News here.

Admittedly, I don't know much about Touhou to say anything about this. I just found it on Animesuki and decided to make a thread about it.

The entire story is just replays of people going through the story shooting at blobs and avoiding the other blobs. ZUN is main artist.

Dude, old news. It was shown at a con and is never going to hit the market because they pissed off ZUN by doing it without his permission

Everyone always does everything without his permission, but this time they tried to sell it as a commercial product (as opposed to a doujin product). He's cool with anything as long as it stays doujin.

Oh, and he's never going to approve an official anime.

I might have missed something, but I'm fairly certain it was technically doujin. It was being released at cons and whatnot, and ZUN revised the rules for derivative works to disallow professional studios from doing any animation at all

Reading the linked article in the top post, it seems it was being sponsored by the actual owners of Anime Tenchou (the thing it was being crossed over with) and shown alongside other commercial anime like Steins Gate at a company-sponsored convention. So... not really going through normal doujin channels.

Anyway, really old news and dead by now.

That announcement is old news. Has there been any other news of this since September of 2010?

There were ads for a DVD release quite some time ago (March, I think). There was no date for when said release would be, and nothing has happened since

Hasn't there been a Touhou fan anime before already? With big names, voice actor-wise, but bad quality (from what I heard, I never saw it myself, so I can't judge)?

I also noticed that, along with the Touhou anime, they're also making an Anime Tencho special.

Am I the only one anticipating the best part of Lucky Star *

is becoming a full-blown special?

[up][up]That's Touhou Musou Kakyou. I think that one only had one episode released, and they haven't finished the rest yet for some reason.

From what I hear, it got canned because it didn't sell. And since animation is very expensive...

the only good touhou anime is the iosys music videos

[up][up]

A trailer for episode 2 was released.

Also a non voiced BEAUTIFULLY animated 15 minute or so touhou anime was released.

Sometimes I do wish ZUN would allow an official anime, but only if he had like 100% control, and it had an awesome budget with a stellar cast.

But I understand his reasoning behind not wanting one.

[up] Those are overrated.

You seem to be misunderstanding things. Anime Tencho is a pre-existing mascot for a certain anime store. Lucky Star used him, but they didn't make him up. He was himself an anime reference within that show, in that he was already a widely known mascot in Japan.

Furthermore, this latest Touhou project (which I'm pretty sure is now dead) was also a Lucky Star-esque crossover involving both Anime Tencho and Touhou. That's what it was supposed to be. I guess it would involve Touhou characters ending up in the real world somehow and shopping at that store? That's the kind of thing this was.
