Thanks. How much are tickets? What time do doors typically open and do I have to get there super early to line up? Are there any shops or restaurants nearby?

If I do go I'm not really planning on autistically figuring out what I want to buy, at least not at my first Comiket. I mainly want to go for the experience, and just walk around and maybe buy whatever catches my eye.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42195996
red saw is the normal meet place, pic related. At worst look for the Madoka wearing lidil shoes walking around and probably lifting a few people up for photos. Happy to point you in a direction of some stuff but this event is massive and crazy, so I can't exactly handhold.

>>42195991
>What am I supposed to do there to make the most of my time?
If you don't have the book I would suggest hitting up melonbooks or something like bookoff for a last minute Comiket 101 guide or use the online guide. Look for shows you like and walk down the vendor hall alleys for things. Things may have changed since covid but plenty of cosplay around as well.

What, even for next year?

[Anonymous No.]

I got one spare ticket for day 2, but it most likely requires some social engineering as they claims to check names on ID.

>>42196101
Buying tickets from e+ weren't that bad. While their website did crash during first half hour (and that's how I ended up with total 3 tickets on my cart), nothing got instantly sold out.
Just note that they are selling worst time slots for gaijins, so it would good to have Japanese phone number.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42196101
Tickets are sold out they were online early, and will be for the forseeable future

You will have a time slot for foreigners to get there this year it is 11 or 1130 AM, generally you would get the first train in to grab a good spot. The lines are generally huge, pic related in 2019 there was still lines even by 2019.

You can walk around AFAIK with the cosplay/food trucks/etc but can't go to the vendor hall. IMO if you don't have a ticket or aren't staying very close my like at Toyosu... Don't really try to bother

>>42196146

Not really, the market for english is too small. google translate works well, best to just check authors and artists you know for their booth #
>>42196285
Nope, it's mostly a vendor hall at the core of it. If you don't know the booth # of the artist or whatever you want then you are boned. Generally each day has a theme, 2hu is saturday fate is tomorrow, again google translate at worst.

>>42196328

You can only really know the answer by experiencing it for yourself.

Keep in mind that the doujin works that make it to the West are a tiny fraction (and almost all porn).

Doujin encompasses a wide variety of media including fanwork manga, novels, music, indie games, handmade crafts, travel guides, tutorials on how yo brick your computer with Linux, and many others.

Comiket being the biggest doujin event will have a bit of everything in every genre. If you are starting with zero background and want to explore the different subcultures then it is a good place to start. There's no shame in just walking around and browsing. Just ask and you can sample the work from any booth for free.

Mostly a location for anyone looking for a bit of socializing, other than that not much.

Precovid most people would discuss anything to go look for in akihabara that could have been missed/sold out, go for karaoke, or drink.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42202281
This anon is correct. Proper scans often result in destroying the spine of the work(s) stuff you get at comiket or Japan in general can never be uploaded or only uploaded after literal years after the series is done.

The amount of doujinshi works here is insane, CD's will be usually ripped but the comics+doodles+comiket specific shit will never make it to the internet properly.

yes, they made a portal/website to allow foreigners to buy the ticket but included only those two timeframes. Not that it really matters; from what I could understand you can enter anytime after the assigned timeslot.
So you can even arrive in the afternoon.

Just get to the location you're supposed to line up at slightly before the time printed on the ticket, they do a good job of not giving campers an advantage since corona. Also with a ticket that late there is no "first", whichever you pick you'll be lucky to get what you want, and the other will be sold out when you're done, unless you're after some niche shit. Personally I suggest doujin because it has more "sovl" as they say.

Not really, there were unofficial 整理券 fags and overnighters up through the first few alphabet letters at east, and first train stampeding right up until corona.

Eh, honestly it's to be expected. The vibe I get is that most of the people left just treat Comiket as either a dickwaving contest to validate your choice in franchise to follow or a bi-annual porn dump. Felt like there's very little interest in what's going on at the event itself nowadays.

The summer comiket was pretty packed in discussions over there so i'm even more confused on the lack of enthusiasm this time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42205276
I'd say pretty chill, although I think it might be my specific case. In the lab at the university that's hosting me, I hang out with the post-docs and the researchers. It's just three people and only one of them is actually Japanese, the other two are foreigners from other parts of Asia. That probably makes it easier since they speak a bit of English. They're more sociable, probably because the language barrier is smaller
Other than that not much to say, the Master students and below are either shy or private, and always extremely polite. Most of them understand English but none of them so far speak it fluently.

I blame crossboarders and such for that. Between /vt/ and /vg/ there's a whole lot of dickwaving going on. The last thread I tried to post a lot of the pictures of the circles booths and some cosplays.

>>42205332
For me, I don't really care about Day 1 since predominantly it's focused on VTubers and such by the circles I follow. I really can't exert much enthusiasm at all even though most of my favorite artists have converted to drawing them almost exclusively. Also, this time around I'm more focused on just getting the stuff I want so I don't miss out.

Now for Day 2, most of the circles I follow are pretty varied in terms of content.

Maybe with Corona likely to be finally reclassified on the same level as the flu early next year in Japan, Comiket won't be limited to 2 days, because a good chunk of the artists I follow didn't participate.

Day 2 looks so empty
>But the porn
There was hardcore loli porn and rape shit in Day 1, so the porn is not the big attraction here.
And Day 1 had the current stars such a Bocchi's author and Lycoreco's character designer.
But since mobage stuff and vtubers are not there but 2hu, guess oldfags will take day 2 over 1.

I wonder if people were equally upset with 2hu half way taking over cket for a long while the same way people are upset about chuubas and gachashit doing so now.
It does make me kinda sad when I see artists I followed for 2hu stuff switch to chuubas, even though I also enjoy chuubas.

Were there any properties before 2hu that had a disproportionately large showing at Comiket? My knowledge of earlier Comikets is pretty weak, so I can only guess something like Vocaloids or Fate might have experienced similar.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42207858
My knowledge of older cket is also lacking since I only got into weebshit around 2008/2009. Touhou has been around longer than both though. Windows 2hu started with EOSD in 2002, and I know some of the older well known music circles have been around since 2003 or 2004, such as Beatmario's circle COOL&CREATE. Not sure if it the PC98 games amassed a noticeable following, and am not sure of a good way to check.
I think Vocaloid took off mostly with Vocaloid2 in 2007.
Fate/Stay Night was 2004 and, once again, I have no idea when it hit its boom, but I can't imagine it was until F/GO.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42207858
Touhou is way older than both Fate and Vocaloid. Touhou was first released in 1996.

And no, I'm pretty sure there isn't a series like that before Touhou. Touhou still also holds the most insane powergap between circles in series. I remember Touhou back then having something like 4000 circles and second place having something like 800.

>I wonder if people were equally upset with 2hu half way taking over cket
Yes, oh yes people were angry. Touhou was seen as the annoying new trend for casuals by lots of comike goers back when it first got popular.
>>42207858
>Were there any properties before 2hu that had a disproportionately large showing at Comiket?
Yes, typemoon. Also leaf/key I believe, although by the time I started going to comike that had already shrunk to like half a hall so I'm not sure if it ever dominated the whole event, but the existence of a dedicated genre code and 2ch board makes me think it did.
>>42208126
Yes but Touhou wasn't popular until after EoSD, it started gaining popularity just before niconico blew up.

I think its not that far behind, maybe somewhere between 2010 ~ 2013.

Yet, not so many franchises got the regularity level Touhou does had all over these years, and even so, it has its very own event to go full crazy.

(I mean, EoSD just became 20 years old, and the earliest fanmade stuff i found its AT LEAST from 2003, i think its impossible to found any other fanbase older on Comiket without being anything made by CLAMP)

How was it this year? Thinking of going next Comiket, but the 2 days instead of 3 is putting me off. Used to go for porn, but these days more for janky indie games and passion projects in esoteric topics, the kind of stuff that I'd expect to be first cut.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42212103
I only started putting it together after day 1 once I experienced firsthand how important planning a route is (first time), and scuffed as it was I'm glad I did. Every circle I was interested in had stock when I got to them (except ke-ta, but I expected as much), despite having an international entry time slot. If I ever go again in future I'll probably do some more research beforehand on more circles (going to just the ones I knew about left me with a lot of free time spent wandering), as well as what I specifically plan to buy from each group if they've posted a catalogue beforehand.
Overall though, pretty great experience.

Not having the good old pre-covid Day 1 to commit to just Corporate booths because it was always BL day really fucking sucks. My circles were evenly spread among day 1 and 2 so I didn't have time.
Also, I miss lining up at 5am. 11am entry really fucking sucks and I missed a bunch of shit before even walking into the building. I probably won't do comiket again until they do away with the tickets, or at least let gaijin buy the early ones.

They also sell storage cases, which I purchase each event. Also, I prefer bags instead of sleeves, you have to tape the bag to seal it but imo it preserves the doujinshi even better.

so some other anon was talking about it, if its just regular porn and not loli stuff the best bet is is to just tastefully leave them in a mid layer of your stuff.
If its loli stuff it'd be best to just ship it to your home or a P.O box depending on the nation you live.
If you're American theres a decent chance that people wouldn't care as its not a crime but shipping it would still be your best best as the TSA will likely bust your ass if they see it but not a single state actually bans loli content so its not really a problem unless your state has obscenity laws.
If you're a Euro or something then 100% ship it and hope customs doesn't surprise inspect it.
