Culture Japan: Wolfheinrich's Otaku Room Video Tour (Edited)
I have finally managed to shoot a little video tour of my room, hope you would enjoy it. Due to the availability of equipment, I can only shoot a 5 minutes continuous video, may be I should have split them up into separate segments if there is still time to do it.

I am actually in a middle of the "August Four" Photo shoot :P
And to top off the room video tour, a bonus preview of the upcoming August Four photo shoot!
May I lay down here? xD
My daughters are actually quite generous, you are welcome to rest on their laps.
Censored, LOL!
XD
Dive in harem~
I have to make that dive every night, it's like my job ^^;
Nice room! =)
Thanks~
I like this lighting. Does it work well to show the figures?
It works just like the way you see it in photo, to overcome the lack of ambient light getting into the shelves, I installed these LED strips.
Great way to cover up the back of something you don't want to see the back of.
Indeed ^^;
Now that I know the lay out of your room, I can easily storm in, grab what I want and blitz out faster than you can say "defenstrate".
Snatch and run tactics? =P
Perhaps, but Coffee should be mindful of what else I have in the room.
You haven't seen everything yet ^^;
Saw it earlier on Twitter and I must saw it's indeed an impressive otaku haven. ^^
Like how you arranged everything to maximize usable space. The led lighting for the figure and Dollfie displays is excellent.
You should have done a Hikari Gendo style pose while at your desk though. =P
That's the idea! Maximum space utilization! Ah, I would have done a Gendo pose like I did on Otacool if my DK5 isn't limited to 5 minutes of continuous recording ^^;
Nice room. Quite a lot of figures you have XD
Not counting the figures I have hidden in the secret room.
The figure dungeon? XD
The secret room is for storing stuff that's too eroge for general audience!
You have KOS-MOS! Is she from Volks or E2046?
Not from Volks.
nice room :D
Thanks~
Nice Room Wolf^^ many figures there! I wonder how many i'll have in 10 years at the rhythm I'm buying them lol, I like the way you put Kiriha and her friends there hehehe. the lights in the shelves are Ikea right? xD very good idea!
^^ Thanks~
Hehe, that is my dream pose for the August Four! I was in the middle of my photo shoot XD, I have a very ambitious plan for this photo shoot and I have many things to do still!
Yeah, those are LED strips from Ikea.
nice room
feena in every corner of the room
:D
But of course! Feena Fam Earthlight is one of my top bishoujo, who has released more Dakimakura than most of my harem!
me too
i'm getting jealous
XD
I like this 2, what scale are they? look huge.
Awesome room ^_^
1/4 Scales, both are from Good Smile Company
Nice sword^^
I keep one or two myself in case someone like coffeebug comes barging in to steal my girls XD
Yup yup, got to have it ready just in case of intruders.... so I can execute my 悪即斬 Aku Soku Zan....
Very nice room Wolf! a feast for the eyes! did it take long to get the August girls to balance like that?
Thank you ^^;
Actually, this is one of the easier to pose to make~ the dream pose I want to make that eventually led to the adoption of Estel and Erika ^^;
Must be a lovely place to fall asleep and wake up in :D
Oh, nice to see someone else of my age who likes dollfies too :) Allways thought I was the only past-35 guy who likes them :)
Now, let's get all the fact together. According to a very reliable source of information, Dollfie Dream's target customer is actually "Japanese men" with disposable income. That's why majority of these Dollfie Dream are sculpted after popular bishoujo characters and eroge game heroines. I think it makes perfect sense that we like them ^^;
I may be the only 30something female with dollfies though . . .
Nah~ that's not true. Dollfie Dream is art, anyone can appreciate them regardless of age and gender ^^;
"(japanese) men with disposble income". = Youngsters can't afford them, women are (nearly) unintrested.
LOL! You know, you're so right :D Never thought of that.
I wouldn't over generalize this though, as we have a fair number of female collectors here in figure.fm; since anime characters are liked by people of all ages and gender.
But let's take a step further, doll collecting is traditionally regarded as feminine art. Why are grown men running around with 60cm doll? To me, they are highly articulated vinyl base bishoujo figure with inner plastic skeleton frame.
That indeed ^^;
very nice sofa for the girls :3c
Thanks~
Rei in Eva Armour? that's like, awesome.
She is about 8 years old ^^;
cool room! your on my watch list on DA; wish i had a DD
Thanks for stopping by ^^;
no problem buddy :D
really cool room you have there. ^^
Thanks~ :3
Very nice! I think you might be a contender for the "Most Stuff in a Single Space" contest.
I knew you had a lot of dollfie dreams, but damn you have a lot of dollfie dreams!
^^; I have been known to pack a lot of stuff within my visual range; out of sight, out of mind. It's easy to forget what you have if you don't see them everyday.
Great to see your room again. Huhu I also want Asuka bedsheets XD
Your room is always a something to see Bro! Always something to see.
Thank you bro ^^;
If you ever plan to get rid of this one, I call dibs LOL!
I doubt it :P
Whoa, cool
Thank you~
MOTHER OF GOD!!! Wow.
you are a cool guy! i enjoyed this video!!
Thanks ^^;
Hey Wolf, nice sunglasses! =p
Wow! did I ever mention that your room looks like a maze? An amazing maze of awesome otaku goodness!
I also spotted a 2nd Sailor Saturn!! You have 2!
:P I had an inspiration over the weekend and that's how I envisioned it :P
Well, to tell you the truth, it is a maze... the pathway all connected up to look like the greek letter mu :P
Actually, I have 3 Sailor Saturn :P
What is that massive White Base...?
It's 1/400 scale White Base.
Wow..the awsomeness makes my eyes water T.T Excellent collection..wish I had that much. Grarf.
Small bed and quite a small room... Though it's probably roomy if there weren't all those shelves, right? XD I think my main problem is that my bed's too big, so I don't have a lot of room to do anything >_<
Well yeah, it's just a single bed because anything else would take up too much space. The room looks small because of the way I arranged things. It would have looked bigger if I rotate the desk toward the wall but I won't be able to see the TV thus defeating the purpose of being to keep as many things within my sight as possible.
This is where all the inserts of Hikari Photo Studio are stored.
Awesome cabinet displays! Very impressive collection!
WOW how cool the best room ever! ^ ^
My room is under construction I hope it looks right when i am finished. My future ''maybe'' room has fluffly white carpet in it 0_0 So its going to be hard to pull of the look i want with my traditional Korean Furniture and my anime stuff which looked beautiful on hard wood floors.
I cant pull up the white carpet because we are going to rent the place ''maybe''. I love the place and it is close to the Korean Mall But the white carpet is going to take some getting used to. ^ ^
beautiful and nice dreams.
