【Touhou Anime】幻想万華鏡 ~The Memories of Phantasm~【東方】

[pickyrish]

best song for me

[knucklez2]

wtf there's a touhou anime

fuck my life

[kurotaki91]

<3 <3 touhou project is a paradise <3 <3

[snacksguy]

@tetrahydrocannibiful lucky...

[teckwizz123]

i like アニメ東方

[RainbowCat202]

Can someone please tell me what the song is?

[MoeAnimeLover]

@RainbowCat202 It's 'Iroha nioedo Chirinuru wo' sung by senya.

[bononcrusher2]

Okay, prediction time. The opening is (if I'm right) from the sixth game (which is really, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody or Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil?) but the episode is Perfect Cherry Blossom. The next OP is from Subterranean Animism. Who thinks it will be Imperishable Night(or any other installment)? That's my gut feeling.

[asdoja3]

Wats the song?

[Valkiraun]

My gohei can deflect knives.

your arguements is invalid

[Avascarz]

Please make more x_x

[Solhikari]

@coolbluecat24 because it's Japanese. o(^▽^)o

[coolbluecat24]

Y is there cherry blosomes in every anime show i wach?!?!

[jgavins1]

@101CuiteKitty It depends on who interprets Touhou's vague laws. Gensokyo operates on a plane of reality that can be "flipped." One of the characters, Yukari, can flip the relationship between opposites (dreams vs reality, truth vs lie, etc) so there are doujin comics that have Yukari flip the border between males and females. As a result, females in Gensokyo become males. If you google "touhou genderbend," you'll find that Touhou characters do as well as men as they are as women

[kurotaki91]

@jgavins1 no thanks!! touhou characters ----> Girls Forever!!!!!!! FUCK GENDERBLENDER!!!!!!!!!

[DeadlysinzZ]

@101CuiteKitty dun ruin it... the place is a paradise to us males only females are in there

[kurotaki91]

@DeadlysinzZ yes!!!!!!!!! this give me hope to some yuriii <3

[harmonyordie]

@101CuiteKitty

NO =w=

[bomnguu12]

@ultimatechucknorris No way, i got that virus from Cirno...⑨ year ago...

[bomnguu12]

I heard Zun make a game from this anime? lol

[ultimatechucknorris]

@bomnguu12 and i heard guys like you were supposed to be extinct but i gues we can't get rid of the idiot virus.

[TheSuperSaiyan]

Mountain of Faith Song

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Video

Perfect Chery Blossom Episode.

Wait, huh?

[Reikachan60]

i have a question is there a anime for this because my freind does not believe there is.I think there is anime for this.......right?

[TheWarfather]

@Reikachan60 There isnt any official anime. But what is out on Youtube and any other sites are all fanmade.

[Kisumisu02]

oh my god I just love this music video. and the song Q_Q soooooo lovely

[ultimatechucknorris]

thumbs up for flandre!!!

[Kisumisu02]

@ultimatechucknorris hell yeah

[WariorKitty]

love it!

[phillipdrangostarfir]

i love is video

[JuneAndAlyssa]

So perfect for an anime! Yukari looks pretty cool for a woman. XD

[belly8900]

@JuneAndAlyssa They still haven't made this into an anime yet?!

I swear, Japan needs to like, speed up. (Well, not really. Otherwise they'd rush through the anime and it'll end up terrible, and we don't want that to happen to our beautiful Touhou, now do we?)

[ultimatechucknorris]

@belly8900 ZUN would never and will never sell his copyrights to a japanese anime company. it hurts me to say it but he would never allow a "official" anime made by a company. but he allows fans to make things like this because they are awesome and if he doesn't we take away his alchohol. the only way a anime could be produced is if it was made by a very well connected fan group and if ZUN was onboard with the idea. besides i think he is almost out of ideas for new touhou video games.

[navi1199]

@belly8900 Zun doesn't want Touhou to become an anime

[belly8900]

@navi1199 @ultimatechucknorris

That is fucking sad.

[DaRKDEFIANCE0games]

If I had the money, I would pour it all into funding of this.

[Rs0Knightman]

Are there more vids the creator of this one made?

[Arleran]

holy...

is this really fanmade?? O.o

holy...

look at how smooth the animation is!!

even though it's only the op it's fcking awesome!!!

[jomblephlooper]

@Arleran If you like that then go watch the actual video, there also making a second one as well. Just search up memories of phantasm.

[EnnosukeTakahashi]

is perfect *-*

[ultimatechucknorris]

0:52 pretty much sums up how epic flandre is.

[Plasmakirby9]

This pretty much sums up how a touhou anime should be, and there SHOULD be an anime

[ultimatechucknorris]

always awesome no matter how many times i see it. the only thing i wish i could see is flandre. i think she is the best touhou character even though she isn't a main character.

[WilsonCool1]

It would be so AWESOME if it was real!!

I would sell my soul to the devil to see it!!

[cannonfodder4000]

@WilsonCool1

It's in the related vids if you wanna check the full version out. <8v

[WilsonCool1]

@cannonfodder4000 I don't sell my soul? YAY! X3

Harigatou gozaimazu~!

[cannonfodder4000]

@WilsonCool1

All in a day's work, ma'am. >8s

[LottiStark]

@WilsonCool1 If you still wanna sell your soul I'm here! Not the Devil, but... ^-^

[WilsonCool1]

@LottiStark No soul for you!

What I win with that?

[LottiStark]

@WilsonCool1 Why not? i.i  I give you ice cream (lol)

[WilsonCool1]

@LottiStark Ice Cream? If it's Chocolate Ice Cream the I have to accept -gives the soul, wraped like a present-

[LottiStark]

@WilsonCool1 Hai! *gives the chocolate ice cream and take the soul* One more!

[WilsonCool1]

@LottiStark Glad that I could help on your collection! XD

[DemyxDude]

How can you say no to a face like that

[supernintendogames1]

can somebody please explain why theres only female characters in touhou

[MistPower101]

@supernintendogames1 There are male characters, but the only one who is human, who has an official design, and who has an official name, is the only one who counts. His name is Rinnosuke Morichika. It's believed, due to how ZUN, the creator of Touhou, isn't a very good artist, that in the same way he can't draw older females, he can't draw males. Rinnosuke hasn't appeared in any of the games yet, either. Just in some of the mangas.

[MistPower101]

@supernintendogames1 ** Rinnosuke is only half-human, my bad.. He's half-human, half-Youkai.

[bburde2]

WHO THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK MADE THIS AWESOME ANIME?!?!?!?!?

[MegaMonsterZilla]

the animations are awesome!

Remilia and Sakuya looks badass

but Yakumo looks like an uninteresting adult...

i love the creepy,interesting,awesome,bad­ass (and funny) Yakumo in the game

(especially the 2d fighting series)

[darkness2101]

Guys, trailer of the next episode is on :D.

/watch?v=wapKeFTzP1w

and new songs + some scenes

/watch?v=GyE-l6GGdYU

[BattousaiHBr]

@darkness2101 whaaat? episode 2 is finally out?

[Soulcalibar41]

I like to pause at the part when Flandre makes her evil face. I think it looks cool.

[ultimatechucknorris]

@Soulcalibar41 same here bro :)

[fenel555heinz]

If you do not understand japanese deeply,

it is difficult to get to know a true meaning.

"iro ha niwoedo chirinuru wo "

All the colors and scents will certainly disappear.

But it is transitorily beautiful.

A very old song of Japan is original.

[pokefan581]

pause at 1:15 UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS? LOL

[tetrahydrocannibiful]

sometimes, I have lucid dreams in which i live in Gensokyo.. lololol chillin at the Hakurei Shine sippin my Sake o3o

[ultimatechucknorris]

@tetrahydrocannibiful until yukari shows up and steals it

[ThisIsMyName651]

@tetrahydrocannibiful Hi Suika. xD

[LOOOLZZ90]

@tetrahydrocannibiful

Parsee mode on....

[ultimatechucknorris]

after all touhou is nothing without its fans.

[duranan1]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­!!!! I TOTALLY BET THAT IF SOMEONE MADE A TOUHOU ANIME, THEN THE # OF FANS WOULD EXPLODE!!! AND THAT PERSON WOULD MAKE A BUNCH OF MONEY!!!

[ultimatechucknorris]

@duranan1 im shure aniplex or funimation would love to make a touhou anime but the problem is that ZUN doesn't want to "make" a touhou anime. and i doubt he wants to give over the touhou rights to some anime company that only wants money. i do wish however that he would do more to "encourage" some private fan groups to make an official touhou anime that would have the backing of ZUN wether by monetary means or in the developement of the fanmade anime.

[Shinigami186]

@ultimatechucknorris Funimation isn't an anime studio, they're a licensing company.

[Shinigami186]

@ultimatechucknorris Another thing. ZUN doesn't care about the money. Hell, he doesn't even care if his games sell now so much. He just keeps making them because he loves them. But he doesn't want his creation to be remembered as an anime. He wants it to be remembered for what it is, a series of games created by Outa Junya, aka ZUN. If Touhou became an anime, newer generations would remember it as an anime, rather than as a game. It may be selfish, but in the end, it's HIS creation, and he can

[Shinigami186]

@Shinigami186 do whatever the hell he wants with it. I for one am quite satisfied with the status quo, getting a new Touhou game every year and a bunch of doujinshi every Reitaisai and Comiket Summer/Winter, as well as a bunch of rearranges of the BGMs.

[IloveVocaloidXD]

guys, THE UMBRELLA ISN'T A BULLET

BUT IF REIMU TOUCH IT, WILL APPEAR A HELL OF BULLETS

>:I

[catsruleyourule12345]

what is touhou???

[ultimatechucknorris]

@catsruleyourule12345 welcome my friend to the wonderous life of touhou!!! hint:you'll be staying here for a while trust me.

[dandynood]

@catsruleyourule12345 prepare to get hook

[IloveVocaloidXD]

@catsruleyourule12345 im back off you right now, prepare to get kill

[ultimatechucknorris]

im crying tears of joy i just whatched it in 1080p. epic!!! if they could make an anime about small rat animals that can only say one word and say it over and over and over and then call it pokemon and still keep it going somehow . then i think a touhou anime is not that far from completely possible.

[Reminiscable]

@ultimatechucknorris That anime is still going..?

[ultimatechucknorris]

@Reminiscable to be honest the animation in this touhou anime is alot better than the maikaze episode. this is like actual anime quality. but i hear that miakaze is about to realease the second episode of theirs soon atleast around the christmas months(hopefully) but i believe touhou memories of phantasm(this animated episode) was made from tohokinemakan which makes pretty good animations. if money would be a problem for these fanmade animes then i think ZUN should donate some for touhou.

[ultimatechucknorris]

@ultimatechucknorris instead of sitting back, drinking his alchohol, and still making money off of touhou since people can't get enough of the games. im fairly certain he is sitting on a pile of cash. if not then there is seriously something wrong here. or maybe he isn't willing to make money himself from a touhou anime fanmade or not. but he made touhou what it is today and that means if any touhou anime were to be made he would HAVE to play a part in its making.

[al28894]

Too bad ZUN decided against the anime, though I understand his reasons. I could stare at this and wonder at what's possible... *_*

[SarkenHS]

@al28894 I thought his wasn't opposed anymore?

[MikuKonataMoon]

@al28894 No that's the Maikaze. This was meant to be 1 episode. I think.

[DeathsSymmetry]

Can't stop watching *___*

[tintinman0904]

AAAHHH!!!!! Meiling <3

[legendfox2000]

i dont think theres really a way to turn touhou into a childish anime. i mean look at suika, she DRINKS ALCOHOL through a GOURD-SHAPED CONTAINER. through a jap's eyes, gourds would usually would have an alcohol drink in it. and it also depends on the company that goes decides to animate it.

[lemlolcat]

this has better animation then most official anime in my opinion



[belly8900]

@lemlolcat I totally agree!

[comedylov]

"As seen on League of Legends community"

The feck?

[JinGitaxias]

@comedylov "As seen on Youtube."

[LuoQiin]

1:15 thats coool~ 

[xxpaygexx]

1:15 - Proof that Sakuya only needs 1 second of visible action to be the most badass person in this video.

[TheOneBlueNinja]

@xxpaygexx Sakuya Izayoi: Classier than The Most Interesting Man in the World, more badass than Bruce Lee, and hotter than an active volcano. In short, a woman NOT TO BE F**KED WITH.

[legendfox2000]

@TheOneBlueNinja FUCK YEA!

Key words for reasons to not mess with her: Time manipulation and hundreds of flying daggers

[BattousaiHBr]

@xxpaygexx hahaha i couldnt agree more. the most epic part is deffinitely her throwing the knives.

[ErrorPwnage]

I agree this vid looks awesome, but we don't want Touhou to suffer the same fate as Pokemon. We all know, Pokemon's image got RUINED by the anime, everyone now thinks it's childish. WE DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO OUR PRECIOUS TOUHOU!

[jgavins1]

@ErrorPwnage Agreed. A Touhou anime should only be made by Touhou fans because only the fans care enough to make it art (the reason why each frame of this video is so beautifully drawn). Most companies only want to make money and have no attachment to what they produce.

Besides, Touhou is not just about anime; the tens of thousands of fan-produced comics, the music, and the collective imagination of millions of people make Touhou leagues apart from any franchise a company can ever produce.

[TheOneBlueNinja]

@jgavins1 Truer words have never been spoken, my friend.

[ultimatechucknorris]

@jgavins1 a full fanmade anime made by and for fans, now theres an idea. i think that would be the first of its kind, ofcourse touhou itself is already the first of its kind its a scrolling video game yet there are so many fanmade mangas and animated videos. almost as if ZUN intended it to be like this. either that or he just doesnt want to bother with making an anime,too much work not enough alchohol.

[jrmgame]

@jgavins1 that's a similar concept that could have been made of the way of the goth. but look what happened. it became popular to be different and by becoming popular it became the norm. everything has a price, and even if we are all not willing to pay it, we have no choice. if touhou becomes popular enough to make an anime out of, then it will mean little that our individuality has been lumped together with the trash that is the norm. fans or not, in the end they sell what we want.

[KageTsuwamono]

It's amazing. I only just now played Mountain of Faith. That's when I realized this song is a remix of Nitori's stage. Until then, I thought it was based on Septette for the Dead Princess. Seriously, half of each Stage 3's music is almost identicle to Remilia's theme. Zun, master recycler! Not that there's a problem with that, I love them both!

Listen for yourselves:

Septette - IKbKOC2QNgg

MoF Stage 3 - wbjbNGgL8p8

[superkeijikun]

With how talented the people who make these are, I'm surprised only twice have they attempted to make complete series/movies of Touhou. 3:

[aaronfulee321x]

It's so good!shame it was fan-made and not really real and in the anime,nice stuff from the fans though.

[gameraltz]

anime OVA released! it was great

[YuriLeven]

You 21 idiots! It's Don't Like, not Download!!

[shrekerrr]

people...why dont you try searching the anime on youtube? I already watched it and its good.. btw just note that theres sub/voice only, or if u want try the voice+sub.

[paragonD6]

waitttttttttttttttt this isnt real right????

[vergiliscoming]

@paragonD6 What do you mean?

[paragonD6]

@vergiliscoming like is it gonna air? when?

[vergiliscoming]

@paragonD6 no, it's totally fanmade... no official

[paragonD6]

@vergiliscoming damn thats pretty good for a fan made art :P

[SonicAmyShadow]

Mukyu~!

[kaizerevo]

Reimu can sense bullets , not umbrellas :P

[Jay122233]

[Jay122233]

[mstoop114]

ohhh i'm too dumb.... so these are the shadows of touhou bad apple pv sung (adapted) by vocaloid, isn't it?

[ThePageofCups]

@mstoop114 No, the shadow animation is original and done by another artist. The song featured in it is also actually sung by a person (Nomico,) and not a computer.

[mstoop114]

@ThePageofCups oh ok cause i thought that these are the same characters because of their designs i think its a little bit familliar.. oh and thanks for informing me that its nomico who sung the original bad apple!!!

[ThePageofCups]

@mstoop114 No, they ARE the same characters, but the person who did the shadow art is different from the person/people who did this. That's what I meant.

[mstoop114]

@ThePageofCups ahhh ok thanks for more detailed informations^_^

[lopal22]

Marisa is perfect <3

[girlcarabara13]

by the comments this "touhou" must be a game.................2 things

1: why isn't this awsome vid of awsomenss a anime show?

2: what is touhou? O_O I WANT TO KNOW BUT I MA TOO BORED TO READ THE WIKI FOR IT

[Uni790]

@girlcarabara13

1: there was a fan made anime being made at one point but ZUN the creator shut it down (would take away from the game's value)

2: it's a series of videogames I believe there are 13 in the main series now, I have only managed to beat one of them, and the extra stage keeps killing me, I have video's up if you want to see the game in play, I fail pretty bad though.

[girlcarabara13]

@Uni790 THANK U FOR UR KIND EXPLANATION!!! and yes i'll take a look at those vids ^_^

looks like touhou got a new fan! :D

[acitapeh]

@Uni790 > 1: there was a fan made anime being made at one point but ZUN the creator shut it down (would take away from the game's value)

Please stop spreading the old urban myth again.

[Uni790]

@acitapeh it's not an "old urban myth" it's here on youtube if you bothered to search for it, the first and only episode anyway

[acitapeh]

@Uni790 I have run across many people like you, please know the fact.

Maikaze: "we are afraid of confusion because we set professional seiyuu"

Zun: "well, explicit the credit and enjoy your activity"

An English blog (Sankaku complex) mistook Manikaze's remark as Zun's, which was the origin of all the misconception.

[urusaiurusai]

@acitapeh He'll feel really stupid when Maikaze releases the second episode.

[EOCB]

@girlcarabara13 read the damn wiki.

[girlcarabara13]

@EOCB i shal and will now that i am a fan! :)

[IloveVocaloidXD]

@girlcarabara13 Touhou is the epicest game, EVAR (?)

[girlcarabara13]

@IloveVocaloidXD HELL YA!

[KaiokenKisha]

The Gensokyo The Hags Loved.

[StarlingofAzerath]

I'd be willing to try to make a simple anime if someone would send me info on the characters background and personality. I'm so confused with all the different pv vids

[westtxtapper]

@StarlingofAzerath sorry, goofed up.

en(dot)touhouwiki(dot)net

[Tewifying]

I've watched this dozens of times, and it has yet to fail to send a thrill up my spine.

[DarkDragonKyra]

@JapanForSale Thankfully, I don't think a lot of people even /remember/ that report by CNN. I don't even know how many people take them seriously on a normal basis.

I'd also like to think that even with the factor of lowest common denominator, that the more mature people would make sure the series was seen in a more positive light. But yeah, I'm quite a pessimist. XD

If an anime of Touhou is ever made, though, I will support it. Even if it involves kicking young-teen girls in the jaw. XD

[ufogoat29]

No the umbrella unexpectedly came at her.
