/jp/ - Otaku Culture

First for Reimus

> Oh yeah, what are those catalog things that was in the OP and how would i go about getting one?

The Comiket catalog is a huge listing of which circles will attend, broken down by day, genre of their books, and location in the hall, along with little preview art panels. They are grouped by section, so the circle in this section would be at table 60 in their section.

This catalog comes in a massive paper version and a searchable CD-ROM, which is honestly a much better choice. They're only sold in Japan as far as I know, and no places that I know of will let you mail-order them to the US, but don't despair; they usually show up online a bit before the event, and they're sold at Comiket itself too.

Man, Digital Lover sure loves Kuroneko.

Pero Pero x3, I'm waiting.

i wonder if zun will release another album again

Are there any new STG/Shmups coming out?

>>10193108
Digital Lover

nice. Though I wish he'd get back to RO Priestess rape doujins.

So for those interested in a meetup, the day will tentatively be day 1, unless anyone has objections. Any preferences for times and meeting places? I only know ones that are outdoors, like the big saw and the garden, and it'll probably be too cold for those.

I'm excited to see Enji's new stuff; I bought the porn book by them last time and it was my favorite impulse purchase of the summer. I'll probably buy the Utahime Anthology 2 this time after passing it up at C82 just because it's such a big book and I was already overloaded that day.

>>10193544
Maybe one of these places?

>>10193544
Maybe one of these places?

>>10193544
Just do it at bigsaw like all the previous comiket.
Too bad I wont be able to make it this time, please dont pass out in the middle of the street and die again anon-kun.

>>10193608
>again
When did this happen?

>>10193646
You don't want to happen. It's like those elusive gay meetups only sick fucks attend.

>>10193544

too cold? What are you, from Africa?

Its 10C there in December, you lazy assholes.

>>10193854
Not that guy, but I'm from cozy California. 10C is pretty cold for me.

I don't really care though, I'm fine with the big saw.

>>10193854
>>10193907
Please convert temperature measurements to Fahrenheit as this is an American website. Thank you.

Ah Comiket... I wish I could go for this Winter but I've got no money!

But damn, their catalog is like a size of a phone book. It was a hassle to bring this shit back.

>>10193971
Unrelated, but I ended up with 3 Reitaisai 9 guidebooks.

>>10193854
It's still not nice to be outside in if it's windy out and you're standing around waiting for people.

>>10197862
What?
Japanese winter in Tokyo is nothing.
Fuyocomi is in Tokyo, not in Hokkaido.
You dont even need a down jacket if you are manly.

>>10193947
>using an arbitrary scale
In the future, use kelvins to not look like an ameritard.

>>10197889
But I'm a delicate little girl.

Nice to hear the cold doesn't bother you. Can we count on you to be the first one at the meeting spot? Stand there in your boxers so you'll be easy to recognize you.

>>10198026
Sure thing bro.
I will be there with my lucky milky holmes shirt, listening to my iphone with a beats headphone.
Better show your face on the first day of comiket. 4pm outside bigsaw turbonerd.

Well my catalog came today from Toranoana. They were packaging a pencil board by koary with it. I quite like koary's work so its a pretty nice omake.

If you have the printed catalog and can read Japanese, I recommend checking out the stuff after the portraits, theres lots of great small articles/data. I spotted this one. From a survey given to applying circles this time.

1)　あなたのサークルに海外からの参加者が同人誌などを購入しに来たこと
がありますか？　(Did any foreigners visit your circle and buy anything?)
来たことは無い/None came(55.9%), 来たことはある/Yes, some came (34.5%), やり取りを継続的にしている相手がいる/Tons came (0.7%)
The intersting bit was in the break down in the "Tons came." The category with the most was 「デジタル（その他）」 which seems to be for Vocaloid and ニコニコ動画, second was 「創作（JUNE/BL)」 (5.0%). Followed by ties on 「同人ソフト」「東方Project」「Naruto] each with 4.5%. This was followed by 「男性向(Stuff for guys)」「アニメ（サンライズ）」 with about 4%. Once again, the otaku world showing that there are more Fujoshi than guys it would seem.

2) あなたのサークルに海外からの参加者が来た時対応は主にドウしていますか
？（When a foreigner comes, how do you converse?)
2 main responses were. 日本語でとにかく対応する/We half-ass it in Japanese (48.4%), 日本語以外で何とか会話する/We get by in some other language besides Japanese (41%).
The details aren't all that interesting. It was mostly an age break down. Interesting bit was the highest number that said they operated in another language with no problem were people over 50. Younger generation people had difficulty and half-assed it in Japanese.
------
And break down on the people passing into the entrance for C82.
Day 1: 160,000 Day 2: 190,000 Day 3: 210,000

>>10198293
I find this quite interesting. If there are any more interesting tidbits to share please do.

bump

Any word on what games will be present?

Has anyone else been having trouble posting on 2channel from foreign IPs lately? I used to have no problem accessing it from my campus internet, but now I get a message saying that my IP is non Japanese and I need to get ● to post.

So a question to the guys who attend Comiket.

You live in Japan or do you fly there specifically for Comiket?

>>10201658
>>10202395
Stop that, you moron. The thread won't disappear with just a few hours between each reply.

>>10203813
Typical /a/ posters, happens every comiket.

>>10193108
Oh man, you answered my question even though I deleted the post and the thread 404'd. Thank you!

>They're only sold in Japan as far as I know
I guess I will buy one at comiket then. Hope they are easy to find with the limited reading abilities I have...

>>10203954
Actually I realized since I posted this that Amazon.jp stocks the catalog, so you could order it there if you want, but with the time and cost that shipping would involve you'd likely not receive it before Comiket.

>>10203813
>>10203821

You obviously weren't on /jp/ last night when spammers wiped half the threads on the board.

>>10203807
Please respond. I have a couple questions if any of you are the latter.

>>10204987
I live there but I have friends who fly in (although none of them are coming this year, sadly). Go ahead and ask; I'll answer what I can, and what I can't some other Anons may.

>>10204987
It would be easier for you if you just posted your questions to begin with.

Either way. I will be flying there. I don't know if I will be of much help though, because this is my first time visiting Japan.

>>10204996
Well, okay then.

I've been thinking of going next winter Comiket, and there are couple things I've been wondering.

Is it worth flying to Japan just to spend around ~10 days there? Considering I've never been there before.

Could I get at least a bit of a feeling for the country in that time?

How much does the stay cost you, where do you stay(hotels, hostels, with friends), and do you know anyone there(well, your friends obviously do).

Is there any kind of stuff you'd be afraid to bring back over the border? It's comiket after all.

This kind of stuff.

>>10205034
Not those anons, but I did a week trip to Japan once during Comiket 73.

>Is it worth flying to Japan just to spend around ~10 days there? Considering I've never been there before.
Yes! But only if you've got money to burn. After the flight and hotel costs, you should have a good deal of money to burn.

>Could I get at least a bit of a feeling for the country in that time?
You could get a decent feel, just don't shy away from visiting whatever places you really want to visit. Of course, idéally you'd spend a few months or even years there.

>How much does the stay cost you, where do you stay
I stayed at Narita Airport Rest House. You can check costs at their own website.

>Is there any kind of stuff you'd be afraid to bring back over the border?
Most stuff should be okay, just remember you'll probably be taxed for it. If you should be afraid of bringing items with specific sexual content over depends on your local laws, which you are bound to know more about than me.

Living in Sweden, the only thing I wouldn't bring back is loli's, because it counts as CP under Swedish law. Luckily I don't like that stuff in the first place, so there's no conflict of interests.

>>10205034
> Is there any kind of stuff you'd be afraid to bring back over the border?

No katana. Aside from that, mostly anything goes.

I'll add that U.S. customs doesn't usually care about whatever weeb goods you have (unless it's egregiously filthy or realistic loli porn), but they'll flag you if you try to bring back certain kinds of foods. Customs at Laguardia held me up for close to 30 minutes last year while they tore apart a boxed nabe kit that set off their sensors because it had freeze-dried meat in it. If you have doujin you don't want them to see, put it in a different bag.

>>10205034
>Could I get at least a bit of a feeling for the country in that time?

I honestly don't understand why people ask this question. It's on par with "how do I find THE REAL JAPAN?!?"

You're in the fucking country, aren't you? I don't see how you could avoid it. Go around and do what you want to do. Get a travel book or look at Japanguide before you go if you're worried about missing anything.

Just how much money would it cost for a week-long trip to Japan in reasonably comfortable (i.e. not roughing it like a starving college student) cost in USD?

>>10205944
You just need to translate the question to "will I be satisfied with my stay in that time" and the question makes sense. When traveling, a one day stay in most places is likely to be unsatisfactory for example.

>>10203807
I live in Japan.
I can go the Bigsight in 45min.

Any good music coming out?

>>10206250
yeah

>>10206299
what are you looking forward to?

>>10198293
>Interesting bit was the highest number that said they operated in another language with no problem were people over 50. Younger generation people had difficulty and half-assed it in Japanese.

T-the true power of a wizard also unlocks knowledge of Japanese?!

Will Hong Meiling come back so that c83 will be good again?

>>10206509
did you find there to be a lack of uploaders last comiket

>>10205034
>How much does the stay cost you, where do you stay?
I live in Japan but I'm 3 hours from Tokyo so I get a hotel. Hostels are pretty cheap ranging from 3000-5000yen a night. I prefer a bed though since theres lots of walking and standing and want the restful sleep (and 'privacy' :D).
Personally I choose to stay around Shinagawa station. If I was high roller I would stay in one of the 3 hotels around Big Site, but I'm not. This time I'll be in "Prince Hotel" near the station. The main reason for this is that the Yamate line will start up early on the 31st, around 5:30, this will let you get to Big site really early and get in line to go in (Note: its a 4-5 hour wait and its cold). The only reason to do this though is if there is a special circle you want something from, plus it lets you hit up maybe 2 (3 if you are lucky) major circles before stuff starts selling out. If I lived closer to Tokyo and had a car, I think I would consider just sleeping in my car for the third day. I've seen people park in some of the lots on Odaiba. Just walk and get in line around 2-3, this way you can get the limited edition dakimakura covers. Having friends with you helps. They can hold your spot, watch your stuff, and let you divide and conquer.

>>10206729
>:D
Dissapear from this board!

>>10198033
It's on like Donkey Kong, dude. And be informed that if they're not Touhou blowjob boxers I will be disappoint.

So I guess we have a meetup time set? 4 PM sounds good to me. I'll be carrying this bag so as to be identifiable.

All you other Anons at Comiket better come too; we don't want this guy to freeze for nothing.

>>10206731
In due time.

>>10206736
>All you other Anons at Comiket better come too
Sure, why not. What are we meeting for?

>>10206736
Dont worry. I wont dissapoint you.
I will even try to get those type moon neko sweater by beating up one of those tm staff.
You better come in identifiable /jp/ shirt.

>>10206927
>Sure, why not. What are we meeting for?

To sip tea inside a warm room and discuss our interests during a romantic and wonderfully timed light snowstorm

I'm not actually going, but I wish I was so I could do that with you, /jp/ (._. )

>>10205813
>>10205931
>>10206729
Thanks.

>>10205944
>>10206168
Yeah, I should've probably clarified that - there's a (minuscule)chance I'd go to Japan in 2013 as an exchange student, and I don't want to commit to something longterm without some first-hand experience.

It probably won't even happen, but hey.

Are you a bad enough dude to wear this in public?

I'm going to fuyucomi!

>>10207250
I think there's nothing wrong with wearing that nowadays.....
I own a Lily white Tshirt and I always wear it when I have the chance...

>>10207250
i'd wear a kaguya shirt

>>10207248
*in 2014

>>10207248
Protip, if you have the chance to go to Japan dont ever pick Tokyo. Anywhere else is better than Tokyo.

-ex tokyo resident

>>10207311
What's so bad about it?

>>10207316
People do not take it easy.
Everyone walk faster than you, everyone go into the train faster than you, everyone work harder than you and etceetc...

>>10207323
I walk pretty fast so maybe I would be ok in that regard.

help i can't stop browsing melonbooks

Anyone care to have a /jp/ off-kai for C83?

>>10207311
There's a limited amount of universities partnered with the school I'd be going from, but if I get to choose there's one in Kyoto that seems solid.

What are you excited for this time, /jp/?
I'm going through homepages right now.

IRON ATTACK! will have a new album, and the sample sounds nice.
Same goes for R-Note (Yellow Zebra 2.0), and while I can't listen to Yuuhei Satellite's sample, I know they will deliver.

Also, this: http://www.toranoana.jp/info/dojin/toho_maho/
What I wouldn't give for the West to have communities that can do things like that.

>>10207626
For now I'm mostly excited about the new AQUA STYLE MoF folk album. Their C81 album was one of my favorites from the entire event.

Some other things I have noted are;
As/Hi doing a PCB piano album
OrangeCoffee doing a TD album(?)
minimum electric design doing a two-disc Touhou general album
could be fun

Also saw that As/Hi and Cajiva will be doing a collab. Wonder what that will be like.

Is there any hope of anything coming from rustle, inuboshi, or quzilax?

Any other artists I guess too.

>>10207670
Rustle will be participating:
https://webcatalog.circle.ms/circle/83/W013637C/

You can check other artists on the site too.

>>10207694
How exactly do you access this thing?
Do you need an account or something?

>>10207707
Yes, you need an account.

>>10206322
the usual: shibayan, eastnewsound, minimum electric design, ui70, orangecoffee, sound sepher, yuuhei satellite

did i see xfds for THREE new rolling contact albums?
i don't have time to go check right now

Guys, I have a question.
According to wikipedia, the first Comiket was held in December 1975, which was 37 years ago. Comiket is held twice a year. Then why this Comiket is numbered as 83rd?

>>10208314

Held twice a year, it literally says that in the first line on wikipedia.

Yes, 37 plus 37 is only 74, there was some extra ones I guess.

>>10208314
http://www.comiket.co.jp/info-a/WhatIsEng080528.pdf

>>10208314
because it's the 83rd one dummy

also three rolling contact albums oh my god i'm not ready

>>10208331
Thanks, it explains everything.

I wish to be the little neet.

keep your fingers in your anals faggots -i'll be at da gym getting strong, big. all the j-girls will be mine and you dingles will just sit on the sidelines and cry and watch me fuck them, watch the j-puss juice glisten on my penal.

bitches

utada hikaru is an exhuasted, broken damaged fragile little bipoler girl who cuts in her bathroom and then calls you on the phone begging you to come fuck and choke her, the only way to turn off her mind and its torment. can't we help her in some way?

>>10207323
Basically, you'll find Tokyo a cool, fastpaced, exciting place provided you aren't a country bumpkin who needs to take it easy.

>>10207970

New shibayan album, i am hype
It's electro again
It's got Ranko as one of the vocalists this time
Can't wait

xfade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuvCdrqSoTI

>>10207970
Shibayan won't be there as a circle. I already looked. Its possible that I missed them though. It'll be easier to tell once the DVD catalog comes out tomorrow.

>>10209213
I guess I'll have to dig around more or look on the DVD after all. I definitely did not see their usual circle in the catalog.

>>10209213
>>10209246
Yep! Not there as a circle. They'll be co-signing it to another circle. From the site, just noticed it.
冬コミは落ちました！＼(^o^)／

Why does everyone like Yuuhei Satellite so much? I always found them to be incredibly bland.

>>10209261
Because it is tacked on the PV of the touhou anime. So you get impressed by the PV and you like the songs as an after effect.

>>10209261
What? I find them everything but bland. Unoriginal? Maybe. Not bothering with rearranging much of the songs? Maybe. Bland? Hell no, they're delicious.

>>10209389
Unoriginality and not really rearranging anything makes them bland to me. I don't they they are bad. The music is pleasant, but nothing by them ever sticks to me or pulls me along.

>>10209400
I don't know, maybe it's senya's voice that makes their songs so memorable for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcnDzitQa0A
Damn, so beautiful.

>>10209410
I do agree that she has a great voice.

>>10209261
they make some good songs, decent arrangements and vocals, but i agree that they're fairly overrated
pretty much this >>10209279

Is... Is there Buta-Otome? ;_;

Why would I go to all the way to Comiket to shop for amateur comics in an extremely crowded environment when I haven't even read 1% of the commercial manga at my local Book Off?

The only justification I can see is wanting to feel part of a crowd and keep up with the current fads, being a cosplay camwhore and selling one's wares.

>>10210119
I go for the music.

is O-life going to be at this? Their sample album was fantastic

>>10209213

Well that was bland. Never thought I'd see Shibayan disappoint.

>>10210119
It's fun, you get to meet your favorite music producers/doujinshi artists, etc.

>>10207604
Yeah man, did you miss all the meetup posts above you? 4 PM at big saw on Saturday (day 1); be there.

After that, I don't know what we'll do; go somewhere to have warm drinks first, and then perhaps somewhere else, maybe a maid cafe/karaoke or something similarly /jp/-related.

I've never been to a meetup before and have nfc what we're "supposed" to do, so people can start throwing out ideas.

>>10210698
>maybe a maid cafe/karaoke or something similarly /jp/-related.
If it's between maid cafe or Karaoke, I vote for Karaoke. The last maid cafe was kinda meh.

>>10209213
god dammit I looked at the comments section.

wait how do these fucking secondar---
I don't care. I don't care.
never mind. I don't need or want to know how they are in the know and yet still ignorant.

>>10210698
Do people really want it on day 1 this time around? Days 2 and 3 are more /jp/ related.

Usually it's like this big red saw > find somewhere for dinner > whatever...

>>10209213
Holy shit they're sampling noisia. I love it!

>>10210761
I don't care as long as it's not day 3, since I've got other things to do on new years eve.

>>10209213
nice nice

>>10209261
senya. her voice is very nice.

>>10209640
>Is... Is there Buta-Otome? ;_;
ranko
>>10209213

>>10210792
I agree.

Though if all thets going to happen is karaoke, then I might just say "hi" and peace out. Never cared for karaoke.

>>10211109
There isn't really a plan.
You get together, see who's there ask what they wanna do. Last time we went to Akiba and walked around a bit, went to a maid cafe, and then an izakaya with a group of 2channers.

>>10211121
sounds good.

I'll be up for that.

>>10210761
Day 3 isn't good for many reasons, it being new year's eve and all, and on day 2 I and at least one other anon on here are going to angela's end-of-year concert, which starts at 6.

>>10211121
This sounds like the best idea to me too. Let the people that show up that day decide on the fly what to do next.

>>10211194
You seem experienced. I'm not a fujoshi, so what is there to do for a normal guy on day 1?

I've read that it's probably the best day if you want to go for corporate booths with limited quantity stuff, but I'm not sure how available those are. Would it entail getting there first thing in the morning? Or would it be possible to get it even if I come around noon?

Is the CD catalog out yet?

>>10211224
Do you need it? The catalog is online.

>>10211230
Oh wow, it's free? I thought they were going to charge for it like the CD and book. This is pretty cool, thanks.

>>10211217
By no means is day 1 isn't all fujoshi stuff. Carnelian, Hajime Ueda and Engine Smoker are all on day 1 this year; so are all a lot of my favorite yuri circles.

In fact all the het porn I'm getting this year is from day 1 circles and all the BL from day 2. On day 3 every place I'm planning to hit is either gen or yuri. Every day really has a huge variety; if you just hunt a little there is almost guaranteed to have what you're looking for.

On corporate booths, they usually run all three days, so I'd bet they have more stuff to sell than the amateur circles and others who are there for one day only. Some of them will sell out on day one and some of them will only sell up to an allotted amount of their merchandise per day, but either way you should certainly be able to get most of the stuff you want, short of wildly, obscenely popular figures or dakimakura covers. The lines can be super long though. I'd say come early if there's something a.) you really, really want and b.) you know will be popular enough that it could sell out quickly and c.) not be easy to get on the aftermarket. Otherwise yeah, roll up in the early afternoon.

>>10211230
I still want the CD-ROM catalogue. The online catalog is pretty good but I want the full-page circle cut view, and I'm just more used to using the CD.

btw: Catalog is located at https://webcatalog.circle.ms/ (that was written in the thread that got bumped away, but not here)

>>10210698
I was joking about day1 4pm bigsaw. I am not even going this time.

>>10211121
Anon that died last year, is that you?

>>10211217
Buy stuff if you are rich. Corporate booths sell out first, especially calendars and dakimura.

Just looked at all of the アニメ（その他）cricles. People weren't kidding when they said it's Fujoshi day.
>>10211260
>Anon that died last year, is that you?
Unfortunately not.

>>10211292
They still need to fill all the blank area with the void basugay left.

>>10211292
I feel pretty confident that BL/Fujoshi stuff out numbers all of the 'guy stuff' if you combine all the days. Day 1 IS overwhelming BL as is day 2. On day 3, West hall is like 90% BL and the East halls has BL circles spread out here and there for the ones that are major circles. Day 3 is probably the strongest day for guy stuff. Thats not to say Day 1 doesn't have guy stuff or day 2 (which is 東方 day), but there is still so much BL. (Note: The number of BL同人 events outnumbers most of the events for guy stuff as well.)

Any interesting doujin games coming that I should keep my eyes peeled for?

Wait, what happend with Basket? I've been out of the loop for some weeks.
Did it get banned due to all the threats?

>>10214291
Yes.

>>10214298
Hahaha, Christ. But why exactly were the threateners angry?

>>10214304
I don't really know.
Maybe he is a fan and dislikes that they turn all his characters gay?
Or maybe he likes Slam Dunk and is jelly.
That is all just speculations though.

What are your most awaited albums so far?

I'm eagerly waiting for 辿／誘 by Diao ye zong, it sounds great: http://www.rd-sounds.com/song/Tadori_Izanai-Crossfadedemo192.mp3

I think I'm going to enjoy Foxtail-Grass Studio's つきかげクオリア a lot too: https://soundcloud.com/hamu_lr/fgst0009-tsukikage-qualia

And FAR EAST OF EAST -VIII- by TatshMusicCircle seems promising:

Probably some form of bullying or NTR.

new amane albums all sound pretty solid
new 556mm sounds awesome
new shibayan also sounds pretty good
real excited to see what comes out of LiLA'c and ENS

>>10207626
>What are you excited for this time, /jp/?

Scat doujinshi.

Is there a nice list of all the albums coming out, or at least the Touhou ones?

Any games of interest coming up this comiket?

>>10214857
http://www.doujinstyle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4019

>>10216209
I think I'm just gonna download everything from the circles I know and be done with it. I'm getting bored with touhou music anyway.

>>10206509
Hong posted last Comiket, too, just not very much.

>>10206513
Yes.

I was reading through the thread and I read aomething about a meet up.

Is somebody planning this?

>>10205813
Due to 'mangadommen' the police are ignoring drawn CP.

What's there to do there. Going to be in Tokyo during the time so I might go.

>>10211244
Having said this, I went on to discover that there IS a page-view setting like that under the "view by circle" option: https://webcatalog.circle.ms/Circle

>>10216238
W-what. I sh-shiver at the thought.

>>10216328
Buy porn book and music cd

I try to remain in ignorance about which circles will publish new stuff.

That way it's always a pleasant surprise to discover a new album of my favorite circle and I don't get disappointed if said album results to be not as good as I expected.

I can't wait though, my K8 music is running out.


And I wonder if RemiJam will bless us again.

>>10216328
Also take photos of cosplayers if that's your thing.

>>10216238
I usually get stressed whenever a comiket is about to arrive, too much things to keep your eyes around.

Now I just skip all lewd doujins and head straight for the music department, Touhou arranges and all, mostly focused on Jazz and Folk though, with dnb and Orchestral stepping in from time to time.

Still very time-consuming.

My body was not ready

>>10210698
Where or what is big saw and how can I find it?

>>10217297
>>>/a/

>>10217308
It's pretty hard to miss.

>>10217319
Are you high bro?

>>10216209
I only follow like 8 or 9 circles, and none of them hav put up released any information about new releases, previews, or hints at any future projects for C83 or anything else or are releasing compilations.

Speaking of which, minimum electric design is rereleasing all of his Touhou arrangement stuff from 2009 and 2010 in a two disc set with a few bonus stuff, so if you missed out on checking out his shit before mediafire turned into real hardasses, you're in luck.

I’ll also be floating around Tokyo during Winter Comiket and currently putting together my itinerary. Anyone else know of any other interesting related events happening around this time?

For example last year there was the Madoka exhibition out at Ikebukuro which was ok for a look.

>>10218633
Go Oorai to see tanks.
Go to Enoshima to check out squid and taritaris.
The Suwako shrine is somewhere in Nagano.
Hakone to see the all the evangelion stuff.
I think the rest are too far away from Tokyo.

The DVD should be out now.
Has anyone seen a torrent for it?

Looks angela's end of the year live isn't being held in Takadanobaba any more - this one's at just a hop, step and a jump from Big Sight at the Mielparque complex. It's the evening of the 30th and you can still get tickets.

>>10218633
There's an Anime Centre in Akihabara that usually has a display out about some anime. When I went in 2008 they had a display out of Inazuma Eleven which wasn't that interesting, but I can't find out what they've currently got.

>>10225043
They had Fate stay night there until yesterday.

>>10224735
Art book collab? Crow's looks great.

>>10225056
Any idea what's next? I'm in Tokyo after Christmas but only have a day free to go around Otome Road, Akihabara and Nanako Broadway hence I'm a bit short on time.

>>10225080
They will have kamen rider up for the rest of year. They still will display other anime shit there besides kamen rider.
Just dropped by UDX center when you are there, it is just opposite kbook.

>>10211260
Well, now it's really happening, so joke's on you I guess.

Guess it's time to get coordinatin'. As it stands, we are set for:

day: Day 1, Saturday December 29th
time: 4 PMish
place: Big Saw sculpture (north of the main entrance)

You can e-mail c83meetup@gmail.com if you'd like to ask questions, suggest an itinerary or place to go, or want to voice a preference for a different meeting date/place/whatever. You can also just post in this thread.

Anyone know of good cafes or family restaurants within walking distance of Big Site for our first stop? Further away is fine IMO; the closer to Comiket the harder it'll be to get a place to sit down.

>>10218633
Go to Akiba and see what's left of Radio Kaikan before it's torn down ;__;

Weaaabooos, pls translate:

1) うん、そうかもな。

2) 動くようにすればいいんだね。

It takes 4-6 hours to learn Hiragana, step up faggot.

Someone better upload this.

Warmly waiting for Eiffel Tower/Tokyo Tower yaoi uploads.

>>10225170

1) Senpai, it feels so good inside

2) This is the pleasure of being cummed inside

It's extremely easy to translate Japanese.

Does anyone know of any Breakcore or lolicore artists/circles to look out for?

>>10225240

West hall
It is together with all the non anime/touhou place.

>>10225170
>1) うん、そうかもな。
Yeah, it might be.

>2) 動くようにすればいいんだね。
Don't look there, it's filthy.

>>10225240
all i can think of is ebi1000 and shimau, but i dont think they release anything at comiket. the breakcore i manage to find is just scattered around various groups.

on a related note, does anyone know if Take still exists? this guy
http://vgmdb.net/artist/4262
is the same as this guy, i believe
http://vgmdb.net/album/28109
but i haven't been able to find any information about him that i can read. he was real good.

>>10216209
New ShibayanRecords.

oh hey, meetup on day 1, that's a first. I'll be there.

If you're looking for a famiresu near big site, let's just go to saizeriya.

>>10225271

> Don't look there, it's filthy

What?

> We should move/make a move

>>10225635
Have you never read Japanese porn before?

>>10224806
Why does this happen? ;_;
Is it because I don't have the Japanese version of windows?

>>10227103
Just change the system locale

How many people are confirmed for going at this point?

I'll be going, so that's +1.

>>10227155
All that class.

>>10227127
I probably should have noted that I had already done that.

Either way, I think it is that I don't have the japanese version of windows, because it says so in the index thing:
"Windows XP/Vista/7/8 (日本語版以外の動作は保証しません)"

>>10227167
It works fine on my American installation.

>>10227183
Welp.
Maybe there is something weird about the Norwegian installation? I just reinstalled the catalog and it didn't help.

Well it's not like it is unusable, but do you think you can post a picture of what it says?

>>10227270
There's plenty of screenshots if you google for them.

>>10227457
I see. Thanks for the help either way.

>>10227153
Thats really cute.

>>10227133
I'll be going too but unfortunately only for day 2 and 3. If any of you feels like meeting up on those days then I'll wait at the saw at around 4pm.

How many circles have you guys decided to look at beforehand?

>>10228965
I'm fine with day 1 or 2.
I really want to go to day 3, but I'm probably doing stuff with family that day.

I wonder what day more convenient for people.

I'm a bit sad that I won't be going this time. C81 was pretty fun.

>>10232493
I have a shortlist of favorites whose sites I check obsessively anyhow. Then I scan the whole catalog and visit the sites or Pixiv pages of circles that look promising.

>>10227153
awwwwww

Do you know the circle (or company) that made these? I'd buy one if I could find it.

>>10227133
I'm also going (I'm the one who made the meetup e-mail account).

>>10227133
I'll be going as well and maybe with a friend.

>>10232522
Day 2 is the best day for me and the most suitable day given that it is Touhou day and I think all past meet-ups excluding C82 have been on this day. I generally get bored of day 1 by midday.

Is it true the music release day isn't until the third day? And albums don't really start getting uploaded until four days after that?

>>10235373
What? There is music all the days.

>>10235373
commercial+super popular music ala exit tunes is all day
touhou music is day2
original/anime arranged doujin music is day3

>>10235532
isnt the first day always fujostuff?

>>10235543
But not limited to.

>>10235561
ah

>>10235543
I am talking about huge commecial circle.
Do you still considered Exit Tunes as part of the doujin scene? Same with Voltage of Imagination, they are all in the commercial area. GWAVE as well and most of the denpa stuff are all in the commercial area.

>>10235373
Translate it, weebs. Please.

>>10235603
What is there to translate? It's just names.

>>10235620
I was hoping the text provided insight as to why they are being cute inside boxes.

Is bkub at this Comiket?

>>10237709
The left one is "Gosei" Pink and the right is Yellow.

no idea what that is; some idol bullshit.

>>10235576

EXIT TUNES haven't been doujin ever.

Just an update since some people had mentioned interest in the new ShibayanRecords album. Shibayan failed to get an app in for a table so they won't be there as a circle.

They have gotten a few other circles to carry the new album thought.
On day 2, 東コ-15b「NJK Record」、東ケ-59a「hajime-saku-」
On day 3, 西こ-09a「LC:AZE」

anyone know if harada takehito (haradaya) is going to go?

>>10203807
I enjoy it but it's not the only reason I live here.

Just wondering what is happening on first day?

I've heard that second day is Fujoshi Day, and third day is for Doujins, so whats on the first day?

>>10238918
1. Fujoshiday
2. Touhouday
3. Erodoujinday

>>10238286
Wait, that means these guys will be selling their album along with Shibayan's or that they'll be releasing everything as one thing?

>>10237895
It seems that Gosei Pink is the pink power ranger. Thank you for the information.

Actually going to C83 is a waste of time when you can save time and buy online.

otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=542&ref=fbads

>>10239955
there will be a pile of shibayan albums sitting on one side of the table with no in-circle representatives

>>10244953
I see, thanks.

I really hope someone uploads the minimum electric design and driving kitchen this time ;_;

Seems like there's no decent electronic music this time around, just a load of electro.

Alstroemeria's Xfade for C83.
back to the Dancehall....

>>10248192
well you can't blame him after how fucking terrible world destination was. it doesn't sound nearly as good as the previous two though, even nhato's track sounds like shit. have to wait and see i guess.

>>10247835
you win for shittiest post in thread

>>10248228

watch out, you might cut someone with those edges of yours

>>10244953
Oh good, so it'll still be on sale.

>>10238286
NJK Record?
Euro Flash 3?

So I just discovered MOHICAN SANDBAG and I fell in love with the circle. (Toho Cocktail was fantastic...)

Can anyone tell me if they'll be attending C83?

>>10248228
world destination was by no means "fucking terrible", did you even listen to it or just assumed it was shit because of no "dancehall" title?

>>10249706
Agree with this anon, World Destination was not that bad, even though I did like the Dancehall collections a little better.

There were some fantastic tracks in WD...

This is gonna be good.

Swing Holic is going to have a full Fairies album. Good shit. A~YA will sing an arrange of Stake your life on a prank.
C-CLAYS too. Kotone Mai will do Emotional Skyscraper.
Magnum Opus will FINALLY release something new. Last album was on March 2011 for RTS8. Too bad it's a preview only.
Same goes for Demetori since C81. Also a preview.
Unlucky Morpheus will do a collaboration with... Undead Corporation. That means shit screamo vocals. But it seems they'll also include the instrumental versions, Thanks God.

I really want to buy aran's solo album but I don't have the dosh.

>>10202868

http://nyu-media.com/comiket-83-circles/ List of circles and games.

I assume it isn't complete and because it's Nyu Media the list only has SFW stuff.

The answer is probably going to be negative but still. Does any anon who's going to attend this comiket want to buy and scan Bomber Grape's new touhou doujin?

Buy it yourself via a proxy through Melonbooks or something you beggar.

>>10227133
>>10225088
I'll probably go, also with a friend.

Anyone else bringing anything identifiable?

Also, anyone know generally how fast the A row circles run out of stuff?

>>10252181
Wearing horsehead.

>>10206412
No. It probably unlocks knowledge of English.

In other words, you were born speaking a language you would learn for free anyways.

Are we going to have the manly /jp/ meetup again this year?

Is Wave Morrigan releasing anything this year

>>10224733
>>10224735
Any decent Kasen stuff?

>>10252250
Hello again.

Looks like the meetup is being coordinated on Day 1 this time, read up in the thread for details. Contact email is c83meetup@gmail.com

I'll go, and judging by the comments, a few other people will show up as well.

>>10252250
When is Comiket anyway? I'll be in Japan 2014, Tokyo, but during the summer time.

>>10252572
Summer Comike is in the middle of August.

>>10252785
I can be there then. See you there, if I see a thread on the usual meetup that year.

>>10252788
Okay, see you at C86 /jp/ meetup then.

i really want to buy two albums from there...is there anyone that can help me buy them from c83 at this point?

anything bout hopeless masquerade?

>>10252250
you doing proxy buying magic again this year?

>>10253000
It's already been confirmed the demo is on the 30th for about a month

anyone willing to buy me the flandre feet mousepad?

>>10253038
Yeah, use tinyurl.com/c2ny9os

>>10252181
It depends. The ones along the wall usually have stock for a few hours, the ones by the shutters will run out faster and you'll probably need to get in line within an hour of opening. Of course, not all circles are equally popular and some of them will have stuff remaining at the end of the day.

Any plans on a Day 3 meet?

>>10250466
Demetori where

>>10248192
>Cinderella Cage: More Rewind Mix

>>10253490
Haven't heard anything yet. I figure I'll go to the Day 1 meetup and then if people are up for doing another one on Day 3 we can plan it then.

Does anyone have this? Upload, please.

ANYTHING ABOUT TOUHOUS?

I'm waiting for the new m-1 grand prix. I fear this one will be average.

>>10253608

Just wondering, did that one socks guy get what he wanted?

>>10209213
The second track is so god damn amazing. It's so happy funky like. Also Nagi.

>>10257285
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ajS2KOu5k8

>>10249706
>>10249716
okay, i didn't actually mean it was fucking terrible. i meant in relation to KILLED/ABANDONED, it was a big disappointment. i really really liked the 4th track, but the rest was either too boring or too annoying. my second favorite track was actually the intro, which lost points because of painful synths.

judging purely from the xfd, this new one sounds better but still not as perfect as the previous dancehalls. waiting to pass judgment until it's out.

>>10249600
doubtful, haven't seen them do anything new since c81. would be nice though.

>>10256850
I... I have bad news, Anon...

I have to stop listening to these crossfades. They're making me way too excited.

I will be uploading things as per usual, however you do not and I repeat: you do not have to thank me.

>>10257554
Thank you.

>>10257591
Y-you too...

>>10257623
No wonder tripfag uploaders left...

Where would I go to order things from comiket? Is there a site that would help? There's a few things I was hoping to get my hands on, but I've never done this before.

>>10257623
That's because there's always one crossboarder who will create a comiket thread on /a/. Then /a/ swarms the comiket thread, flooding the upload thread with "WHEN WILL X ARRIVE?" instead of asking in the discussion thread.

>>10257631
Mandarake.

>>10257631
see earlier in this thread for a link

also i am excite

Any good calendar for this comiket?
Need to stalk the after market for one.

I never look forward to any Comiket because I know nothing about the circles that attend the games, nor their reputations. And aside of lurking on the archive, I don't know any other way to learn about them. ;_;

>>10262620
>I have almost all the drawings on there
Drawings where? I'd much rather have a poster than a calendar if they exist.
That being said I haven't spotted his calendar while browsing Akiba and Nakano. Do you know what stores sell it?
