Also, do a write up on comiket plzzz, cuz I'm curious to know what it's like
i guess i'll do my write up starting from friday the day before comiket
i went to the akihabara denkigai matsuri in shinjuku which is an eroge event where the companies sell limited goods
some are present at comiket the next day and others aren't
i left my place some what around 7am and arrived to the hotel that it was taking place around 10
lines were long and the place was pretty high level, if you know what i mean
i went in bought my age set, they were going to also have there stuff in a comiket booth (not an age booth but like a different company selling there goods) but i didn't want to bother with the comiket lines so i went to this instead and virtually waited nothing
although i can't say that for the other lines which were not bad but i didn't really want anything from other eroge companies that bad since i knew comiket was gonna eat my money
coming out of denkigai i spent around $100 on an age set and an official event booklet
did stuff in shibuya like buy hair products for my hair type, spent $50 and don't regret it
next day i left on the first train from my place around 4:44am and arrived in tokyo big site around 7am to 7:30
the line was ****ing long by that time like i had to walk almost half a station away to get in line and wait until doors open at 10am
that day was the hottest day recorded for a comiket over 40 Celsius and heard people saying it reached 46 at one point
it was death waiting for those doors to open since you are in blocks of people, xie described it as a concentration camp lol
anyways, once the doors do open it took me around an hour to enter big site which after i had to wait in another line to enter the kigyou area, which are the industry goods.
i only took 1 liter of water and a bottle of pocari sweat, i was dying even before entering the kigyou area and had to buy drinks from the overpriced booths but they ran out of water. being dehydrated i didn't care and asked for 2 dr peppers since they had that and coca cola
once i actually entered the area, i wanted to get something from a booth called gift but gave up on it since it was really long and i wanted a limited shinobu strap so i decided it was definitely sold out by then
i went to my next booth which was ricotta, an eroge maker, one of the limited items i wanted was sold out but they still had the standard edition and the tapestry i wanted so i got in line and got my stuff
next booth was the warner bros line since i wanted a railgun hooded towel which had only 500 made. i was able to get one
basically after that i was dead and couldn't make it to any other places i wanted to since you can barely move inside so even though there is air conditioning all the bodies in there makes no difference
i was completely dehydrated so i had to leave and met up with xie and dakanya in akiba and ate lunch
i headed home after that to prepare myself better than day 1, which i had a fan, hat, 1 liter of water, a bottle of pocari, and calorie mates and wore an adidas dry fit jersey with shorts
this time i took 2 liters of water, 1 liter of aquarious (gatorade like stuff), 1 bottle of calpis water, a jelly packet of lemon cc, my railgun hooded towel, hat, adidas dry fit jersey and shorts
i left at the same time but was able to arrive at 7am earlier than last time but this time i was with a group of 3 japanese and while we sat we planned who is getting what and stuff and a group went to get more liquids for the group after we settled in the blocks
upon entering when the doors open, we all wished each other good luck and went to work never seeing each other again, literally i never saw them again but i know one of them from college so we are gonna give stuff to him and he will distribute it throughout the month
the wall booths which are the big circles are the toughest things but can be easy also since they are outside which is a double edge sword, since you don't have crowds of ppl and body heat but you have the sun blazing down on you but at least there is fresh air
i was able to get everything of my main list except for 1 circle which i missed read them being there on day 2, she was there on day 1, so i wouldn't have made it anyways since west hall is far away from east hall and you gotta remember the crowds so even though it is close distance wise it really isn't. i also missed out on a tapestry on this up coming artist i like but was able to get one of his books.
after i hit the large circles, i went to the small ones but one sold out but i was able to grab from the others. i was also able to discover a few new circles that had art i liked and got them.
after being done, i met with xie and dakanya again since we communicated through tweets the entire time since it's smarter to split and do work for obvious reasons
we sat there for a while since dakanya ran out of liquids and was basically dead and we had to give him a bottle of aquarious and wait for him to recover
while going around you do see people getting tossed onto wheelchairs since they passed out and ambulances waiting
even though i took all that liquids, i drank the 2 liters of water, 1 liter of aquarious, my jelly packet, and some of the bottle that were bought while we were in the blocks plus ate some calorie mates
after dakanya recovered we left to toyosu which is the opposite way from tokyo since everyone is leaving towards tokyo
we ate lunch and then got on the train and parted ways since we all had something to do
i felt like it wasn't worth going to day 3, today, since i got the majority of what i wanted and the only things i wanted were from a very few small circles
i didn't really go to the cosplay area where you are allowed to take pictures but saw some of the cosplayers at their booths selling stuff on day 2 or walking around
so yeah, that's comiket
pics of my denkigai up on twitter already
i'm being lazy atm to put up my comiket stuff but i guess i recovered enough and will do that now
