200 volumes, sadly I’m missing a few volumes here and there. :/ (I’m only missing two of the Norwegian ones though, but then again, there’s only like 20 volumes or something here, it was cancelled in ’94 I think, or ’95, can’t remember. Mint condition though, like everything else I own :3)
Also, cats
One volume to go.
Back again, this time one hour later, since I wasn’t going to Neo-Tokyo before I went over to OKS (Where Desucon is being held).
I went to Outland first though, and got some manga:
As far as being crew goes, this day was more or less just running around with my friends, I didn’t really have that much to do, except answering questions about the different events when asked.
Went to see the “The history behind Desucon”-presentation, with Espen and Alejandro, it was pretty entertaining, especially how Alejandro shows his utter contempt over stuff like Naruto, Bleach and especially Twilight, everytime they get mentioned. 
Half an hour after that, I, nekoflaa, Sindre and Ole decide to go relax at Ryko’s (Ryko89 on youtube) AMV lounge, after about 2 hours watching AMVs with Ryko, me and Nekoflaa leave to do some stuff, I went to buy some stuff from Otacon (from japani.no), which we had decided on earlier.
To be more spesific, this:
‘Kimi Tsunagi Five M’, Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s first full-length album.
It’s not their best in my opinion, but it’s still pretty damn good. :3
And also, this:
Genshiken, awesome series.
There’s 9 volumes, so I’m still missing the two last ones, but I’ll get them in the near future most likely.
This is about otakus and comiket, if you like reading about stuff like that, I’d recommend these, or at least the anime. (Same name.)
Then we went back for one more hour of AMVs, before we decided to go do something else.
After that we just walked around everywhere, with no particular goal in mind, until the auction started.
Not a normal auction though, you could bid to keep or to destroy stuff.
With Alejandro (Which hates everything ) as a host this couldn’t be more perfect.
All the money went to a good cause ofc.
There was three really good parts, one can’t be explained though.
The other two was when they cut a twilight poster in two with a katana, and when some (obviously crazy) guy bid 1000kr (about $160) for destroying a $15 hello kitty doll by himself.
That is, first beheading it with a katana before shredding it to pieces with his own hands, that was some pretty strong hate right there.
The twilight poster thing is up on youtube.

After that it was pretty quiet until the ending show, which had stuff like caramelldansen on stage with Maid crew and organizers, and some coplay event were people had to introduce themselves as the characters they cosplayed, ‘Shookie monster’ (Cookie monster) won, with especially Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez doing a good job aswell in my opinion, but Elmo was awesome, so incredibly in-character.
Edit: Video
After that it was pretty much over, I went over to Neo-Tokyo’s stand where Kenneth had something which was kinda a surprise for me:
Yes, the newest game in the Touhou series (Touhou 12.3th) Touhou Hisōtensoku.
Oh and it has an actual character printed on the cd, I think that’s a first. (Though, I don’t have every Touhou game yet, only about 2/3 of them, so don’t take my word on that.)
After that I went home and to sleep, which I really needed.
Money used in total: 3800kr ($670)
Now I’m eagerly awaiting (My wallet isn’t though ) next Desucon, which will be in the summer 2010.
Pictures from the event itself will get it’s own post when I get them (and upload them).
As usual, I’m attending as crew
Which is cool, I actually worked before Desucon, I wrote some stuff for Desu.no.
I was “Emergency-info” (For the first time, I’m usually hmm… misc. I suppose ) at the actual event, basically just being there in case someone disappears or if they need more people.
The only thing I had to do was taking care of a second line selling tickets to the opening show at the start of the first day, and answering questions when people want to know stuff.
Okay, starting of, I took the train at 8:22 in the morning, arriving in Oslo at about 9:45.
I met up with Nekoflaa and two of his friends, before we headed up to Neo-Tokyo where I picked up this:
Carnelian keyboard :3
Originally it was priced at 10.000円, but it ended up at around twice of that upon arriving Norway, so it was a little bit expensive (about $230 or so)
Also, I like how it has one button with eleven kanjis
I got this for free as well, which kind of made up for some of the price
Yeah, to have on your keyboard.
And I got this, which is awesome
Grey cat hat :3
At Desucon we had some delays at the beginning, apart from that it went pretty well.
Then I watched the opening show, which was as awesome as usual, just with more sci-fi this time.
This years opening AMV was by Ryko (as usual), it was kinda short, but cool.
(Ryko89)Feel the Feud
Right after that I went to a japanese language course with some of my friends, I learned a little bit, but I knew most of it, still fun though.
I missed out on the show about Visual Novels, sadly 
I hope someone filmed it, though they probably didn’t.
Later that day I ate Miso, as usual, I eat Miso every Desu\Soracon, it’s like a tradition. 
I don’t think I did much more that day, I went home at 21:00, and that’s about it.
Ah, I just remembered, I also attended a show about Vocaloid, it was okay, but I didn’t get to see the whole thing. :/
Pictures from the event itself will be coming as soon as I get them from my buddies, since I don’t bother carrying around my own camera.
Guitar, drums and mic (which I’ll never use ) purchased.
Well, actually I got it a month ago or something, but I didn’t post about since I didn’t have my cam, I still haven’t gotten any pictures of it though.
But yeah, this is just to get it out of the way, so I can update about Desucon 4 <3
Oh, and I can play on expert if I turn on auto-kick, god damn I hate that thing, mine is particularly unresponsive as well, which doesn’t really help, I can clearly feel the delay. :/
Yeah, after we sent some complaints we finally got laptops at school
Which brings my total number of computers to 5. :3 (2 Laptops)
The stuff I bought\the stuff Kenneth got for me. :3
Even though this post is named “touhou galore” I will start off with a non-touhou game. >_>
Puyo Puyo Tsu [ぷよぷよ通] (Tsu is a pun on 2\two, and the kanji means “expert”, probably since it’s hard, kinda )
It’s a sealed copy from ’96 (IIRC) which isn’t that common, so I’m kinda reluctant to opening it.
Though I do want to read the manual, maybe it has a story or something, like Puyo Puyo Sun (3) which I mentioned a few posts back.
Now onto the touhou stuff. (Fan games\Doujin soft mostly)
Scarlet Meister, a horizontal shmup based of the touhou series.
Looks pretty hard, and I’m used to vertically scrolling shmups, so it’ll probably be a challenge.
東方活劇綺談 by the circle “Gatling Cat” (DoujinDB link)
A sidescrolling adventure\action\fighter\danmaku game in the style of “Touhou Reitaiki” (Also made by Gatling Cat)
東方琳瑯華～entirety spell timbre
Looks pretty good, looks like a puyo puyo clone with a touhou theme. :3
東方ポケット戦爭 – Touhou Pocket War
Some kind of Touhou RPG o_0 I just hope my knowledge of the japanese language will hold up (Something I doubt)
Touhou Battle Fantasia by Young-ken
eh…. this looks like a game (picture link), but the game cover says “DVD video” “16:9″ and “Color mpeg-2″ and it’s listed as “Animation DVD” ?_?
Well, I haven’t had the time to try it out yet, I guess time will tell.
Patchcon [ぱちゅコン Defend the library!]
:3 I love this game, it’s something in between an RTS and Tower Defense.
(Gameplay video)
Other stuff I got (These where more like gifts or something)
An Aya figurine mobile phone strap\keitei strap and one of those “clean-your-phone’s-display-with-this” thingies with patchouli.
Yeah
My PSP is now pimped :3
I have to get a second PSP.
So here’s a post I should’ve made some time ago.
Yeah, a new LCD monitor, 24″. :3
I had two 19″, but the power supply on my viewsonic died on me.
It’s nice to be playing games in 1920×1080 though. :3
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte
Le Portrait de Petite Cossette
Just bought these randomly.
Secret Files: Tunguska
Just as random as the previous stuff.
