When /jp/ was new and I was glancing at parts of Touhou threads, I thought Alice was the main character and Reimu was the main villain.

Anyone get silly misled ideas, when trying occasionally trying to decipher the constant conversation?

>> No.2242132

Back before /jp/ I always thought Touhou was a manga from the threads I saw on /a/. I didn't know the games existed, nor did I care to know.

I thought it was some weird anime with terrible character designs.

Well, now I know it's a game with terrible character designs.

Because of the ironic pictures of Cirno looking smart (usually with glasses, like that one of her in front of that huge equation) I thought she was supposed to be the genius of the series.

OP, I still don't get it.
The only one I know for sure is that Cirno is some sort of stupid ice fairy that enjoys freezing frogs, frogs being her mortal enemy.
For the rest of them? I can't figure it out. There's this big blonde one that I think is the boss and a little fairy blonde one that I think she created.
Dunno. I just don't get it.
And please don't point me towards that Touhou wiki. That's written by fans so it doesn't help. The learning curve is way too steep.

Just play the games. One month ago I had zero knowledge of Touhou, today I can recognize most characters by name.

If you are really interested, start with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
