"Why are they fighting?" "Who's the villain?" Basically, yesterday's enemy is today's guest for tea.

This vocal woman was recently retired. But I'm sure that her songs will be loved by many To-Ho Project fans.

I love that question by the end "Who's the bad guy here?!" Depending on what the story wants, anyone can have their time in the spotlight. The main protagonists may be antagonistic, previous antagonists become protagonists, there's a sort of revolving perspective that just makes it feel like you're tagging along with everyone's everyday lives in this series, regardless of how many pointless fights they start Edit: The creator of the series, ZUN, has been open about his distaste of having the series be adapted into a full-on anime. When he was writing one of the official manga, he intentionally made the pacing be spread across multiple different lines of books because his publisher wanted to adapt it into an anime

5:27 「「「ｵｯﾊﾟｲﾃﾞｶｲ」」」 ！？！？！？！？！？！？

この人すごいリスペクトしてくれて嬉しいなと思っていたら、突然の「oppai dekai!」で吹いたｗｗｗ

To be clear, each of the songs for the openings are covers from the original games' BGM. And each cover were made by a group called Yuuhei Satellite, with the vocalist in particular being Senya. The first opening is a cover for "The Gensokyo the Gods Loved", the Stage 3 BGM from Touhou 10. This theme in particular is joked about as Touhou's national anthem by the fans, or is often used as the theme for the land of Gensokyo as a whole. The second is a cover of "Last Remote", the Extra Stage theme from Touhou 11. An honestly beautiful piece that is loved by the fans. Third is "Fate of Sixty Years", the theme of Shikieiki from Touhou 9. She's the green haired girl shown everywhere in the opening, and is the final boss for this particular game. And finally, the last cover is from "Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim", the Extra Stage theme from Touhou 8. Another solid theme, with heavy ties to the phoenix girl you pointed out before. Each theme is iconic to the series, by some form or another, and I highly recommend listening to either them or covers of them during your spare time.

Possibly my favorite animations of Touhou are by an animator named Minus T, his animations are an absolute blast to watch! Hope one day you react to one of them.

東方の入り口は人それぞれだから、ゆっくり無理しないで自分の東方を作って欲しいな 追記 何か新しく勧めるとするなら、IOSYSの東方アレンジとかかな。Vtuberが好きなら、IOSYS所属の作曲者が作った曲をたくさん知っていそうだし。(粛清ロリ神レクイエムとか)

今回みたアニメ確かに東方好きが集まって作ったものなんですが素人が作ったというよりはその道についての知識が豊富な方が作ってるからクォリティが高いんですよね。 しかも今回聴いた曲を歌っている人は別の名義でも活動している歌手なのでクオリティが高くなるんですよね。 あと今回聴いたぜひ4曲フルでも聴いてほしいです。

This fanmade anime also has an ending per episode (it's at 18 episodes so far). You may be particularly interested in checking out the 果てなき風の軌跡さえ (Even the Endless Wind's Trajectory) PV. The song for it is the 14th ED of this anime, but the visuals of the PV are different from the ones in the anime and are much more interesting. There's even an Itano circus. You may also be interested in checking out some Touhou PVs made by Akatsuki Records, for example リバーストリガー (Reverse Trigger), or by Sound Holic, for example 全人類ノ非想天則 (All Mankind's Hisoutensoku).

There are 2 other notable Touhou fan anime I'd like to mention: Touhou Musou Kakyou ~ A Summer Day's Dream and Touhou Hifuu Katsudou Kiroku ~ The Sealed Esoteric History (my personal favorite). In my opinion, they're even more impressive than Memories of Phantasm, considering the fact they both have professional voice acting (with some famous VAs) and fantastic animation (not the first episodes though, you can clearly see how the animation improves episode by episode). I absolutely love the song used for the opening of The Sealed Esoteric History (Ketsubetsu no Tabi), it remixes 3 amazing Touhou themes together (Girl's Sealing Club, Innocent Treasures, and Necrofantasia).

4曲目の「花鳥風月」、 歌詞が本当に良くて聴くたびに涙が出てきます…

I really hope you jump on MinusT's stuff, if you do try them in order from oldest to newest~ They're basically 3D fanmade videos of the fights from the games

Love your reaction alot and i wish the channel will grown even more in the future too, thank you.

Too bad your not watching the Anime itself, luckily they aren't that long, but these songs are a big part of my life. I have them on all my playlists. And yes fan made projects for Touhou are absolutely insane. I might continually edit this comment. The openings and the anime themselves are loosely based on the plot of the games Touhou 6 on. 1st being 6 and some of 7 2nd being 11 and some of 10 3rd being mostly 9 story with some of 8 4rth being 8

5:27 不意打ちで笑った

東方Project聴いてくれるのマジで嬉しい(*ˊᵕˋ*)

So, from memory. The first opening is an arrange/cover of "The Gensokyo the Gods loved" from Touhou 10. The 2nd one is "Last Remote" from Touhou 11. 3rd one is "Fate of Sixty Years" from Touhou 9 (the final boss's theme, that shortie that lectured the sleepy one on the spider lily valley) 4th one is "Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke", the theme of Fujiwara no Mokou (The Phoenix) from Touhou 8. . But yes, they're covers made for the anime. Now to solve random questions. "Why are they fighting each other?" simply put, because Touhou. They play-fight for anything really, but there's Incidents that do require some beating (like that one with an arm cannon who was going to destroy the world with her newfound powers) "spider lilies? it's like death right?" yeah, the sleepy one (Komachi) is a shinigami (God of Death) and the ferrywoman that carries the souls to the afterlife where Shikieiki Yamaxanadu (the shortie, who's a Yama, those who judge where souls go when they die) Judges them and decides their fate (Hell, Heaven, Underworld, etc), so yeah, Komachi is basically an underling of Shikieiki, the scolding happening because Komachi slacked off and souls accumulated, manifesting as the spider lilies. "Who's the good guy?" You'd always want to root with Reimu's side (the protagonist), also there's barely any encounters where there's an "evil", they just beat each other up because of conflicting ideas or wanting to stop someone from doing something dumb. There's like less than 5 touhou characters that are strictly evil (Seiga Kaku, a necromancer and wicked hermit. Seija Kijin, who's more of a troublemaker than strictly evil, because she is all about being opposite to all really. Parsee Mizuhashi, this one is controversial because she doesn't actively seek out evil either, but she's always against anyone that approaches her because of her infinite jealousy (she has the ability to manipulate jealousness, but it also made her be jealous of all and thus is never really happy (poor her)) And maybe some others who I might not remember rn, there aren't many considering the total amount of characters there are surpasses the hundreds) Anyways that's about it because it got long enough and probably because of that no one is going to read this 😅

As a long time Touhou enjoyer it's good to see new people expose to this rabbithole. So the thing about Touhou is that the original game is consider itself a original "doujin game" where ZUN, the main Touhou dev, sell it at comiket (a doujin market convention). That make it kinda more "with the mass" than normal game release and it generate fan from different doujin circle. With how simple but interesting character and story and also a banger ost not to mention that ZUN himself know the mindset of doujin creator so the IP it's is initialy not copyright (have to do it later since unrelate party try to make the name their own) that make it more safe to create doujin work of it and it's kind snowballed now Touhou even have their own comiket called Reisaitai. On unrelated note would you interest in reaction to music from arknights? If so I would you to see your reaction to 'Arknights EP - Radiant' since it's good entry point for this another rabbit hole lol

Love the Touhou reactions, so much amazing music, both fan made and from the games themselves. All the opening are fan arrangements of theme songs from the games.

Hoping for more Touhou reactions in the future!

東方だと【3D東方】EternalNightなんかもおすすめですよ！曲と映像が素晴らしいです！

I like your reaction！

"Why are they fighting each other?" Cause why not? Their fights often start over very little.

Touhou is brought to life by fans. While touhou's creator, Zun, makes touhou, fans take over and bring this series to life, which Zun basically encourages for the most part. This is to say, touhou fans go nuts. Lots of anime OPs, parodies, fan games, merchandise, music, manga/doujin and etc... Welcome to the rabbit hole. You haven't even reached the tip of this iceberg. Also this is RU-vid, take a dive into touhou on nico nico douga if you got a chance, its chaos incarnate. 1 final note, the singer is Senya, and all songs are remixes of touhou songs with lyrics on them.

There are also English lyrics versions of ``Iroha Nioedo Chirinuruwo'' and ``Kachoufuugetru'' on RU-vid. Google Translate is amazing because it allows me to understand and compose sentences even though my English was always at a low point when I was a student.

damn the old memmories hit me so hard

I recommend "Three Fairies SAY YA!!!", it's a song done by Shinra-Bansho, it's based on one of the official Touhou mangas!

5:14 “That one’s massive innit.” we all know what we’re talking about. If you say you don’t you either are a pervert or just seriously don’t know.

ふふふ、これは二次創作だから色々と、あるのだー このアニメもたぶん個人制作の二次創作物なのだ、だから色んな作品がありまくるのだー^_^

Nice if been a fan for years... And yes the anime is fan made

If I were to recommend something from Touhou, I would also recommend the 3D anime series uploaded to RU-vid by a person called minuts T. This is also a fan-made work, but it successfully incorporates the original STG game experience into a video work of extremely high quality.

I would suggest to listen to the music from the Doujin Circles of the Touhou fanbase because their arrangements are bloody fire mate!

Would strongly recommend minus t for some animations and mega frog for some lore explanation

You should check out Eientewi! Or flan chans frightful song, they are my favorite songs haha

やっぱりどれもいい曲だわ

東方Projectよ永遠なれ……

Yuuhei Satellite is so beautiful

Most of what supports Touhou is derivative work. The quality is very high and I can see that Touhou is loved very much, and I want to continue to love Touhou.

昔見てたから反応してくれて嬉しい😎 英語もっと勉強して翻訳なしで分かるようになりたいです

Yes Memories of Phantasm is a Fanmade anime

いつ見ても素晴らしいアニメーション ファンメイドの最高峰ですね 可愛くて、美しくて、非常によく揺れています 5:16 Oppai dekai !!

人間が大好きな壊れた妖怪の唄はおすすめですよ！ (I really recommend “Song of the Broken Yokai that Humans Love”! (It's a Google translation, so it might be wrong))

日本語お上手です！！👏

Who fights who? Answer: YES Basically all disagreements can be solved through fighting in Danmaku battles. Whether it be a friendly fight between friends or resolving an incident.

open source, the game

「「gensou mangekyou」」

英語苦手だけど多分これが東方ファンが作ったものなの！？って驚いてるのかな 多分これ初めて見る人ほとんど同じ反応すると思う()

魂魄妖夢を風間いろはと勘違いしてる

My previous comment vanished...strange. Anyway, I just wanted to say Marcia, one of the vocalists from Yuuhei Satellite, the band that does the vocal versions of these Touhou songs used in the anime's opening, is a vTuber! Here's her little channel, check her out, she's super talented! ru-vid.comlQIZbkgZarU

途中おっぱいでかいって聞こえた気がする

Can you please react to persona 3 reload opening song Full Moon Full Life?
