Ordering person here:
Everything except 「東方バイオリンロック風-KAZE-」 and 「Splarrange!」 have been ordered. Due to a transfer that I cannot due over Christmas, I cannot make any more orders for a few days, but I can note things down. I might be getting a tad more selective from here on out.
Just remembered about comiket being next week.
Gonna make this my first one, got the week off work anyway so may as well go along.
Time to start looking up what is when and where.
Is pic related coming to comiket?
What are your top priorities for each day?
Day 1 - 東シ15a モーモー・スシ・ギャバン (Sushio)
Day 2 - 東Ａ47a カハッ本部 (Kujou Ichiso)
Day 3 - 東Ａ60b セメタリーヒルズ (Imaishi and others)
Can't wait for A-ONE and ALST. Hopefully it wont be another POP-CULTURE this time.
>>14528400
Day 1 - August booth + waiting for 無料配布.
Day 2 and 3 - to be decided.
>>14528274
Yes.
Damn, this new sound holic album sounds awesome.
http://www.sound-holic.com/mp3/SDHC_CF_Demo55.mp3
Also why hasn't Shibayan announced anything yet? Been waiting since the start of the month.
>>14528266
I mean, if you have nothing in mind, I would recommend just taking requests from people who can only order online.
This is, of course, a very self-interested advice.
I'm ready for the new

Maybe he isn't releasing anything this time? I know he always waited till the last moment but the event is next week, so.
>>14529842
I know you can order a semi-large (~300) order of CDs to be pressed and they would arrive within 5 days, he still has time.

What proxy service is that?

I seriously hope this gets scanned.

In addition to his new Sakuya book Yassy drew a chapter for this >>14528274 as well.

All c88 shit?
Why does Sally keeps making remixes from their past albums? C89 release gonna be a Less remix album
>>14529980
Holy fuck yes.
Commencing No Fap.
So, what happened with Autumn Reitaisai and Kouroumu 11 uploads?, almost nothing got uploaded. Even DoujinStyle threads have a single page.
What the fuck, is touhou really reclining?
I hope we get a lot of uploads this Comiket.
I remember a few years ago, almost 100% of stuff would get uploaded the first and second day.
>>14530268
>What the fuck, is touhou really reclining?
Why would you think that?
There was tons of stuff at Reitaisai/Shuuki Reitaisai and Kouroumu this year, probably even more than usual; it's just that none of it ended up getting uploaded.
>I remember a few years ago, almost 100% of stuff would get uploaded the first and second day.
Times change. People don't upload anything anymore.
>>14530268
The Western fandom is reclining
yo anybody else flying in to narita sunday afternoon?
>>14530302
Yeah, I think this is the problem. The western uploaders are drying out.
>>14530337
people seem to have gotten jobs and real life stuff
horrifying stuff reallly
>>14530359
>people seem to have gotten jobs and real life stuff
They may as well be dead at that point.
>>14530268
>What the fuck, is touhou really reclining?
It's the Western fanbase that is dying.
If anything Touhou is technically expanding even more.
Problem is nobody is ever uploading anything anymore except the Chinese who have virtually everything. They like to hoard everything to themselves and on the worst possible storage possible and Chinese connections are configured to flip off all foreigners.
We are basically completely reliant on the few generous anon samaritans amongst us who attend the events in person.
>>14530337
>>14530359
I am doing my part, but I can only spend a few hundred every Comiket.
Like last threads I am still taking requests for this Comiket, provided you have a link to buy it.
>>14529963
http://goodyjapan.sakura.ne.jp
>>14530385
How to fix? can we throw nuclear bombs on China?
>>14530389
that seems heavily counterproductive honestly
>>14530386
But you don't buy any porn, so what's the point.
That's like going to a bar and only ordering water.
>>14530389
...most raws come from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and increasingly the mainland.
The Touhou Lossless Collection is largely run by Chinese users.
Why is the western fanbase dead?
>>14530426
Pornography doesn't support the fanbase.
>>14530445
It supports my dick though.
>>14530451
more like your dick supports pornography
>>14530385
The fucking chinks will even upload their translations and refuse to share the raw.
Fucking ching chongs.
I'll join the Uploader army next year if I manage to land a job.
>POP CULTURE 5
Please just let it die, Alstroemeria.
>>14530519
What was the last good Als album? All I could remember from recently was Rebirth Dancehall and Double Counterpoint.
Pop Culture 2 was good, that's the last one I bothered to keep.
Who's coming to the big saw afterward for some awkward staring at each other?
Is Hatsunemiko's going to be at Comiket?
>>14530554
http://hatsunetsumikos.net/
They will apparently. Their album isn't up on VGMDB's C89 page though.
>>14530565
>LoLK
Oh shit, I am curious what they put out
I only hope for less engrish but Tim Vegas fucking great when it comes to arrangement
>>14530498
>The fucking chinks will even upload their translations and refuse to share the raw.
That is usually out of respect of the creator.
Westerners have no such respect, and are much more likely to just sit on raws untranslated.
>>14530554
Yup
http://hatsunetsumikos.net/flcd/
>>14530426
In my experience ordering H-doujinshi during a comiket, chances are it may just be scanned anyway while you're waiting for it to be shipped overseas.
>>14530639
In my experience there will be zero scans of any H-doujinshi as always.
>>14530696
Where the hell do you search for doujinshi?
I mean, really, the amount of H-doujinshi which is uploaded on Sad Panda daily is more than enough to keep me going for a month. I can burn through 10+ doujinshi in a fap session, and I still have not ran out of material in years.
Unless you are into some really niche shit, I think you might just be looking in the wrong place.
Its the safe-for-work doujinshi which is always skipped over, because a large amount of people just like doujinshi for the sake of fap material.
>>14530755
>I mean, really, the amount of H-doujinshi which is uploaded on Sad Panda daily
It's mostly shit though.
Nothing good ever gets uploaded.
Why is this artist so God-like, /jp/?
http://exhentai.org/g/882213/9ea117cd41/
It's like, there are tens of thosands of artists in Japan, lots of them with amazing art, but he's the only one that doesn't hold back and has reached such a high level.
Words cannot describe how supreme master Akuten's works are.
Being able to meet him one day is my greatest dream.
>>14530850
Fine, post some links of some not-shit which hasn't been scanned for which you have been waiting. I might buy it.
>>14530975
There's literally thousands of those.
There's so many chances are if you buy something at random, it will be something not-shit which hasn't been scanned, for which I have been waiting.
I'm talking about Touhou H-doujinshi of course, just to clarify.
>>14527835
How does Age of Ethanols compare to say Brood War or The Frozen Throne?
>>14531007
>There's literally thousands of those.
There is a 3,000 character limit. Considering that I have bought 90% of the stuff requested in these threads already, there is no reason not to post any. Like pic related (currently in my scanning queue).
Otherwise, don't complain.
>>14531066
not that guy but here take this
the hype is unbelievable
>>14531090
Then there's no point in buying it because like he said,
>ordering H-doujinshi during a comiket, chances are it may just be scanned anyway while you're waiting for it to be shipped overseas
And he's right.
>>14530975
This exactly. People rarely provide links/requests beforehand and just bitch and moan after the event is long over. If somebody wants their niche shit which nobody else on the fucking planet cares about (otherwise it would get scanned) then do something about it. There are people in this thread willing to try and help you out if you take the time to provide information before the goddamn event so we aren't trolling around Tokyo trying to locate your crap.
I just end up buying the stuff that interests me since I ask every time and nobody says jack shit - just random crap like, "get stuff nobody scans." How the fuck am I supposed to know what is and isn't going to get scanned? Each event I end up scanning and uploading about 5-10 books because I notice that nobody bothered to scan them in the weeks following comiket, but that is completely random.
>>14531108
Eh he's mostly right
the only things I've ever bought were music CDs that hadn't been uploaded
>>14531090
>>14531108
Furthermore, it is not available for online sale.
So yeah.
>>14531151
I marked it on the web catalog so I'll stop by that booth when I have a chance and see whats available. If the line is out the building then I am likely going to have to skip it though.
>>14531112
>People rarely provide links/requests beforehand and just bitch and moan after the event is long over.
Everytime someone says they'll scan something if you post a link, they end up saying they won't do it after you do.
Because, no porn/loli/guro/ryona/this fetish/that fetish/this series/this character/this artist.
>>14530639 is right about buying new h-stuff during the event though.
Some portion of it will get scanned and there's usually no way of telling what, unless it's a well known circle.
So you might be buying something that's already getting scanned, which is kinda a waste of resources if you don't care about owning the physical copy.
All the other big name artist's books are probaly gonna end up getting scanned as usual, so I don't worry about those, but other that that this one is probably the one I'm looking forward the most from this Comike,
https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=145580
I have absolutely no idea how likely it is that this is gonna get scanned though.
Might be very likely, or it might not.
Other than that,
https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=145716
This one has probably zero chances, just like all the other 20+ Suika works (which this is a compilation of) from this artist.
And then there's Kogarona vol.3
https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=145058
which just like the previous two volumes has no chance of getting scanned.
>>14531175
Like I said here >>14531163, if you want something and provide info, I will try. If the line is crazy, item(s) sold out, or something like that then sorry but that stuff happens. If I can grab the stuff easily then I will get it and scan it. If the book is 100+ pages then don't expect it to get scanned the next day or anything though - it will take a while and will not be my top priority in terms of what gets scanned first.
I usually provide pics of the junk I bought each day so people can chime in and let me know if they are really interested in something getting scanned or not. If there is no interest then I won't waste time scanning it unless I really have a strong feeling that it will be appreciated.
>>14531228
>All the other big name artist's books are probaly gonna end up getting scanned as usual, so I don't worry about those
Not always true. There have been plenty of times when I got home, waited weeks, and never saw some of the stuff I got from some fairly popular artists get scanned and uploaded. In most of those cases I scanned the book myself and uploaded it unless providing a proper scan meant destroying the book. There was only one case where I went out of my way to buy an extra just for scanning purposes.
>>14530975
>>14531066
>>14531112
This is kind of a long shot, but would you or someone else be willing to buy a Touhou ero doujinshi from an online auction?
>>14530385
>We are basically completely reliant on the few generous anon samaritans amongst us
>ever sharing with thankless mongrels
even the chinks have better manners than /jp/
>>14531342
Hence why only a few doujinshi scanners interact directly with /jp/
>>14531296
I dunno about an auction but if you provide details I can look for it around town. What price range are we talking about here?
>>14531342
>uploading shit to the internet expecting gratitude.
do you even anon, nigger?
>>14530090
no it shows the C89 stuff on the right. The video on the left is still the C88 stuff. Reading comprehension!
Any European anons willing to be a third party for me?
>>14531954
Of course I'm paying you for the trouble just to make it clear.
>>14531291
Hi, I'm the guy who a while ago scanned 4-5 happiness milk doujins. So I wanted to ask if you would check out their booth at し-11a.
Judging by http://happinessmilk.x.fc2.com/happinessmilk.html they will have quite a few this time aswell. Next to those 2 new ones, the older Sanae/Suwako one and Episode of religious faith 2 and 3 haven't been scanned. Don't expect you to buy all 5 of them just for me, that would be unreasonably much. But I offer to edit if you scan some, thats the least I can do. Just contact me at https://autismscans.wordpress.com/
I appreciate your willingness to buy stuff for us, but you should generally buy what you enjoy and I'm sure other people will enjoy those books aswell. Since my internet at my parents is very slow I might not be able to check out what else gets released, but I think I saw a few artists on sadpanda recently that have only very few books uploaded and that look promising. So I might ask if you can check out a few more booths.
Have a nice comiket, potentially /jp/ meetup and new year anon.
>Use Noppin as a Proxy
>Been worried about finances lately, so wasn't sure if I'd order anything for C89
>Get enough money for Christmas to order a few choice doujins
>Go to order only to find that Noppin has gone offline until January 4
Well. Fuck. Now I'm dreading that by that time, the doujins I want will all be sold out...
>>14531463
>look for it around town
It's an older book, I really doubt you'll be able to find it at a store anywhere, this is probably the only chance at getting it.
>What price range are we talking about here?
It's two books actually, both no more than 500 yen.
>>14528274
Is this comiket limited or not? If not I could buy it.
>>14532294
You mean, if it's sold in stores?
Yeah >>14531228
>https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=145580
>>14530975
Anything by irotoridori. Nothing he makes ever gets scanned which is a fucking travesty.
>>14532274
Provide the book titles/circle/something. Some of the bigger stores in Tokyo have fairly large used/old doujin sections so don't write them off unless this circle is so small that nobody has heard of them.
>>14532392
I actually realized there's an easier way of obtaining one of the books, so that just leaves the other one.
Can be bought really cheap at this auction, 280yen
http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/w119942427
Otherwise stores like suruga-ya want 1500+ yen for it.
I have no idea what the fuck to even want from this comiket, so I'll just smile in a dumb way how good Touhou Empire looks like.
hey guys just asking
do you think i can convince a author to sell me all his catalogue digitally ? (i already buys those who availableon dlmellonbooks )
>>14532484
Which artist?
>>14532490
imizu
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=243408
>>14532481
I don't know about good looking but at least it looks fun.
What are the current music trends? Is it still all disco shit and wubstep?
So are any anons going to be grabbing Touhou Bakuon Jazz 9 from Tokyo Active NEET's?
http://vgmdb.net/album/56040
Always seems like no good lossless rips ever go up of their stuff even though they're one of the better known groups.
>>14532503
I'd say it's worth a try.
Some Anon said he got a few artists to put their works on DL store.
Although he might not have them in digital format anymore.
>>14532542
thanks now i got to find is a good moon speaker
This one's gonna be good.
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=54184812
Probably no chance of getting scanned either.
>>14532510
What circles/artists do you listen to?
Same anon who bought music CDs back in M3-36, C88, and Reitaisai fall threads.
I'll be buying music CDs again then just wait for requests what needs to be upped from what I will buy.
>>14532590
Can you get
>WARNING×WARNING×WARNING -to the beginning 05-

https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=146482
>>14530196
There's a new Tokyo Jihen album you pleb.
But I do want another Less-tier album though.
>>14532620
It's going to get uploaded like every event. Request for CDs with lesser chances.
I for one request UI-70. I had to buy and upload two albums before since they were never uploaded for a year, despite how popular the circle is.
>>14532590
Sorry to seem annoying but you have a list of the M3-36/Reitaisei stuff you own? Slightly curious if there is anything I'm interested in I missed since not a lot of M3/Reitaisei stuff were ripped that I could find.
New GoldFish soon?
>>14532590
Is it possible to request stuff that didn't get uploaded from M3-36?
Maple Doll from Maple Sugar and Pumpkin Panic EP from pichnopop, please.
Everything I want from C89 is probably going to get uploaded anyway.
I'm not really taking requests to buy music CDs since I already have a shopping list.
>>14532779
Not much but this is what I got so far.
>>14532620
Not in my list as I'm partial to vocals.
>>14532757
UI-70 is in already my list.
>>14532986
I don't have that but Pumpkin Panic caught my attention. Will the group participating this Comiket?
>>14533498
Ah you have to DDBY from kouroumu 11? I was thinking I'd have to order that myself.
Have you uploaded it anywhere?
>>14533498
as >>14532986
Pichopop's coming out with Colorful Palette and Happynation #03 at C89, so yes.
>C89
Come on, use C++.
>>14533511
Not yet. I'm also planning to grab the next DDBY too.
>>14533513
What booth?
>>14533536
That joke might have been funny the first 80 Comikets.
>>14533569
It probably wouldn't have made sense, since 89 is the first number that would actually produce a C standard.
>>14533545
東 "A"-73b from their website
>You will never have a fun comiket with a bunch of twink jp qts, go home at the end of the last day and fuck each others boipussies
Probably too late with this, but any good proxiesthat can do porn too? My usual one isn't going to this Comiket.
>>14531018
Take a look at Age of Empires 2, and you will know. It's a direct clone. Imagine every faction tiers up like Zerg/Frozen Throne. Except you have more than two resource types that aren't necessarily next to each other.
Is there any Yukacco coming out?
what does it mean /jp/ ?

Random letters make great titles for music. All ``real'' words, in any context that makes sense, are already taken.

So if I wanted to just explore around as an EOP with nothing specific to buy, is there anything I need to know. Any particular areas worth checking out?
Is 07th Expansion doing anything this year? Its the only thing other than Cosplayers I would be interested in attending for.
Also any general 4chan meetups planned? I am already in Tokyo.
>>14533498
Is Min. Electric Design's Trail II a new album or compilation of their previous album?
>>14533691
Alright, I'll swing by on the 3rd day on their booth.
>>14535422
Just a compilation. They'll also have a booth this Comiket so I might as well as ask them when's their next album.
>>14535356
>is there anything I need to know
It's a bad idea.
>>14535356
go in the afternoon, 1pm or after and stay out of people's way. maybe check out the corporate section but otherwise there's not much to 'check out' besides cosplayers
>>14535774
Are the corporate sections in a certain hall? And cosplayers are just outside I'm assuming?
>>14535796
yes the corporate area will be divided into a different hall. the cosplayers gather during certain times for photoshoots at specific locations. there aren't many casually strolling around like in western cons
>>14533498
>I'm not really taking requests to buy music CDs since I already have a shopping list.

Lost at poor shinyoumaru running from the tide.
Ghost9 Solid looks like somebody's been watching gakkou gurashi, and with that complete release we might finally get a dl for ghost92.

>>14534744
I've used Treasure Japan multiple times to proxy eromanga and doujins. No problems at all.
>>14536308
It is. あ-22 is already marked in my map. I'd be buying their stuff anyway even though their works gets upped pretty fast.
Can someone confirm me if Oyari Ashito is in 東シ46a?

>We might finally get a dl for ghost92.
Finally.
Seems like G9 Complete will be on TnA/MB after. I'm definitely getting a copy (too bad the demo is event-only).
From the full art of Ghost9 Complete's cover, I take is that this is a definitive representation of what Sunou Ayumu (Snort) looks like.
>Gotta beat hacker9 first though, fuck I love this stupid ass trudge of a game
Good luck.
I hope Wahiko finishes Hekatoncheir in time for the next comiket.

Which leads me to ask: do people like Quizilax show up at conventions?
Like, once you make a doujinshi like Geiger Counter, I feel like someone might not take it very well, and not as much for the loli rape as for the trivialization of the 2013 Tsunami and TEPCO for that specific purpose.
>>14537257
I wish some /jp/sie who's going there would take a few pics of these big name artists for us.
I've always wondered how they look like.
>do people like Quizilax show up at conventions?
Why wouldn't he? I mean, I don't know if he's going to be there this time, but usually, yeah.
But that's pretty much what I'm talking about, just quickly snap a photo and show us.
>Like, once you make a doujinshi like Geiger Counter, I feel like someone might not take it very well
Japan isn't some third world feminist run shithole like the US or Europe, dude.
Artists are free to draw whatever they want.
>>14537553
I don't think muh dick will be able to handle the close proximity.
>>14537584
I'd love to shake their hands and take a picture with them but I don't know the japanese protocol for it.
>>14537591
Hand shakes are fine but taking photos inside the building is generally frowned upon.
You can take one stealthily from a distance though and they won't even know it.
Do it for us, Anon!
>>14537584
You'd have to ask them for permission to take a pic of them, otherwise it is considered extremely rude. They typically only take pictures with people they know or maybe another artist because they know that the moment they let a random person take their pic then everybody in the area will want one too, which only slows down the lines and creates more congestion.
>>14537584
>Japan isn't some third world feminist run shithole like the US or Europe, dude.
I always hear that, but I must ask:
Why is it that Feminism is not popular among females in the East, to the extent that it is in the West?
Or am I making an incorrect assumption that Feminism isn't popular in the East among females?
>>14537659
>considered extremely rude
Who cares.
It's not like anyone there knows you or will remember you, just do it.
>>14537702
Because Eastern women are generally more intelligent, and interested in getting important shit done rather than laying around and bitching and moaning all day.
How do I get stuff that's being sold there, without being there, or in Japan?
>>14537727
Is this your first day on /jp/?
>>14537726
Unless you also argue the Eastern men are more intelligent and interesting in getting important shit done, I won't buy that. Intelligence should be expressed regardless of gender, unless Eastern society simultaneously retards males towards the Western standard, or Western society places men on similar intelligence to men of Eastern society.
>>14537715
And this is why the doujin community doesn't fucking like foreigners
Exactly this.
>>14537715
You must be amerishit. I bet you piss on the fish on the fish market too.
>>14537727
mail order if it's available.
Shipping's expensive and what you want will probably be scanned already by the time it gets here in like a month but still worth it if you want a hard copy of something.
>>14537737
>Eastern men are more intelligent and interesting in getting important shit done
There's a little bit of this too, but it's mostly that Western culture seems to make women in particular retarded.

They figured this shit out nearly two millennia ago: everyone gets along if you all play by the same rules. If you are in their field playing their game, you play by their rules. If you don't know their rules, learn them or stay home.
Yeah sure, you are not breaking any laws, but if you only obey the law and not a single inconvenience more, that actual barbarism.
>>14537584
They look like normal Japanese I guess. Can't remember very well because the amount of people made me dizzy.
>>14537786
Details, please.
What does Fatalpulse look like?
>>14537727
Some of it is available at Toranoana or Melonbooks.
>>14537584
>Why wouldn't he?
Some artists don't go in person but have a friend or whoever stand in and sell for them.
>>14537794
which would mean that the person >>14537786
saw could have been anybody really
>>14537794
I saw him once. He looked a bit like dracula, but with rape tentacles, and he also held a magic wand in one hand.
>>14537815
>Some artists don't go in person but have a friend or whoever stand in and sell for them.
Isn't that usually only if they don't get the spot for themselves in the lottery?
>>14537824
Damn! I figured it'd be something like that.
I gotta meet him myself one day.
>>14537815
That's true. Most circles have multiple people helping.
How are battle preparations going? Just finished my maps and only got 16 items I am interested in 3 of them I consider must buy.. so it'll be a relaxed experience I hope.
I'd offer to look for stuff for people who can't attend, but I have no access to a scanner, so that is a moot point.
>>14537847
I am going in blind. I plan to hit up the studios mainly, get some nice merch then bounce until people start congregating at the saw.
>>14537828
Depends. Some may be busy with work and can't spend a whole day standing around selling doujins. Others may be spending time with family - new years is a huge deal here with a lot of people traveling across the country to be with family. I've seen a few others that only hang around for short periods of time because they don't want to be a distraction and want to go around to shoot the shit with other artists or friends.
If you take a look at some of their twitter feeds you'll see that they actually go around buying stuff. I've also seen them go to another artist's table and exchange stuff or even get books for free. Some of the younger/lesser known artists really look up to the bigger/older guys and are more than happy to have them take one of their books home.
Are the following artists releasing anything new
- kamome sano
- camellia
- calla soiled
Man I hope someone rips this album. The crossfade was really good, and it has an up-and-coming new artist that I know on it
>>14537978
yea
>>14537584
While I didn't have a chance to observe such doujinshi artists yet, I attended some eroge events and I can tell you everyone looks like a normal person.
>>14537978
yes

>>14538044

Cametek Crystallized, CTCD-012.
Don't know about the other two.
>>14538120
Merci beaucoup
>>14538183
Is that ZUN, Hiro, and Aniki sharing a toast?
That is pretty much the best picture ever.
What's ZUN doing this comiket?
tutti sound where
>>14538183
Zun left moot for Hiro?!
Or is it moot who left Zun?

dont you get new years off? must sucks not to work in a games company...
So, comming from Akiba, I figure my best bet to get there by train would be Yamanote till Shimbashi and from there qith the Yurikamome till Kokusai-Tenjijo-Seimon. Are there any faster ways?
>>14538802
Yurikamome doesn't seat many people per train so I dunno if you'd have to wait a while to get on board or what - never bothered myself. I always just take the Rinkai line but you'll need to get on at a station back a few stops if you actually want a chance to get on the earlier ones. If you are getting on past Osaki then good luck.
Hyperdia says Akiba to Kokusai-Tenjijo-Seimon is 37 minutes via the route you're planning at 7am tomorrow.. There are a few 29/30 minute routes to Kokusai-Tenjijo but there are more transfers involved so who knows if those routes are slower.
Anyone know where I can find UtAGe's Circle of the Far East album or would be kind enough to upload their copy for me? DS only has あの街の時計台-birthday and I can't find it anywhere. It's catalog number is UTGE-02010 and was released at Reitaisai 8 and I don't think the spreadsheet for that exists anymore.
>>14538914
I'll see how it goes tomorrow. Won't be super early seeing there isn't much interesting on day 1 for me. Still thanks for the advice!
Does anyone know where decent parking is to get to the center by foot? Riding the train from my hotel is going to be retarded compared to driving.
>>14539251
http://www.bigsight.jp/english/hotel/parking/
Looks like ¥2,000 and below for all day rates, but no clue how quickly/what time these areas fill up. Also you're going to be fighting with Tokyo rush hour traffic in the morning unless you leave exceptionally early, so keep that in mind. If there is an accident or something then you could be stuck for hours.
>>14539251
What part of town are you staying in?
>>14539311
So my choices are, round trip (to and from)
Train
>up to ¥1400
>up to 80 minutes
>get mobbed by crowds but most guaranteed travel time
Car
>up to ¥2000
>up to 30 minutes
>travel time not guaranteed nor is parking but if done right can be the most convenient and leisurely way
I read somewhere that parking isn't allowed for Comiket because of how difficult parking is to get, but I'm not sure if that holds true.
>>14539337
Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku
>>14539344
I'm in the exact same area - the New Sanno hotel. Taking the Hibiya line at Hiro-o to Ebisu, then getting on the Saikyo line there will take you all the way to Kokusai-Tenjijo in about 25-30 min. The train stops at Osaki at which pint it becomes the Rinkai line and goes all the way through to our destination. Again the train is fairly crowded especially earlier in the day, but not so bad as people think. Cost is also ¥ 660 one way.
When coming back you can go the "wrong way" towards Shin Kiba and get off at the next stop which is Shinonome and switch tracks. The train is basically empty before it gets to Kokusai-Tenjijo, so you can guarantee yourself a seat this way by spending an extra 5-7 minutes going in the other direction to get one station down the line. I usually have a lot of junk to carry around by the end of the day so it is much more comfortable being able to just sit there for 20+ minutes rather than having to stand.
>>14539446
Oh that's cool. I'm staying there too. What time do you leave from the hotel, maybe we could hang out on the train
Is it even worth to visit the east halls on the first day? It's all gay shit + some Chino doujins of not too great art quality.
W-where's the big saw?
>>14539512
I'll probably leave around 6:30 to catch the 6:49 train at Hiro-o. That will put me at Kokusai-Tenjijo by 7:20, which should be early enough I think.
Where are the corporate booths tomorrow? I'm having trouble finding them in the catalog.
>>14539598
It is on the main street level and easily visible as you enter the area by going up the long stairway in the front (off to the right if you're going up the stairs).
>>14539627
In the separate corporate booth catalog.
>>14539627
Here is the tab on the catalog. They're always located in the same place every day each event - West Halls 3-4. They are on the second floor of the west hall, which is the area to the "right" once you enter. Once you get into the main courtyard (if entering from the main area instead of the back parking lot) the line splits - one direction goes into the main hall where it will split again - one line goes to lower West Halls and the other goes through the corridor to that leads to the East halls. The other split outside goes "right" and leads up another flight of stairs on the outside of the building to the second floor of the West Hall area. You will immediately see a ton of lines already formed for the various corporate booths. The person/employee at the end of the line will usually have a large sign designating which booth that line is for, and usually a listing (with pictures) of what is for sale if anything. They periodically update this display to show what items are sold out or unavailable throughout the day, so pay attention to that so you don't end up in line for something that you can't get.
>>14539595
That depends entirely on what you're interested in, but there is stuff other than "gay shit" in the East Halls on day 1. Here are some of the circles I'll try to hit on day 1 East Halls - mostly animators and a few artists.
東シ15a - すしお
東シ15b - アニメチックシェーダー
東シ20a - 竹内プロデュース
東シ20b - とれーすぺいんと
東シ29a - 5年目の放課後
東ス08b - ごっきー倶楽部
東ヒ07a - 坂の上のアパートメント
>>14539662
Uuu, Kantoku. Yeah, I guess I could go check out him.
Just woke up, holy shit this fuck everything up. I still plan on going, even if staying up all night.
So many people going this year.
Usually there aren't that many of you.
>>14539679
Get there really early and take a nap while waiting in line.
>>14539694
I don't feel like freezing my ass off. I will just go around 9AM.
Will company booths have enough stock to last all day?
>>14539726
Grab the trap doujins while they're in stock!
>>14539728
I'm asking about commercial booths. I want the August set and I'm wondering when should I arrive,
>$140 for 6 books and 2 CDs before even getting into proxy and shipping fees
How much are you spending /jp/?
>>14539731
Some booths will, but the more popular ones will absolutely not have enough. The hot items are usually gone by noon or 1pm, but in some cases they may restock them each day, or maybe on the third day - don't count on it though, many of them simply sell out and its all gone forever. For example, one of the booths ran out of their big item in 30 minutes last year, and only got 10 more the next day. That is sort of an extreme case, but it illustrates how some of these guys have no intention of bringing enough stock to satisfy even a fraction of the customers here.
August usually has a very long line that stays packed until they start running out of stuff, which is pretty fast. Get there as early as you can in order to be sure you don't waste half the day waiting in line for something that vanishes before you can get it.
>>14539772
No idea, I have not planned for this Comiket at all. I am going to the corporate booths mainly.
>>14539775
Well, I guess I'll take 始発.
>>14539772
Through all three days? Probably close to ¥200,000 ($1650).
Reminder.
>>14539772
roughly 60$ for around 6 cds, will most likely be around 120 after all fee's/shipping included.
I spent around 700 on an event last month so i didnt go all out on c89
>>14539835
Has anyone form /jp/ actually managed to get with a qt jap cosplayer at comiket?
It seems something that most of us here won't really need to worry about.
Is there anything particularly interesting on the first day? It seems to be mostly BL. I'm planning on going to those "corporate" booths and take pictures of cosplayers but am worried I'll be missing something in the artist booths.
>>14539856
Do you have something you specifically plan on getting in corporate booths?
When is the meeting at the big saw usually?
>>14539859
Not exactly, I'm not even sure what to expect. I assume shaft would be selling their key animation books so I might get those
>>14539870
Shaft has a booth?
Also there'll be crazy lines and popular stuff will sell out fast.
>>14539875
Sorry, that's only my assumption from what my friend told me.
>>14539878
It's possible Shaft will be sold at some of the shop booths.
What corporate booths will there be?
I'm going to day 1 and 2 just for the meetup because there is literally nothing I want. Also day 3 has all my shit lined up in the same row this year... it's going to be a boring comiket.
>>14539889
Try looking it up in the catalog.
Sorry for the dumb question but is there a way to search by series on the comike web catalog?
Like if I wanted to see only books of コードギアス 亡国のアキト, would it bring up a list of people selling those?
The buttons on the site are all images so I can't google translate them
>>14539924
If you can read the site, how would you be able to read the doujins?
>>14539924
No, unless it's something stupid popular it's a genre (touhou/kantai)
>>14538802
>>14538914
I've once taken one of the earlier Yurikamome. It wasn't as crowded as I expected it to be.
What is the best station for the east halls?
>>14539928
With a great degree of difficulty
>>14539902
Are corporate booths going to be the same all 3 days? Can't make day 1 unfortunately.
>>14539772
Usually about 10.000 JPY.
>>14539964
Yes. Some just have different 配布 items or times depending on the day.
>>14539928
I don't need Japanese to understand them. It's porn.
>>14539946
It doesn't really matter. It's the same distance for all stations.
>>14539893
Same, I'll see you there fellow permavirg.
I'll be the guy Desperately trying to pick up the one femanon there because he hates his Jap gf
Fuck me not being able to sleep. At this rate I'll have to go without any sleep at all.
>>14540036
I'll take your jap gf then. What is wrong with her?
>>14540218
Went once without sleeping. It was one of the worst days of my life, I was hungry yet felt like I was going to vomit. Luckily it was on day 2, since everything I wanted was sold on day 3.
where do you line up to get to the company booths first in the morning?
>>14540531
At the west halls.
>>14540536
yeah but where exactly? Do I line up directly in front of the building with the large set of stairs?
>>14540560
Yes. If you go early there are two lines. One in front of the west halls, and one on a parking lot next to the east halls. On your way from one of the stations you'll find signs guiding you to the line of the east halls or west halls. Later on they close the entrance to the east halls.
>>14539870
>>14539875
Shaft does not have a dedicated booth this time around. I guess they're busy with their Madogatari thing or whatever.
>>14540618
>Madogatari
they did what now
i havent been keeping up with anime
Well shit, it looks like Doujincore is down. I wasn't too sure what to do with the order form anyway, do I just copy/paste it into an email and send it off to the webmaster? But the site is down so I can't get to the form.
But are there any other import services who go to events who would take an order this late? I didn't even realize we were this close to Comiket until yesterday. Unless there is someone here who would be okay with buying a cd for me, but I'm sort of scared of someone taking my money and running with it.
>>14539861
15:00 I think
