Hello, im here to revive a bit my little blog, since i dropped due to diverse reasons (Lazy? yeah maybe)
Anyway, now what i've been doing all this time. Mainly i was in the world of Touhou, what's this?
Touhou is an excellent game, really, really famous in Japan, with lots of characters, story, and more. This post is a little review about "what is Touhou", and a way to introduce it to my little blog.
Well, my blog is still a Maid site, so thats why the first character from Touhou here is Izayoi Sakuya, the Chief Maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Like most of Touhou's character, she has her story, but i will covered that later, or the post will be too big ^^;
Now yes, 'What's Touhou?:
Touhou is a "Shoot' em all" game, also know as "Danmaku", where rain of bullet (literally) and you will have to dodge, or die. This is not so simple as it could sound, it will be easy to understand, watching some videos, like this:
Do you still think that its easy? check an Extra boss
If you think it's too hard to give it a try, don't worry, there four levels of difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard and Lunatic). Now that the gameplay part is complete, let's talk some more about Touhou and the game's story.
One of the amazing things from Touhou, is that everything in Touhou's world has been made by one man, know as ZUN.
ZUN is, apparently, the only member of the "Team Shanghai Alice". ZUN is the main designer, programmer, writer and composer. Touhou series today has 12 titles, with some expansions.
Oh and what's are these expansions? There are 3 games from Touhou series that are not shooter games. This expansions are fighting games, where ZUN works with the team "Tasofro" to make this expansion titles, wich are great too. The first one was the 7.5, followed by 10.5 and the last Touhou game out, 12.3.
Here a video from 12.3
There is also an expansion with an special danmaku game, called Shoot the Bullet (9.5), where you have to take pictures of spells.
Today, the Touhou series has more of 100 characters (!) everyone with a cool and big story (someones more than others), almost all of them related to oriental, mainly japan mythology, but there are others not oriental too (Like vampires, etc). By the way, if you didn't notice yet, all characters in Touhou series are girls, except some guys not really importants (Im with bad Rinnosuke-san!).
And finally, other amazing thing of Touhou: The music. ZUN is a great composer, and his melodies are awesome. There is too much Touhou music to make a short review (all characters have their own song!), but to show you some i will put something here, and some fan remixes. Btw, the doujin world from Touhou is too big, there are lots of mangas, music, too much music, images (if you like to search image galleries daily, you sure found something related to touhou sometime) games, and more...
And a remix of that last theme, Border of Life, by East new sound (There is a lot of remixes of almost all songs, someones with vocals like this.) And this is a great video too.
Well, thats all for now.
