Several parts of this video still give me goosebumps years later, but especially the creation of Gensokyo. This is easily the single best overall Touhou video that exists.
@@kencolac2860 IIRC, the Dragon god only laid down the initial foundation for Gensokyo, and the Yokai sages are the ones who finished it. Unless I'm mixing up my lore.
I love this fandom so much, i wish i couldve been there for the glory days. I cant wait for touhoufest 2023 ill be able to see all the people i couldnt meet back then
So glad to have found this again...... I remember being on an old Touhou forum way back when the first 'opening' dropped, lots of speculation that it was a teaser for an "official" Touhou anime lol, there was so much excitement. Still impressive, of course, when we found out that it was a fan project. I've been a Touhou fan for nearly 13 years now, and I still miss that forum and those "peak" days of the (western) fandom. It would seem that the "Touhou boom" has somewhat passed, but even still, it is incredible and deeply moving to see such love still shared for the series and the fan culture surrounding it. And to see new people continuing to discover it...... Such a gift ZUN has given to the world.
We can't deny that golden days of touhou already passed but it's such a gem that shouldn't be forgotten. I'm really sad that they gonna close dankagu servers...
Been a touhou fangirl for 15 years lol. Started in 2009 when I was 9. I used to share these videos with my touhou roleplay friends in 2010.. Holy shit I miss the vibes so much. I still dream about those nostalgic times :')
I was around 5 when this video came out and have only been a Touhou fan for 3 years. This is my first time seeing this video and yet for some reason I can't help but feel nostalgic while watching it.
I know Touhou since 2019, liked the music, and then in 2021 I wanted to explore more of the games and the lore about it, and now I just really like Touhou in general. This franchise has everything it needs, and seeing those videos just make me remember how much I love it.
My cousin showed me this when I was 11 years old. Good memories. Yes, I remember first time hearing anime as an alternate saying for japanese animation.
@atyazlier Yes it is her ancestor, the first shrine maiden of Gensokyo (Reimu being the 13th(?)). In fact is has to be her because you see Yukari making the Gensokyo border.
The ending song is a remix of Heian Alien, I believe, the part with chibis is a remix of Beware the umbrella left there forever, the first OP is Necrofantasia and the 2nd is Yuka's PC98 theme, Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream I think? Also baaaw I love this the animation is amazing!
Soo, we got fandom stuff right off the bat (Alice being Alice), creation of Gensokyo with "young" Yukari and pc98 Reimu, duel between Marisa and Yuuka, and Yuuka's double spark. Very Epic
@colonel24567 @colonel24567 wiki ahead: Both of them are humans on the outside world who know of Gensokyo's existence. Maribel has visited Gensokyo in her dreams.
NEET Kitten hi sorry I didn’t see your comment response to one of my comments from my old UA-cam account but I just want to ask you if you have any proof of gensokyo being real and if it is how would I get to gensokyo all by myself without yukari gapping me in?😅🧐
@@Touhou20246 gensokyo is a place where those who are forgotten about are spirited away, a yokai haven/sanctuary if you will. The only way a normal human could reach gensokyo from our side is to be completely and utterly forgotten about.
Graham Holbrook I know that it’s just that I have had recent world events that kinda cause me to want to live in gensokyo instead of our world because I feel like that I would be able to easily fit in as a resident of gensokyo because I would be willing to convert to either Buddhism or Shintoism because I actually find myself legitimately agreeing with the philosophy of both Buddhism and Shintoism.😅👍🏻😑
In the second OP, here are the words in the very beginning. "To be brave is to love someone unconditionally without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt." - Madonna. "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always reason in madness." - Nietzsche I might be wrong (the words move around very quickly) but that's the best my ability...
Is it possible that the circle "Yukari?" and Reimu's ancestor created was the start of Gensokyo? It would make sense for the Youkai and Shrine maiden of Borders to be the ones to make the border of Gensokyo and cuttin them off from Japan
That's the case, but adding more information to the matter, besides Yukari and the Shrine Maiden, there were also Okina, Kasen, that gigantic dragon and I guess a few more. Those responsible for the creation of Gensokyo are officially known as "sages".
Check the mediafire I leave on info. In Musics folder, there's a song "11 - Fragments of a Chronology.mp3". It's the full version of the 1st song you want.
OP2 (when Marisa fights Yuka) is "YU-MU" a vocal arrangement of Yuka's theme, you can listen to it here: watch?v=5sxnuTwXPTI ED: (I'm not sure) it's "When I wish upon a star" The Cheering squad is "RAiNY STARS" I beleive.
Nice subs, and good idea, marking the chars as they show up. I found a few small things though. 0:47, you noted Nitori, but that's Satori, Koishi's older sister. 3:25, Miche? You may just be using a name for her I don't know, and that really wouldn't suprise me, but I know her as Medicine, doll turned youkai who can control poison. 5:06, the two unnamed are Yamame Kurodani and Kisume, 11's 1st stage boss and mid-boss, respectively. Other than that, great job =P
Boy will it hurt to tell you these are just fan animations. Basically PVs made by another circle (basically fan groups). The music is from "hatsunetsumiko's and kishida kyoudan and the akeboshi rockets", the latter actually going on to make anime OPs like shield hero's. Kinema kan is the circle who made these animations.
@@lazydelibird Yeah I sorta knew. I just wanted to felicitate the one(s) who made these amazing works anyway. Thank You for the titles. Like I said it's been a while since I've been transported by an opening or an ending.
OMG! Ive seen this video over... carry the one... To far to count, and I never noticed that she was in the background in Eientei. That camoflouge-suit works wonders. I need me some Kappa Technology~
It's only fan made Ops and stuff? but they sure did a hell of a job on the animation characters looks like a legit Anime..... How I wish it was an anime
long time since i saw this video, now seing again i noticed an detai: "arrangement tim vegas" ohhh! i didnt knew this name back in the days that i used to see this video, now its an familiar name, i never realized he made this song too
@OkashiiKisei Thanks for your comment ^^ There's a pic that point Reimu before classic, I don't know what's it said? I can't read Japanese +_+'' So I think 1:42 is Reimu. At the 1st time see it, I also think that person is Reimu's distant ancestor...
Ah, was hoping that someone would add character name tags to these videos. It is a convenient way to introduce the characters to non-Touhou fans. Thank you. There is one thing I have to note however: The shrine maiden at 1:42 wasn't classic Reimu but in fact Reimu's distant ancestor. This part depicts the creation of the Hakurei Border, hundreds of years in the past. The creature in the sky is the Dragon God, the supreme deity who oversaw the creation of Gensokyo (he/she should also be tagged).
@KayJordan17 I saw it before. At that time, I don't know what's it and just think it's something look like a huge part of umbrella T.T" Now I have seen it cleary, it's a green dragon, thanks for remind. ^^
I dunno, if that were the case then he probably would have told the creators of the voicepack for Hisoutensoku to call off their project. That, paired with the fact that many PVs made by rather famous Touhou-related companies have specific voices for each character, one of the most notable being IOSYS.
@lorthebird Thanks for the info ^^ I know 2nd OP is Yuuka's Theme, but I didn't know that's from PC98 ^^" To all Touhou fans, Touhou need to have anime series T^T
@atyazlier looks more like PC-98 Reimu to me. Correction EXACTLy. Thatt was reimus hair and colour design back then. Maybe thats what they were going for.

Does anyone think that the reason why the yokai characters from touhou who live in gensokyo only live their because we humans invented science?🧐

It only now occurred to me that those red and yellow beams in OP2 are Reimu and Marisa.
I just realized cirno drew a 9 on her face at 1:16
The circle around Marisa's mini hakkero says:
There is always some madness in love , but there is also always some reason in madness.
1:11 Could that be a TRIGUN REFERENCE?!
yes it is
This is by far the greatest thing that I have ever seen. And I've seen some pretty great things.
