(they are immortal in the most extreme case, literally unbound to the laws of the universe and if they die they just reset to their normal state, as in they can never die or escape existence, even past the heat death of the universe, so in their boredom/hatred for each other they just murder each other until the end of time)

More like Japanese folklore is weird, what with the whole "anything that exists long enough becomes a yokai" poo poo. Something unexplainable? Doesn't matter what it is, yokai did it.

Provides a hell of a wide variety of weird bullshit to pull from when making characters though, and ZUN is just taking it to the logical conclusion by taking more recent stuff and applying that same mentality as ancient japan did.
