東方奇闘剧·外伝

"Touhou Kidougeki Gaiden" is a series of video works created by the Japanese doujin circle AQUA STYLE, based on the worldview and character designs of the Touhou Project game series. Its main features include story dialogues that progress like a game and battle scenes presented in the style of the Super Robot Wars series. The works produced so far mainly include Touhou Kidougeki 1, 2, 3, and Gaiden. Released in 2008 as a side-story installment, following the principle of continuous improvement, this work's overall quality has been elevated compared to its predecessors, with more dazzling character moves and smoother action sequences. Due to the series' game-like content being so convincingly realistic, it has led to many uninformed viewers, after watching the videos, searching various websites for "the game in the video." This very phenomenon illustrates the success of this series.
