With a staff of only 3 people (1 character designer, 1 animator and 1 music composer), the doujin circle Kinema Kan is planning to bring the world of Touhou to life, with no less than an animated film on DVD. Feel the power of an independent circle. Here’s the magnificient trailer:
Everything looks absolutely polished, in a very mainstream anime way rather than the usual indepedent artsy type. The song is great and very Touhou-like, and even the background art is vivid and lively. Epic!
The DVD will be out on the March 14th Reitaisai, a super big event dedicated solely to the Touhou universe. One guy creates a game world of his own, and people follow through with animation and exclusive events. Powerful is a game creator today.

Yeah, the Touhou promo is very very pretty. Go doujin culture!
It’s pleasing that the animators gave Marisa a lot of love in that teaser.
i watched this too. i am really impressed with the animation, not to mentioned this is only doujin anime and it kicks some of those mainstream anime ass!!
