I will start with talking about my country, Romania: We are a small-medium nation just at the border of the Balkans with Eastern Europe. In general, foreign pop culture used to, and still does, comes with a very long delay, sometimes of even 5-10 years. When we were getting cartoons as children, many of them were already at their god knows how much-th rerun in th US and the West (yes, we grew up with Cartoon Network, Getix and later Disney Channel in the early 2000s), and we were never getting a full series, just a few seasons that were dubbed. Anime broadcasting was not a thing, at least not since the end of 1990s on Romanian television. Even today, many people would not understand if you made a reference from a foreign series, as nowadays it is mostly on us, the teenagers, thanks to the internet, to see what is going on outside. And for this reason, for a lot of time, I thought Touhou would be a completely niche series, that nobody heard of. Things changed though when I found out apparently there is a Romanian Discord server dedicated to Touhou and its community. The series is still very much underground here, as our pop culture seems to be very much still isolationist (possibly a result of 45 years of communism, followed by 30 years of uncertain democracy), and so people were not too interested in foreign pop culture. Anyway, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one: (this is not a promotion; I am simply amazed a community exists at all in here)

I saw a girl cosplay as Reimu one time at highschool but that is really about it. However, whenever I drive out of my apartment complex, I see a car with like 10 fumos.

yeah people here seem nice. i never realised there were active forums until the legal issues incident much better place to talk to people than horny 4chan

It's nice that you guys in Romania have your own discord for touhou. I remember watching shows that were also just a few seasons on channels like Getix. My first introduction to anime was Tokyo Mew Mew but in the west it was dubbed as Mew Mew Power. As for the UK, you can pretty much find a lot of fans here. I was surprised when I found out that a lot of people I was talking to on twitter or discord were actually close by. To be honest, I think that's great cause if there were any fan events here, I wouldn't have to worry about travel.

Argentino también Nah I don't think there is. I guess there's a general hispanic community.

Hope you guys are ready because it's an emergency! we got a japanese goblin invasion right there!

oh damn i refound this place
