A look into an otaku’s room
As some people might know, I just moved house a few days ago. I finally finished unpacking today and I decided to take some pictures.
The entrance to doom and horror
Warning: Pictures may be extremely disturbing to the uninitiated.
Rei and Mana
Turn right (although no one in the right mind would do that since you’d be facing the wall) after stepping through the door and you’ll see two large Evangelion posters that identify me as a level 12 Eva fanboy. Mana is hawt. That’s a not-for-sale promotional poster for the PS1 version of Girlfriend of Steel. I found it at Mandarake Shibuya for ￥200. Yay.
The lair
Right across the door is where I spend 90% of my waking hours, excluding school.
Generally I do my stuff on the main monitor. The secondary monitor is mostly for IRC, Winamp and some misc. widgets.
The rig below is a Pentium 3 with a dead HDD. I was using it to run Linux, but it’s dead now. At least until I move a HDD over.
A Coolmaster case. It’s so cool that the PVC figures above it have not melted yet. In fact, it’s so cool that there’s a penguin sitting on it.
Louise stands above my Creative subwoofer.
Behind is the promotional poster for Maaya Sakamoto’s “Kazemachi JET” single. I have the one for Yunagi LOOP too, but it was damaged when I took it down during the packing. I failed as a Maaya fanboy. orz
I have no idea why the penguin is there. It just is.
My wallet’s coin compartment has a huge hole, so I took out all my coins. That’s a Mahora school crest on the keychain.
When she’s not on a holiday, Saber sits on my desk. Gao.
Behind Saber is a wallscroll of Tama-nee. It’s a promotional item from Messe Sanoh that came with the limited edition copy of ToHeart2 XRATED. I bought it from Lashinbang in Ikebukuro for ￥2,000.
And now we come to the interesting part…the shelves…
The storage area belong Kasumi is where I dump everything that can’t be displayed. I should invest more in displayable stuff, like posters.
I seem to be missing some books. Oh well. Maybe they got lost in one of the bajillion boxes during the move. Hopefully they’ll turn up one day…
My “study” desk. Do you see any studying materials around? I think not.
My laptop. It’s trying and failing to boot Linux off a Live CD. Sigh…
My phone charging. HARUHIISM FOREVER!!!
My HP printer and, uh, some CDs… Okay this is getting lame. Let’s wrap up with some shots of the posters and pencil boards that are haphazardly pasted all over the place.
Melons are nice
The princesses
The girls with guns
Setsuna-chan!!! Too bad the game sucked
This phone card costs more than any single poster
So…uh…yeah, I like Lacus
A brave issue of Megami gave up its life
Pretty bad picture due to the poor lighting (that or I just suck)
And finally…
FEEEEEEEEEEENA!!!!!!
Everyone knows that I have a thing against displaying posters with folds, but Feena is an exception. :3
BTW my room is defended by a USB missile launcher. So don’t even think about it!

ERM MIND I ASK, where is your bed?
December 20th, 2006 at 4:57 pm
Real otakus don’t need beds.

LOL this is because he has two rooms. He’s a big boy now.
Btw your cabinets are nice but a horrible colour. And you have so much merchandise you gay fanboy!

“Real otakus don’t need beds” - so true, I usually sleep on the floor or the love sac that I have. Anyways, your room is nice. I especially like the green table/shelve/cabinet set. I could use one of those.

Hey I have those Da Capo mangas as well. I should take pictures of my room, once I get it cleaned up.

i sense neck aches in the morning
December 20th, 2006 at 6:46 pm
Lol, are you always this tidy or is it just for the pictures? ;)
(Err not that I’m that way. Nope, not at all.)
December 20th, 2006 at 6:54 pm
I am…always this tidy.

ORZ OK THAT WAS a LIE.
I just moved in remember? :P

Hi DarkMirage,
LOL at USB missile launcher. Now you need a USB targetting laser and you have an auto-defense system!
No one touches Mana! XD

The color combination of your room is considerably *flattering* in otaku society …
December 20th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Oooo I love your printer.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:29 pm
It’s the most organized otaku room I’ve ever seen.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:29 pm
my god…
