Took me ages just to sort out the photos! Going to separate the Comike 71 coverage into a few posts...
- C71 - Enterprise booths (Today)
- C71 - Doujinshi (Tomorrow)
- C71 - Crowds (Day after tomorrow)
There are over a hundred photos in this post so you may want to get a cuppa tea while waiting for it to load. A bug in IE causes long pages to freeze up and blur - If you cant stand that, then you may want to use
Firefox instead. Firefox also obeys CSS standards and you will see the site as I meant it to be seen. While I do my best to make CSS look decent in IE, I've given up wasting my time implementing CSS hacks just for that browser. If you still have problems viewing this post, let me know and I will write some code to split posts into two pages.
The queue just to get in to Comike must have went around Tokyo Big Site several times. Apparently, It takes people at the end of the queue a few hours to get in after the doors open. Was handed my press kit after waiting about 10 mins ( quite a few press folks on the day ) and went straight in to find something that resembled an incredibly busy airport. I dont think I've ever seen so many people at Big Site like this before.
So far I've brought you coverage of Cosplay, Anime, Games, Figures, Idols and this report completes the missing piece of mainstream Otaku culture in Japan -
Doujinshi and
Eroge. Many of you will go "Coolio! Me want!" whilst some of you may go "OMGWTF?!"
"Comike" is a term short for "Comic Market" and is *mainly* made up of anime oriented erotic games and magazines. Today we are going to look at the Enterprise booths - the big companies who are there to show you what new adult PC games they have for you to spend your money on.
This report is being brought to you by
Akihabara News and dannychoo.com
The only thing I bought was a clock of Miyako Miyamura from the PC game
ef - a fairy tale of two which cost
600 yen. The rest I received from folk who I knew including
Amazi-san,
Yoshimu-san and
Tesuta Chubou-san.
Not too sure what this is but
Movida Ent Inc was printed on the bottom.
Meena goodies. Looking forward to the
anime out this month.
Couldn't quite take down the poster without somebody noticing.
Itsuka Todoku Ano Sorani(いつか、届く、あの空に) out this month.
Limited edition phone cards. I dont think I would use it if I bought one because the public phones stick holes in them.
Utsurigi something (dont know how to pronounce the rest).
Yoake Maeyori Ryuriirona - another item that I could not take home unnoticed.
Most limited editions were pretty much sold out by Sunday 1PM.
Not sure what this is but yowzers.
I need to get round to watching
Zero no tsukaima soon.
Saber was there too.
If I could play Mahjong, I would have got these - the best Mahjong pieces I've ever clapped eyes on.
Ryomo was there too.
Forgot her name but know shes from Ikkitousen.
Saki Kasukabe was there too.
Anime
Kyoshiro to Eien no Sora (京四郎と永遠の空) starts this month.
