I've been saying this since MLP got big. I think MLP really has become the western Touhou in every meaning of the word. |

@424321: Baby's first troll?
But yeah, they're not really that close. A few common traits do not a connection make. "Magical hidden land" doesn't apply much to either series, considering Equestira seems to be in a completely different universe or time period, and Gensokyo is right there in Japan, just walled off. Many shows/games have a largely female cast, check the "Pink Bishoujou Ghetto" entry on TV Tropes. And mundane use is the best part of magic and flying. To them, asking them not to use their magic for that stuff is like asking you to not use one of your arms. Huge internet following, meh, a lot of things have that. And Touhou's is considerably larger. I'll give you the creators taking an interest in the fandom, but I'll also chalk that up to ZUN and Faust being awesome. As for the tea guests... I don't see much of that in MLP. Luna and the manticore were special cases. I can't see them holding a pleasant conversation with the dragon, hydra, cockatrice, etc. And I assume "lesbian subtext" doesn't count the time Reimu openly hit on Meira. Last up is the terrifying fandom. A common symptom of large fandoms and internet followings. So yeah, while they're both great, there's little real connection there. Just a bunch of random correlations. |

| AkatsukiKaizoku #424581 10 months ago |
Yukari and Celestia are troll oldbeings...
Also Vinyl Scratch and Oktavia are like the Prismiver sisters (less one). Obvious Cirno and Derpy are obvious. Rarity and Remilia with... THOSE CHARISMA BREAKZ!!1!!! If we go by Cupcakes.. Pinkie is related to Flandre... But by an extent, to Koishi as well Teleport hax and heroine hax... Yes, pretty much Twi and Reimu Nitori and Fluttershy, I mean, Nitori RUNS AWAY from you when she sees you in Mountain of Faith. I disagree with RD and Marisa, if someone can be related to Marisa, that's Trixie, except that she is not that DARING as Marisa, I mean, Master Spark. And if Dashie is related to someone, that's Aya, I mean, Aya is fast as hell. Applejack... Hmmmm, this one is hard... She works hard, so maybe she's Youmu probably, but it's kinda weird |

Flying incredibly common? In Gensokyo that's like saying having legs is common. In Equestria only 1/3 of the population (assuming equal numbers of all types of ponies) can fly. |

| ModernWarmare #426211 10 months ago |
There is an obvious correlation between the two but I think the biggest similarity is that they both encourage elaborate fanworks because neither original property is worried about losing financial success. ZUN doesn't want to go full commercial and Hasbro can take whatever risks they want with FiM because they profit on the toyline, not the show.
Then there's the all-female cast with ubiquitous yuri shipping and lots of How is Babby Formed, intriguing fantasy world that fans explore through derivative works, and minor characters fleshed out through fan discussion. Anything else is superficial. |

Hey! Whoah! I'm the guy who made this! Who the fuck thought it was worth saving!?
I can explain the innaccuracies easy: I hadn't seen the show, thought the overexcited fanbase was lame, and was using it to try and start shenanigans on reddit. Of course, these stupid technicolor horses ended up being too endearing to resist, so by now I've bought a 20% Cooler shirt and am counting down to season 2's air date. |

Only the Western fandom, friend. But Touhou is more massively popular than Ponies, loved internationally, and it was handcrafted by a single drunken master with alcohol as a fuel source. The Pony fandom is just a tiny smudge on its beautiful face and Touhou is the same to the Pony but bigger. All haters in this room from both sides must agree and will agree that any crossover between the two is a mistake and the one responsible for doing it should receive terrible reprimand from each fandom with extreme prejudice. |

HakureiIllusion said pretty much everything, this is just random correlations, with this you can correlate everything to everything:
Naruto/Fairy Tail: Yesterday oponent is tomorrow friend.(Itachi, some of the tail demons, I bet sasuke will turn a friend later too,.../Gazeel, Juvia, Urtear,...) Bleach: Happens in a hidden magical land. Team Fortress 2: One sex main cast. Death Note: Shinigamis fly normally. All of the above gets huge internet following.But Touhou has Extremely Colossal Internet following. Touhou has hundreds dedicated games(fan-made), 2 in real life trading card games(Vision phantom Magic[like Magic, the gathering], and Chaos TCG[an entirely new concept]), Annual Concerts, dozens of orchestral bands remixing their musics, a couple of dedicated animes, countless flash animations, thousands of cosplayers, more than 16 years of history, people crazy enough to beat all the games in lunatic mode, hundreds of fan stands at the Comiket event, annual popularity pools with filtred thousands of voters, and more than 500 characters. When any anime/cartoon/game/manga/light novel/visual novel/any kind of media gets all of the achievements above, I will acknowledge its internet following.(note: not even hatsune miku has all that fanbase). |
