[QUOTE="vale-aroma, post: 35944, member: 2460"] 1) Touhou's gameplay is setup to a very meditative end. It perfects the already very meditative danmaku genre by having a much higher degree of musical sophistication & thematic completeness that draws the player into the Center, like a koan. To perfect the discipline of danmaku is already one of the most spiritual paths in gaming - Touhou perfects this. 2) It's no shock that Zun uses whatever means available to access another, spiritual realm. Gensokyo is itself built as a spiritual other realm, the lore stating that when gods, mythical heroes, saints, etc, fall out of favor with the Outside World, they fall into Gensokyo. This as an active process is seen in several of the manga, such as Silent Sinner in Blue showing them recycling forgotten lore & myths of the retro Space Age. You can see this in the fandom - certain morbid /jp/ memes about how to "enter Gensokyo", or lighter but still equally potent ones in /jp/ adjacent lucid dreaming communities. 3) After Miya died, a simpering walk through the desert of no-posting, and then the lost souls of that community centered around [URL='https://remilia.org/']Remilia Collective[/URL] - one of the most fascinating vanguards in esoteric internet, through them a new movement of "Network Spirituality".
