Touhou is NOT an anime!
« on: July 10, 2009, 10:08:16 AM »
Recently, somebody wrote AGAIN a comment on a Touhou video asking which anime this is. After freaking out, I came to the idea of making a video, in which Touhou fans say "Touhou is NOT an anime!" in several languages. I'm pretty sure that this idea will died rather quickly because nobody's interested, but I thought I'd try it anyways.

I could do the German phrase BTW.

I understand your frustration but do you really think it would work? Also I don't quite the problem either. The question: What anime/manga would be most common as generally most of the time they are anime or manga.

Though I could help with the Dutch and Turkish phrase =P

One, don't assume that, bad. Two, Touhou IS an anime now, technically. Three, go on, Touhoes must be multilingual.
Regarding score threads: For the time being, I'm not going to be online much; I would suggest that you simply do as you normally do, because I will come back and I will want those threads when I do.

@Helepolis:
I'm not like "If we are gonig to do this, nobody will post a comment like that anymore". I just thought it might be a funny idea. I was never the person who thinks before he talks.

@lgb:
Yeah, NOW. But even before Maikaze we had comments like this.

I really don't think half the Touhou "fans" would touch the actual games with a 29 1/2 pole, so

I think you are taking it all bit too serious. Touhou fandom is weird and make no sense at all. Most people say words like "cute" or "adoreable" at a certain touhou video and they get bashed/flamed like crazy. But sometimes they don't.

Same goes for the FANON/CANON among characters. People bash you for Marisa x Patchouli stuff while others love it.

I would say: Take it easy.

What the topic said, i agree with KomejiKoishi,
touhou is not an anime.

There is seriously a wrong conception about Touhou, we shld change that.

After all, only cool kids who have awesome reflexes play touhou...

Yeah, that's 'cause we had TPSS.

Anyway, I really think you shouldn't let the ignorant masses get to you like this.  Half the people who ask "What anime is this?" to Touhou videos are probably trolls who know it's not an anime anyway...

Ya, dat is truuu!
The shiny shiny rushed me IaMP like a bullet but it took me a LONG time to dare the shooters,myself. In the end it was Ant's fault I actually did:
"Hey bro, I just got pwnt by China  :smug:"
And then I just had too, and it was awesome cause I really love them now.

Nobody understands the languages I can provide. More correctly, the people who do understand those languages WILL assume Touhou is an anime regardless should they ever gain interest in the first place.

You should do what I do and almost completely avoid Touhou fandom. This is also a fairly good course of action with just about any other fandom too, since most of them are fairly unbearable. Or you could find a relatively small group of people whom you can still talk about your interests to.

Also, stop reading Youtube comments.

I just don't think you can appreciate ZUN's true genius. Invading the moon to steal some sake? Absolutely flawless.

There's more than SSiB though, SaBND and EaLND are a much better and fairly enjoyable read, and show Gensokyo as the carefree, peaceful place it really is.

Probably not. But I haven't really read that one. InabaXInaba kinda took away all my wish to dwelve in further on in official/pseudo-official stuff. I'm safer just dodging bullets

I have no problem with people asking about Touhou and mistaken it for an anime if they never heard of the series whatsoever (as is, they JUST found out about the game through that video). They have no knowledge about it whatsoever. You can't really blame them =/.

Now it's the people who DO KNOW about Touhou, are completely aware of the series, and STILL call it an anime.

Isn't there a video on someone who called it an anime and said that Touhou sucks?

All of this was caused by Marisa Stole the Precious Thing. You can literally link the entire fandom explosion back to when MSTPT got posted on 4chan's /f/ and then made its way over to YouTube. All you need to do is convince IOSYS to make a song called "Touhou is not an anime" with an accompanying flash, and BAM! Everyone will believe it. Baka baka.

I more thought about recording with a webcam or camera pointing into the camera and saying "Touhou is NOT an anime!" in the language. But it's just an idea...
BTW, you and I are the only ones who actually agreed. The rest is just arguing.

I don't feel like taking it too serious either but on the other hand it could be fun though. Even if we don't care it will still bait those little kids who will take the video too serious and start whining/flaming.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it that much, at least YOU know it's not an anime and when you get down to it, that's really all that matters.

Just my opinion.

And here I thought I was the only one who thought about Iosys.
Yes, the only way to ever get people to understand that it's not an anime, would be if Iosys made a flash about it.

When I think about it, it could actually be pretty awesome. I can picture it just right now.
