Great Fairy Wars, right? It's pretty darn awesome.

The are so many of them is crazy. I still like its music though..
The music is part of it, but the Touhou series also have my favourite shmup games from a gameplay perspective. It especially has a good amount of really fun and intense boss battles. And while the in-game dialouges are rarely very informative, there is also quite a lot of interesting lore and backstory to a lot of the things if you just dig a bit.

Yuyuko/the final boss of Touhou 7 is probably one of my top 10 favourite final bosses of all time. Mostly because of how insanely intense and atmospheric her final spellcard/attack pattern is. And if you add the whole backstory with Saigyou Ayakashi, that part of the battle just becomes even more epic.

Similary, I also think Utsuho Reiuji is right up there among my top 10 favourite final bosses. Her boss battle fits the character so perfectly. You are fighting against a person from hell who has obtained the powers of a sun god. And during the entire battle, it actually really feels like just that. She fills the screen with giant fireballs and even small suns in a way that just prefectly displays her power.

...and then there are all the actually awesome, countless fanon things that has spawned from these games. =D
