I want to know how many people got into it from.
Only now have I gotten into touhou stuff and that wasnt because of the games or official manga but it wasnt because all the fan content, the doujins, pv, fanart. And I wanna see how other fans enter the touhou world.

Also yes you did see that right Im putting fan content and music in the same option, because it wasnt ZUN who made that Shadowart pv of bad apple nor other famous touhou pvs

I got into Touhou because of the games. One day I was bored and I heard about a game series with awesome music, so I tried it out just to have some little bit of fun. Downloaded Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, started playing Normal, got rekt by stage 3. But I really enjoyed it! And so I now play EoSD everyday and it's my favorite game and shmup is my favorite genre.

I got into touhou by that twat above me, who recommended me to play EoSD. Actually I am not really a fan, I haven't played EoSD in a few days if not weeks now, what am I even doing here?

But I really like touhou metal and I play one "round" every now and then.

I got into Touhou because of the music, which at that time was just at the height of its popularity between 2006-2009.



I better stop there before I start going full nostalgic. I still play the games, but I got tired of them pretty quickly. LoLK was probably the best game in a long time, except for how casual the pointdevice mode felt. I browse pixiv and danbooru daily to keep up with my favourite artists. Hell, I talk about it daily with friends too. It's surprising that it's still very relevant in my life even in 2017.

By the way, I thought it might be useful to post this here so you have an idea @lightcha

This information comes from the 13th Touhou Annual Popularity Poll, which ended just a few days ago. Here are the results translated to English. Scroll down to "How you discovered Touhou"

Well unlike most people, I got into Touhou because of shmups, whereas for most people that's the other way around.

I first played the games and then got invested in other fan material.

My Touhou Legacy begins when I finished Undertale and asked my friend about a game with similiar battle system like it, he recommended me of this Dark Soul's equivalent game. It was terrifying when I first play it. xD

Fan-arts made by a friend. However, I got into the series really late.
