The difference between this and Touhou is that Touhou has a small hitbox (a few pixels in size, literally.)

DoDonPachi (and any game in that series) takes this further, they're even smaller.

And, additionally, Mushihimesama Futari...

To the end of utter ridiculousness...

Touhou (aka TH) is actually pretty solid in terms of difficulty and has a varying array of them as well if you want them (as well as an extra mode if you beat Normal mode without continuing). Perfect Cherry Blossom or Imperishable Night are good starts.

I'm not too deep in danmaku (mainly Touhou - Imperishable Night, which is the 8th Touhou in the series so far), but I can only second the post from Fate Testarosse, when it comes to Imperishable Night.
It has a very good learning curve, unlike TH - Mountain of Faith, which seems to be quite challenging for beginners ... Suwako's final spell card in Stage 6 anyone (even on easy very challenging for me)?

Nevertheless also a good game, but personally I adore Imperishable Night much more.

Also audio-wise IN has a lot of very memorable tracks in general like Extended Ash, History of the Moon, Voyage 1969 & 1970 (sadly in the sequels not as good as here, except some single tracks like 'Native Faith' from MoF), and you can unlock an additional spell card for each boss in their levels, if you perform good - no dieing and collecting Time Orbs. If you get one, you have to beat it without bombs (they are crossed out), but if you die you won't lose a life on a bonus card.

Nice, and although I'm not too fond about games in anime-style (due to my age maybe?), Touhou - IN simply rocks

If you think that's bad, you haven't had your fair share of the 11th one, Subterranean Animism. That's ridiculous.
