/jp/ - Otaku Culture

too spooky

start for silly day

The Komeiji Sisters celebrating April Fools with Game Night!

The mobile library was in my area yesterday, and I managed to get a photo of Patchouli there.

>>16798190
That is a very /fa/ Sakuya

>>16800239
Is she a baker? Cause she rolling in dough

I was kind of expecting april fools day to go wacky like it did last year, but I guess it did not.

>>16800229
Cute. I hope she found a good book to read.

My Satori finally arrived!

>>16802828
wow what a slut

>>16802833
rude

>>16802833
fug off with your lies

>>16802833
Go back to >>>/b/

Is there a fumo discord??

>>16800277
I kind of forgot about it after the initial wave of jokes from websites

It was rainy all day so I just slept and hugged my fumos

>>16798378
That's quite a lot of consoles for two players.

>>16800277
Some boardsa got fused. I am sure /fumo/ would love /can/.

>>16804371
Cat is touching fluffy tails.

>>16804371
Is your cat named Chen?

>>16800229
>mobile library
I'm interested. It's just a van that drives around your city or something? Do they do that to encourage reading for people who normally don't go?

>>16804660
It's the opposite of an unmoving library.

>>16804660
That's the jist of it. They drive around all the local villages on a route and stop for 15-20 minutes; anyone can use them, but it's particularly useful for older people who cannot leave their homes easily. I'm not sure if they run in every county, but the local council manages them. America still has them as well I believe.

>>16804698
May I ask which country? And what do you do when you want to return the book? Will they come back to you so you can return it?

>>16804728
I live in England, and they come around on a monthly basis, which is also how long the book loans are for. It was nice to see them still running despite all the budget cuts to public services.

>>16804552
Sorry that is not mine. I saved the image from here.

I won a Yuyuko after a bit of tense bidding, hopefully she'll have a nice journey over here.

>>16797969
What kinda shit thread photo is this op
This is horrible

>>16805619
It was a joke photo, I was messing with filters again. Sorry about that.

>>16805619
You didn't need to be so rude about it.

>>16805619
It was april fool's day. Cheer up.

Baseball season starts today!

>>16805619
Dude, it's obviously post-ironic, you're just not down with the avant-garde meme scene these days

>>16805533
How much did you spend?

>>16806202
The starting price was £23, while my final bid was £50 (not including shipping); A-rank used condition and tag still attached. Compared to the other auctions I checked, this is a rather good price.

>>16806230
That's really good. I got mine for around $120 USD a year ago. Must be the re-release announcement tanking the price.

>>16806239
That's the most likely explanation. All the new ones are still going for £200+, and I don't expect them to drop anytime soon, so this was my best opportunity. I'm quite tempted to get a Patchouli v1.5 for the badge and to compare against her original model; I'm currently undecided on which reporter I'd like.

>>16806276
Why not both?

>>16806782
It's just an attempt at trying to convince myself that my self control hasn't completely vanished. Fumos are by far the slipperiest slope I have ever encountered.

>>16806807
There isn't another good Hatate plush, so you should get her.

The nendoroid plus Aya is very expensive, so you're saving money by buying her fumo.

It's win win.

>>16806807
I already fell down this slope. I can only collect them all now.

>>16806094
Sakuya + sports = sadness. This only confirms it.

>>16808535
Kirby 64 is a fun game. I hope kaguya is enjoying it.

>>16806039
It's always nice seeing some gen1 marisa posted.
>>16807185
Don't worry, the Stars are doing trash as well, so try not to feel so bad.

Two dekas sold on YAJ yesterday; both had opening prices of ¥3,000 and Marisa went for ¥54,000 and Reimu for ¥51,000. Perhaps not surprisingly, the Reimu listed for ¥160,000 still hasn't sold and neither has the Flan listed for ¥120,000...

>>16808974
That's who was selling Yuyuko, and a bunch of other rare fumos for very nice prices.

>>16800229
Mobile library? How's that work? Are the shelves mobile or are they all actually inside of something akin to an RV or something?

>>16809550
Nevermind, read the thread and got my answer.

>>16809553
Although, that does bring up a point I was originally going to ask but wasn't sure how the library worked. Aren't they worried about things falling off the shelves? Don't they have some kind of method in place to prevent all the books from flying all over the place every time they drive somewhere?

My first soft girl has arrived. Locked Girl.

>>16809558
Based on the angle at which the books stand, I think they will stay in place if the van is driven carefully.
>>16810408
How delightful. I do hope she was packaged with a bit more than just that plastic bag.

>>16810501
It seems like Patchy's trip wasn't too cozy. She was bundled in Japanese newspapers as well.

>>16810657
Oh my, that is a shame. I'm sure she'll be able to relax now though.

>>16810657
Double the Pachi, double the cuteness!

Just got my first fumo in the mail!

>>16810745
Yes, Patchy will have a nice, long rest while Patchy reads to her. I hope your Patchy is enjoying her book.

just got my first fumo in the mail!

>>16811284
woah congrats on smug

>>16811284
Congratulations on your first soft arrival, I'm sure you'll have many chill days together.
>>16811257
Sleep softly Patchouli. The three of them here like to discuss their reading matter.

>>16811284
Lovely icefairy. Make sure to have plently of ice ready for her in the summer.

Can anyone please give a picture of okuu fumo (customised)?

>>16811740
This is the best I've got, but you'll probably find more by going through this custom maker's photos. https://twitter.com/ryosuke0701sp/media

>>16811740
bad angle.

>>16811791
>>16811804
That Okuu is so cute!

>>16811791
I really want that Sumi

Guys help! I freed her from the packaging and she grabbed my knife!

>>16811850
Heeeeeeeelp!

>>16811863
You took the risk when she perked your interest.

>>16811878
How can I appease her???

>>16811850
let her use your phone

>>16811887
Buying another rabbit for her to abuse instead.

>>16811894
Fumos need friends? Man this is a lot more responsiblity than I thought.

No fumos were harmes in the making of this

>>16811284

Congrats, the smuggest was also my first fumo!

>>16811740

>>16812112
Official Okuu fumo when?

So guys, Tewi here is my first fumo and also the first piece of otaku merch ive ever bought. Is it a bad idea to remove the tag?

>>16812402
remove tag

>>16812415
Okay geez

>>16812428
keep the tag as a token of your friendship with your fumo

Don't die on me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBjZ19sPVFs
OMG an 18 minutes long adventure video with Koishi. Saw it on recommended on a kemono video I got linked.

>>16816718
Fumo thread is taking it too easy, but I bet it will pick back up once the weather gets a bit nicer in the spring.

Kasen still hasn't arrived! She's been travelling for over a month now. I really hope nothing bad happened to her.

>>16820185
Have you got a tracking number to check?

>>16820193

Nope.

>Tracking is not available for international registered mail items sent to Canada.

>>16820488
That's odd. How much did the shipping cost, and which shipping option is it?

>>16820488
Canada has a shit postal system wow.

>>16820496

SAL Small Packet Registered

It's wierd, I'm pretty sure I've gotten this option before and the tracking number worked on the Canada Post website.. Maybe I'm mistaken though.

But obviously this is the time that the package takes forever to arrive.

>>16820852
That is worrying; have you tried the JP Post website? That one usually tracks the order in other countries.

>>16820559
Goodnight Patchy.

Luka, Rin, and Len going up for sale again next month

>>16820855

Normally that only tracks until the package leaves Japan - which is true for this too. Kasen left on March 4th.

>>16821487
Soon!

>>16821642
I'm a little disappointed that they aren't making a Momiji fumo with them.

>>16821655
I kind of wished they did one of Aya's other outfits so she wouldn't look just like her nendoroid.

>>16821655
I only seen them do 2 brand new fumos at a time. Ver 2s don't really count.

I am still waiting on the remain Kourindou vers too.

>>16821642
Oh, are these new?

>>16821655
A Momiji would have sold like hotcakes
>>16821720
Yes

>>16821595
How peculiar, it sometimes tracks overseas for my orders. I hope she arrives safely.

>>16821595
For Italy, the JP Post website shows some tracking when the package enters and exits customs. Not very detailed but still something.
It varies by country. Can't believe Canada has nothing!

I just ordered a Patchy!
She should be here by the 1st of May.
She's gonna be my first Fumo!

>>16822664
I hope she arrives safely anon

>>16821595
For me, shipping to the US, JP Post shows tracking information all the way to the destination with EMS and small packet registered.

>>16822794
I hope so.
I ordered from amazon and spent about $60. I really do hope the seller put her in a safe box.

>>16822664
That is delightful, I hope she has a comfortable journey. Who is the seller?

>>16823102
Some guy named "Japanese samurai seller"

>>16822664
Make sure to have books ready so she may adjus to her new home quickly.

>>16823128
Free her!

>>16823128
Please ensue that your fumos have adequate room while sitting in mugs.
>>16823106
They seem to be authentic, although their name could be improved upon.

>>16825930
You've been visited by the Tewi of smugs and fortunes. Good fortunes will come your way.

Get ready for Cirno's School of Rock

>>16826078
Cute brat. Is that the cirno being sold off /toy/? Something really stands out about her.

>>16827209
What an adorable Patchy. Those additions dont look too hard- like Remis eyepatch and blushes for cheeks! I might look for some to stick on to mine.

>>16827127
I remember that at AX. I was happy to see the occasional fumo there, along with buying my adorable Satori.

>>16826629
/toy/ is where i bought that Cirno

>>16827228
I want to hold Alices soft noodle arms.

>>16827477

>>16827477
yes, but would you hold hands?

After a sixteen hour flight Reimu and I finally made it to Japan. The flight wasn't fun but we finally made it.

I've posted about my love for traditional Japanese tea cups before and it's awesome to be able to find this style anywhere in Japan.
It's also extremely humid here so much so that I have to empty my dehumidifier every 12 hours... and that fills up about half a gallon or maybe even more. I didn't want to take Reimu out at first so she wouldn't get all gross and damp but after the humidifier kicked in it doesn't seem so bad with the moisture here after all.

>>16829956
>>16829945

Woah. Have fun visiting. Where are you going?

>>16830075
I'm here on a seven month deployment in Misawa. Nothing super special, but it's still a nice experience.

>>16830215
Lucky bastard. I had a follow-on get cancelled. You could imagine my dispair.

>>16829945
Get those motherfucking shrinemaidens off the motherfucking plane!

>>16831491

Fumo meets cherry blossom.

>>16831500
Jesus Christ how terrifying

>>16831648
The colour coordination between the cherry blossoms and Kasen's hair is quite pretty.

Is Remilia among the fumos being re-released?

>>16829945
I hope you enjoy your stay. Japan is a beautiful country and I one day hope to visit myself.

>>16832233
No, she got a new version last time.

>>16806039
Marisa has good music taste!

>>16806039
Your Marisa has good music taste!

>>16821500
CUTE!!!!

Reimu needs a good drink after a hard days work.

not
>>16822664
but I just got my patchy! I love her! So soft!

>>16834257
Patchouli is one of the softest.

Please ensure that she has plenty of books to read and tea to drink.

>>16834302
But Ran is the softest, have you seen her tails? How are they not the softest?

Patchouli is, however, the comfiest plush, more so when cuddling her while reading a book

>>16834612
>>16834257
ALICE is and forever shall remain the softest fumo of all time. End of discussion.

>>16834631
and thus, began the war of the softest girl of 2017-2035...
all the girls are soft and cute, and it's your opinion that Alice is softest, mine is Ran.

>>16834729
You are welcome to your opinion friend, just know that it is utterly wrong.

>>16834736
Ok, First of all, R O O D

Second we can all live in harmony with our soft girls, no need to force that one is better then all the others.

Have I taken a picture of Kasen, or has she taken a picture of me?

>>16826078
Cirno's Perfect Music Class

>>16834631
>ALICE is and forever shall remain the softest fumo of all time.
I checked my fumos and Alice is definitely squishier than the others, including Ran. Her hair feels softer too, probably because it also seems like the material is thinner. She may not be the softest *for* all time but it certainly seems like she is at the moment.

>>16834846
>Kasen's camera is turned off
You definitely took a photo of her, anon.

>>16835832
Meiling warding the blossoms?

>>16835846
It made sense to photograph her with flowers, with consideration to her floral spell cards.

>>16837956
Did you really take the time to blur out the serial number on your PSPgo? What did you think we were going to do with that information?

>>16838523
I hunt people here and take their fumos

Opening this image is a sin.

>>16841027

>>16841032

>>16841041
It was for a good cause however.

>>16839650
That is Inu Sakuya, the very first fumo.

>>16841047
She is also one of the best fumos! I love the cute doujinshi by angeltype so much. Does anyone else notice doggie meido is the only fumo with downward eye-things? Still adorable.

Thoughts on coloring fumos eyes with pens? Has anyone changed their soft girls eye color?

>>16841108
There's no need to change their eye colour if you're not making a custom.

>>16841054
I haven't noticed before yeah but all other fumos have the lense flare in the upper corner.

>>16841108
Are you using a fabric pen? Otherwise you might cause your fumo to go blind.

>>16821642
Any ETA on the pre-orders?

>>16842565
They'll probably go up on Gift's shop a month or two on after their Reitaisai release, and then standard shops will come after that.

>>16841032
That blanket is amazing

>>16835832
I want a deka sukusuku hakutaku

Please return sewing fumo-anon!

>>16832386
And Kaguya? I really want Kaguya.

Sleepy comfy Tewi

http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r186488835 those fumos are okay ? i was wondering if those fumos are bootleg or something like that

>>16844503
They all look legit, thanks for the heads up anon, will bid at the end.

Got a new keychain from the local Japanese store. Found the best place to put it.

My package of two whopping Fumo's arrived and Marisa out the box seems to have a solution for Patchouli's summoning problems.

>>16845441
Maybe it was too strong but Chen brought along a present at least.

>>16845441
>>16845443
Congraulations on your new arrivals. I must say though that Patchouli isn't wearing her hat very well.

>>16841755
>lense flare in the upper corner
Do you mean pupil?

>>16844515
>thanks for the heads up anon, will bid at the end.
I have a suspicion that wasn't what the other anon was hoping for.

>>16845644
>Do you mean pupil?

???

>>16846126
The white circle in their eyes is the pupil.

>>16846160
Nope that is actually just an effect of light. You really think all fumos look up-right?

>>16844247

Suika and Marisa are partners in inebriation

>>16846579
I want those

>>16846160
Please tell me this is a joke.

>>16845443
I recognize that tail

>>16846669
I've never given it much thought before, but why would lens flare be part of the design? Pupils seem more logical to me, but I'm by no means a biologist.

>>16846795
Same reason why every anime character is existence has white circles in their eyes.

>>16846795
Do you know what a pupil is? Do you not know that our eyes reflect light?

>>16846823
I see what you mean now. these things don't cross my mind.
>>16846837
I do, but concerning the simple eye design of fumofumos, I've never thought about the specifics.

>>16841027
>>16841032
>>16841041
As a servant of Ojou-sama I do not approve this behaviour.

>>16846564
Where can I get this giant softness?

>>16841027
>>16841032
I started learning to sew and this actually helps me visualize the pattern if I want to make my own. Thank you.

Can anyone post pics of a bootleg Meiling/Yuyuko ?

>>16849643
Bootleg gatekeeper.

>>16849725
I think all fumos are cute, bootlegged or not.

>>16845644
>I have a suspicion that wasn't what the other anon was hoping for.
I admit to not posting about the Yuyuko I won last week so that other people did not bid higher.
>>16849737
Does that photo have a filter over it?

>>16850386
>I admit to not posting about the Yuyuko I won last week so that other people did not bid higher.
I've done the same thing with YAJ auctions. And for Amazon JP purchases Buyee is more like a proxy (even though they charge less fees than for YAJ), so I've only mentioned items on there if there are multiple available or if I wasn't ordering one.

>>16849725

and... how i can spot a bootleg one when i see it ?

>>16851051
Dude just look how janky the bootleg looks. If you can't tell the difference get your eyes checked.

>>16849737
I disagree. The only cute bootleg is maybe remilia, other bootlegs are mediocre and serve only as templates to learn how to make cuter fumos. Harsh but true.

>>16851554
That doesn't look like a PC, Remilia.

>>16851559
It might be a surface pro or something with a detachable screen.

an anon posted this fumos , and other anon says that they are legit and all , but i was wondering what happened to the hair of that meiling

>>16851577
It is a tablet PC.

Is there a fumo shop in akiba?

>>16851979
It is in her hat. It happens all the time to mine.

Tewi has been supervising me preparing the traditional Easter cake the whole day.

>>16852945
Be on the watch. The look in her eyes says she will taste the cakes as soon as you don't look.

Cats and dogs living together? Blasphemous!

Well, at least they're getting along.

>>16851979

>>16852945
I tried baking cookies once, they came out alright but they were bigger than I thought they would be. I always overestimate portions, like with Taco.

>>16852976
I got some Dogs and Wolves, they play together most of the time.

>>16853168
I think I need a Wok to really make food fried rice, I can never get it right.

I wonder where Marisa's heading off to.

>>16858196
The Big Apple! I bet she's a having a great time over there.

Wish they'd make a Yuugi fumo. I need a strong soft girl.

>>16858201

It's pretty unlikely that a tourist would end up in a bad neighborhood like Brownsville or East New York.

>>16858999
Really? I went to a bar in Williamsburg that was lit up with hipster scum. Decided to bail and was in Crack Town within three blocks. It was spooky.

I don't like to go outside anymore.

>>16858961
Can confirm as NY anon. Though I would get a kick of seeing a fumo shot in the Bronx or night time Central Park

NYC fumo meetup confirmed

Where's the next meetup gonna be? I'll go

>>16858999
What a sad picture. Nice treating your fumos like livestock heartless anon.

>>16859169
Girls should have tags.

>>16859180
Keep the tags, but not on the fumos. I love how Gift doesnt even include tags anymore just to spite you uneasy anons.

>>16859210
Girls like to have their tags!

I've noticed that my fumo seems to have some thread underneath her mouth. It appears to be a smile. Is this normal? A defect? It's been bothering me. Excuse the photo's quality.

Aya and Sanae are by favorite and second-favorite for life, see, and I've already got Sanae. Can't seem to settle on a third, so no way to pick this fumo or that fumo and all that. And I'm certainly not buying ALL of them. I'm not that rich.
So nah, not gonna happen. Aya's it unless I get drunk or stupid on a Patchy-centric night or something.

>>16860463
>If you play the games
Not much at all anymore. And don't bother, I've tried that route, can't decide.

Im actually liking the new Alice a lot, with that frowning face she looks adorable

>>16860192
>>16860194
Whoa, I didn't know Alice was getting a rerelease too. Guess my Marisa is getting TWO new magic friends!

Yuyuko looks so adorable.

>>16860300
I really dislike that new Patchy.

>>16860300
I remember when Yuyuko was like $300 USD. This is good news.

I want an Alice and Yuyuko.

>>16860300
I'm concerned about the tipped hair that has been more apparent on newer releases. In that image, the new Youmu has it at the top of her head. My rereleased Mokou also suffers from this and it really bugs me. Does anyone know a way to round it off?

>>16860300
New Youmu has no myon pattern on her dress?

>>16864369
Newer fumos are more detailed.

>>16864481
Sumi fumo when?

>>16867200
Hi Flan!

>>16867200

>>16868138
Somebody recently recommended JPN Depot, but they don't undervalue shipments. White Rabbit Express seems to have recently launched a forwarder as well called Blackship; they let fully customise the exterior labels.

>>16844503
It only ended with 4 bids, that's less than I expected.

Make sure your fumos get lots of candy for Easter

Remi found a doggo.

>>16870745
¥20,500 seems like a pretty good price for that group of girls, particularly since I paid nearly half that _each_ for Yuyuko, Youmu and Meiling (also all used), although the description does mention some dirt/yellowing.

>>16873602
Nice soldering station; I have the same model.

Happy Easter /jp/

>>16871356
Cute
>>16873667
Thanks

How about weeb games? Senran Kagura EV came out recently and 100% OJ is nice too.

It's possible. Both of those games might be good for smaller gatherings, although we wouldn't be able to have large groups.

Goodnight /fumo/ thread! Take it easy!

So I'm new to buying items from Suruga-ya and I need some help. On http://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/646073149001, it says "在庫数：1". On http://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/646001969001 it doesn't have "在庫数" listed anywhere. So does the second one have multiple quantities available? Is there a way to tell how many are in stock?

If there is no price, it is not in stock. You can ignore that stock number for the most part.

Also, google translate is your friend.

I took off her hat and gave her many hugs and pats. She is a good girl.

As >>16882305 says, you should also take photos if possible, especially for your first fumo.

Still working on it now and then and still needs a bunch of work but it looks almost like the real thing in some aspects.
One step at a time

Toranoana sells new stuff only, so they have larger stocks.
Suruga-ya, like Mandarake, specializes in second-hand items, so their stock is generally limited to 1 piece each. Sometimes they may have more than one (that's why there's no stock counter), but don't expect so many of them. There's no way to tell how long it can take before selling out, so if it's a hard to find item and is on sale for a good price, your best bet would be to order it ASAP.
