[C77] Planning – Update 3
Will the battleground belong to Hitagi this time?
Zyl will enjoin the Battle of Ariake once more. *cue BGM* Plane ticket and service apartment booked.
Now I need the help of your collective wisdom.
Preliminary list [will be updated as I gather more info] of circle stalls I intend to visit:
Day One - 29/12 (Tue)
Must Get
Cha Cha Gumi: 西 れ20a (Strike Witches)
Browsing
Serinamo: 西１れ４２ｂ (NanoFate)
Yakan Hikou: 西１れ４５a (F/SN)
Various: 東６ツ３１－３４ (Saki - Momo x Yumi, Wa~ha~ha~)
Various: 東５ミ１－１５ (Evangelion)
Various: 東４メ１－１２ (Lucky Star)
Day Two - 30/12 (Wed)
Crow's Tail: 西 れ29b (Railgun)
Day Three - 31/12 (Thu)
Cyclone: 東 A16b (Nanoha)
Reine Hibiki [RussianBlue]: 東4 シ84a (MariMite)
Stratosphere: 東 二09b (Saki, Railgun)
GRINP: 西 あ18a (Railgun)
Egg's Shop: 西 あ58a (Nanoha, Strike Witches, Bakemonogatari)
Quarter Ice: 西 あ63a (Nanoha)
Zi-Block: 西 つ13a (Nanoha)
I'm also interested in circles who will be presenting doujins on Bakemonogatari and Kara no Kyoukai - will greatly appreciate your tips and recommendations on which circles to look out for. Thanks in advance!
Probably should also find out what C77 limited edition goodies the various commercial booths will be offering.
I deeply regret not attending the Heisei Democracy meetup when I was at C72 - Shingo has, since Sep 2008, gone MIA. Any fellow anibloggers and readers who are interested in meeting up?
Would also love to pay a return visit to Washinomiya Shrine at 23:59 hours on 31 Dec 2009 to observe New Year's but I have a flight to catch the next day at noon and have no idea if the trains will run long enough to get back to Central Tokyo from Saitama after that.
Update 1: 14 Dec 2009
Have downloaded the CD catalog but not without a whole catalog of problems. The CDs were in cdi format so I tried to use Padus Disc Juggler's Demo Edition but I couldn't figure it out. Eventually I used IsoBuster's free version to open and unpack the cdi. Then burned them on CD-Rs and ran the install. But when I tried to run the Catalog Browser, it doesn't work and I have no idea why. And I can't access the #C77 channel. OTL
Doing it the old fashioned way now by going through the PNGs in the PDATA sub-directory.
Update 2: 16 Dec 2009
Thanks to big helpu from HatouKei, I can finally use the Catalog Browser (applocale: download, install workaround for Vista, usage - in Windows\AppPatch\AppLoc.exe. Updated some Day One stalls that have caught my eye.
Update 3: 17 Dec 2009
Small Call just published their list of yuri circles who are participating in C77.

Damn maybe next time I will go with you Zyl!!! Always wanted to go to Comiket!
December 4th, 2009 - 18:30
Maybe we should aim for a grand Hontou Ni x Sea Slug Team meetup in the future!
December 7th, 2009 - 15:39
Ooooo that would be cool, but I think Kabi would be too shy to pose in front of the Stripey!
December 4th, 2009 - 18:07
Need more lolipr0n.
December 4th, 2009 - 18:31
I wouldn’t dream of intruding on Stripey’s turf.
December 4th, 2009 - 23:46
There’s. Only. One. Non-loli series. There.
December 5th, 2009 - 06:55
The circles I’ve highlighted specialize in humour-parody, not porn.
December 5th, 2009 - 15:24
Still. Looks. Like. Loli. Stripey. Would. Be. Proud.
December 5th, 2009 - 03:34
Oh how I wish I could go to things like these. If only I didn’t live almost literally on the other side of the world :<
December 7th, 2009 - 15:38
Hey I live on the other side of the world too, but c’mon it’s comiket!
December 5th, 2009 - 07:34
There are CCS print pantsu for stripey
December 10th, 2009 - 20:58
If your still looking for someone to meet up with I’m going to be there on the 31st, though it will be my first Comiket
Also I was planning on going to visit Zi-Block myself
December 11th, 2009 - 11:20
Sounds great! I’ll try to firm up my plans after getting hold of the catalog CD (due out 12/12).
December 11th, 2009 - 20:47
Should really try and get a copy of the catalog myself, but will probably aim for the paper one when I get there because I’ll have left the UK before anything arrives to me from Japan knowing my postal service.
December 15th, 2009 - 00:27
Hmm I’m also thinking of visiting Comiket 77 myself since I will be in japan around that time. Any advice for 1st timers such as myself?
December 15th, 2009 - 08:43
It’s definitely worthwhile just to see it for yourself and to experience the atmosphere. If you don’t have any must get items then it will be more manageable to show up after lunch. If you are shopping, bring cash, lots of cash (buget about JPY 500-1,000 per doujin) and remember to save some for your ticket back home! (Or get a Pasmo).
December 16th, 2009 - 05:53
or you could go for a Suica card which also works on the Pasmo network
December 15th, 2009 - 21:39
Well my shopping for this trip includes T2, Campus Life and Zi-Block – with hopefully, though not essentially – Key’s commercial booth, all on the 31st.
December 16th, 2009 - 03:57
Quite excited I get to go to 77. I got the catalogue working but obviously since I can’t read MoonRunes, I am merely going by circle, section, and booth/day. Don’t know what else I am looking at. I have a feeling this will be epic.
December 16th, 2009 - 04:31
I’ll be heading there too~ (another first timer).
Will be shopping for non-H yuri stuff (nanofate fluff by tokoharu FTW!).
Is it possible to survive comiket if you don’t speak much Japanese? I can read most manga and doujins fine but am at a loss when it comes to speaking the language. Too much listening/reading, not enough talking/writing. Keigo, sentence structure, etc is a mess. Orz.
As for the CD catalog, I believe the problem lies with the system locale for non-unicode programs in Vista/7. It just doesn’t work with the catalog. I played around with some settings and programs and finally got it to work (on XP, Vista and 7. Yes. I’m that free). Looking at your screenshot, I think you have vista but I’ll post the solution to all three anyway.

These are the general steps I took to get it to work. It’s getting lengthy so I left out the specific instructions. If you need any help, or if anyone needs me to post an idiot proof version (or I left smth impt out), feel free to ask.
December 16th, 2009 - 15:47
Thank you so much, HatouKei!! Your advice worked a treat and I can use the catalog browser now!
I’m sure you won’t have any problems communicating – at C72, the dialogue in Lucky Star Ep 7 (where Konata goes to ComiKet) was about all that was needed.
December 17th, 2009 - 05:35
Thank you for the how to – have now managed to get my maps printed for the table locations
December 16th, 2009 - 22:04
Nanoha the Movie 1st Project has a booth in the commercial section Number 111
December 18th, 2009 - 08:34
Thanks for the heads up and roger that, 西地区４階ブース１１１. (Good grief, I hate flash or whatever it is that prevents me from linking to the announcement page directly.)
A reason to join the first day morning queue! OTL
December 18th, 2009 - 18:52
Unfortunately I don’t land in Tokyo until 4pm on the 30th so will have to make do with what ever they have left on the 31st
December 18th, 2009 - 20:55
Also if you want anything from the Nanoha Movie stand plan on 6.000 yen or more for spending – thats the hoodie cost (may be my aim) the hugging pillows are 10.000 yen as is the bed spreed.
Cheapest thing is a special edition film ticket at 2.000 yen – will be seeing what they have when I get there.
December 19th, 2009 - 14:14
What, no plans for Umineko Chiru?
December 21st, 2009 - 15:20
Nope, didn’t watch that series.
