Ah Comiket 74, how much must I spend!

17 August, 2008 (19:27) | , | 18 comments

I budgeted 1.5 paychecks for it, after some of the items showed up, I believe this year things is just more expensive then last year, pretty depressing but I was able to get what I wanted for the most part.

Downside is that I wasn’t able to use my usual auction bidding service so I used a new one. I hope it ends up well.

Its probably also due to me using mainly buy it now prices so they’re always jacked up by a lot, but I think its sometimes worth it so I don’t have to deal with the hassle of constantly fighting with Japanese otaku wanting to get the sets too.

I picked up:

I am missing just two artists till I’m satisfied with the amount of money I wasted, Pink CHUCHU and Himegami are the two missing. I was going to get more stuff but I don’t want to dip in to my credit cards……If I did that then I wouldn’t be able to go to Japan for C75

A little gift from AX, turns out a friend of mine got the last Circus concert recorded.

The audio quality isn’t the best but its well worth it.

Anyways you can spot me in at 6:30 in the black Da Capo t-shirt doing part of the wotagei

OTL

Anyways enough talk, you can download the torrent. Poke me on irc if you know where to find me, I have it on my web server as well but its 800mb, and I don’t want the url to be shared.

Looking back at Anime Expo 2008

It was one of the better years. Some nice news about various things, but I wont be covering it since there’s other sites that do a much better job then I do.

Some people knew that I was working for hendane this year. Instead of being a con attendee, I was doing sales to people who were unfamiliar with doujin games and eroges. The nice thing about it is that I was able to help sell almost all Touhou and Higurashi stuff by day 2, even the sound novels sold! Simply amazing…

1 July, 2008 (20:29) | , , | 2 comments

Himegami is Aoi Nanase’s new circle name, she used to release under POWER GRADATION.

Didn’t clean off my scanner so it’ll have some dust sorry :/

Also I scanned something from Tinkle that came from sc40, I decided not to scan the black and white doujin that came with it.

Have fun.

[Comic 1-2] Ice & Choco (Naru Nanao & Kokonobi) - Puchi Design Note

28 May, 2008 (19:44) | , , , , | 3 comments

Didn’t clean my scanner as usual, also not full color ;( some nice line art and design notes for their previous works, I guess it would be a good reference to use if I ever decide to learn how to draw, unfortunately I can’t read much of the text so its not much use for me. Two stick posters came with it as well.

I am not sure if I have other things to scan from Comic 1-2, I might go though my collection to see what I can scan…..but no promises, I am quite temperamental lately due to some money problems and I want to beat Armored Core 4 (PS3)

I can’t wait for getting flamed again for “stealing” scans <3@two unnamed sites

[Comic1-2] Cut-a-Dash!!(Misato Mitsumi) & Blazer-One(Tatsuki Amaduyu) - Sashie Zakki 2

26 May, 2008 (20:02) | , , | 1 comment

I have no clue what the title means, nor did I know how to romaji it \o/ failure is me. Anyways, there’s scans of this floating about the intarwebs, but I believe my version is far superior. Although there is some dust on it as I am again too lazy to clean my scanner.

This doujin was a bit harder to work with, textured paper is my bane, so anytime I used my filters a lot of details were lost, so I’m stuck between really noisy or lost details, in the end I decided on the more noisy route.

To be honest I could of released it at 600 dpi, but I resized them to 300 dpi in hopes that someone will buy a copy….even though sadly you’ll only find them on auction. Hope you enjoy

[Comic 1-2] Rio-Grande(Mana Mitui) - Fraise.

25 May, 2008 (16:33) | , , | 1 comment

Another easy to scan doujin, not full color like Heart Work’s but still very nice. Mana Mitsui actually is part of another doujin circle that does futa (Harthnir), but I wont go there. I like girls without dicks thanks :3

As usual I didn’t clean my scanner too much, basically the same amount of dust as the earlier one. No noise filtering done either so if it can be improved feel free to improve it.

And I changed my mind again, direct linking to the pool is easier then adding thumbnails

More to come I guess?

[Comic 1-2] Heart Work(Suzuhira Hiro) - Pretty Girl

25 May, 2008 (14:21) | , , | 1 comment

I love how the past few doujins Suzuhira Hiro released had a simple stapled binding instead of most other artists using stiff glued ones.

SO! Simple binding = easy to scan! deeerrrr anyways I didn’t really clean up the scanner so there will be some dust, so you can have fun cleaning it up if you want, lastly one more note, I cropped out the top and bottom a bit more then normal but it did not effect the general picture, so yeah without further ado here’s you go.

Next time I do this I think I’ll add the thumbnails in the post so people would have a better idea of what they’re about to click on.

[Comic1-2] Happy Birthday - Code Geass R2 Stick Posters

24 May, 2008 (17:57) | , , , | 1 comment

Here you go, two stick posters from Happy Birthday (yes I know AMR’s art looks very close to Happy Birthday’s.) Just a warning, they’re a bit eroero.

One is the Lovely loli Anya Earlstreim in her uniform (if you would call that a uniform) and the other is Kallen Stadtfeld in a bunny outfit.

I will be scanning some other stuff I got tomorrow.
