Touhou - Birth of a Bullet Hell [The History of Touhou] (ft. Sr Pelo, Maxmani, Virtlux, Beastmaster)

My final year project for university. I wanted to make something that would celebrate the reason why I began to get into the creative industry and video editing as a whole. So without further ado, here's what I got. Enjoy!

[@nebula-yt]

pero

[@LimaBr_]

pelo how can you go from the funniest man on earth to the most calming man to have a very good conversation in no seconds?

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

Also in 2010 Touhou got listed in Guinness Books of Record as the most prolific fan based shooter series

[@IsamoNashimara-Link]

Nice.

[@Skullgod12]

Bro I did not expect this to be a history video on ZUN’s actual life

[@Gyrokun]

well, they could've dived a bit deeper into his actual likes in the pc98 section if they wanted to 😆

[@Metaklang]

@@Gyrokun I really wish I could but time constraints and schedules for university REALLY hit after the golden age portion of the video :(

[@Gyrokun]

@@Metaklang oh no worries Meta, I was just making a pun on their comment saying Zun's actual _like_ instead of life :P And constraints aside, this was still a fabulous tribute to both the series and Zun's career development, and I'm very glad I remained subscribed to see you put it together 🙏💟

[@PerlDrop]

Such a well put together vid man, well done!!

[@Tohorazen]

very wholesome ending, i think a lot of people can relate when yall talk about how much touhou changed your lives, including myself. when i got interested in 2hu it really felt like i had found a true passion in my life that i never knew i would have

[@kapi_yakumo]

I can humbly agree that touhou has been very foundational to my life for the past 4-3 years I have a very hard time trying to explain my feelings in words. I sure hope touhou will follow me for the rest of my life

[@IsamoNashimara-Link]

I’ve been a part of the community for a little while, but this world and the residents Ive met in it truly mean a lot. Its good to see another creator rising up. Continue the beautiful work. we’ll support you all the way :)

[@SMA11OWL]

This is a very well made history video, after all the silly-hahas of your channel, this is a very down to the point experience which ended up being really well made. Good job metaklang.

[@MarioGm734]

That was so dope with the introduction. I love it! It’s also nice to listen to some history of the beloved Touhou series and the man himself, ZUN. Well done. And thanks so much for the credit. I honestly feel so honored despite being such an underrated composer.

[@Metaklang]

No, thank YOU for creating such a fire remix 😂

[@GensouChronicle]

Hope you get a good grade for this. 👍

[@Metaklang]

I sure hope so 😅

[@LimaBr_]

ayo its the guy who makes banger videos

[@Skullgod12]

Holy crap its that drunk guy

[@yehwat527]

I might've commented too much, but what I love about Touhou is its story and pretty much the concepts each characters possess. As well asthe inspirations the are taken from, and even the complementing references thay all have. It's so inspiring man! Even the music is great even if some find it "noisy" 🥰

[@KingoftheBashful]

OMG, Metaklang remembered his youtube password.

[@kapi_yakumo]

Oh my god This Thee video essay. Another reminder that touhou has taken over my life. And that I must praise Zun and the TH community for all the great things. I'm very confident I will stick with touhou for the rest of life

[@DianaHatter]

Love that you picked this theme for the final work, I hope to do something I'm passionate about too

[@RhythicManRhythm]

I'm already enjoying this video so far. I know it's going to be a great watch.

[@flyingrafts7287]

I hope this project does well!!! Maybe it'll inspire some people to get into Touhou...

[@sheepcommander_]

such a good intro... aaaa.. AAAAA THE SFX

[@noobuperman]

Good video👍 I like it Thank you for all the Information

[@crosswegan1543]

banger video can't wait for it to get 1M views

[@kiiview]

if someone at my university did their final project on touhou i would not interact with them

[@Gyrokun]

why tho

[@yehwat527]

Touhouis cool with its hotbox! You get to dodge tighter patterns, and at the same time, larger crowds of bullets are not much of a problem = cool patterns!

[@kuadralinkzero5197]

History of ZUN and how he created Touhou games

[@Gyrokun]

Gensokyo Double-Decade ~ History of the ZUN

[@yehwat527]

Lmao, I honestly love HSiFS. Maybe because it's my first, but honestly, yeah I can't remember most of them ToT like Nemuno for example... they don't stand out much!

[@ars33nicmarie]

PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK META WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@xoantwist2]

this dwarfs Phêgame's version by a hundredth

[@Dukstless]

Some minor nitpicks: HRtP is 20 stages in a "4 normal stages, 1 boss" pattern. The iconic 6 stage format wouldn't be established until Lotus Land Story (as SoEW had 5 stages, which to my knowledge was the more typical format for shmups ZUN was inspired by, and PoDD was 9). While talking about Soku's release, you showed both SWR and Soku. Easy way to tell is the spirit gauge: SWR uses round orbs, while Soku uses hexagons. Why they decided to redo the UI, I don't know, but they did. You also somehow just skipped over Shoot the Bullet and only mentioned Double Spoiler lol (ISC was different and VD... was rushed, to put it nicely).

[@Metaklang]

Yeah I noticed the SWR and Soku issue during rendering but I was running low on time (only finishing the final render ON the due date for university lol) so I couldn't fix it unfortunately also the 6th stage format was a complete oversight, I genuinely forgot that SoEW only had five stages and such. With the side games like shoot the bullet and such, again it was a matter of time as the video was meant to be only 20 minutes maximum for the project brief. But hey, I guess my lectures are just gonna have to deal with 25 mins 😂

[@beastmasterzeman]

Meta you are making me relapse ^^"

[@fumo-fumo-fumo]

ZUN LORE!?!?!?!?

[@Gyrokun]

Every Touhou's gotta have lore, including him

[@vincdraws4742]

Metaklang upload out of nowhere lets gooo

[@maddo3104]

Nice job

[@abder200]

we are so back

[@sheepcommander_]

OH SHIT

[@camz92]

who up junyaing they ota

[@thatonetojiko4660]

i just realized u were just a grown man suffering autism, depression and loneliness. only to rely on what amusement your insanity brings you as it also, acknowledged by people alike, and thus gives you acceptance. all this time...

[@Metaklang]

I think you might be reading a little too much into it bro 😂

[@happyyeet7053]

[@Metaklang]

NaufalDreamer

[@MrDiscane]

It all started in 1917, I knew it!

[@Gyrokun]

what

[@shirleymaemattthews4862]

I wonder if they'll explain in this video about why most of the touhou yokai girls look more like cute girls than actual youkai. As well as the weid stuff in the fanbase.

[@DianeSteele]

is there even a speck of whimsy in your soul

[@dogethedoge25]
