Welcome to Gaia! ::

Quoted for being true and an earlier thread. Yes there has been some attempts at a Touhou anime from some companies. Sound Holic released that short animated movie of Touhou at C73 but from reviews and comments I read that was really awful to do.

I heard Maikaze is working on a Touhou anime but I dought that will be anymore succesful. Honestly, A danmaku game series just does not cut in the success as an anime series. Now of course as many of you know, ZUN is a man who woulde rather work alone when it comes to his creation. I bet he had it hard enough when he needed Twilight Frontier to help him with some of his games.

Now, actually working on an Anime series woulde just be a waste of time. But really, ZUN is a good as an artist but not animation quality good and no way in hell woulde he seek out side help. In conclusion, I for one oppose the fact of a Touhou anime.

aaahh... the fan made ones are pretty good
having an anime would expand Touhou to more people and become... trendy ^3^
but I understand ZUN way of thinking... maybe he should drink more beer xD
but even though he says he want control over his "babies" there's a lot of fan stuff that even he started following, like calling Meiling China and etc

A Touhou anime really wouldn't be much of a stretch. There's so much doujin and such out there that ZUN practically supports character and idea wise, and aside from that he's also shown that he can cooperate with others... Just look at the Tasofro games.

Still, he'd probably want to be at least the main writer and, which wouldn't really be too bad or unwanted. He is the most knowledgeable on the characters, after all, even if he does incorporate a few ideas here and there from others. ^_^
