It's very disappointing. So many doujin translations. So few official works translations.
It took like 5 years for the Cage of a Lunatic Runagate series to be completely translated. I had to buy the editions, scan them, and upload them to the wiki myself. It's pathetic.
Well, I'll always feel good about myself knowing I'm a TRUE touhou fan.

I'm not going to lie. So do I. Then again, it's no secret around here that I'm a Touhou fanboy.

I think it's because during interviews you get to peek inside someone's head whose work you're so familiar with but otherwise remains something of an enigma. Even in his interviews, he's kind of odd and sartorial.

I'm also 100% sure if Touhou hadn't succeeded he would have become a typical hikikomori and that's kind of interesting too. So it's insight into how our lives might have been if things were different.

>The most work I spend is trying to remember and draw out the charm of the STGs, wherever they were. By remembering what attracted me to those STGs, I used those old methods to create Touhou. To make "danmaku" attractive, I "packaged" the danmaku as what is now called a spellcard, gave it a "name" and "appearance" that carried it's meaning, eliminating things that did not fit with the game over preserving "characters and abilities", prioritizing the stories and sense of overbearing of the danmaku over the "portraits and conversations", matching the "music" with the characters and danmaku within the game, all of these were created to completely align with the original danmaku (spellcards). All for the charm of danmaku, that charm is the charm of games.

I'm not particularly excited about those.

The interviews were interesting and all, but I don't know if he was being modest or what, because I didn't feel the burning passion he must have to think up such a wonderful world.

And I didn't like the part about how fans would eat anything if the drawings reach a minimum quality level.

They're not. If you were paying attention, ZUN thinks it takes away originality if he would just copy the style the mass production type already does. "They're silly. Don't you find such things lovable?"

Well, at the very least, I do. ZUNstyle is best. KamS is a close follow-up. Touhou just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for that special touch.
