> I've never gotten (into) Touhou culture. What's the appeal? Great music and tons of remixes, lots of characters with fun personalities (established in both canon and fanon), untold amounts of fanart and fanfiction, and there's a Touhou game or fangame in any genre you can think of. It's an "open source" success story, just with intellectual property instead of software. Lots of what's kept Touhou popular over the years has been community-produced works, whether that's Bad Apple, Flash videos with IOSYS songs, yukkuris, or these days, fumos.
