--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Musoukakyo: A Summer's Day Dream (2008/12/29)

This is the first episode of the "Touhou Anime Project". The Touhou Anime Project is a doujin, meaning that it's not made by people in paid commercial animation studios, for the most part. The anime project is based off of a vertical shooting game called "Touhou" created by Team Shanghai Alice (ZUN). It is a doujin (non-commercial) game and is almost made entirely by 1 person, ZUN. It's a shooter that focuses on dodging enemy bullets more than the shooting part, and the bullets which come at you are designed in very beautiful patterns. The game takes place in a Japanese fantasy setting with well designed characters. So basically the Touhou Anime Project is a fan work from the game Touhou and was approved to be created. Already watched the first episode and for a doujin work it's actually pretty well done. So here's the youtube of the trailer.
