However due to compatibility issues it does not fully work with the pre-hopeless masquerade fighting games. 12.3 in particular. Each Touhou game has four difficulty levels—easy, normal, hard, and lunatic—with each one being harder than the previous one. Regardless of difficulty choice, there are six stages in each game and each one is harder than the previous. Touhou 6 if you like to go through things chronologically, Touhou 10 if you really wanna get a real bullet hell feeling, Touhou 13 if you want to have a game that teaches you a bit of 'efficient' touhou strategy (as the game rewards routing a lot, while having a pretty mild mechanic) and Touhou 15 if you just hate yourself. Touhou Rhythm Carnival Scarlet is a Rhythm Heaven like game including Touhou characters. It is made by Focus Lens and it mainly focuses on Embodiment of Scarlet Devil characters. This game is also known as Touhou Rhythm Carnival Kurenai.
Hi ! I've been meaning to do that for a little while.
Why did you guys first get into Touhou ? I don't know about you, but for me, it wasn't for the games. I do like hard games, but it certainly wasn't what made me interested in the first place. And even if I already knew that Touhou music was well-known for how good it was, it still wasn't my main motivation for getting into the series.
What intrigued me was the universe of Touhou, the world of Touhou, the lore of Touhou. Gensokyo and its inhabitants. Although developing the story has never been a priority, it spawned an incredibly fascinating dream world, and gave birth to one of the most dedicated fandoms in the world. I knew a bit about the setting, but I wanted to experience for myself the phenomenon that became so loved in the 15 last years.
So that's what I did, last year. I finally got bored enough to start playing the games, reading the books, and get my hand on every bit of official content I could find. And it was satisfying ! But now that I was 'into it', it wasn't enough.
Before being a Touhou fan, I am an anime fan. I'll take a wild guess and assume that I'm not the only one in this community.. Anime, as a media, can and has been incredibly powerful in the way it tells a story, including but not limited to by enhancing the immersion with high-quality visuals and music. So, of course, I was hoping to find out that there were official anime adaptations of Touhou out there, especially since the setting of Gensokyo seemed to offer so many possibilities. Surely, now that I knew this world, I was going to live something even more amazing by seeing it come to life in animation. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that ZUN explicitly refused to produce a Touhou anime.
I then turned to fan-made content. Even if they were not canon or official in any way, it could still bring me entertainment or even touch my feelings. And luckily, as I mentioned, this fandom is famous for being incredibly talented and prolific, to the point where it actually produced a few anime episodes. Which I've watched as fast as I could. Some of them were extremely good, and some of them were not, but even those were still anime episodes, with an atmosphere that made me feel closer to Gensokyo.
Now that I'm pretty much caught up with everything and that I know a bit more about Touhou and its community, I noticed something (or rather, I had already noticed when I was searching for fan-made content). It's actually a bit difficult to find information on Touhou fan-made anime. You have to search around quite a lot, find subtitled videos, and sometimes the information you get is not up to date.. It would be a lot easier if there existed a list of Touhou anime and videos to check out, but as far as I know, it's not a thing.
.. Yet ! That's what I'm doing right now, as you all already know because of the title of the post (spoilers). To help newcomers find the same feeling that I once found, I compiled a list of every piece of Touhou anime that I could unearth. Now, in addition to the big series that most fans know, there are also a lot of little independant animated videos floating around on the Internet, so I allowed myself to restrict a bit what counted as 'anime' in my mind.
Therefore, this list does NOT include :
- 3D / MMD videos. Some of them are absolutely hilarious but it's not what I'm searching for here.
- Animations with a style that's too different from anime / manga style. Sorry, I'm biased.
- Parodies that trace or are heavily based upon an existing anime video. I saw a couple anime openings like that.
- Anime videos that are essentially slideshows or with minimal animation.
- Anime videos that are just of insufficient quality. I know it's arbitrary and depends on the viewer but I feel like it really breaks the immersion. Please don't take that as a lack of respect for hard-working fans !
I apologize if you were searching for these kinds of animated videos. I'm not planning to make a separate list for those but I'd be interested to see your recommendations if you do !
Now, onto the list. I'll first talk about the main anime series that exist (you probably have already heard of most of them), and then I'll list a bunch of little anime videos that I found.

Promotional videos / music videos / other stuff
I'm glad there's so many of them, but it makes it difficult to pick the ones you want to watch (one solution is to do like I did and just watch everything). The ones in bold are my personal favorites, the ones that I found the most beautiful or the most emotional.
Bonus : some personal recommendations for non-anime stuff
These are just a couple of personal recommendations regarding non-anime videos. Unfortunately, I can't list everyone's favorites (I mean, I could, but that would go far beyond the scope of what I was trying to accomplish with this post), so please don't attack me if your 'must-watch' isn't included here.
- Music video : Bad Apple
If you haven't seen Bad Apple yet, congrats on getting an Internet connection after ten years spent in an isolated cave. This black-and-white music video is many westerners' first contact with Touhou (.. that, and McRoll), and it became so iconic that dozens of variations have been done with different visuals.
I'm going to share two of them : the original one, and the English cover by Cristina Vee that I really like.
Touhou Game List Online
- 2D animation : Diamond in the Rough
I said earlier that the lack of animation or different styles might break the immersion, but there are exceptions. This one is done in a minimalistic comic style that I didn't know about but later learned was known as Walfas. At the time I started watching it, I didn't think I would be able to take it very seriously, and yet I can now confidently say Diamond in the Rough is the most incredible experience I've had among all the works presented in this list.
Diamond in the Rough is a deconstruction of the 'Gappy Stu' Touhou fanfics (works of fiction where a young character is gapped into Gensokyo by Yukari and devolves into shallow wish-fulfillment). We follow the adventures of Brolli Diamondback, a bored teenager who gets gapped with the promise of living a more interesting life. I don't want to say more, but I urge you to watch it. Here's the playlist.

And if you have watched it, and you're interested in a detailed analysis of the whole thing, including episode-by-episode breakdown and literary discussions, check out The Definitive Guide To DitR written by the author. I spent like two hours reading it the other day and I found it absolutely captivating.
- Doujin : Touhou Osana Reimu - Touhou Reireimu
An original doujin converted to a video series. It explores the relationship between Reimu, her mother, and Rumia, in a surprisingly powerful story. You can watch it here.
And that should cover about everything ! I hope you find this list helpful. Hopefully the layout is fine, but if you have any suggestion about the presentation or if you think I should add any other information, I'd be happy to receive your feedback.
