OriginalRen Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hey all, Ren here, First off, this topic thread is twofold. One, I am here to talk about my video blog, and two, I want to know if there is anyone who wants some hard copy VNs when I return to Japan in October. First of all as I said, I will be returning to Japan in October for another 2 months on work related matters to teach English, as well as looking to seek a permanent visa if possible at that time. I have been there for a month in the past year for my TESL certification, however most of the stuff I wrote about the country was done via my Tumblr account. I was wondering if when I return (and people still exist on the forums), people would enjoy a video blog about the many interesting things Japan has to offer. I could tour the country when able and post some stuff on the forums for Fuwanovel. I am pretty decent at making videos, and since I have been to Tokyo before and know Akihabara and other districts like the back of my hand (I actually gave someone who I met in Japan a tour of it around my age lol), I think I could make some pretty interesting videos of the stores, historical landmarks, and such of the country. Let me know if this is something people would be interested in and if you have anything you want to see done specifically. Second, I was also wondering if when I return anyone would be interested in having me pick up some hard copies of VNs for them to ship to their country. I know some pretty good locations that offer good deals and have actually had a few people request some VNs from me via PMs, so if this is something you are interested in let me know. I am more than willing to help you out, the only thing is that you of course would need to pay for the games yourself. I would as I said provide the best deals for the games, but just let me know. With that, I depart. Let me know about these things. Emperor Emblem 1 Quote
Stanleys Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The blog sounds really interesting. I would love to see it. But I think I will pass on the hard copy VN's, being broke and all. Quote
Rose Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The vlog would be really nice, surely there are people who wish to know about stuff from there through someone who was actually there recently. I'll also pass the VN's hard copies since I'll be there this year anyway, but I'll still be counting on you for that online tour through Akihabara. =D Quote
zoom909 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 About the first part, sure I'd be interested. I may yet get over to Japan "at some point", and I'd rather look at your guide than that of some random person on the internet... About the second part, I'm more of an anime/manga collector than a VN collector. Do you know some nice used DVD or used Book emporiums? Quote

About the second part, I'm more of an anime/manga collector than a VN collector. Do you know some nice used DVD or used Book emporiums? I do! There is a book store called BOOK-OFF that has a lot of used Manga and stuff for cheap that's popular everywhere in Japan. It exists in the US, but usually has English translations. In fact, I picked up the Madoka series for about 10 bucks after conversions. Quote
Tenkuru Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'm very much interested in the vlog. As for anything from Japan, I would love to get my hands on hard copies of Hakomari but since I'm broke, I'll have to pass. Quote
Life Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Looking forward to the vlog. Like others I'm broke so I'll pass on the second offer. Quote
The Major Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I do! There is a book store called BOOK-OFF that has a lot of used Manga and stuff for cheap that's popular everywhere in Japan. It exists in the US, but usually has English translations. In fact, I picked up the Madoka series for about 10 bucks after conversions. Do they have art books? I would be interested in some of those.

Tatsujin Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Really? Hmm ... Alright. I want to purchase the soon-to-be-released Muv-Luv: Schwa-whatever in 2015. As for now, I haven't decided yet. Does this VN have a limited edition package? If so what's inside of it? Edit -- Also, Fate/Zero Limited Edition (not the regular edition). For S1 and S2. How much do each cost? Edit 2 - Yeahhh your in for a ride. Can you show me a picture of Steins;Gate PS3 game? The new one (I think?). I want to see if there is also a limited edition one. Edit 3 - What is this? It looks like a CD album but they can't ship it outside of Japan? -- Original, can you see what the prices are for what I mentioned? At least what that Steins;Gate is from Edit 3. I'm serious about the HoshiOri though. Quote
InvertMouse Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Well, it is difficult, but I do have an obsession with walk tour videos (^///^)~ Several years ago, I stayed in Ikebukuro for a while and had a chance to visit Akihabara. Some walk videos of those places would be pretty neat . I am sure most people would be cool with seeing some tour videos of the shops as well, though I think filming is not allowed inside. Quote
