Japanese Desks

wow love the before and after

the boxes stacked up were also amazing ^^

Before and after pics are ace. Might be fun to see one where they take a pic every day and make a short movie out of it.

So many Louise...^_^;

just simple i love danny's desk !!

I'm so jealous of the owner of the 1st picture >_< completely smashes my room... i want a projector too gahh.

!!!!

LightningSabre Japanese Clone spotted!

There's one with a slot machine. o.o Another with Miyama Zero(I think) Anya. Great taste in loli my friend! xD

Notice the Mac users have very creative rooms.. Or at least exotic walls. ^^;

oh man some incredible desks! i think is time for me to upgrade mine ^^;

Wow, Danny had kick-started a trend in blogosphere ^_^

I love the interior of the first pic & the one with concrete wall, solid & solemn feel.

LMAO! Someone highlighted my oval "desk"~~~

Most of their monitor screen is so big.

Let's see what's the next trend in DC & the world follows~~~~~

Its good to know , that not only the Japanese like Anime ,Ero ,and Manga but also gaijin's too.

As most Japanese people judge people by their skin colour .

Its proof that Gaijin Otakus are the better Otakus ^^ ( No offense )

Some pretty cool rooms, the one with all the piled boxes is crazy lol.

BEAN BAG!>.< loved them!

The 1st photo is great. Same to the photo with all the boxes stacked up.

ooh~~~
i like the keyboard arm attachment - wonder if i can find one of those....

Logitech Trackman spotted!!!

why is it that the moment i see there're many keyboards in the japanese desks, the word "vocaloid" came to mind?

my desk is kidna bare, except for a clock and my trusty old computer monitor... :(

Wow, did we inspire one otaku to clean up his room...?

I really like the first desk, after image of course. It feels homely.

I was laughing very hard at the comment "Where is all the cup noodles, tissue paper and plastic bottles?". Not all Otakus are messy like theirs.

Hmm... I don't think having guro posters be nice to the visitors of the house ^^;

Spotted cosplayers back there... :3

OMG, the blogosphere is talking about our desks.
I see some nice setups up there.

-Otaku knows no boundaries between countries --> Well, said.
-There is a mismatch where eroge figures are displayed next to Macs --> Two pieces of art don't match?
-Where is all the cup noodles, tissue paper and plastic bottles?: Lol, just lol

lol i only see one photo of a extrem otaku!

Oh Aya I am so proud that I know you!

Nice desks.
My current desk is not even that good to stare at.

Gotta love those desks with tons of hiteach stuff, so envious!!

"Was surprised by the ero poster on the ceiling with the legs wide open"

...^^;

I love my desk even it is very simple, will grow figure empire bits by bits ^^

Some of those desks seem suspiciously clean and un-otakuish.

Though some of them look like trash dumps. I don't know how people live like that.

This is my simple "Italian" desk, with my PCs (I use a KVM switch), my Ultra Magnus figure (the only toy I have saved from my nephows!!!), my favorite airsoft gun (H&K G36C)...

Nice desks as if that hasn't been said before. I noticed a lot of the computer desks do not have chairs. I wonder how comfortable that is.

SO many Lousie nendos!! The Japanese sure know how to have a neat/otaku-ish desk ^^
Loving this room, looks really comfy to me - http://img.dannychoo.com/blogimg/200905_jdesk13.jpg

Wow that's a huge change... how can anyone get their room/desk to become that dirty. A lot of the rooms are small, but I like how innovative some are... Like the desk with all the blow dryers underneath...
That guy who has the large collection of boxes must be like an online seller.

I wish my desk was cool too T_T

Not as many figures as I thought there would be.

So many nice desks! Our Japanese otaku brothers and sisters really have a good sense of style!

these are wonderful desks!!
i love that first one!

So they say "-Those hentai's"?
They know us too well. XD

Seriously, is it just me or do nearly none of those otaku have any figures at all displayed on their desks? 0_o

10 Louise?! The power of Japan otaku?

Japanese desks really look like "desks"

Some of them even have lesser figures than what my desk has~ :XD:

lol. Love the reactions at the DC Desks. What could be the next giveaway photo-op kinda thing... thats the question...

Holy the 'before' and 'after' pic was epic. I can't imagine a person living in that kind of environment...Not for me since I'm like a freak when it comes to cleanliness and I seriously hate messy or dirty workplace / desk. I would be constantly tempted to clear those mess away ^^

the power of multiple copies, evidently not only adds up, but multiples upon itself

wow ^^

Wow, some seriously cool stuff in some of those rooms...

Hmm, the room with the Guitar, Amp, Keyboard, Notebook, and all those bottles in looks like it could very well be my room lol :P

A lot of those doods are using Macs, I didnt know Apple stuff was popular in japan.

Desks are lame!

You don't know what you're missing until you network pc's to another room/bedroom with 46 inch full HD LCD TV, surf and watch anime in luxury while reclining on a electric adjustable bed. Blue Tooth mouse and mini BT keyboard are pre requisites (use with inbuilt touchpad mouse control and do away with separate mouse if need be) Hospital height adjustable bedside table for phone,gadgets and snacks. This is what a "friend" of mine uses daily, he hardly ever uses his office pc with 2 x 24 inch screens anymore.

Wonder where all the stuff from 'before' went! Can kinda imagine many plastic bags at another corner of the room :P LOL also loled at the one with stacked boxes. Those desks without figures and stuff around doesn't feel otaku, maybe they are 'closet otakus'?

I'm quite ashamed, even some of these 'before' ones look much neater than my desk ;_;

Well, if my desk is pasted with all sorts of anime posters and games, is this considered as a slight feel of otaku desk? =)

Some of those rooms made me do Wow.

wow , nice photos

This is awesome!!! I love to see foreign reaction to foreign hobby. I can't wait to see what Danny comes up with next!

my computer is not placed on my desk cause my desk is filled with books and coloring stuff...so i placed my computer in a small desk which is really meant for computers >n<

Those are some awesome rooms.
I really like the one with the concrete walls, I always wanted a separate room like this in which I could do my design stuffies and work without distraction.

oh looks like posting rooms is becoming a popular thing

Some very nice setups. I think my legs would go permanently numb tho if I sat on the floor with all the time I spend online. ^^;

I really don't get why so many people have Sidewinders. There's no reason to buy them. The IME 3.0 is just as good and it's only $30.

Wow... 10 Louise nendoroids....

Otakus are same no matter where they are~

That's kinda neat, bridging cultures from all over the world... sort of... by sharing our rooms. :)

Some are big...others are small...quite varied over there as well...

Wow the after shot is nice but the before shot...makes me want to douse that whole room in bleach.

Nice to see that even in Japan a lot of people have messy desks :x

The guy with the Aperture Science case though gets a point for that. ^^

Not enough figures.

it's funny how all these rooms posted by the japanese DC community is very empty on figures and toys... whereas overseas EVERYONE tries to incorporate as many figures and toys as possible hahah

Nice setups! I was surprised to see that most of them don't have as much (if any) figures as I expected..

I love the before and after one!! LOL
Those Wallpaper are good!

just wondering with all those figures and junk isn't it annoying to clean them cuz they will collect dust

Is that a projector in the very first pic? That's awesome. My cousins have that too.

Practically no figures...

lol, some of those are really neat. and then theres the one where you can't even see the desk...only boxes.

It seems like otaku outside Japan are more into figures (or at least displaying them) and the Japanese otaku have more gadgets/technology on their desks. At least that is what the pictures seem to tell. :D Still, it's nice to see that something as simple as photos of desks can bring the world closer together in a way. d(^.^)b

Im really into the minimalistic type setups the jap readers have.

But may be fatal once in my hands hahaha, would mess it up in 2 mins :p

lol at the guy having a slot machine in his room. xD But most of the desks look really awesome.

They have some really nice desks there. I like some of the equipment a few of them have.
The comments about our desks are rather interesting, I can't help but lol at a few of them.
And someone there must really like Louise. The before and after shots are great.

They've got some pretty nice setups, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with the Japanese style of having everything so low to the floor. I think I'd end up even more hunched-over.

Why do some of them have concrete walls?

o:
I like the idea of the widescreen on it's side. It might be handy.

And putting the desk on the floor suddenly makes so much sense to me. I must redecorate.

Cool that they started posting their pictures too:)

Man.. some of the sets are really cool like a lot of our comrades around here are.. and some of them.. left me scratching the back of my head going.. Where do they sit? I couldn't imagine sitting on the floor to type.. just.. Yeah no...

But, Cool things .. I agree with a lot of the comments.. Figures! Everywhere in some pics

It would be awesome if someday some of the English-speaking DC readers could meet up with some of the Japanese DC readers.

Guess their desks are more for actual practical usage instead of something to put figures on ^^;

Hey! I have that same Eva background! It cycled on the desktop a few days ago.

-If you send figures to cute female otaku overseas, they will be pleased so if you want to get friendly with one then send them figures!

This comment made me laugh so hard.

Maybe we inspired some people to clean up their desks. Hahaha..

My desk is a failure at the moment. It's just to big. D:

I love the Japanese desks. Nice and clean!
I wouldn't be able to stand having figures on my desk, knocking em over and all..

I just love the ambiance for the fourth picture and what's up with the emergency exit sign?

Definitely prefer these desks over that of much of the contestants though there was one ( not Alodia's ) that I thought was very nice.

On a side note since I have as yet to get a response from support @ dannychoo dot com, is anyone else having an issue with not being able to log in with their password and not having any luck changing the password? My primary account has been having this issue for a day or two ever since the site was having trouble with posting or it was shut down when people were complaining about the winner.

Some really nice setups there. The one with the concrete walls is weird, I wouldn't be able to live with that.

xD I like the before and after~
I wish I have my own room ; ; so I can have my own work space.

Some of them are large and cramped kind of like my desk.

suddenly my desk doesnt feel so small anymore lol

I can only dream that my room can be as nice as these...

-If you send figures to cute female otaku overseas, they will be pleased so if you want to get friendly with one then send them figures!

LOL so funny if you send some eroge figures i don't most of them will be happy :)
and on those stacking figures in box its look more like a warehouse.
I think its must better to think before you buy new figures or other things must think first how to organist for a better view and for easy cleaning.

The 15th photo has the same wallpaper I had when I took last giveaway photo. ^^

And I do agree with Gabriel's Ghost, that would be an event that would be long remembered.

First photo is amazing. Very modern lighting and walls. Not digging the equipment on the floor though and I feel like they can use a nice black la-z-boy in the middle of the room. Placement of the two computers is kind of weird. Love the painting there while the projector screen is up. I would comment on the other rooms, but this room is just too amazing.

おお、６４見っけ　今まで生き残れて偉い！

因みに俺も持ってます（壊れてるけど・・・汗）

My desk gets cluttered with so much paperwork i don't take any pictures of my room. It also doesn't help that im moving in about a week.

hahah. love the before & after. the owner sure cleaned it up just to post his/her desk. ^^

Haha, I love reading their comments!

Hehehe, hopefully, your article will affect even the hikkikomori to open up.

the comments are quite hilarious.
i want that keyboard mount D:

I love the room/office in the very first picture. Just wow!
Any ideas anyone where that's from?

It didn't take long for the photo to get out on the Japanese Internets. I seen several of them floating around tumblr the day after Danny announced the winners. This last contest was one of the best!

I like the bare concrete walls in some of the rooms...

the 5th photo from the top is very cool :D
like Ai enma's computer :E

Some of them reminded me of my old setup: everything on the floor including the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

Some Japanese desk are so neat and tidy while others are so messy covered with cup noodles and pet bottles ^^;. I like a lot of the desk set ups though.

I got a kick of seeing what Japan thought of our desks XD This line really made me lol: "If you send figures to cute female otaku overseas, they will be pleased so if you want to get friendly with one then send them figures!"

Love the second photo. It's giving me ideas.

lol i prefer danny room ..so many mac...(when is clean)

Haha the messier ones remind me of mine before

最後な写真はかっこいいですね～いっぱいなモニター！

looks like us gaijin otaku have more ota-spirit in us....i mean the desks here cant even compare with alodias'(let alone dannys')desk =]

Man love the first two pictures (the header one and the "cleaned up one")... The first is way cool in an industrial/minimalist way and the second is awesomely mid-century in a way. Little stand alone book shelf thing: do want!

Nice Eames Eiffel chair there as well. In fact some very sweet spaces indeed. Love some of the audio setups as well :D

Never thought looking at other people's desks could really be so fun!

Most of the desks look pretty neat and clean.

love it, love desk pictures, seen some in Gizmodo, also love them (they aren't otaku related, except one with a Sogeking warrant poster).
Reminds me that I have to clean mine or take more pictures... or get a cellular with camera. =/

Wow one of the desks is so well armed with not 1, not 2, but 3 iPods! :O

The coolest thing I see about this whole thing is that for once it's the overseas otaku influencing the Japanese ones, not the other way around. :P

Someone look's really nice, but a voice ( my wife ) say " FORGET this Idea !! " . More than 1 computer on my desktop is not possible ^^ .

great before and after shots.

WOW!! ALL those rooms look so KICK ASS!!haha I WANT ONE!!

Woah, seems so fun living there without any worries of being an otaku....
You can pile off your collections wherever you like, it's so free....
