How To - Japanese DLsite purchasing FAQ online

Mainichi Junk: May 17th, 2008

Today’s Updates

Bit of a light news day today, so just some recommendations below if you’d like to support the site - including a run down of many of the figures we’ve reviewed recently that are still available for sale, as well as the pick of today’s batch of DLsite items:

It seems Moon Phase found some time this evening to make a short update, which yielded some great news you’ll find below along some other random items scavenged from the depths:

See below for several other bits of news that didn’t quite make post status, including the Sekirei anime cast list, an eromanga to watch out for, and a figure that may have you washing your eyes out with soap:

Today’s Updates

In a rare occurrence there were no new eroge released this weekend - not a single one. This will be made up for in the final two weeks of the month, as May 23rd and 30th are jam-packed with new high profile titles that we’ll be doing our best to cover as their releases draw near.

Taking things a bit easy tonight, the only thing you’ll find below is an explanation of Manyuu Chibusa’s castoff procedure:

The light is at the end of the tunnel for our coverage of WHF Ariake 18, with just two planned posts left in the pipeline. I thought things went pretty well this time around and look forward to producing similar coverage in the future. No more big events on the calendar for a little while, which should provide some breathing space to attend to other neglected aspects of the site (I really need to do a new Creator Spotlight…).

Shameless commerce below the fold, including the new Capcomaniax pair up at Play-Asia and Behind Moon’s latest doujin (futanari Miku) at J-List:

Trying to catch up a bit on sleep so I’ll keep this brief. See below for a list of newly available figure preorders - Play-Asia beats Japan to two new Yamato items! - along with a hot hot Horo:

Today’s Updates

Much other interesting news from the past few days has been covered by Zepy and EvoSpace, for those who haven’t been reading Canned Dogs and Akihabara Channel religiously. There are a few other items percolating that will probably show up here in the morning, in addition to our continued WHF and Futaket coverage; meanwhile if you’re wondering what’s new at Play-Asia and DLsite, we’ve got you covered:

Today’s Updates

As can be seen by the content of the day’s updates, today was World Hobby Festival Ariake 18 Final. I’ll be rolling out posts continuously over the next couple of days based on what was shown there. It was a fun event, bustling with a lot of fans and sculptors who had all worked hard to make it a success. From that perspective it’s a pity it had to end this way, and I’m going to miss it; though this was only my third trip to WHF I’ve grown fond of the way it’s run. No nonsense, no glitz or pretensions to grandeur, just a bunch of folks getting together and geeking out over a shared hobby. I can only hope that Hobby Complex is ready to take over the mantle of second tier convention, as the empty space between Wonder Festivals is still jumping around saying “fill me!”.



That’s it from me for today - regular updates resume tomorrow.

Mainichi Junk: May 4th, 2008

Just a quick update to note that I’m back from Futaket. Had a pretty nice time, all things considered; we started the morning with a speeding ticket, but made it to the event hall on time for circle entry. Because they were checking the ages of all participants (as part of increased precautionary measures due to last year’s crackdown), I was carded for the first time ever in my life in Japan. I spent the event working on sketches for the doujin that I should have been selling there (I ended up only having copies of the old book I put out at Comiket to offer, and sold maybe ten through the course of the day).

The best news by far to come from Futaket was that ABC, the event whose mass media exposure caused much of this brouhaha, is returning. I can’t say more at this point as I don’t want to spoil the event organizer’s hard work by letting things out too early, but it’s confirmed - a reincarnation of the maniac ero event is scheduled for October. More news on this and further impressions of the day at Futaket when I get around to compiling a review (which may be never; I have an abysmal track record when it comes to Futaket reports, but I’ll try hard on this one).

Tomorrow is World Hobby Festival Ariake 18 Final, the last WHF ever. I’ll be heading there bright and early and am thus pretty anxious to get some sleep, but if you’d like to preview the event for yourself the complete circle list can be found here. Back with the fallout in less than 24 hours!

Oh, and if you’re going to the event tomorrow and you happen to read this and would like to meet up, look for the tall, balding gaijin with glasses and an Olympus camera.

Today’s Updates

It’s an omnibus mainichi post tonight, bringing plenty to last through the drought as I slack off tomorrow (Futaket) and Monday (WHF Ariake 18). I’m aiming to update on both days, but not with much of substance other than reports of the days’ events…

Read on for what to do if you have $600 to spend this weekend on a single figure, a look at a potential new PVC from Wafuudou Ganguten, screenshots from Pink Pineapple’s June eroanime release lineup, and more:

Mainichi Junk: May 1.5th, 2008

Tonight’s posting regimen wasn’t coming together in a timely way, so I’m pushing things back ’til tomorrow morning. In the mean time, fanservice! there are some [ERO] Ikkitousen Great Guardians preview disc screens below the fold:

See below for a bunch of news that wasn’t quite deserving of its own individual posts, but is still likely to be of use to figure enthusiasts and ero aesthetes alike (also new figure release whoredom, and some Play-Asia bargains):
