Title: Touhou Introduction Thread for Dummies.
Post by: beaver1231 on October 30, 2009, 03:08:25 PM

We should create a thread to introduce people to Touhou. "Spread the love of Touhou to the newcomers in the site!" is exactly what I'm thinking.

Arranged in no particular order...

Translated Video about 'What is Touhou':

*The picture you see here is safe. The ads in the website may not be safe-for-work. 2% of the website ain't SFW either. Take care.
**Unzan from Touhou 12 and the Unnamed Giant Catfish from 12.3 is not mentioned in the pic.
   Neither are the PC-98 characters from Touhou 1 Highly Responsive to Prayers to Touhou 5  Mystic Square.
   Here they are based on their official portrait art.

why leave the PC-98 characters out? :(
Other than this, nice initiative :D
