Wasn’t there some big problem with an influx of seriously annoying newfags at the most recent Reitaisai? I’d hate for my fandoms to get flooded by idiots who pretend to be cool fans but don’t know shit.

I really want to see the evolution of Touhou doujin groups. I am pretty sure the IOSYS flashes and Niconico Douga contributed a lot to the current popularity of the series, but Touhou was popular even before that.

“Given that Comiket is held for only 6 hours, it means that you’d have to go at a rate of 4.6 circles per minute if you wanted to go through every one of these circles.”

While not all circles will be selling swag worth buying, it still behooves you to utilize multiple people in hitting up everything. My friends and I all pretty much like the same stuff, so we’ll all be in one hall. Then, we divide the hall up between us, and use a master list of circles we want stuff from. The only real issue is the perimeter, since the lines are so long you really have to get in there early before they sell out. IE Touhou
