ADDITIONAL NOTE: i was immediately hooked by the introduction mentioning how some found themselves drawn in by it and had no reason why. touhou has been a major hyperfixation for years, nothing has outlasted it and with my realizations of Being Witch is Cool i can see how an element of spiritual power contributed to how consistent my love and attention for the series.

ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL NOTE: i realize there is only a single other piece of media which has kept me as enraptured by it as touhou to the degree of its caliber. that of which is umineko when they cry, judging from the things ive heard about the themes it dabbles with (havent finished even episode 1 of the VN, read the whole manga at first), suddenly it makes a LOT of sense why only these two have kept my attention.
I have only watched the Umineko anime a long time ago, but I have a friend who has played all of the VNs and they apparently get very much occult at some point.
id say it leans way way more into spiritual themes than occult, despite the presence of witches and magic. a lot of it revolves around some really interesting themes of belief!! id say its magical in subject matter, but the text itself is more tantamount to scripture... i remember watching some dusty old youtube guy who reviewed mostly classic literature talk about reading umineko and despite him not seeming (CONT.)
(CONT.) very spiritual himself, the amount of reverence he showed speaking of the texts would make ya think otherwise!! from what ive heard the final episode cranks it up by a LOT, thats where i hear folks say it changed their belief system fundamentally. it seems like a very very potent work, one day ill read it through...
