hi..my friend wanted to buy some doujins and h manga that's from itumi sakurawa. do you think its possible to import it into singapore? thx..haf fun in WHF.
I saw a short video with Goku & ChiChi from DBZ, it was so hilarous. But I felt dirty afterwards though! :(
Nothing like that around here. ;_;
Man that's a lot of ero. What amazes me is that the Japaneses will put ads damn near anywhere.
At one time, one could see lots of Kemonomimi in the U.S. I only see Nikomimi from time to time now. I guess Kemonomimi and tentacles are out of favor here in the U.S. Personally I don't know how most make it to the shop, takes me a while to get up the steps! ^o^ Have fun tomorrow! Looking forward to all the WHF and Comitia goodness!
woooooooowwwwww o_o, will wait for the coverage tommorow...
Does anyone read a manga called Ren-ai Junkies??
wow thats a lot of ero that store has got and I know there are more all over Akihiba. I like the staircase, very "innovative". That was the most Haruhi doujin I have ever seen...thanks for showing us lol. Tentacles were never my kind of thing.
I would have to sta at that store for awhile to get my bearings..say like a month.. :D ero isn't a bad thing in moderation it's when you start ignoring your reall life ( wife/husband/kids) that it gets bad... The eyes... the eyes.... :D
Nekomimi are sexy. Maybe deep down we're all perverts who want to have sex with kittens :S Or maybe cat ears just look sexy on girls :S I've noticed that you've been slowly working more ero-related content into your posts in recent months. Is there any reason for this?
Wow! Crazy inverted staircase picture!! Sorry, random moment. *Ahem* Ero Doujinshi is a dream for anime fans who grow tired of the classical image of anime (prude, neat, straight and all) and looking for its dark side... Still I don't understand people who are fond of furry, tentacles and lolicons. Not my taste at all, I reckon. Anyway, certain doujinshi authors are truly artists. Too bad they put their skills for "evil" purposes. ^-^
Wow, it's really ero-heaven out there. This is why I so wanna come down to visit Akihabara when I have enough cash to travel to Japan. To put those pics on the floor steps looks kinda a waste but still no matter how you look at it, it's just awesome. Road to Ero-ero :D
SUGOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ^_^ There is so much there 0_0 I must go to this place when i go to Japan (which is getting nearer!!)...the only problem is, how to explain to my older brother what i would be doing in such a place...i will need to sort that one out...
Maybe someone should compose a theme song for the shop entitled: Stairway to Ero Heaven...
i like the staircase designs... very innovative. are they custom made to the shop's requirements? cos i saw many different dimensions when i hwas there...
I sort of stumbled in a very similar shop like that when I was in Japan almost 10 years ago with my wife. And funny thing is, we were both looking for some manga and was wondering why the heck is every guy looking at my wife, plus I was stacking up the Eva-books and other stuff. But had to return all of them when she found out its all doujinshi :( Moral of this lesson? DON'T take the wife to these shops! Unless she's a freak.
No, but its nice to browse but i wouldnt buy it myself
Nice pics Danny, which shop at Akihabara did you take the photos? I rember visiting Akiba around TGS06 last year. Dun these sections of the store have some 18+ warining sign to them? I remember seeing staircases like these (not eroge) at various shops in akihabara with anime or game posters. The shops owners really want to maximise the advertising sapce available there huh? I am surpised that there is still a great load of Haruhi doujin manga around. Have you seen women in these shops before? Just Curious. Its too bad some of these ero artists draw very well but I guess most start with eroge first to make themselves establish huh?
1.) Question to other Gundam Model Enthusiasts. I've just went and bought water-transfer decals for my MG Strike Noir. I'm however, planning on top-coating my model with some Mr.Hobby Matt(no gloss) top coat. Just want to make sure... but do I put the decals on BEFORE or AFTER the topcoat? 2.) Hey Danny, I went to that shop with the Parts Paradise thing... the shops name is Yellow Submarine, a rather famous/large chain of hobby stores in Japan... was looking for the Grand Slam of the MG Strike+IWSP (gonna work it with my Noir) however... they didn't have it :/
To understand the Japanese fetish regarding tentacles, you need to first know about their past. Blame their 17th Century for inventing works like 蛸と海女 (Dream of the Fisherman's Wife).
Gah, the comment box doesn't support html codes? Anyway, check out Wikipedia for 蛸と海女. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_of_the_Fisherman%27s_Wife
Doesn't it seem "sad" that these men have to resort to animated eroticism, some of which is clearly depicting pedophilia, to get their jollies! It makes you question the depravity of a culture that supports such questionable taste. I prefer to get my porn in the dirty little bookstore at the end of dark alley! ;p
I was in Akihabara today, and took a look at some of the doujinshi shops that I didn't see last time. It is unbelievable how much Suzumiya Haruhi-stuff there is. I think the number of different doujinshi ones was around 50-60... I'm a big fan of Haruhi myself (and her seiyuu Hirano Aya ;p), but it was surprising, but not unexpected. (I'm on holiday in Japan for 2 weeks, today's my second day)
OO!! that's quite al lot of stuff! I't impossible fo find a place like that here. No way. Soooo sad. "Very nice pics Danny!" .:G:.
Just FYI, some of those erogames are sold in download form. I believe Melonbooks has a direct-download online store, and in addition there's DLsite.com, which actually has an English section. Caveat emptor, though - a lot of the stuff there isn't worth the price they charge. Some of it is excellent though.
Oh, while I am at it, N.H.K. ni Youkoso!/Welcome to the N.H.K.! is an anime that depicts eroge, otaku and NEET/Hikkikomori lifestyles quite well but also that there could be a problem with a part of the new generation in Japan. Many episodes focus on the creation of a galge (dating simulation with eroge parts to be more precise), and so on... Personal note: Sadly to say, the show became quite crappy at the two thirds. I might watch the rest one day. Hope this helps!
Tsubaki, I still dont get how its sexy ^^; Reikai, Top coat after decals but dont spray too close. Akiraman, I think it was Messe Something ^^; I do see women in the shops from time to time though. Tragic Comedy, I guess they are custom made. Wildarms, I had a poll recently and you said you wanted more ero ^ what did you vote for? Jay Cee, Never heard of it.
Danny: Oh yeah. Forgot about that :V
I remember walking up the stairs in a store in Akihabara to be confronted by a giant poster of a cute, wide-eyed anime girl looking appealingly over her shoulder.... whilst having a turd. I was a little taken aback, my wife much more so (anyone else ever strolled into the grot section of one of these places with their wifes!?), but you soon get used to seeing all these works displayed with little concern as to who may see them. I wouldn't buy any myself but it doesn't bother me, even my wife got quite used to seeing the various 'interesting' products available. We were particuarly impressed by a display of Gundam figures, mainly because next to them was a collection of cute girls wielding lit candles (they weren't using their hands). A nice balance I thought.
oh ya.thx for not putting mirei-san all over the censored areas...its an eye opener..XD
Wow, the Jollibee's Filipino cuisine can't compare to this eye candy! :)
we DONT get any ERO goods ... maybe in a 100 yrs time ... cool pix as usual Danny ...
I also don't get the tentacles things. The nekomimi though, for me, they're kawaii with the cat ears. If I had stairs like those I wouldn't be able to use them. heheheh! :D
Danny, Thank you for NOT including the mirai marks to cover the naughty bits. I personally wouldn't be sad if they never appeared again, or at the very least didn't appear in the full size gallery version of the photos. It doesn't matter if the marks are there or not, my boss would still have a fit if he saw the pics, so it doesn't make the pics SFW. And I'm a grown up, I like sites that show me the products I'm interested in without censoring them, helps me decide if it's I want to buy them or not. And I think there are far worse things teens could be looking at (like arch-conservative blogs) than some plastic boobies.
We are totally dry of ero here. Maybe not, but I haven't seen any...
I think it's definitely nice to see characters that we watch and see devlop in a "new light". I live in NYC and remember while in High School, going to Elizabeth St (China Town) and there being a store FULL of Doujinshi. When I finally decided to buy some a while later, it was gone. :(
It be nice if we got to read some doujinshi from great fans of mainstream manga. Oh well eroge ehh i like the art work!
Unless I'm wearing a special suit that covers me from head to toe like this one: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f5/HangmenHeaven/Random/Image383.jpg I wouldn't imagine myself buying these things in public.
I agree with you Danny.... I can't understand the tentacles thingy. Personally, I found them grosse... @_@ but I guess some people like them, if not, they wouldn't be making images with those included. Poor girls! x_X
I would :-D i dont mind buying that stuff. I would love to visit japan :-( hope I get to sometime before i die or something :-D
Wow, that H-Paradise !!! Err, still i dont like those tentacles thingy i'd prefer the soft-core :) Hmm... that would absolutely keep you locked up in your room ....
Very nice pictures. I bought a couple when I was in Japan but never saw an all-eroge store(or section) where I bought it. Got pretty expensive, only bought a couple. The Japanese people didn't stare like Americans do when you walk out of a porn shop.
scrolling down page and was surprised to see Haruhi eroge. her eyes caught my eyes i guess
i wish was store tht sell candy girls but i dont have 1 in me region. candy grls b good for cosplay pics.
I want go to this shop i want see them all
theres not alot of places that sell eroge in america, but the places you can get eroge... is possibly frys electronics because i know they sell hentai there, maybe theres eroge that they sell that i dont know of.
Damn it, there's no such places in Singapore.. I wish i was in japan.
nop nop nothing like that around here
Let me tell you, if we had retailers for ero here in L.A., President Bush would do all he can to put a stop to this. Because he's dumb like that. I don't care for ero, but i wish we had more Dakimakura around here.
There's no store like this here in the Philippines, if so they would close that entirely, if only eroge stuffs would include on promoting Japanese subculture here.
Wow! Even the stairs are awesome!
HUGE STORE Danny, i even saw Haruhi's eyes over there...
Is this a repost? or was it an accident / error? By looking at the comments it was posted in February. I thought I was going crazy for a minute.
Looking like the original posting date was May 5th of 2007; last year. Yet it's posted again, and on the front page the dating says, "This time last year." I feel like I'm out of the loop or something, what's going on?
