/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Just started digging into the catalog, finally a non-overtime week. Why the fuck is everything I want on Sunday?

>>17422134
yeah, i've made a list of things i'll order as soon as they appear on mandarake/nagomi/yahoo auctions etc.

Is there any way to get a shitton of 500 yen coins if I show up on Thursday afternoon, or am I shafted? As I understand it, banks in Japan close at 3 PM for some fucking reason.

>>17422188
Are you using any proxy/forwarder?

I used to use goody japan, but since the promotion with toranoana is gone, I'm thinking if there is elsewhere that is cheaper.

>>17422626
i use big in japan for surugaya if i order stuff in bulk (10+) and buyee for auctions. mandarake and nagomi don't need proxies or forwarders.

Any albums anyone looking forward to this time round?

>>17422685
The FELT album seems more interesting than their previous one.

Any circles doing touhou 16 arrangements for C92?

Planning to go for the first time.

Do I need to buy a ticket in advance, pay at the entrance, or is it free?

Is everyday basically the same? I don't want to go all three days unless unique things are going on

>>17422935
SSH and Aether's new album has a few.
https://soundcloud.com/eru-aether/brutal-blast-cfdemo

>>17423013
It's better if you go next time because it's too late to make plans

>>17422935
The new flap+frog has like 1 I think a mix of Etarnity's theme, bit hard to do TH16 arrangements I think when the game isn't even out yet.

>>17423013
It's free, all days are different, you're fucked, listen to >>17423296

>>17422461
pay for every thing with the biggest bills you have. Train, konbini, drinks, whatever you can think of

>>17423290
remember when aether made good music instead of metal?

>>17422685
Akatsuki Records looks like they will BTFO everyone this year. Not even a contest.
Demetori is doing stuff again and, unlike last Comiket, this time they decided to actually make a GOOD album
FELT is probably better than the turd they produced last time too

On the other hand:

ENS dropped Chata or whatever for some fucking reason so they are worthless now and should just fuck off
NEETs decided to be worthless niggers and shit out some Cancercolle album only mouthbreathers care about

Still, this Comiket may actually be decent for 2hu music for once.

>>17424668
she's probably too busy for the doujin scene anymore
happens a lot when people go mainstream

>>17422685
0P2C's vocals for norowareta night sound a lot better than in the past, someone's learning how to sing or learning how to produce her vocals better.

>>17422134
Are there any streams where I can watch Comiket from my home?

My work visa ran out 2 weeks ago and I wasn't able to find a new job ...

I had to leave the country.

https://youtu.be/u1-HvQcBeJM
Pv out.

>>17425736

Why didnt you apply for an extension while job searching? Immigration almost always grants it if you have funds to sustain yourself.

>>17425878
Because I already did that. No luck.

And my pride was in my way too, I wasn't willing to do a kitchen job in some restaurant.

>>17425908
Can foreigners even do that shit in Japan? I thought you needed a degree.

>>17425953
You can basically add three months at the end of your visa, the tourist visa. You're not allowed to work with that one, but allowed to look for a job and apply for a new working visa in that time.

I bought a fake PhD in meta-physics from the university of Panama-City, that shit basically gets me anywhere I want to go.

Atleast through the formalities of visa. Employers usually notice that it's fake and giving me a hard time getting employed.

>>17425974
So you are telling me,doing a kitchen job is beneath you, but paying out the ass for a fake shitty degree is not?

>>17425983
Life is funny, isn't it?

I literally bought the PhD for 25 bucks when I was 16 just so I can have the title "Doctor".

>>17425974
You could just not put the fake on your resume lol.

Do you guys know of any good pickup or proxy services for Comiket 92? Would be nice to know. Thanks.

>>17422134

>>17422166
Everything I want is on Sunday also... Planning on getting in early but even then I doubt I'll get everything.

Just a few thoughts on the music previews this time round.

-paw - image
-minimum electric design - 0秒の主役
>https://youtu.be/Yu4A7Pf_mIE
>https://soundcloud.com/med-matsui/0secxfd
Basically the same group, latter is a non-vocal instrumental only Touhou mix album and the former is the circle name for their original song release. Sounds pretty decent and I know some consider MED incapable of doing wrong.

-foxtail grass studio - あの夏がきこえる。
>https://soundcloud.com/hamu_lr/anonatsu-crossfade
FGS/hamu is also putting out another original album, this time it's a vocal album which is pretty rare. Not really my cup of tea and I usually love hamu's stuff but some might be interested.

-flap+frog -
>https://soundcloud.com/iwakura_komaki/ffrc0250xfd
New album from flap+frog I believe this is a continuation of what they did with the cirno out series. So if you listened to those albums you might know what to expect.

-Yonder Voice - 星月トラジコメディー
>https://soundcloud.com/yondervoice/yvcdn0015
Most noteworthy thing about this album is it seems to contain the full versions of the excellent tracks used for the recent Esoteric Sealed History Touhou anime.

-RD-Sounds - 音 -omoi-
>http://www.rd-sounds.com/song/Omoi_Crossfadedemo192.mp3
Always a big fan of RD-Sounds works and usually a solid option, this time round it seems to be made up of PC-98 mixes.

-logical emotion - Touhou Project pops arranged instruments8
>https://soundcloud.com/user-570477812/06a
Marasy's circle normally still putting out some solid piano, drum n bass arrangements. If that mix of Pure Furies is anything to judge by this will be quite a nice little album.

-Sound Refil - 天空海闊
>http://img.melonbooks.co.jp/s/213001022598a.mp3
Want to bring some attention to this extremely underrated circle I came across recently and have become fond of. Mostly specialize in traditional instrument type Touhou mixes in the vein of some of O-Life Japan/hachimitsu-lemon's stuff.

-As/Hi Soundworks - 東方の主題によるピアノのための6つのスケッチ
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRgqlIkcC5o
Not sure how people feel about Piano only Touhou albums but I consider Shusetsu Hi;ragi one of the best solo pianists around along with marasy bringing a nice sound.

-Carrotwine. - Lotus Land History -Remilia Scarlet- Symphonie 1 Op.38
>https://soundcloud.com/carrotwine/lotus-land-history-remilia-scarlet-symphonie-1
New album from ARA and continues their dramatic style Touhou symphonic orchestral mix series. If you're into this kinda thing this is probably going to be your only fix this Comiket since Melodic Taste are only doing a compilation this time round.

-k-waves LAB - 木漏れ日のエデン
>https://soundcloud.com/gottucelt/k-waves-labc92-xfade
Back after a 2 year hiatus with more of their Irish style arrangements, this time its a cover of a smartphone game named Another Eden, pretty nice sound judging from the preview.

-風鈴ぼるけいの / Ringing Volcano - 夢のつづき
>https://soundcloud.com/nakazako/reve-inst
>https://soundcloud.com/nakazako/reve-vocals
>https://soundcloud.com/nakazako/reve
Nakazako's Touhou remixes are always plain delightful with a distinctive acoustic sound, one of the few classical contemporary circles who just can not do wrong. Some of these tracks are old and others new, it's split into 3 parts with a instrumental section, vocal section and karaoke section.

where do i find a list of circles participating again? im too lazy to google for myself

>>17424129
Anything you're referring to in particular?

>>17427688

(this one have more chance to be scanned since it a hentai )

>>17423290

Fuck yes.
Hasn't it been like forever since the last album?

When can we expect the upcoming game?

>>17428377
stuff like http://vgmdb.net/album/3053

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1-HvQcBeJM&t=1s

>>17430124
I watch these every year and end up never playing them.

The number of C92 doujin ‒ publishing groups：
Kancolle 1,802
Touhou 1,290
Touken Ranbu 1,232
Idolmaster 1,108
Type-Moon 930

Ctrl-F the thread and no mention of Sakuzyo nor YuC'e. Instead see people mentioning Felt. Why does /jp/ have shit taste?

>>17429496
>hurr metal can't be good music
Kill yourself.

>>17430352
I don't know how it is with you. But I prefer my music to be without fart noises. Noise is fine. But the fart noises just seem forced and do not sound good. What else do you want me to say?

>>17430371
You should visit a doctor if electronic music sounds like fart noises. Either there's a problem with your stomach or your ears.

>>17430381
The music you praise is as creatively bankrupt as your jokes.

>>17430371
>sakuzyo
>fart noises

sakuzyo is top tier instrumentals on certain songs, Language was fantastic.

Yuc'e on the other hand is the incarnation of future meme so I guess you might have a point

>>17430413
>I am "End"
>not fart noises

>>17430264
Is there any source to that?

>>17430390
If you gonna call a brother out, what are you looking forward to this C92?

>>17430527
Nothing :(

>>17430264

Well that's a shame.

Nice post anon, thanks.

>>17431209
They're releasing a Ten Desires jazz album though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCG9XeE84RQ
I like how Night Sakura of Dead Spirits sounds.

>>17431432
What are your ten desires you dumb NEET?

F E L T

That transition between ''Meh, i'll just get the Felt album, since they always release something'' to ''Oh, hey, Compllege, this might be nice'' to ''Mother fcking Demetori''.

I honestly don't expect much from a Comiket anymore, i think i grew tired of them, but i can't stop getting myself hype every time Demetori releases something.

>>17430459
This's only for reference.

>>17423013
If you're going alone and don't have a real plan then you are likely going to just wander around effectively lost, hoping that you bump into stuff that interests you. Either use the web catalog right now to get a rough idea of what you want each day, or get the physical catalog from any of the big stores in Akiba if you get there a day or two early.

Seems like Assault Door is finally doing events again after 猫娘's leukemia hospitalization

http://assaultdoor.web.fc2.com/
https://soundcloud.com/assaultdoor/pn3intqrxpek

>>17432081
There seems to be a sharp plummeting of circle for 2hu and Kancolle. What happened?

>>17428794
They released an album at C91 and a mini album at this year's Reitaisai.

>>17432081
I wonder how Kemono Friends did seeing it exploded after the show ended.

>>17432223
Too late for summer Comiket. Expect to see the effects in winter

>>17432081
is 2hu officially dying?

>>17432218
Touhou has been moving to Reitaisai for years. KC is simply loss of interest.

Not exactly on topic, but I feel that you guys might know.

Does anyone know what happened to 回路-kairo-?

They were one of the most solid rock/metal circles out there, but they just vanished at a point.

>>17432218
FGO is probably absorbing much of Kancolle.

>>17428694
Preview pics are up.
https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=64260562

>>17424129
In my opinion, he and SSH have been consistently getting better. Some of their earlier albums can be hit or miss, but Deadly Dominance and everything after that were good.
I can't say I don't miss old SSH's music style, though. Those arranges on his website were some of the best.

isn't C92 Liz Triangle's last comiket?

got told by a friend that they're planning on showing up to winter comiket

>>17432110

Any advice on planning for Day 3? Pretty sure there's no way I'll get everything that I'want, even if I line up through the night...

Why must the circle IDs in the web catalog change with every Comiket? I like to make a list with links but the web catalog links stop working with every next Comiket. This is really tiring.

>>17432577
That depends on what you want. My day 3 list on the web catalog has 186 entries but there is no way that I'll get all of that - I'll be lucky to get half. The key is to prioritize circles and be flexible.
- Have a route planned out that will let you hit the most important/likely to sell out circles in the best/fastest order.
- Have other circles that are effectively drive-bys on the way from one to another.
- Be ready to say fuck it if a circle has a line that is an hour long if you think you can spend that hour more effectively in other lines.
- Pay attention to the homepages/twitter of circles you care about. Some of them will post saying that their stuff is going to be offered at the big stores in Akiba and elsewhere following comiket, so you may be able to skip them entirely during the event in favor of other circles.
- Always have a Plan B if something goes wrong. If a circle sells out while you're waiting or you decide to skip it, make sure that you know exactly where you're going next.

>>17432580
If you have an account then it saves your previous favorites from one event to another. There is also an catalog archive for previous events https://webcatalog-archives.circle.ms/

>>17422134
https://youtu.be/u1-HvQcBeJM?t=1h4m7s
If I understand correctly, at least the basics are translated right? Can I buy the game online? I have a soft spot for games like these.

Anyone ever try picking up fujos/cosplay girls at comiket?

>>1743266
Why would you assume anything is translated? Chances are most of them won't even without japanese unicode and locale set.
There are games that are out on/have demos on Steam with English versions, but those are rare. You might be able to get others online on DMM or Playism. You can check the page for the official sites which might have links.

"My name is ZUN, king of kings:
Look on my dojin works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

does anyone want to fuck while cosplaying 2hu

>>17433335
as a black jewish pansexual faggot, yes

>>17432218
The 2hu exclusive events are getting bigger so some are focusing more on those and also a lot of the porn doujin are moving onto the next big fad and porn tends to pad out the numbers a lot.

>>17427911
These previews are really good, I'm excited to hear the full releases.

Just wanted to mention some other album preview I spotted announced at the last minute worth noting in addition to the thoughts earlier on.

-Fox Laboratory/狐の工作室 - 喫 茶 紅 魔 館
>http://yuki-factory.main.jp/event/knth-0023.html
One of my favourite circles, Mizuhashi Yuki always puts out some solid instrumental orchestral albums. This is the first album from in over a year or more and continues their Cafe/Bossa Nova line of albums with a EoSD cover.

-アニマトニス Visu - Ember Soul
>https://youtu.be/G-hkZCGdBI0
An original endeavor album by Tokine of Maikaze most will know better as being behind the Touhou Summer Day Dream anime, one thing that can be said is they put out some very nice music.

-荒御霊/AramiTama - 塞神奉納
>https://soundcloud.com/kouki_izumi/demomix
I think this is a lesser known circle? I'm not quite sure, but they normally put out some pretty interesting chillout/'deep' electronic Touhou music. This time round it's a instrumental cover of MoF it's really something you can listen to and spaceout.

>>17432266
No idea, from what I can see is the same as what you mentioned. They just completely ceased any signs of life after 2014, everything related to them has just been abandoned for the last 3 years.

Is there any place to download discographies? I lost part of my collection, so having to download twenty or so albums individually is a pain.

>>17432218
KC has to compete with the new mobages, since they share the fanbase.
Touhou has many more focuses events one of which is big, and also has to compete with of course to flavor of the year attractions.

Also overall, comiket numbers are about who gets more porn more than anything.

What happened to grandblue anyway? Dead already as soon FGO appeared?
Didn't it have a pretty big impact in the previous C or do I remember things wrong?

>>17432898
Why the fuck would you want to try picking on a fujo or cosplayer?

>>17434065
Why pick up a cosplayer when you can just pay them to let you nut on their pancake asses in public

Anon, 'reclining'

>>17434065
For sexual intercourse

Please don't forget to buy the last Dorachefu and scan it because that fucker don't want to sell it on the net.

Ishikei said he wants to make a touhou doujin.

I wonder what goes on through artists minds when someone who they know can't read their books is buying them.

>>17435539
Something like this.

>>17435539
"Fucking scanners" [in Japanese]

Canadian here. Any Canadians willing to share their experience bringing doujins(loli/shota or not) back? Am I completely fucked and should resort to shipping or just flat out give up?

>>17435719
Don't do it. You're playing Russian Roulette with customs

>>17435719
Doesn't Canadian mail also get inspected? You might have to use DHL or some other courier that's not the postal service.

You could probably pull it off by stuffing a few in the bottom of your luggage underneath your neatly folded clothes, as that'd hardly show up in x-ray (or even worse, stuff it inside of an actual book/magazine) but I'm not sure how Canadian customs works or how invasive the process for re-entry is.

wavforme hiked the prices for both of their new releases from 1620 yen to 2160 yen at consignment shops. Back to Summer 2 is really good but PE2 neither looks nor sounds like what a sequel to PE should be. Anyone feel me?

>>17422166
ha, pathetic wageslave!

>>17437542
Too much self respect to leech or autismbux, too bougie to wallow in filth as a broke piece of shit. Sorry.

I want to be hopeful but I haven't liked his recent works.

could anyone help a gaijin in need with a translation? i tried the google photo translate thingy but i don't think it gives a proper translation. i would go to wsr but this is comiket related. thanks.

Does the same artist always get wall spot at every comiket? Who determines that?

I'm not ready.

whats the best way to keep up with comiket coverage?
are there any live streamers to look out for?

So where did you guys buy your folding chairs from?

>>17448007
I got mines from Homes. It is a nice camping chair with armrest. It folds up pretty small so it takes up little room in my backpack when I don't need it. It takes up more room than the folding stools most use, but I don't mind. The back and armrest make it way easier to take a nap while waiting in that long ass line.

>>17448007

>>17436696
Yeah, kinda in the same boat here, just not interested in outsider. On the positive, I can just spend that money on Phant 2 instead.

While they sitting on the short end of the stick because KanColle keep pumping new boat girls, FGO put the last nail.

are people gonna post the queue like last time

>>17435719
Fellow Canadian here, I've been too scared to bring anything back as I have friends/ family who work at the airport and tell me stories. I figure the risk to reward ratio is too high for my comfort.

>>17450019
>work at the airport and tell me stories
post story please

>>17448805
I'm still buying it because I like the circle and I want to support the main contributors, but I hope it doesn't set a precedent of inviting people like Aire in to participate. I strongly dislike the kind of kawaii future-bass stuff that he and Ujico put out on Soundcloud, and while I'm reasonably sure that Ujico is able to contain his faggotry from hearing his (solid) work on Faint Light EP, Paranoid Euphoria, and AD Trance 4, I don't know anything about Aire that suggests the same. It worries me.

What doesn't worry me though is Phant 2. Taishi is a genius and I'll follow him to the ends of the earth. Is there anyone better to hear the line "it'll be more on the experimental side this time" from than him?

>>17430264
WHY ISN'T KANCOLLE NOT DEAD YET

fucking kancolle is killing touhou

>>17432081
Do you have numbers for Reitaisai?

>>17437554
>Too much self respect to leech or autismbux
Actually, it's rather the opposite, not thinking you deserve the free money. Becoming a slave is rarely a sign of self-respect. Just rephrase it as your respect for others, that should be more fitting and still sounds positive.

>>17442392
AFAIK, the organizers decide it based on the current popularity. So an artist can gain or lose a wall spot.

>>17450575
Not too aware of what happens at these, but if you see a confused /p/hag in floral pajama pants, a shirt that reads "THE VULTURE IS HERE" holding a black Leica, I'll share snacks or smokes if you let me take a snapp of you holding all your merch.

So do people still camp earliest train to get to the big site?

>>17450764
No idea. I'll go down to a station to take a look. Give me like 40 minutes, I have to pick up change on the way. 500 yen coins, right?

Anyone got this album?:

Don't know how Comiket works, first time and all. Most likely going to wander.
Don't know about day 1 and 2, but day 3 is a yes.

Status: prayed.

>>17450019
Is this some sort of meme. I have been flying in and out of countries for the better part of 10 years. Never in any of my times in customs have I ever had my bags checked. All I have even done is fill out the customs card before I land and hand it in once I get off.

Granted I have never went to Canada so I don't know maybe they do it different there.

Do people make no more Google files for these events?

>>17450968

I'll say hi if I see you, I'm a /p/hag too but won't really be shooting. (Fuck lugging my real system around, I'm just bringing my RX100.)

Well if may be beyond the interest of anyone here, could someone consider finding this 100% orange juice fanart set?
https://sirokiri.com/2017/07/c92-usui-orangejuice/

It looks exclusive. The OJ community tries to hunt down all the media from the developers with what power they have.

Another Comiket, another comiket sad because no Cirno Racing or Paper Cirno.

What site do you guys use to buy Comiket/Reitaisai stuff?

I'm kind of a newfag to comiket besides like the really basic shit you learn about it from anime.

Why the desire for 500 yen coins? Do super famous people like ZUN go to comiket? I know people generally buy the guides but I just really didn't feel like spending ~2500 yen on that shit.

>>17452540
>do super famous people like ZUN go to comiket
You won't believe it man, but Team Shangai Alice is still considered as a doujin circle.

>>17452529
i use buyfags

when do doors open? is anyone there right now? i haven't seen any pictures yet.

All that tedius hoop jumping to register on circle.ms and the catalog isnt even fucking downloadable? What a load of shit.

>>17452700

It wont open until 10am japan time; which is past 6 hours from now. That doesnt mean that there arent already people waiting though.

2hu in less than 10 hours!

Any video of the first train? I usually watch those for some reason.

>>17454110
Trains are p packed but only after 7am

/p/hag again, if anyone has a checklist of shit to scan and translate, tell me and I'll try to pick up a copy to bring stateside. Just make sure it's not anything that'll get me cavity searched at the airport.

Someone call a doctor.

Anyone know any buyers that could take a request to mail onwards?
Will pay handsomely.

>>17454229
I'm probably not the only one but I often wonder why their customers aren't treated with more respect. They're the ones buying things after all. What happened to the good old clientèle is king? I guess it's part of the experience. But still. Nice .webm though. Do you mind if I save it?

>>17454261
why are you under the impression that the customers aren't treated with respect?

>>17454272
>standing in lines for hours just to miss out on an album

>>17454277
surly that is a problem that comes down to simple logistics. if everyone could barge into the venue as one giant blob, without people being trampled or fighting each other, you wouldn't be forced to stand in line.

>>17454277
It's not a problem of the booths, it's the whole comiket structure being, well kinda shitty, the temperature being a major example

You can't do much about it though due to the sheer numbers, the worst part is probably going back home since you also need to wait a lot in line only to end up like a sardine in the train

Is there any live stream from Tokyo Big Sight (to see how weebs are standing in queues)?

>>17454261
>customers
what

>>17454261
You don't understand.

>>17454368
i have been looking and have found nothing.
no periscope or facebook live or anything.

Strange, but true. They are too shy to publish live stream.

Hi!
I am headed to the big site
Today is cool and comfortable

>>17454567
cool day dude

ETA on HSiFS?

>>17454580
ca. 2 hours

>>17454261
They are not customers, they are fans. This is not a shop, it is a convention.

If you want to buy doujinshi, they have actual stores and mail-order for that (toranoana, melonbooks, suruga-ya, etc.). And those stores are actually very nice, precisely to entice customers.

A convention, among other things, has a tendency to be a more spontaneous, self-made operation. While Comiket is the exception, most conventions just have the funds to:
1. Make and distribute catalog
2. Secure an appropriate location
3. Do vetting, if need be
4. Any special events particular to the convention
5. Logistics, Emergency services, etc.

>>17454588
Add 90 minutes to account for people clearing the game, then posting images of the bosses for Stages 4-EX.

>>17454627
>this is not a shop
Stopped reading there

>>17454447
>>17454501
It's more just the desire for anonymity, even on a larger scale. Photography is usually forbidden except for the press.

Just imagine your employer (Japanese) seeing that you bought monster-loli-shota-futa-trap-Kancolle doujinshi #429.

>>17454628
No, I'm tired, I don't want this.

>>17454630
Then where are the sales staff that have nothing to do with the product being sold?

Is the guy on the highway who is selling corn from the back of his pickup running a shop?

博麗神主 @korindo
設営したよー。本日はよろしくお願いします。

Its drizzling and my legs are tired and im hungry and theres an autist whos been picking at his shirt and mumbling to himself for the past hour like he's an animu mc behind me who just wont shut the fuck up.

Why isnt this event held at a big field like a music festival or just done online? The venue is way too small for this crowd.

>>17454632
>Photography is usually forbidden except for the press.
They can't fucking stop me

>>17454645
You're just setting the conditions at this point.

>>17454632
>desire for anonymity
i assumed that is why you see so people wearing surgical masks.
i think it is a common misconception that the japanese are extremely health conscious.

>>17454632
>kancolle

>>17430371
Some of them really do sound like farts. The intro of シンデレラは魔法使い I didnt like too much, would have been a 10/10 if it didn't have that.

>>17454657
For males:
1. Anonymity (not really, needs sunglasses)
2. Because people over there really don't like getting spit coughed upon them. Covering your mouth is ok, but the mask is seen as more sanitary.

For females:
1. Also coughing
2. To hide pimples/makeup issues/etc.

Source: Lived there and asked

Mima soon

>>17454666
thatsthejoke.jpg

>>17454655
Yes, that is generally how you define things, by setting conditions.

A location is not a shop if it does not have the purpose of selling goods at its forefront. And the Tokyo Big Sight is intended to be an exhibition center, which in the case of Comiket, are the circles exhibiting their creations, which can also be bought.

Good luck to those in the lines, hope you lovely people get what you wanted

>>17454651
I'm really glad I don't have anything I want to buy for the first 2 days, still dreading lining up on Sunday though.

No

>>17454746
meh. wet otaku probably don't smell as bad as sweaty otaku.

>>17454746
Sea breeze and rain is suppressing the smell, will probably get cloudy inside

>>17454733
No, probably just a case of him no longer having the free time to work on two games at once. HSiFS just got finished less than a week ago.

Last one for y'all, phone battery is getting low

thanks for sharing

From 2ch

I've never been to Comiket, but I did go to Fancy Frontier in Taipei. It also had a pretty long wait, but the line only started at 12am, and it was only about a 2 hour wait to get in when I got there at ~7AM.

Fun Fact: People could sell their work uncensored there, no gential bars or pixelation.

NEW TOUHOUS

still not sold this is real

Too much action in this drawing

>>17455495
how the fuck did his artstyle get even worse

goddamn was he sober when doing this

>>17455512
Looks like this is her EX stage form.
This is the first time the last boss is also the EX stage boss I think.

>>17455570
Junko.

>>17455570
hahah just imagine how shit that would be thankfully it's fake, right
hahaha
haha

ha

According to Google Translate, 6th stage boss is also the EX-boss.
This is lazy, ZUN. Junko paired with Hecatia was okay, even fun, but this is just lazy.
IF YOU CAN'T CREATE A NEW CHARACTER FOR AN EXTRA STAGE THEN WHY NOT MIMA YOU ASSHOLE

>>17455495
Have you ever been so desperate for hats that you just found a pair of shoes

>>17455512
remind me of MB otohime for some reasons

>>17455621
Those are just the Tsukumo sisters playing dress-up

you can't fool me ZUN

>>17455617
or yuuka, for god sake

>>17455495
it's ogre, it's ogre again

>>17455656
Actually, yes. Yuuka was already reintroduced, so it would be even easier to write her into the story.
Also, isn't she the Flower Master of Four Seasons?
And Medicine could be EX-midboss.

Some screenshots of 4th stage:
http://coolier.dip.jp/th_up4/
Everything marked "New!" is HSiFS screenshot.

>>17455617
Why can't the ex boss also be the stage 6 boss? In SoEW, the ex boss was also Rika.

>>17455747
Flower master of four seasons only says she has powers over every flower, not seasons, and even then that power is just a consequence of her true power

>>17455247
what's wrong? don't you like eggheads ?

Any download links yet? One was posted on /v/, but it was just the demo.

>>17455838
When a link appears it's obvious it's out

>>17455817
See, the problem is that Stage 6 is already pretty good place. Stage 6 bosses have a lot of spellcards, dialogue, backstory and stuff. Making them also an EX-boss is just way too much spotlight.
Rika, meanwhile, was Stage 1 (I think) boss, so it's fine.

>>17455495
this is jinzo statue or something right

>>17455838
that link wasn't a virus? why would someone upload the demo?

>>17455924
Makes me want to use her as a substitute life

>>17455930
i remember someone doing that when 14 came out

>tfw nothing will top LoLK's levels of hype

This game had just a random FS prologue but nothing else, no theories, no marisa death or anything serious.

>>17455930
It was just a hacked version of the demo that replaced the first boss's patterns with cp's, amoung other things.
Someone did it for the 16 demo as well.

>>17455924
That's what her description said.
Looks like someone was kind enough to give her a hat to protect her from the snow. Although apparently she gained her power from a blizzard.

>>17455961

Lives are still gained by scoring.
Spell Capture is still unaffected by releases.
And this final card looks even worse than Junko's.

Somebody was shilling Akatsuki Records earlier so I went and bought Kill Love Fireproof and The Best, hope it ends up being decent lol.

Anybody know any decent electro-ish albums that are supposed to drop today? I want to buy some more but I'm kind of out of the loop on new Touhou music.

Sounds, well, EX-y

It also acts like Summer but quicker, it's like Len'en flashbomb.

That flashbomb bait spellcard though

EX Boss also shoots from underneath you. What a dick.

>>17456290
Instead of Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter, Extra has Fifth Season. It shoots back (which is pretty useful in this Extra).

Really hating this non-spellcards-stronger-than-spellcards meme

He's already beating it, huh

Travel. I can only make it to summerket anyway.

Its an odd fell when i bought the fucking HFiFS in person today, yet pretty much everyone here will play it before i can. All i have in Japan is my phone and i still have a few days beforw i come home.

I spent 32k today

>>17458789

Whew anon, I spent a about $120 usd and i feel just slightly disgusted at my impulse control....

Hope you got a legendary haul.

Was today the touhou day?

>>17458799
>disgusted at my impulse control
Exactly what goes through my mind at the moment. My head just went blank and I ended up buying all kinds of trash half of which I can't even remember. Same thing happened in akihabara, this trip is way too expensive.

>>17458789
>>17458799
Not even going to try to figure out how many multiples I spent over you guys, but at least most of the expensive commercial stuff I wanted is taken care of now.

Heyo/jp/.
I plan to buy some works buy YOKKORA, and have already bought some from Tora. I'll add a picture but, most of the works are A-Okay except for a few, as they have some straight shota. Not like super small shota, but still shota.

What's the best way to go through US customs you think? Checked bag? Carry on? My friend and I had the plan of putting red tape on them as if I just bought them, since they have the sticker of purchase on them and then just tell them I've never opened them if I'm questioned.

I really need some advice on this!
I apologize, and thank you in advance!

>>17459090
stop overthinking, nobody's gonna search you

>>17458064
I hope someone picks up this guys works. I need more lewd Tokitsukaze.

>>17459113
I know, just my first time so I am worried haha. The covers don't even have any shotas on it, it's just bbw hairy girls.

What did your guys loli doujin have? Like straight up on the cover?

>>17454137
Couldn't find them, but I did find out where the CD section is. I was going in a loop without realizing it, and I was wondering why all I saw was loli, touhou, and gay porn. I was aiming more for stuff that could be scanned by burgers so people could read them online.

>>17454173
What hall are they in?

I think I give up with Comiket, there's nothing I want to buy that isn't in the stores a few days later and all the people and heat makes me feel dizzy and faint

some great loli artists/circles I plan to check out Friday

however I don't wanna bring any doujins back into the US. do they have other merch I could maybe ask them to sign?

>>17459213
But Friday is finished?

>>17459208
This was the most moderate in terms of temperature on day 1 during during a summer comiket in recent memory.

>>17459218
fuck. I meant Sunday, sorry. Day 3

>>17459223
I know, but all the people moving about makes my eyes go weird and hurts my head

>>17458140
I live here.

>>17458857
I didn't spend anything other than 450 yen on yakisoba, 100 yen on water and 1000 yen or so for my train...

>>17458082
Same. Along with any lewd doujins.

I would then expect it to show up in secondhand/doujin shops for 3 times the price the next day.

Can't wait to listen to minimum electric design and the newest flap+frog.

What's that thing on the left with that girl in the blue dress? I feel like I've seen that before.
