Dakimakuras anyone?

That purple hair one is awesome... I love purple hair. :)

Lol, I have a thing for very long hair for some reason.

I'm gonna be getting the Asami too, not yet decided on the Masazumi one too. Lots of things I want in april already.. ;< Why won't you get them til June?

I have dedicated myself to not obtaining anything that's not ero, so I'll be passing on them. I'll be a pauper if I buy everything I fancy.>_

I'm mostly in the same boat. ^^

SMJ just got my Evening Call Kyouko in; last I read, it was updated to ship mid-February while Sena was delayed to March first. So I'm not sure if they'll end up receiving Sena in a day or two, of if she has been delayed as well. Guess we'll see, but just wanted to give you the heads up so you're not wondering about her. :P

Said the dude with 2 PS Vitas and 4 3DS units. ;)

Anyone ever buy from this seller before:

I am a little curious about the Urushihara cover I bought from him having that sort of lazy censoring. Urushihara usually only covers his works with mild mosaics.

Yeah, bought my Sena blanket from him and a couple of other things in the past I'm pretty sure. Will let you know when I get mine in a few months, but I'd probably trust the seller.

Ha, I'm exactly the opposite >.<
I have dedicated myself to not obtaining anything that is ero.. It's awkward enough for me to have a dakimakura, it's another story altogether to have a dakimakura.

Maybe when I have my own room or kick out my room mate lol.

Well, compare to covers, I could buy 2 Vitas for what I paid for Miku, and those machines last for years while covers I get them like 4 or more a month.>_>

I bought stuff from wiz_madsan, my B&W Mio cover was from him. I had some other stuff from him too, can't remember though.
About the mosaic thingy, my QUeens Blade Tomoe cover from ura doesn't have any mosaic.

Perhaps, but not all covers from all circles abide by the same rule set.

Do you still have the auction link? I looked through his recent sale history and I can't find the feedback left for it the specific auction (assuming you used SMJ, Rinkya, or Yokatta.)

Anyhow, there are a few possibilities:

1. It's legit and that specific cover was censored. - Lots of things could determine this. Not knowing when both the covers came out (yours and Zengar's), he definitely could have either eased up on censoring as time went on or reversed his position. It could also depend on the "source" of each cover; if the Tomoe was a work he put out on his own and your cover was sold through a magazine, then I could definitely see why yours was censored and his wasn't.

2. It's a bootleg. - The seller you asked about is definitely selling some legit goods. It's possible I guess that he has un/knowingly sold bootlegs, but I don't know.

Well, throughout all the circles, Marks and Ankou have been selling uncensored stuff so yah.

Not sure specifically what Kobun is referring to in his quote of your post, but to me it looks like he's saying not every cover is going to be $600+ (to afford two Vitas.)

Circles abiding by the same rule set, dunno what that has to do with covers being pricy.

Yeah, that's what made me think it at first too. But if it was regarding censored covers, it doesn't really make sense to mention circles when it's the same artist in question (his Urushihara cover and your Urushihara Tomoe.)

In defense of the pricing, Ankokoubou covers are almost always expensive on YJA, with few a few exceptions; whereas not all other circles achieve such a tremendous markup on YJA.

I am referring to censorship. Shashin is pretty much spot on with what I am getting at:



This particular Urushihara cover is from a magazine, so their potential restrictions could have resulted in greater censorship regulations to be placed into effect. But then again to play my own devil's advocate, it is a larger censorship job than I've seen on Urushihara works, and isn't quite consistent with other censorship jobs I've seen placed on his works. But I digress, this could be a result of the mag's guidelines. It did come packed with the paper slip, so that was a little consoling. ;)

Anyhow, here is the URL to the auction:

Here are shots of the cover:









Upon looking at it again (only second time I've really looked at it) it isn't too bad. It's primarily the back side that really steams me though as it's so glaringly obvious.

EDIT: Oh, and 100-page celebration! And now we dance!

Which is waste, because the cover is really nice.

Now my Yokkata stuff finally came in. After almost 1 decade.>_>
Their packing is crappy as hell.

What the heck is with the Japanese snack included anyway.~_~

Evening Call Sena should be shipping the 13th.

That's such an awesome wallscroll! Wish I had seen that as that would be a definite get. I love wallscrolls and about to pin up a few more Megami posters on my wall. :)

My Yokatta package was packed good. Being as Yokatta isn't a retailer like AmiAmi, I didn't expect it to be packed like chain store would. Though it was only 2 items, so kind of hard to pack it wrong. :P

damn ZZ i fucking envy you, i want that sena scroll lol
