/jp/ - Otaku Culture

wait, how does one access that swank looking porch area? Climbing out the window?

Is that SHO I see in your CD section?

>>4977322
quite the pimp aren't you.

Oh my god that's like a freaking fapheaven.

>>4977328
You get to it by moving around the wall into the living room, there's a door to access the roof.
>>4977332
Your eyes aren't fooling you, yeah that's SHO.

>>4977322
Where did you get all the wallscrolls/posters?
I've been looking for a good site.
Unless you bought them all at conventions or something.

>>4977367

Megami magazine is a good source of posters, wallscrolls can be found by googling

>>4977367
Most of them are from Megami Magazine, Dengeki Hime and Nyan Type. Your favorite site choice for them should be either HobbyLink Japan or J-list.

>>4977387
Wait what, where the hell are you living? Other than the shitty gray wall, it looks kinda fine.

Dunno if I'll post mine since it'd look out of place. And I just cleaned it too.

I can't top OP's headphones, though.

Three pics cause I'm lazy.

>>4977411
Looks like a squatter.

Hm, am I the only one who doesn't see the appeal in the whole ANIME POSTERS EVERYWHERE-look?

I have a few posters that I have framed that I change a few times a year. I choose them carefully and it takes a lot for me to buy one. It's looks a lot classier in my opinion.

OP's got a few nice figurines though.

>>4977420

>>4977431

>>4977411
What the fuck are you talking about? I wish I could live in a room like his.

>>4977420
>>4977431
>>4977434
fucking richfag

I'm a bit jealous of your Azunyan poster, OP.

>>4977420
The large black book entitled GRAY'S ANATOMY in the bookshelf feels really out of place in this picture.

>>4977419 here
I guess it doesn't look that out of place anymore.

>>4977434
Nice painting.

>>4977420
Dat Detolf.
>>4977431
>>4977434
Nice and clean, really liking that Flandre painting / poster.

My room is blank, except for boxes of junk piled everywhere.

I'd post my room but then /jp/ would see my old manga collection and they'd mock my younger self's bad taste and make me cry so I won't ;_;

>>4977466
I guess attaching the picture would be an improvement.

>>4977425
You're not the only one - I was thinking about getting a couple nice posters and framing them, rooms wallpapered in posters look both stupid and ugly.
Currently have nothing up though, as I'm too fucking poor for unnecessary shit like interior decor.

>>4977477
I don't really mind.
>>4977479
Always wanted to ask you, is that a custom made desk? Also, you automatically win points for liking Nutella.

>>4977425
its an asian thing, or something like that.

>>4977510
>is that a custom made desk?
Yeah.
My dad helped me throw it together last year at Easter.
This easter I got the drawers mounted under the right part, and today I put the little thing up to the far left so my headphones don't have to lie in the sun (when I don't cover my window with the shitty IKEA fleece plaids I use for curtains.)

>>4977510
>implying there's anybody out there who doesn't like nutella

>>4977425
I find the colors of anime posters in general too attention grabbing and not fitting for a room you're supposed to relax in.

This is the only anime-related thing I have on my wall.

>>4977387
What's the rent? Did you pay extra for those graffiti?

Can't jizz anywhere in OP's room without ruining a poster.

>>4977434
Deeyum I want that Ryougi poster.

>>4977530
Well shit, guess I'll go around and look for another desk if yours isn't buyable.

I might not have any otaku stuff, but at least my room is larger than all of yours!

>>4977570
You can just make your own.
It's not like fitting a couple of 200x80cm wooden plates on top of some legs from old desks is extremely difficult.

A bit time consuming if you want to give it oil and cut it in a strange angle to fit the corner of the room like I did, but what you get is much better than whatever 60cm deep POS IKEA can throw at you.

>>4977464
I do a lot of cgi character modeling so the anatomical diagrams are really helpful, plus its an interesting read. Although it not the up to date super expensive one its just an older edition i picked up at chapters for $10.

>>4977539
True. I generally don't like the typical look that anime posters have. Things like promotional posters and similar usually looks a bit better, but those are instead harder to find. Japanese auctions help. I am collector at heart, so it's like a hobby.

>>4977508
Sadly frames are very expensive ;_;
Linking to what I said above about posters I like being hard to find, I wouldn't want to ruin them by sticking them to the wall with pins or nails or something. So framing it is.

heres a few of my room, camera is crap so sorry about grainy pics 1/3

2/3

3/3 ill post more posters and rest of ceiling if people want me to

Only have a pic of my desk and too lazy to take more right now.

>>4977641
>>4977646
>>4977648
Nice selection of posters, also, do I see a copy of OKAZ there?

>>4977660
good eye, yes its OKAZ, got it at convention earlier in the month, also have KYONew right behind it

What headphones are those, OP?

>>4977698
AKG K701s

>>4977713
where did you find your reimu nendoroid, I cant find one anywhere for less then 100$

>>4977713
I wish the government paid me more so that I could afford a nice apartment like that.

;_;

>>4977713
I envy you.

>>4977722
I reserved it via http://tokyohunter.blogspot.com/..

Was around $80USD after shipping, commission, etc. I think.

>>4977420
>>4977431
>>4977434
Sup bzzzra.

>>4977740

>>4977740
Are you a cat?

>>4977746
What. Why?

>>4977750

>>4977754
Because of that Miku wallpaper. Or maybe you're the one who requested it in the Mahjong thread yesterday. Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

>>4977322
Would you mind sharing the wallpaper on your left monitor?

>>4977746
Huh?

>>4977761
I was the one who requested it.

>>4977761
Xin uses that wallpaper for tenhou, not me.

>>4977809

I was hoping for some idea from this thread on how to keep my paperbacks from falling down, but looks like we're all in the same boat on this one.

>>4977894
>>4977641 here
the bookcases I have are for Dvds' they work great being adjustable and all.

>>4977892
Thanks

My desk is messy and my figurines are in the middle of a re-organization, so this is all you get /jp/.

>>4977713
This is really nice. But the only thing to really make me jealous was that Yukarin. Do want ;_;

>>4977894
-Buy more paperbacks
-get book ends
-put the last book in the line on a but if an angle
- stack them horizontally until you get more

>>4977894
I use empty Sake bottles for bookends.

>>4977919

Genius.

does anyone know where to order Dengeki Maoh other amazon? I forgot to add the may issue when i made my last purchase and i don't really feel like spending $20 shipping for a $6 magazine.

>>4977913

>girl shoes

Okay, so you're a girl.

> Silly hat collection

OH MY GOD, ARE YOU A TOUHOU?!?!?

>>4977906
I don't have enough books/money/space to justify buying new shelves.

>>4977915
>book ends
Oh, so that's what they're called in English, thanks.
>stack them horizontally until you get more
Won't that look messy?

>>4977944
Yes and yes. I am the little girl you so wish to be, /jp/~

>>4977950
STACK THEM VERTICALLY LIKE A REAL MAN

>>4977944
>OH MY GOD, ARE YOU A TOUHOU

This must be the greatest compliment ever given on /jp/.

>>4977950
>stack them horizontally until you get more
>Won't that look messy?

somewhat, but it may look better then a stack that has half fallen.

>>4977954

PROVE IT

>>4977975
Impossible. I can't. For truth is, I am not a real Touhou.

I am just a regular girl with a silly hat-collection. I live in denial, hoping to someday become a real Touhou and meet with my fellow magical girls in our perfect lesbian paradise.


;_;

>>4977836

>>4978002

cool story sis

>>4978002
don't we all

>>4978002
You are now realizing that even if you were to become a Touhou they would most likely ostracize you.

my room is rather boring sorry /jp/

These rooms are pretty nice. How can you afford some of this stuff?

>>4978086
I work.

>>4978086
like most of /jp/ living with parents helps.

>>4978086
Banks, you rob them.

>>4978086
Work, pretty much.

>>4977713
where did you get those posters from?
I like the frames too

>>4978150
I'm guessing that these are custom prints

>>4978150
magazines like Megami, and anything from Jlist. about 20$ each after shipping though

>>4978163
>Jlist
but they suck so much penis that even gay people find it awful.

>>4977913
I like the hats, but those shoes suck.

>>4978150
he said in another thread that they were custom prints on canvas. They look so nice that i was gonna get a few done but after seeing the prices and having a bit of a heart attack i decided against it for now. every time i see that pic though i think about putting aside some money and getting one done.

>>4978086
By having extra cash to buy useless shit.

Well that's the interessting part of it.

I'd post my room, but it's devoid of any /jp/ shit. I've some Hello Kitty shit, like two Haruhi posters, some manga, a badly draw Flandre silhouette, but that's it. My room is a stereotypical hipster room.

>>4978223
holy shit do you live in a bathroom or something?

>>4978163
While i hate j-list with a passion if only ordering 1 magazine they are very slightly cheaper then amazon ( if you order 2 magazines amazon is like $2 cheaper plus they come through FedEx). However they don't have dengeki maoh. ;_;

Well it's on the ground floor and tile floor so sometimes it does seem like it. But it's actually kinda nice and cool in summer.

>>4978150
As someone else said, they are custom canvas prints.

>>4978270

Seems a phrase taken from a visual novel / eroge

>>4978002

Sanae?

For good posters:

1:Find a site that contains high res scans.
2:Find a printing press.
3:Enjoy poster without having to pay for a magazine you cant understand half of.

>>4978086
Most of us are unsociable hermits that never go outside except for work. All we spend out money on is our rooms :(
If you think about how much money you save from not spending money on going out drinking, going shopping, having a girl/boyfriend, having no social life ect, money mounts up and you can buy nice things.

>>4978371
Living with parents also helps.

>>4978361
whats a good website with high-res scans?

>>4978361

I use my printer with external ink tanks.

Multiple page posters. Cheap but a little tricky , you need to be perfect .

>>4978371

the fucking truth.

>>4978388
http://moe.imouto.org/

I actually got some of my canvas prints (>>4977713) from this site.

>>4978388
moe.imouto.org

>>4978388
The only one I know of is moe.imouto, but they've really gone down the shitter the past two years.

>>4978388

4chan hires

>>4978371
damn right. My friend wonders where all his money goes yet every thursday he goes out drinking and spends $100-150, plus he still buys alcohol for use at home.

>>4978371

hey, that's the only way I can afford living on my own. I leech a little bit of money of my father and it keeps me afloat, I don't have a lot leftover though.

>>4978454
there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

>>4978429
What a waste, I don't get the whole drinking yourself silly on the weekend thing. I mean, I have friends (god knows how) but I'd rather spend 100 to 150 dollars on something solid that will last more then a few hours. People say, it's for "a good time" well I say to them, they aren't very creative and there's better things to do then pour your hard earned cash down the toilet (or pavement, or shirt)
And smoking, WHY Smoke?!?! It's like a double negative. No will power or creativity these "normal" people :(

>>4978462
It's what family is for anyway.

>>4978478
Preaching to the choir, buddy.

>>4978462
>>4978509

Oh I'm not feeling bad about it, just wish he'd put out a little more, haha.

>>4978478
Serves them right for falling to peer pressure in the first place. That's the only reason 99% of people start smoking/drinking in the first place.

>>4978478
I don't get it either. I mean i drink ( scotch and Absinthe, expensive but a bottle lasts a few months since I don't drink much) and some times i go out with friends but I wont get hammered or anything just a drink or two. I just can't see why you would spend so much on one night that you probably wont even remember.

I also smoke (cigars) but very rarely like as in 2-3 a year. occasionally its nice to just relax outside with a nice Cuban cigar. (yay for living in Canada, Cubans are sold at almost every smoke shop. even the super expensive $300 each ones)

>>4977425
I agree. Posters everywhere looks shit. They all detract from eachother. I feel the same about figures. Minimalism is the way forward and a true Japanese artform.

>>4977713
Very very classy, I like your style. How much did those prints cost and what size are they? I was thinking of getting some prints made myself, but I only know of Kinkos, but I'm sure I can get a better deal than them.

>>4978571
minimal figures do look nice but after collection for a few years those conservative collections can grow quite large.

>>4978202
give.. me.. that.. room

Reported.

>>4978594
I'd buy posters and figures and such, but I hate clutter and such, I like my free space.
My room is pretty bare.
I have a Bed, 1 computer desk, 1 Computer, 2 Monitors, Plasma TV, char and 1X Set of Drawers

>>4978583
Not him but, Those are canvas prints so about $150-200 for the smaller ones and about $300-400 for the big one. Most smaller print shops can do print + plaque for around $50 for 22x34 which is i think what >>4977434 had done, I could be wrong though.

>>4977479
I want this Desk.

>>4978609
No decorations or any type?

>>4978478
>:(

>>4978571
A huge collection of posters or figures can still look good if presented right. For starters, don't have them clutter a shelf and shell some extra cash with platforms and such.

I guess, kinda like this.

>>4978621
No. I'm pretty plain and boring. Plain White walls too :(

Guys just because no one but you will be in your rooms doesn't mean you should throw aesthetics to the wind.

>>4978636
I always loved that setup. though the guy must be richer than god to afford that stuff.

>>4978636
Christ, that room, the mount of money that was invested into that.

>>4978636
What a cute cat, I love striped kitties.

>>4978645

hmm.. no.

Lots of Nice shelves , good sofa, decent spotlights. about 4- 5000 euros, 6- 7k dollars , i guess.

way less than a brand new car.

>>4978669
Jesus. I spent a bit looking at the picture trying to find a cat, then suddenly saw it.

>>4978683
Okay, now add the price of what those shelves and the display case hold.

>>4978683
what type of shelves are those?

>>4978697

NOW that's the real problem

>>4978613
Pretty much correct. The 24x36 ones over my bed were $150, and the one over my desk was $350, mostly because it's from DeviantArt and is overpriced, but also because it's 45x30. Those prices include the frame.

>>4978636
Virgin for life right? Love that attitude, though that's really the only thing I can compliment you for

>>4978701
Generic black shelves.

>>4978697
Actually, those figurines seem to be mostly figmas and Nendoroids. They're not that expensive, at least not when bought at the time when they were first released and from a shop/onlineshop that doesn't rip it's buyers off.

>>4978714
sorry i meant the display cases.

>>4978709
>buying a $350 poster from deviantart
really guy

really

>>4977322
Just wanted to say I noticed you use the Transmission Web Interface.

>>4978712
Actually the person who owns that room is gay, and has a boyfriend. So no, probably not a virgin.

>>4978724
Big difference between poster and canvas. But I don't mind over-spending on things I want.

>>4978712
I don't really consider "virgin" offensive. I mean, if anything, I'd respect a virgin more for being able to keep it in his or her pants.

>>4978719
Yes but its the shelves in the back that are expensive. If the shelves are about 75% full and the only thing on them are mange volumes you're looking at about $25,000usd

>>4978737
congrats on being the average american

>>4978724
If you've got the money, I don't see why you can't buy things you want for it, however it is a bit pricey.

>>4978726
Didn't think that anyone would notice it, hi5 bro.

>>4977322
Mine... bit sick atm, therefore the flowers and medicine

>>4978709
I'm pretty sure I've seen that big poster in a pixiv artbook so the artist might have ripped you off if you got it from DA.

>>4978776
If we are talking about the same posters above the Reimu and Marisa covers, then I am too, pretty sure that all those are pixiv originals...

>>4978768
>katanas
I hope whatever you have kills you.

>>4978636
I wouldn't want a huge display case in the middle of my living room, but I guess at least it looks opulent.

>>4978776
As is the case with DA 90% of the time.
Still the past is the past and he's happy with his expensive print off.

>>4978789
A Iaito and a Bokken

>>4978776
It's a redjuice drawing. I've contacted him trying to buy prints directly (especially for fanart stuff), but he wouldn't. I bought it through his dA page. Ultimately it's dA doing the ripping off, as I've heard the artists get a very small % of sales.

>>4978788
The prints over my bed I ripped from moe.imouto and/or Pixiv and used an online print shop my friend recommended.

>>4978709
Hmm, did you get them printed at a local shop?

Pic related. It's $200 for a 26.5 x 35.5 print, price of the frame included.

Shipping is free though, apparently...

>>4978724
>>4978709

Do-it-youself guy here.
(from pics>>4977836 and >>4978007)

I spend a good sum of money for my otaku lifestyle, but only on manga.
As you can see i tend to print my own stuff. From posters to papercrafts. Complex papercrafts are very tedious to make , but the results are extremely satisfying. (pic related, i keep 'em at my parent's house, since i don't have any more space here... yes , my parents are quite aware of my power level)

0 costs , better appearance than lots of plastic action figures.

Why am i buying lots of manga and comics in general ?
I've noticed that some of my complete first edition series have a collection value

...at least in the country where i live...

( even a shitty 1st edition manga like Naruto has reached nearly the double of the original price on ebay... )

>>4978855
http://www.photosprintedoncanvas.com/

I'd love a Saya print, but I've yet to see a piece of art that really caught my eye. Even redjuice's Saya is pretty meh in my opinion.

>>4978916
Yeah, Saya needs some better fanart. I'm probably ganna spend a whole week deciding what I'd want printed first, because I'm really indecisive and have a fucking huge collection of images stored on my hard drives.

Thanks for the link, off to check the site out.

Everyone should keep in mind that garage sales are great places to find cheap picture frames.

Bought another rifle for my room. I can't wait for it to get here.

I collect figures

Only noteworthy part of my room.

This thread makes me want a job...

Don't have any pictures of my room, but I do have a somewhat related question. Can anyone recommend a good display case for figs? I have mine in a shitty bookcase-type thing and it's completely full, including the top. I've heard good things about the Ikea Detolfs, but they don't ship them online and there's no Ikea store in my state.

>>4979265
Yuno who needs a figma?

>>4978636

That room is fucking awesome, owned by someone to be envious of.

>>4979499
The guy who owns that rooms is a homosexual, so naturally he has awesome taste in interior decorating.

>>4979520

i want to be homo , then
