The best way to learn to play Touhou is to play them on difficulties far above your play level and just try to last as long as possible.
Also, you're probably busy being distracted by the pretty patterns, but the general idea is to keep your eye fixed only a slight bit above your character, and only glance up every once in a while to make sure you know what type of pattern the attack is.
Experiment by trying to see how close you can go to a bullet before you die. You'll find your hitbox is very small, and the bullet hitboxes are actually smaller than they look too. You can actually beat Touhou on easy mode with almost no movements at all. I could even try doing a "minimal movement runthrough" of a few stages for you if you want to see what I'm talking about. The attacks only look intimidating but if you stand still sometimes the bullets just pass right through.

Maybe I've just grown to be boring and stale but this is actually one of the few things I'm looking for nowadays...

I'm assuming that the Touhou anime is actually just a crossover with Anime Tenchou, and they're summoned by various characters. Or, Yukari.

Possible, however I seriously doubt its the "unofficial anime" we've been hearing about. Because it was an official video, had ZUN in it, and didn't display any of the trademark unofficial anime logos or even mention of their group.

It was too dark to even get anything out of it... :< Maybe because it's my lamp angle.

Unofficial anime? THe doujin anime made a year or two ago? And never got a second episode?
This is different. It's made by ufotable. They did the Kara no Kyoukai movies and Manabi Straight, among other things I can't recall. Real animation company doing a semi-official anime. Or official. Can't tell if ZUN cares or not, or if his views changed.

Yes that anime, however the people who did that have recently started up again with the equipment and effects of a full fledged company.

Eh? Just checked and afaik, all they're doing still is vocal arranges and soundtrack mixes.

Took me 300 runs through the level, with like 30 of them actually trying the boss...
The miniboss is pretty entertaining once you get the patterns down. I've only made it through the level without dying only once.
Best score I've gotten so far was 50 million, with about 400% motivation at the end.

Once Marisa's Crunch spell kicks in, the difficulty curve skyrockets. And it was hard enough as it was.
