Touhou
| Well there are touhou fangames for like every genre. If you like JRPGs there is Labyrinth Of Touhou 2 or the pokemon inspired Puppet Dance Performance. For platformers there is New Super Marisa World or Megamari. Most of the games however you will need to get a language patch for
| Are there any games i should also get into from the actual series? Or is it mainly the fangames that make the fandom
| If you like shmups yeah I would definitely give them a try. A lot of people start with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil since it introduces a lot of really popular characters. I also suggest Imperishable Night cuz it's on more of the easier side. If you want a recent and on steam one you could try Hidden Star in Four Seasons. The actual games give a good intro and allows you to make sense of the references but I would say the fan content contributes the most to the fandom
| I like to sort the Touhou fandom in 3 categories: The original games, the music (including covers), and the characters/lore (art, images, manga doujins, memes, etc are included here). Many fans are only interested in one of these but others are interested in 2 or all 3. I see Touhou as something so diverse that the definition on what Touhou is is different for many different fans.
| There are actually many things to start off with in the Touhou fandom! Of course, you don't necessarily need to play Touhou itself to get into it; there's always playthroughs of the Touhou games incase you are not that... good at the games. Of course, always start with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil if you'd want.
| Never beat any of the games. I started with reading Touhou doujins and I got to know the characters and the Touhou memes through that. Just used Exhentai and filtered through non-H. There's some series on Danbooru, too. After that started I played some fangames, listened to the music, visited Touhou forums from time to time, etc.
| Do whatever you feel like, there is no actual entry point. I suggest reading official literature.
| There are Touhou anime episodes out there, somehow the bullethell games give the anime more life.
The first episode made me realize just how comfortable Kotatsu tables are.
| Oh oh! You should play the most recent Touhou game, that way in the long run you'll be able to look back and knkw when it all started.
The music in-game is surprisingly addictive. The most recent one is Touhou 16.
| Is there an any English support for the game on steam? If not, is there a way to get a translation? I think getting the game on steam is the easiest for me

All Touhou games are free on a few websites, there's a sort of "modpack" I don't remember the name but you insert what you wanna download (English or English-alt) and it'll make a shortcut for that version.
| I would also sat to start with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, then Move to Imperishable Night. If you actually have IRL friends I also recommend either Phantasmagoria games.
