Showed a little IN Lunatic to a few mainstream movie aficionado friends.
Them: 'WTF THIS IS JUST LIKE GALAGA. This shit sucks, back to Black Ops.'
Me: 'What are you even saying? Galaga lacks spellcards. :V'
Them: 'You said it was made by one guy?'
Me: 'Yep.'
Them: 'No wonder why it's shit then.'
Showed another closer friend of mine some SWR and MOF.
Him: Nice.
*switches to Touhou GTA + San Andreas Carmageddon (see my YT for a vid)*:
Him: ...:getdown: I'm seriously getting this! This is just TOO good! :V
Hasn't quite gotten into the series yet though.
>complain about repetitiveness of shmups
>go play some more black ops
I have tried to recruit others, but everyone I show Touhou to sort of makes this face like I'm showing them Hitler's baby pictures and says something like "Doesn't this hurt your eyes?" or "Ugh turn down the volume on that."
Should I join the Anime club solely to see how many people actually know about Touhou?Honestly, that's part of the reason I did it :P
(No.)
They reacted in unison when seeing: "lol space invaders"
children these days...

Little sister: I almost beat hard mode without continuing(in th06)!

Play MoF, UFO and Ketsui in some Internet cafe"Wow ... that's a lot of bullets"
Show TD!Yuyuko to Korean friends, who are also avid gamers"dood how the fuck did you see through everything"
Show SA and Guwange to group of friends"ew weird ass nippon bullshit"
*sees game*
"No wonder it was made by a drunk guy" - friend everyone else.
Well derp. Kinda friend/cousin's reaction (not sure about the relationship LOL)that is probably the most terrible way to introduce someone to touhou, ever
Me: Wanna play some games for a while?
Him: OK
*opens up 12.3 and hands over a gamepad, explains the buttons*
After a while of playing, he goes raging since I never let him win
>Accuses me of playing girly games because all characters are girls
that is probably the most terrible way to introduce someone to touhou, ever
Well i got gammaraptor here addicted to Touhou (true story) and i usually get pissed off since people keep going OMFG Y U SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!!! on level one normal mode.Hence, posted in "Touhou Addict Recovery Center." Lol.... stage 1. I think they've seen me play enough for them to say that on stage 6 normal xD. Every time someone gets me addicted to something, I get someone else addicted. Eg. Minecraft, I find out how to setup servers, 7ish people start playing. Still are.
my friend from high school knew about touhou due to my unhealthy obsession, but he was indifferent toward it. he did like some arranges, though. my other, more internet-savvy friend knew about touhou without me needing to show it to him, but he's uninterested. whenever i show him something like the reimu vs. okuu 3d dogfight, he just remarks that touhou is really weird, but we get along really well.
when i would play touhou during computer classes, it would basically go like
person: are those things even hurting you
me: no i haven't been hit yet
person: geez
tl;dr neutral reactions basically
oh yeah, my 7-year-old brother loves to play the games even though he doesn't understand anything that's happening. we play pofv and soku now and then, he likes "the ghost sword girl"
isn't it interesting that when people are affected by someone saying "you must have no life" it generally encompasses you having no comeback, and kind of sounds like "stop pointing it out" rather than anything else lol
oh yeah, my 7-year-old brother loves to play the games even though he doesn't understand anything that's happening. we play pofv and soku now and then, he likes "the ghost sword girl"YAY YOUMU!
One of my guy friends likes Mario, so I thought I would tell him about Touhou, and show him it
Classmate 2: What's Galaga?Oh dear. And I thought the 'Touhou = Galaga' comparison my friends made was bad, but that they even don't know what Galaga is...they must not be even casual gamers.

I get loads of mixed reactions when I play these games D: Majority being "HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY THAT!?" or "THATS INSANEEEEE" from most friends with a few exceptions...
Friend1: Eh, you only need to move a little bit... ok, maybe a lotta bit O.O (EOSD, Remilia Normal)
Friend2: Harder than Iwbtg? (PCB, Yukari stage, failing over and over...)
Friend3: Get a life, seriously, play on the PS3 or something .-. (Back then, not much of a friend now ^^" Can't remember what I was playing)
Boyfriend: LOOOOOOL You suck at this (IN, Failing Keine on Normal D:)
Brother: Let meee have a try D: -plays against Letty on Normal, gets owned- K I don't wanna play this anymore... (PCB, Letty, Normal)
Mum: I don't like you playing these games -.- (SA, Utsuho on Easy modo, furious temper roaring after about 30 continues)

but the synth music is not to his liking.ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS ZUNPET / SD-90 ROMANTIC TP.
Brother: Stop playing that faggot ass shit *pushes power button*
I find it odd that I am so quick to call the denouncers of a Japanese all-girl cast bullet hell shooter full of magic and whatnot closeted homosexuals.Did he beat letty?
Sorry for that.
My brothers actually take a liking to it.
Disbelieve me if you will, but on his first try, my brother managed to no-focus perfect his way to Letty on Lunatic Mode :<
I don't know what to make of it
Find them and kiss them.
My Japanese teacher is much cooler though, I brought it to show her and we ended up having an epic match to the death on Hisoutensoku and trying to 1CC SA. My brother is likewise cool and one friend used to be as completely obsessed as I am. :3Wish I ever had a teacher like that :|

''This shit's easy'' Perfect Cherry Blossom, Hard Mode.It's funny, that's the excuse people use for black ops.
Me: Fine then you try it.
Him: Nah, looks boring as hell.
"Wtf, no wonder you say she's like May! (Guilty Guear. I was playing against Murasa)":getdown: :getdown: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZDlNh4aMSM)
They prefer the fighters, though, because it's a bit less froreign to them.Not surprised about that much, considering what seems to be a GG/BB circle of friends you've got there. :V

She was an avid vocaloid fan so i told her that the popular song "BadApple!!" Originated from the older Touhou games and was infact not a original vocaloid song.bad apple isn't even sung by a vocaloid what the shit
My friends said Touhou is stupid and dumb. It made me pissed, considering all they talk about is bands and Andy Sixx and stuff.hook line and sinker you dummy
bad apple isn't even sung by a vocaloid what the shit
Sometimes when friends ask what games i play I'd show them touhou.
Their Reactions:
-How do you play this?
-What the hell?
-Why do you play this?
-Oh...
-How do you dodge that stuff?
-THATS SO COOL!!!!11!1
I even got one crazy shall a say "Weeaboo type" friend to over react about the game. Now long story short, shes someone who doesn't like when someone can do something better than her such as play harder video games ... All though Touhou isn't that hard at times. She proceeded to say that the game looked stupid and easy and such. I told her to give it a try then and she made excuses not to.
She was an avid vocaloid fan so i told her that the popular song "BadApple!!" Originated from the older Touhou games and was infact not a original vocaloid song. She denyed it. So i showed her the original. She then proceeded to say that vocaloid came before touhou. Yep. So i just kinda gave up at that point. Haha yet I think she does have plans to cosplay Reimu, I don't know why though. It would seem she hated the touhou series.
Ah well, i don't know why I wasted time typing that up. :wikipedia: Just thought it was a nice story to tell. Not that I'm one of those people who act all ' ARG YOU HATE A GAME I LIKE?! YOU MUST BURN IN HELL' I constantly make fun of touhou. Shes just.... one of those people. I do hope she dosen't come to this site anytime soon haha.
I did convert a friend though. Although, she isint any good at Touhou shes more into the music and fanart ...
You usually have better chances converting a guy into touhou. Most of the times they are the ones saying it looks pretty cool.
Well, if you had actually hit that girl, I wouldn't even be surprised >_> Those people, they think they know about anime and such just because they've seen or heard half a conversation >_> i'm okay if she doesn't like touhou, but I seriously hate it when people don't aknowledge that touhou, despite being a doujin game, is a great game that has made a huge impact in the animeverse (despite not being even anime) and gameverse >_>
it should really be pretty easy to prove her wrong though

She is really annoying at times. I do try to keep her out of Touhou now, (I still don't understand why she'd want to cosplay someone from a game she dosen't like but okay.) It is hard to keep her from shutting up though. I'd sometimes be listening to touhou music on my headphones in our computer class and she would say "OH LISTENING TO TOUHOU AGAIN?! YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS!" and then proceed to take over my computer and change it to say... one of her songs.
vocaloid fans will be vocaloid fans. let her be, you'd never win. (talking from experience)Well, not all vocaloid fans are weabos. Most of 'em are, though.
Though, when I showed my friends touhou music, a lot of different reactions came out. Some people said stuff like "This is actually pretty good music...But all of this is too flashy" , and some, on the other hand, said things like "OMG WHAT'S THAT IS THAT CHINEEEEEESE?!"this. so much.
this. so much.Well, once I *tried* showing some rock touhou music to my friends, and it ended up like this:
I remember someone once laughingly told me about a guy who listened to "chinese metal". Since then, I hide my touhou obsession from anyone but those whom I trust. The rest isn't ready for it... yet.
vocaloid fans will be vocaloid fans. let her be, you'd never win. (talking from experience)A lot of the vocaloid fans I've seen recently can't tell it's vocaloid unless there are characters in their field of vision while the song is playing.
anyways since im at a boarding school, my room mate keeps telling me i should stop playing that "stupid game"and get out of my room.
Its a sunday, what's up with him? im not bothering anyone with it, i even wear earphones to hear the music which he calls "lame".
Well, once I *tried* showing some rock touhou music to my friends, and it ended up like this:
"...mary, what's this?"
"You just listen~ *places cellphone with music in the seat*"
"NO WAIT THIS IS CHINESE! *proceeds to snap the fuck out and throw my cellphone in the air*"
My cellphone wouldn't turn on after that. Yeah, some people tend to have a narrow view of the world =/ (don't ask me how they knew it was oriental music, it sounds just the fucking same)
>Chinese textMost of the time you can't tell the difference unless you look for very specific differences like the abnormal amount of "の" I tend to see in song titles.
>Japanese text
Man, I can't even READ either and I still know the difference. Also, overreaction much?
Most of the time you can't tell the difference unless you look for very specific differences like the abnormal amount of "の" I tend to see in song titles.japanese sentences have hiragana/katakana, two japanese alphabets, so to speak, which consist of really simple characters. Chinese sentences don't. It's unlikely that somebody confuses them unless it's a really short sentence.
I haven't tried showing my friends east music yet, I don't want to end up looking like I know shit about music.
japanese sentences have hiragana/katakana, two japanese alphabets, so to speak, which consist of really simple characters. Chinese sentences don't. It's unlikely that somebody confuses them unless it's a really short sentence.I'm sorry, I assumed these song names were mostly kanji with little to no hiragana/katakana.
Then again, how would they know :V
Though you've got to admit, "just pure potty" is one of the best insults in the history of everything. It combines creativity and alliteration in a humorous way that still conveys the gravity of the insult. Well played, sir. Well played. :justasplanned:
Most of my friends don't really pay attention to my playing Touhou. They watch for a bit, then go back to their regular conversations. Not that I play Touhou in public often (don't like bringing my laptop everywhere) but still.
Depends on the friend. Some of them are "Holy *beep*, you can dodge that?"
The rest... well, the first card they saw was "Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension"". Which, of course, looks like a swastika if you've never heard of a manji. So now they call Touhou characters "Nazi lolis." ::)
Back when I went to school roughly 1-2 hours before class starts, I used to play touhou on my friend's laptop a lot. Usually 12.5 or the ten desires demo. People would come watch for a bit and some would ask how that's possible. It's just mesmerizing sometimes. (when I'm not dying a lot on stage 1)
Why that early to school? o.o"Crazy college professor fails anyone who is late eight times.
I just corrupted my 5 year old cousin. :3
He wants me to bring me laptop over his house everyday so we can play UNL on the big screen.
Me: So, which difficulty do you think you're suited for? (Easy modo! Easy modo!)
Her: Hm... LUNATIC! I'mma lunatic, right? So it ought'a be easy for me, yeah?
Me: Mm.. sure. Totally, wouldn't doubt it. (You're so screwed.)
~In game~
Her: NO! NO!! DO SOMETHING, UWAA! I CAN'T DODGE THESE, AAAAH, WHAT DO I PRESS? HOLY MOTHER OF MUSHROOMS (haha~) THIS IS TOO HARD! I'LL GO ON EASY, NOOOOOO!
Me: Chill.
~Easy modo~
Her: Th-this is still too hard!! How do I shoot? What are those green things, how do I use them? AAH! Boss fight, no!! No, oh wait, here's the bomby. Wooooo! Bomb again!! Haha, die!! W-what?! I can't use anymore bombs?! HELP ME!!
Me and my little cousin play Hisoutensoku on my laptop at the same time, crammed in on separate keys and usually ending up playing a Touhou version of Twister.
My little cousin always plays as Suwako "'cos she's cute and little and goes boiyoyoyoyoyoing~!" and I play as Utsuho, as she is the closest character to Orin in the game.
She tends to scream when I unleash Mega Flare or Giga Flare or even the C attack in which Utsuho fires some sort of triangle-y shaped ball of death with a black centre.
I have yet to teach her the basics of top-down shooters. Basic scenario of the first time.
Me: So, which difficulty do you think you're suited for? (Easy modo! Easy modo!)
Her: Hm... LUNATIC! I'mma lunatic, right? So it ought'a be easy for me, yeah?

Bear in mind... this was Imperishable Night. The easiest game IMO.
"This ain't a shooting game this a game for weirdos"you're just as bad as him, you fool
"then go play your call of duty shithead... Those games suck."
>at what is presumably high school library, looking up touhou picturesI leave yukkuri pictures on the school library computers.
why would you do this
ME: *looking up Touhou fan pics*
Teacher: *sneaks up behind me*
ME: *scrolls down only to find a picture of Reimu, Yukari, Marisa, and Remilia in bikinis*
Teacher: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
ME: *freaks out*
Friend who was sitting next to me: Pervert.
ME: *Dies inside*

I live in Australia
That should tell you how much of a reaction I get
A country with about five Touhou fans
My mum, who despises games usually, likes the soundtracks and me playing the easier ones on flute, at least.
My Japan-loving friend Zofia refuses to play it.
WHYYYY
Also, the person with the cute cousin, SUWA IS THE BEST AND DON'T DENY IT
If she had a Soku Story Mode...
Oh my,,,,
*why are Cirno, China and Slutnae so bad?*
