The paper version of the Comic Market 72 catalog went on sale yesterday, and Zepy over at Canned Dogs relays the scoop from its innards: Comiket 73 will run from December 29th through the 31st, 2007. This is the second consecutive three-day winter Comiket, and the second with the third day on New Year’s Eve day. In Japanese culture this is roughly the equivalent of Christmas Eve day in the United States, creating the awkward situation of having to figure out where you’re going to stash your [ERO] day-three loot before going home for the holidays… For those such as myself who lend no particular significance to the Japanese new year this is splendid news, as it seems this will finally be the first Comiket I manage to apply to as a circle, and having the third day increases the chances of the lottery coming up favorably. :3 Going to be at fuyukomi this year? Drop us a line! (no more)
























Wow, the dates being set are pretty early. But now that I know when C73 is, I can definitely plan my Japan trip better. I hope to meet you again Shingo when I make a return to the land of the rising sun once again at the end of this year.
Thanks for the dates, this too will make planning for the end of the year easier as I have quite a few things I need to do during that time. I hope to meet some of you guys at fuyukomi, or even natsukomi in a few weeks! (Though I’ll only be there for a couple days)
Wow. This year it would end on a monday ^^; Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend Comiket due to school commitments :/
I can’t wait for Comiket 73, but I’m almost sure I won’t be able to attend. I wonder if attendance will be less then normal, since one day in on New Year’s Eve. Maybe some otaku have lives :p
I’m planning to go, but I was expecting a 26-28 December date. These dates aren’t bad, but I’ll have to head off to Kansai Int. the next day rather than closer to New Year’s Eve.
Haha, I wish :)
Instead of visiting my family and eating way too much, I’d like to spend New Year Eve’s buying lots and lots and porn.
Good luck with the circle application,… if you do make it in, are you intending to make a book with carefull planning or some last minute scrambling?
