Where tha porn at?

Where's that guy's porn at?

Also, where the videogames?

What exactly do you do?

Do you steal porn?

>>10125148
There are a couple departments with different jobs. My department is responsible for the vendors for official merchandise, the information center, and the lost and found.

There's lots of porn all around but you'll find it sold mainly on the third day. Video games are sold on the second day.

>>10125227
So you mostly just answer questions and tell people where to go?

also when's catalog coming out

>>10125227
Hey you got any word on Touhou or Touhou fan-based works being released?

>>10125234
>>10125236

Beginning this year, you can now view the catalog on the internet.
https://webcatalog.circle.ms/Map

>>10125236
Basically, yes.

Does claiming to be Comiket get you as much tail in Japan as it does in the US?

I only care about the porn.

>>10125271
Oh, that's exciting. I like the CDs in all but sometimes they're a bitch to navigate.

>>10125129
Dammit RapeWhistle, I thought you said you didn't go here. Also your taste still sucks.

Btw tell Buzzy I said hi.

Can you hook the /jp/ brothers up with one of those get in early ticket access things? I hate long lines.

>>10125279 Not really. The Comiket staff get a special pass that lets you in without the hassle of getting in line, which some do guys use to pick up girls. But strictly speaking, it's not allowed.

Can you prove you're Comiket staff?

Are you Asian? White? Black?

What's a guy have to do to get a job at Comicket?

>>10125090
I'd like to see the number of accepted Touhou circles for the last comikets. The last data I saw is years old.

Who'd win in a fight, Thanos or Batman?

Which Touhou would you develop loving relationship with?

>Placticing English

Since you are here to practice English you should really take care that you don't get L and R confused in words, like "practice." It sounds really silly to English speakers when someone gets them mixed up. It's probably difficult if your native language is Japanese, though.

>>10125659

Do you smoke weed?

I heard staffs can reserve circle goods and pick them up later after comiket is over. Is it true?

Can someone explain the "pero pero" thing to me. I understand it's their equivalent of "Ching chong", but to be honest I don't even understand that. Neither languages sound like pero pero or ching chong.

Opi wa ching chong desuka?

>>10125854

No such thing as weed in Japan right?

>>10125874
That's "pera pera". "pero pero" is onomatepeia for licking, usually done by dogs.

>>10125798
I ask that because I heard, that right now comiket haves more doujins made by girls, like 2 days are for yaoi shit and the third day is for hentai, so that means lots of fujoshis fight for the best place

why do you sexualize little girls so much. is it really neccessary?

>>10125942
I agree with this sentiment.

It's very bad because now I have to hide everything Japanese so people won't think I'm a pedophile.

You better keep that to yourself and your /jp/ friends, buddy. And don't forget to lock your doors.

>>10125453
Is this image actually his? Can anyone check the data?

I don't think any Japanese would ever write "practicing" as "placticing".

>>10126031

To those saying that Touhou is declining, check the data on the link provided and check Hetalia's situation. That is what "declining" looks like.

>>10126063
>Can anyone check the data?

At first I wanted to say you can see them in your goddamn browser, but then I decided to double-check, and I guess you can't. Well, I can. Thanks for the tip, this should prove useful if I ever decide to join browser wars flames again.

How many baka gaijin attend comiket?

>>10126031
And you better fuck yourself out of /jp/, pal.

>>10126219
Where are you seeing hetalia's stats? I'm not finding those anywhere.

>>10126429
Nevermind, I found them. That was a stupid question.

This is my first time seeing such a stat table. I had no idea something like Gintama was that big.

>>10125870
It is not true.
Staff can't reserve goods.But some staff who have joined to Comiket long time have good relationship with circles.
So they can ask their friend circles for reservation.

Peopero is slang in 2ch or niconico.It mean "my waif is so pretty that I would like to lick her body"

There is a war in the last day of comiket for men.

How stressful is it being Comike staff? Or is your department okay?

Over in America convention staff can either be panicking or very laid back. Like the guys working with the press are very, very bored most of the time. Meanwhile the guys having to handle getting guests from place to place are going crazy

A note to our Japanese friends: Please exercise caution when using /jp/ as means of practicing English. Our idioms and shibboleths are not always adhering to standards of the language. For example, despite what the sentence above might suggest, "a" is not an English copula.

Are Japanese female otaku as bad as Western female otaku?

Over here, cosplayers have a reputation for being really promiscuous/slutty for example.

Is that the case in Japan?

>>10131402
All women are whores everywhere, the only difference is how obvious they present that fact.

>>10131424
All except your mother, obviously.

>>10131424
I don't believe that, seriously. I know /jp/ is misogynistic but I restrain my dislike purely to women who share my hobbies.

>>10131402
>cosplayers have a reputation for being really promiscuous/slutty for example.

I have literally never seen this view anywhere outside of 4chan. I think a lot of nerdy "beta" males tend to think of anime/manga/VNs as their safe haven away from the real world, and when nasty icky girls like it too, they dont feel as safe and tucked away anymore. It plays on all their insecurities. And thus they do what autists do best when their secret club is compromised - accuse them of being whores.

>>10131475

I'm not that guy, but we've all seen the screencaps from /cgl/.

There's a lot of girls on there who have slept with men into the double figures. And whenever anyone raises the issue they just accuse them of 'slut shaming'.

>>10131475
The problem is that girls DON'T actually like those things, they like the idea of a social/hookup community that sits alongside those things that they can then attention whore in, hence why every cosplayer dreams of outdoing each other in terms of showing off as much skin as possible, even the fatties.

>>10131509
>'slut shaming'
Wow, not sure what to respond here.

>>10131475
Speaking frankly, I just dislike the fact that girls seem to have it so easy. There's always a succession of guys who want to date them, even if they're a complete shut in. Even fatties are getting a fair amount of attention and play these days.

>>10131509
>And whenever anyone raises the issue they just accuse them of 'slut shaming'.

Because thats what you're doing. Tell me, as long as you're safe and use protection, why is bad to sleep around? And dont give me any ~anime fantasy land~ bullshit about "purity". From a philosophical, anthropological perspective, whats wrong with it? The fact they're not having with YOU? Really think about it.

>>10131539
Jesus Christ, why can't you femanons just go back to /cgl/ or something? You aren't wanted here, and neither is your 'sexual liberation' spiel.

>>10131539

No one here wants to sleep with 3D and as much as you want to appear like 'female otaku' you don't even understand what /jp/'s demographic even is.

I've heard corvids mate with only one partner for life, so I've given up on human women and I'm trying to find a corvid mate.

>>10131539

Because you can't think in more abstract terms beyond the immediate, material ramifications of your actions. That's because you're a woman, and are obsessed with sex.

A truly 'sexually free' society was always stifled because it doesn't lead to social stability, to the contrary, it leads to a small proportion of men monopolizing all the women.

Read Boys on the Run. Even shy types get monopolized by that kind of guy. Women are prepared to 'share' a very successful, attractive, top-tier guy, so it makes it very hard for everyone else.

>>10131475
> I think a lot of nerdy "beta" males tend to think of anime/manga/VNs as their safe haven away from the real world, and when nasty icky girls like it too

I can agree with this, I on the other hand tend to compare my level to the said "icky girl"

As long as they match my level I'm okay with them, in other words if they play VNs in Japanese, and have at least 100 days of watching time in anime.

If they do not fulfill these requirements I automatically see them as "sluts" since it's obvious that they haven't put enough time down on their hobby, and from that I draw the conclusion that they're most likely obnoxious low level otaku normals, that just happened to stumble upon the medium on something like Youtube or Facebook.

>>10131520
If they just wanted a social/hookup place, why wouldn't they just go to a club? Or a bar? Do you forget that most people outside of 4chan think of cosplaying as nerdy and pathetic? Its not the sort of thing that tons of well adjusted people flock to just for something to do.

Its almost like you dont think of women as individuals. They're like an animal to you, and every single one of them has the exact same personality and interests. In your mind, it is literally impossible for women to be interested in anime. Every single female that has ever cosplayed or displayed an interest in anything "nerdy" has an ulterior motive.

You're like some kind of conspiracy theorist except instead of aliens and the illumanti its women. Thats a shame, too. Aliens are much more interesting.

>>10131560
>If they just wanted a social/hookup place, why wouldn't they just go to a club? Or a bar?

Because the competition is tougher there. They can't monopolize attention to the degree they can online/in nerdy circles.

>Every single female that has ever cosplayed or displayed an interest in anything "nerdy" has an ulterior motive.

Because it's true. It's like women who claim they are into makeup/cosmetics and clothes 'for themselves'. As if they'd wear push up bras if there were no men in the world. It's just ego stroking. Everything women do orientates around men.

To be honest with you, I'm sick of you ruining decent groups of male friends. Whenever you stick your noses into our business the behavior of most of the other men changes, they become preening, desperate for attention. The whole dynamic of a group of male friends changes. I hate you for doing that, and reveling in it.

>>10131579
MRA is stupid too. Two sides of the same coin.

I just don't think women have interests or hobbies in the same way men do. It's not the same.

>>10131539
Yes, the fact that they are not having it with me and only me.

Slut.

>>10131560
Women are animals and so are men. Stop kidding yourself budd.

>>10131583
Women would wear push up bras if there were no men in the world.

You overestimate women. It's not all about getting men. It's about looking better than the bitches around them period. It's a constant competition of being the prettiest even if no mate is involved.

>>10131558
>>10131556
>>10131546
>>10131583

I love how you all assume I'm a girl just because I'm not a raging misogynist. Spoiler alert: I have a dick. Do you forget that in the real world the vast majority of men dont agree with you? Its only a very tiny, very autistic section of the male demographic that shares your views.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5OdQGbVNa4

>>10131613
I never assumed that, you are just delusional.

I'm not even a typical /jp/ beta faggot, women are just fundamentally different than men. If you ignore this, you are not only ignoring the psychology of the sexes but the biology.

Humans are complex systems, small changes internally can completely alter the behavior of a system. The biggest way to see examples of this are to look at individuals on Test and Est and notice their behavioral differences.

Regardless of sex, taking artificial supplements of these hormones will bring out the extremes in behavior, which you can then deduce make up what we call women and men behaviors.

>>10131626
I never said men and women were exactly the same. Did you even read my posts? Not being a sexist neckbeard =/= thinking the sexes are identical. You need to read more. And I'm not talking about chinese girl comics.

>>10131621
My fucking brain.

>>10131642
You need to read more, the shit you are saying is untrue because of hormonal balances.

Women are best when they have 1 partner. Very few partners is ok, but when you get above 5 a woman is basically useless as a woman.

The same isn't true for men, but it would still be better in modern times to impose the same limit just out of the idea of fairness.

So AoC is NSJ then?

>>10131402
Look at Lenfried.

What do you think?

So what's the deal with hentai? I know they have to be censored, but you really have to go through them all to make sure they are?

>eans of practicing English. Our idioms and shibboleths are not always adhering to standards of the language. For example, despite what the sentence above might suggest, "a" is not an English copula.

I'd like to point out the 'sluttiness' applies to BOTH male and female cosplayers.

Also generic shit like poly relationships...and drama.

"Or something"? What do you mean by that? Please go into great detail.

>>10134759
Nigga, think for a moment. He's just a custodian kind of guy there, he's not going to have any kind of special insider info from participating circles.

That said, 13.5 WILL have a demo and ZUN hasn't announced anything yet. Anyone can find this much out in a minute with a help of Google.

>>10125090
I'll be heading over to Comiket this winter, and I just have some general questions.

What time would you recommend a first-timer arrive at Comiket? I hear it's extremely crowded during opening time, but does that make it any less worth it to try to get in then?

In such a crowded area, is theft normally a problem? If so, how do people deal with it? I would imagine everybody is carrying large wads of cash to buy stuff with.

Since it sounds like the third day is for H-doujinshi, is it not possible to buy it on any other day? What type of booths are there on the other two days?

How much money do people normally bring to Comiket? Is 10,000 yen enough to buy much?

That's all I can think of for now.
Also, anybody is welcome to help answer these questions too. Thanks!

Do you hate gaijin

Will you be joining us at the Comiket /jp/ meetup OP?

>>10136245
Not OP but
>What time would you recommend a first-timer arrive at Comiket?

If you want to get the most famous stuff you should probably line up way before the opening time.

>In such a crowded area, is theft normally a problem?

It's Japan, not a problem.

The stuff being sold on each day isn't as categorized as you seem to think, there's H on sale on each of the 3 days.

One doujinshi commonly costs about \500, use that to estimate. DON'T think you can just use ATM to get more if you run out because there will be a line and it will be long.

>>10125090

Can I meet you at C83?

Someone complained during C81 that there were queues even before the opening at 10 AM. Is this allowed? Is the staff going to do something about it?

>>10136561
Heck, if everyone queued at 10 the event wouldn't start until 12. Of course it's allowed and everyone who wants to get in before midday does that. And obviously it's all organized by the staff.

>>10125090
is that bottle fuckable?

The best thing is there are actually more Touhou circles. It's just that they moved from Comiket to Reitaisai.

>>10136927
I would probably rather go to Reitaisai anyways.

>>10136580
I'm talking about separate queues. You can queue outside the "selling area" as early as you want. But the area with the booths are supposed to be off limits except to participants until they officially start comiket at 10 AM. This is about the selling area that is off limits before 10 AM.

>>10133305
It could be a joke, but I doubt it. Japanese people typing English fuck their Rs and Ls all the time even when the rest of their English command is somewhat decent.

Even if it is a joke, it's far from obvoius.

Hey, OP, what's the most difficult thing you had to handle as a staff member?

Why do they keep on moving around the cosplay? Sometimes it's on the roof, sometimes it's in the parking lot in back, sometimes it's on the second level, sometimes it's in the area by the pool...

>>10125872
I'll explain to you. The problem is that you are fucking retarded.

>>10137320
Just one month left.

Just one month left.

>>10136952

>>10136346
>DON'T think you can just use ATM to get more if you run out because there will be a line and it will be long.

Yeah, this is so true.

I'm a semibroke, so for each day I budgeted by bringing only enough money for stuff I knew I wanted to buy, plus 5000 yen extra in case I came across anything else I had to have, per day.

>>10146070
This is true for any major events where there are one or two ATMs and a line that feels a mile long. I usually head to the bank ahead of time if I need cash. I usually bring $300-500 with me to an event but I can easily see myself needing $1000+ (or equivalent) at comike because I would go buying crazy.

>2670

Holy Shit.

The OP here :P Sorry for the late replies. I was busy :P

>>10131079
It really depends on the departments. I heard that some departments have afterparties, but everybody in my department goes straight home to read all the doujin they bought during the day.

>>10131402
As a staff I can't really comment, but personally speaking I'd say yes.

>>10131927
Of course. We have a team of staff assembled just for that. A lot of care is taken to make sure the event complies with the law.

I really wish the Americans used their GHQ-powers to get rid of the censors when they took us over after WWII!!

>>10132108
Sorry...

>>10132194
Once or twice a day at night.

>>10132220
Who? No.

>>10136245
If you have something you want to buy from one of the major circles, or if you just want to enjoy the experience of waiting in line, then it might be worth it to come in the morning (about 5:00). Otherwise, after 12:00 is fine.

There is some theft but it's not much of a problem. There are a lot of pickpockets so you should be careful (as long as you take the usual tourist precautions).

H-doujinshi is sold every day; there's just more of it on the third day.

Also, first day -> Gundam, Tiger & Bunny, Hetalia (mainly Yaoi) etc.
second day -> mainly Touhou & Yaoi

As for money, someone already answered that.

>>10136288
If I did I wouldn't be here

>>10136346
Sorry, I can't. I would get in trouble if people found out staff was posting insider info on the internet.

>>10136561
>>10136949
It's not allowed and the staff will disband the line if they find it, but honestly usually they're too busy with everything else. I'll pass it on to the guy in charge.

>>10137006
My department has it pretty easy. For me, responding to the people who come to comiket with no clue about what it's about.

>>10137305
It's because the number of cosplayers are increasing drastically and we're trying out different way to accommodate all of them. There will be new areas in the next comiket too.

hey guys, we caught a real one in here!

>>10146558
Wait, wait, wait.
So you're saying there's a job where you need to go through all of the doujinshi to make everything is censored properly?
Isn't that like a dream come true?
You get to see all of the doujins for free (well as long as you don't have to deal with yaoi or furry shit).

One time some staff shouted at me since I just walk down the right side of the escalator since it wasnt crowded.
Why so strict?

>>10146558
>:P

It's pretty painful going through mountains of futanari etc. ... Who wants to see the Eiffel Tower doing it with the Tokyo Tower?
>>10146623 The rules prohibit walking on the elevators under any circumstances, to avoid accidents. A lot of people gather at the comiket, so it's important to take precautions to make sure nobody gets hurt.

>>10146637
No, they are no exceptions. OP, back to nip facebook with you.

>>10146674
Are you the /jp/ police?

What happen?

Why does Japan disrespect women so much?

What's stopping kids from just going to a counter at Comiket and looking at the explicit covers and posters that are strewn all over?

Tell us some more secret info OP.

Any news on the touhou game? I know they're planning on releasing a demo, but I'd like to hear some more details.
Is the number of Touhou doujinshi already confired for this year's winter Comiket?

Will ZUN be there?

>>10146802
Of course

>>10146765
Fuck off

What's the mood of the visitors on the Touhou day? Do they just get in, get their stuff, and leave, or do they hang around and talk about Touhou? Will you find people talking about Touhou X in her section and whatnot?
Also...I heard that last time, Sanae had an enormous section of Comiket devoted to porn of her. Was that true, and if so, is that a regular occurrence?

>>10146628
>I'll use a tripcode to avoid confusion. Hope it works.
Why are you so perfect?

>>10146558
>I really wish the Americans used their GHQ-powers to get rid of the censors when they took us over after WWII!!

It's weird that you guys still have censoring. We don't even do that in America. Why isn't anyone in Japan trying to get the laws removed?

Sup everyone. AMA me anything ^^

>>10147041
Can I eat you?

>>10147041

Get out ZUN. Go work on some touhou.
And try to make it good this time.

I wish it was you (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

OP, what does FC stand for in the genre listings? e.g. ＦＣ(青年)
And have there been fewer gaijin in recent years? For instance, it seemed like C72 had many more foreigners than C78. (I no longer live in Japan, so I haven't been there since then.)

This is how you're supposed to use a tripcode tripfags, take note.

>>10130740

>waif

I guess east and west uses the same word, but we say waifu because that's how it would pronounced in Japan I'm guessing. It's actually spelled wife.

>>10130740
>Peopero is slang in 2ch or niconico.It mean "my waif is so pretty that I would like to lick her body"
No it's not, ペロペロ is an onomatopoeia for licking.

What do you think of 4chan, in comparison to Japanese sites like 2channel and Futaba?

>>10149452
No, that's just OP being especially aware of "Western culture." Props to him for that. For them, it's still normally written as "俺の嫁," literally translated as "My wife."

>>10146765
Stop ruining our hobbies, cow. Go knit or something.

Your english is pretty good

Have you been to MURRICA?

Assuming it's not on the mouse what do you do with your off hand when you masturbate?

>>10149890

Oh, I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

>>10146558
>I really wish the Americans used their GHQ-powers to get rid of the censors when they took us over after WWII!!

I hate to tell you this, but that's when the americans made the censor laws. Things seemed pretty fast and loose on the topic before that, well before the war, but decent god fearing christians couldn't have pornography freely available, it just wouldn't do.

>>10146765
>Why does Japan disrespect women so much?

Assuming you're referring to Comiket, female attendance, as well as participation, has been steadily increasing over the years. But of course, we know they're only there because women flock to places where they can feel "disrespected."

>What's stopping kids from just going to a counter at Comiket and looking at the explicit covers and posters that are strewn all over?

Yeah, why do they allow that? Kids should be banned from Comiket. They shouldn't be allowed the internet or any friends either, since that's probably where they first heard about it too. Hell, we should ban kids from looking at any type of indecent artwork. They might get pregnant.

>>10150007
If all kids were locked away until the age of majority the world would be a much happier place for all parties involved.

>>10146672
>It's pretty painful going through mountains of futanari

Still not seeing the problem here.

Do people get upset or care about all the downloads that go on here, or are they happy that their name gets out in western markets this way?

>>10150019
They don't even know you exist.

>>10150020
They actually do. I saw a few comments in nyaa about them complaining.

>>10150024

If they don't at least offer their products digitally for international customers they have no right to complain.

>>10150024
>>10150027
I can almost guarantee that if they, especially the the talented creators, found some way to put up a site with their work and just asked for only donations they would make more in a month than they make in years on their artwork.

>>10149516
Shit, that means I've been using the term wrongly all along. I thought it could mean either one, but I guess not! I should have known the definition of the word and how it's used as a slang are both mutually exclusive.

>>10150027
>>10150033
They do.
Diverse system has got a pretty convenient online shop setup on their website. Pretty funny reading their broken engrish on nyaa.

>There is some theft but it's not much of a problem. There are a lot of pickpockets so you should be careful (as long as you take the usual tourist precautions).

sorry but what are usual tourist precautions?

>>10150048
google

>>10150048
If you live in america, hop on a grey hound, everything that gets you stabbed is something not to do, if you live in canada or some other part of europe just ask your parents how you keep your passport and other valuables from getting knicked.

>>10150043

That's what I'm saying though. If they make that available then that's great, but if they sell their stuff at Comiket one time only without any means for people to buy it who can't attend, then they cannot complain about it being distributed on a western tracker.

>>10150048

I'd imagine it would be to not act like a tourist. Tourists stick out like a sore thumb and are easy targets for thieves.

If you're a tourist in any country you are going to be in danger of thieves. This is a well known issue among travelers and you can find lots of information through Google.

>>10149890
Furthermore, it comes from Azumanga Daioh where Kimura says "mai waifu".

comiket staff pls come back ;_;

返事してください

>>10150009
I agree...

Hey, OP, what's the most fucked up (as in "weird") thing you've seen happen in there?

How's the stench?

mr japanese comiket staff person

i have a question

what is more popular when it comes to touhou books

the ero or the no H ones ?

>>10158489
I think it's pretty obvious.

>>10146765
There's no restriction on entry, but circles are encouraged to ask for ID for minors.

>>10146915
Most Japanese otaku keep to themselves, so usually they just buy their stuff and go home.

>>10149358
FC = Fan Circle

>>10149358
My personal feel is that there hasn't been a significant decrease (except right after the earthquake). For example, there was an international exchange fair last time.

>>10149562
They're so similar, it's surprising.

>>10149912
Yes. But I'm posting here with the help of a friend who can speak English.

>>10150019
It depends on the circle. One one side there are people who say that the circles should be more open to capturing wider audiences, and on the other side there are a lot of people who are very sensitive to artists' rights. But you should keep in mind that most of the circles are not in it for the money (in fact, most of them lose money by selling at comiket).

>>10158264
My department is responsible for the lost and found, so a lot of weird stuff comes our way, like ladders (who loses a ladder?) and passports.

>>10158271
People sometimes say;

The 1st day: Smells of women
The 2nd day: Smells of children
The 3nd day: Smells of men

But it's not so bad as you'd think. But the smell of mountains of lost towels in the summer is unbearable.

>>10158489
First of all, the percentage "ero" out of the total number of circles at comiket is not as large as you'd think; about 35%.

That said, my feel is that touhou has more non-ero works than the average, because it includes guidebooks for games, because there's more room for artists creating their own story, and because artists who don't want to draw ero can have a higher chance of selling it if the genre is touhou.

It's a retarded question, but how much money should I bring when I'm going to Comiket just to buy some CDs and plushies?

>>10160635
500-1000 yen for CDs, several thousand yen for plushies.

But really, it depends... some people spend crazy amounts of money at comiket.

If you bring about 20,000 yen you should be all right.

>>10160611

>They're so similar, it's surprising.

Is it really, or just /jp/? Do you guys have so-called cancerous boards like our random, anime & manga or video games board over there? Or is the community generally better?

will Rustle have a booth?

>>10146801

The number of touhou circles is 2492, less than last year (the number of doujinshi is still unconfirmed).

In fact, I heard that the number of applications for touhou had increased, but it seems like the people in charge has cut down on the number of circles to actually accept.

I don't know about the touhou game.

>>10160657
Why the spoilers?

Anyway, OP, do official publishers/publications have any sort of presence at Comiket, or it's literally all self-published?

Are you planning to buy anything at this Comiket? What do you usually try to buy?

How does Japanese people view gaijin that go to comiket without knowing Japanese?

>>10160668
>I heard that the number of applications for touhou had increased
That fish is going to be disappointed.

>>10160705
Oops, didn't mean to sage. Now I feel bad.

>>10160768
Are you serious?

>>10160768
You beefed it Anonymous, now drink that bleach.

>>10160773
No, I seriously felt bad. 4chanx usually never fills out the email-field on its own.

>>10160654
No way it's better. It's pretty much exactly the same. We even have our version of the random board. It's called VIP.

>>10160657
This?

https://webcatalog.circle.ms/circle/83/W013637C/

It looks like he will be participating.

>>10160670
The official publishers are a considerable presence at comiket (a lot of people get in line for official merchandise). We even had Google and the local government of a prefecture set up booths in the past.

>>10160670
I usually buy ero, but I also buy non-fiction manga detailing the author's daily lives.

This time I want to buy Shoujo Kishidan and Coffee Kizoku.

>>10160705
Everybody is welcome at comiket. But I do have to wonder whether non-Japanese are able to enjoy comiket when they don't speak Japanese...

>>10160790
>But I do have to wonder whether non-Japanese are able to enjoy comiket when they don't speak Japanese...
There aren't many places quite like it in the rest of the world. So it's a pretty fascinating place, even for non-nerds.

>>10160790
>But I do have to wonder whether non-Japanese are able to enjoy comiket when they don't speak Japanese...
I mostly come for the music. I also plan on buying some doujinshi so that I can sit down with a kanji dictionary later and (try to) translate it.

I'm mostly wondering if people will frown upon it, or if it will be hard to buy stuff since I can't speak very much Japanese.

>>10160815
If you can't speak (or even understand) a word of japanese, everyone will assume that you just came to get stuff to upload later. Of course, that doesn't place you very high on the sympathy list.

>>10160815
No problem. Sometimes we get Japanese otaku with poor communication skills who come and buy stuff without speaking a word (they just point).

In fact, a lot of circles will be happy that non-Japanese people show interest in their work and come to buy them.

>>10160824
Why would they make the assumption we'd upload the stuff?

I wouldn't pay thousands of dollars to travel to Japan, brave enormous crowds of people to spend *more* money procuring doujinshi, which is highly collectible and would likely be damaged or ruined in the process of scanning.

That's a Lose-Lose scenario.

Also, >reading doujinshi?

How early do the circles have to send their applications to reserve their spots?
I've seen some circles posting previews of their work on pixiv for C83 even moths before.

Is there any way to import goods sold at Comiket?

I would love to go to the Falcom booth. I'm pretty sure they don't sell some of these goods through their mail order system. They do ship overseas though.

>>10160824
Luckily I am better of on the understanding part due to days upon days spent watching anime, but I will note the things you mentioned and brush up on my basic communicating skills before I go.

>>10160836
As long as people won't be annoyed by the inconvenience. It would kill me if I became a bother to the people I bought from.

How early do the circles have to send their applications to reserve their spots?
I've seen some circles posting previews of their work on pixiv for C83 even months before.

>>10160847
Circles have to send it in about a week after the previous comiket.

By the way; that became a problem, because the official catalog wouldn't match what was actually sold on the day. That's why we now have an online catalog so that circles can reflect any changes in content online, right up to before the event.

The schedule remains the same, though.

>>10160863
Sorry i dont know that.
plz come to Comiket.
>>10160871
We have a international department of staff who can speak English and other languages. So if you are unsure of anything,you can ask them.
You can talk to them through our information booth.

>>10160871
>It would kill me if I became a bother to the people I bought from.
Beta as fuck!

>>10160836
>>10160919
All of this have made me more confident, from now on I'll be saving money to go to Japan for the next Comiket. Thanks for answering my questions.

>>10160934
B-but you didn't ask those questions.
Could it be that you were wondering the exact same things as me?
If that is the case, we should be friends.

Thanks for coming here and answering our questions, OP.

>>10160926
He actually sounds very Japanese.

>>10160926
What the fuck, janitors. What the fuck.

hi OP

-longtime weeaboo, multiple-time Comiket attendee (C73, C79, C81) and non-/jp/fag here:

When is the C83 digital or printed catalogue going to be available, and what's the best day this year for industry content?

I need to get that shit on my tablet so I can plot out the Monday schedule and most efficient table path. I doubt I need to attend Saturday at all this year?

>>10160977
Scroll up.

>>10160611
>only 35% of comiket is porn

dude..that leaves me spechless

>>10160611
>my feel is that touhou has more non-ero works than the average

And that is a good thing.

>>10161023

Most of comiket is girls/women selling their cute manga/stories.

OP is there any tension between the male and female otaku?

Do the male otaku feel like they are being overwhelmed in fujoshit?

Do people mind if you go around taking pictures of their booths? What about cosplayers?

>>10161040
please undertand my reaction..seeing how 90% of the works that get scanned are porn, one would asume that that type of books are the more popular

How does this whole event look from the inside anyway?

>>10161046
>Do people mind if you go around taking pictures of their booths?

I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

>>10161004


no, really. Not an 'online', half-assed, half-finished catalogue. The actual thing so I can DOWNLOAD IT, plot out a path through this madness and use on a tablet without interwebs onsite.

>>10161071

Having been to Fuyu 3 times before; just like any terrible local craft fair or flea market, except 5x more sweaty, 10x more smelly, 99.999% Japanese and 500x larger.

Natsu would be 1000x larger, as summer Comiket is typically almost twice the size of winter.

Guys, guys, quiet for a second...

Please.

Please. Thank you.

>>10162036
>>10162039
>>10162052

>>10161983
That mean you can downlowd catalog or you just buy CD-rom catalog and download from it yourself?

>>10162156

>>10161044
No, retard. Everyone just keeps to themselves.

If anything it's women who might feel uncomfortable on the "men's" (porn-focused) doujin day, but that doesn't stop large numbers of them from turning up. The ones that do just STAY HOME (same goes for the men on BL day), they don't create drama at Comiket like you would at your local bumblefuck anime com.

>>10162342
I wish western fans could keep to themselves, and not act like raving idiots every chance they get. They make me ashamed to be associated with some of the things I like. I'll never go to a western convention because of them.

>>10162350
That's not the AMERICAN way son. Everyone that doesn't share your views and ideals is WRONG and you better jam that shit down their throat until they get the message.

>>10160790
Even knowing a little Japanese can go really far, especially when talking to the people with electronics/computer projects. A conversation I (who spoke nearly no Japanese) had with someone who spoke almost no English:
me, pointing to a schematic (回路図): これはなんですか？電気さん：それはトランジスターアレイです。We both understood each other perfectly. Of course, if you're only buying comics, you can just look at the pictures. I was slightly surprised that there were few people at the information desks that could speak any English, though.

Thank you for answering so many questions!

>>10161046
> Do people mind if you go around taking pictures of their booths?
Unfortunately for safety reasons that isn't possible in the halls. If you try, you'll get of the staff make that Japanese crossed armed X thing at you indicating no pictures allow.

Outside in the cosplay areas is fine though.

>>10162350
You sound like one of those idiots that has never left his mothers basement.

Do well known dudes like ZUN ever go around and buy stuff?

>>10163565
>You sound like one of those idiots that has never left his mothers basement.

If you are actually defending the shit that goes on at western anime conventions you are fucking scum.

>>10163576
I actually wonder about that too.

I'd assume they do, since they probably have their own stuff to look forward to, and considering all these doujin artists that draw "how was my adventure at comiket" little comics, which frequently involve they going around to buy stuff.

>>10163576
Not sure about ZUN but a few famous Japanese artists like Yoshitoshi ABe will turn up. You can ask the artists to sign the doujin works you buy of theirs which is a bonus.

>>10163584
Why should you care what harmless fun others get up to? Or are you just born with a shit personality?

>>10163624
>Why should you care what harmless fun others get up to?

Go fuck yourself, idiot.

>>10163657
u mad bro?

>>10163698
crossboarder pls go

/jp/ is accepting of western conventions now? Since when?

>>10163770
No. It's just some crossboarder.

>>10163770
Since forever.

>>10163864
see >>10163740

If /jp/ is not accepting of Western conventions then why should it be accepting of Comiket? The difference is?

>>10163898
After you, dear.

>>10163920
Japanese doujin conventions and Western anime conventions are extremely different.

>>10163927
In what way? Fundamentally, artists produce and sell their work at both. Therefore they are the same.

>>10163933

The majority of the artists at western conventions are absolute shit, and the people who go to them are extremely obnoxious.

>>10163933
No, they're not "fundamentally the same" in any way. Western conventions have a variety of things going on not present at Comiket.

You could argue that Comiket is basically an anime convention where the dealer's room has been expanded to cover the whole event to the exclusion of practically everything else, and almost all the products being sold there were doujin goods. And a car is basically a bicycle with twice as many wheels, a chassis, and a gasoline engine.

>>10163942
> majority of the artists at western conventions are absolute shit
Same could be said of Japanese artists at Comiket. People only ever see small minority of stuff worth scanning.

>>10163952
>People only ever see small minority of stuff worth scanning.

This is what westerners actually think.

>>10163952

Haha no, they're not even nearly the same ratio of good to shit.

>>10163960
>>10163957
Have you ever been to a Comiket and spent the daily browsing the tables? I've been to several and done exactly that, and a large proportion of the works are utter shit in quality. Granted tho, the shit proportion is probably less than your average Western doujinshi con.

>>10163997
Can you name a good doujin work that has been produced by western fans? I'll wait.

>>10163997
>average Western doujinshi con.
... these exist?

>>10164011

No, that guy is obviously extremely misinformed.

>>10163952
>People only ever see small minority of stuff worth scanning.

Yeah. In the sense that a vast majority of the worthwile stuff never gets scanned.

Each time a new convention nears, Pixiv gets flooded with incredible doujinshi announcements. The amount that gets scanned afterwards? Maybe 1 in 20. Well, I'm making the "statistics" up, but it's really low.

>>10164003
There was this freeware game about a bunch of handicapped bitches
Does that qualify?

>>10164583

No.

Does japanese fandom pronounce 東方 とうほう or とほ?

>>10164014
>>10164011
Actually a number happen every year. Comiket staff travel to these events throughout the year and take pics and video of them. You can then see the documented Western doujin events at a special display area set aside at Comiket.

>>10164916
They pronounce it like it's spelled.

>>10164916
They pronounce it 「にふ」.

Japan just has more stuff in general.
More shit, more good. But when you have more of everything it's easier to ignore the shit because there is actually a decent portion of good to focus on.

Personally I’d love to see more of the interesting and entertaining esoteric Comiket stuff scanned. For example:

I’ve seen the “zine” section and it was full of scary people. I also remember a lot of doujin devoted solely to real life cats.

Can you name one of these events? The Alternative Press Expo wouldn't qualify, would it?
