"Hilarious" Touhou article
Easy Mode:
I thought it was cute. It wasn't pushing it into anyone's face, and Touhou is still a little bit of a niche.
I'd show it around.
Kiro:
I thought this was a great article.
Author does try to make a talking point by using MOF's Reimu portrait to say ZUN had to give on something for being the sole creator, but whatever.
The Lunatic screenshots even up to Byakuren's Shinki attack are a really nice touch and the author also balances in the moe pics with the insane Flandre one. Embedded videos too although I have no sound for them here at work is a nice bonus. And it goes into the crux of why Touhou is so popular: the fandom cosplay, doujin comics and games, and the video and music remixes. Pretty much covers it all. Along with the appreciation that something that by all means should be so obscure can be perpetuated so widely and for so long.
I went and showed my co-worker the article. His response:
Great article, very funny lol

Heh, I'll actually be happy if more Americans know about Touhou. This article is actually decent enough, if only to introduce what Touhou is; the rest they can learn by themselves.
Then again, I feel that ZUN has never intended to make Touhou more popular than it already is in Japan.
NinjaFoxX:
