I doubt that "official" Touhou works will be more extensive than things like Bougetsushou, barring some huge change in ZUN's outlook on things. Besides, as it is, they've already done official comics with three of the prominent doujin artists; I suspect that comics will probably continue that way, but I don't see a major anime in the offing.

I am reminded of the Fate series... Undocumented factors? You intrigue me, did you have anything in mind?

Do you think there already lie certain factors that aren't documented, which could lead to the Touhou bubble getting burst?
