Are the Baystars out at this point? Or can they run the table and advance?
>>5798139
There's always still a chance.
Baystars beat Carp, 3:0.
Fighters beat Hawks, 4:1.

>>5799154
Whoever is bell has a pretty sick job. hang around during baseball games and media events, pose and act like a child, repeat. i hope she is paid well
>>5800238
Mascots are a multi-billion dollar industry over there. There's a good chance she's paid better than the players.
>>5800238
I think the weather would be the worst part. Goofing around with dolls to make people want to buy them doesnt seem very tragic to me.
Frep you son of bitch dont even think about it
wait a minute, on closer inspection BB is the one playing grab ass and Frep is innocently holding one of those towel baner things
sorry Frep
threadly reminder to post cinnamon rolls each bump

>>5800368
How is that possible? Are you sure you're not exaggerating?
>>5815926
About Bell being paid more than the players? Possible exaggeration.
About mascots being a multi-billion dollar industry? All true.
From towns to businesses, the government, general goods, nearly everything in Japan has a mascot to represent it and along with it comes a lot of money making opportunities. You've got mascot design and suit manufacturing, acting classes specifically for mascot performers, merchandising, cameos, PR and social events and even just the mascot alone being a key tourist attraction for some places all tie in to make a very profitable and very thriving industry. A highly popular town mascot can bring in tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in a year alone, just from the people who visit the town simply to see them and the cash they spend in the local stores. There's even a yearly event called the Yuru-chara Grand Prix which is a giant popularity contest for the mascots in the country and winning it is a major thing for the mascot owners.
There's good money to be made wearing a fursuit inJjapan.
>>5816096
Oh my god, please tell me there's a version of Retsuko raging out.
>>5816129
what is that image from?
>>5816129
Not that I've seen, sorry.
In other news, I missed today's matches.
Carp beat Baystars, 8:7.
Hawks beat Fighters, 5:2.
Carp needs to win one more match to knock Baystars out, Hawks and Fighters are both tied at two wins each.
>>5816406
another set of shitty results
>>5816433
They made it all the way to the semi-finals. That's something to be proud of.
>>5816146
Aggressive Retsuko, a series of short cartoons about a red panda living her stressed out life.
>>5816547
what is she a mascot for?
google just gives results for the anime
>>5816574
She's just a character in the show, not part of anything bigger.
no halloween gear this year :(
I was about to shitpost but then I realized I'm on /npb/ and I love /npb/.
>>5817678
We love you too, buddy.
How do you tell if there's a guy inside a girl mascot?
>>5817961
There's that image I saw a while ago of someone's tights but no bloomers. Anyone here has it?
>>5817961
Legs, arms, and chest
The npb girls all have cheerleader builds
>>5818040
If you mean this, I don't think it is actually legit
>>5817961
There are mascots that I question, but the baseball ones seem pretty straight forward
>>5817961
1. Check shoulder to hip ratio.
2. Check for presence of tiddies.
3. Ignore both and let the dick have what the dick wants.
>>5816096
>Japan will never be so cynical and ironic as to have a fat man wearing a sign that says 'I am a cute mascot' and just being treated as he's doing ~*(KAWAII)*~ things when he's just standing around looking sort of upset or maybe drunk

They did their best.
It's Carp v. Fighters now.

I dont know if Fighters can beat Carp

Just discovered this little interesting thing. Not mascot related, but it's about that new Miku VR game in regards to censoring out pantyshots: http://www.kitakubu.co/2016/10/censoring-in-hatsune-miku-vr/
I also found a PNG to use if anyone's interested in mucking around in Photoshop: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CutXVQsUEAA6Ic4.png:orig
>>5836625
fuck i just got back from the shops with a cinnamon roll. i was staring at it in the store trying to remember why i wanted one so bad. now i remember it's because i was browsing this thread last night
>>5838529
ha why even give her a skirt then? she dances in the game, is that obnoxious bar going to show up every time she does a twirl or kick?
Just gotta wait for the mascot vr game on pc
then wait a few more years if you want any of it translated
>>5836591
>>5836953
very nice
>>5838529
Ironically, instead of preventing sexualization by the type of people who would buy the game just for that, it's making it completely unavoidable for everyone by having a notice pop up every time her panties would be slightly visible to remind you that you could've seen them.
They should've just did what Nintendo did with SSB4 and had underneath the skirt be just an indistinct shadowy area. Or just acknowledge that the only reason anybody would buy the game is to see panties.
Now we just need NPB VR so we can look at mascot pantsu.
I want a mascot roguelite.
vr mascot rapelay
>>5852222
Different mascots as classes with different stat focuses/moves, uniforms and padding as armor, different strength bats and balls/tshirt cannons.
You must traverse varying levels of stadium seating, battling rowdy fans and rival mascots on your journey ever downwards to reach the Field of Dreams and your place in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
>>5852222
oh look at that
So... Any of you enthusiasts thought about collbaorating on a mascot-themed visual novel?
>>5855466
>implying anybody here can write or draw
What sort of ideas did you have in mind?
>>5856047
A VN is only as good as its art and we'd probably be hard pressed to find dedicated artists that would do the designs justice.
>>5856167
With or without outcries about how dangerously furry everyone looks?
>>5856047
Katawa Shoujo was an /a/ project, not /b/. It also took five years to make, and only worked because it had a set team who knew to do things their way and reject most community input from people who had no idea what was needed to complete a project. It's a terrible metric to measure the feasibility of a project by because it took a lot more work than just "slapping it together" and everybody involved was sick of it by the time it was finished and glad to finally be free to never work on it again.
But a light and simple VN is certainly doable, even with the pitiably small amount of people who post in these threads. At the very least you'd need a writer, either an artist or some decent existing art to steal, and preferably somebody who has experience with Ren'Py or another VN engine.
Strip Arkanoid would mostly just need art. There are tons of customizable Breakout/Arkanoid engines online.

I want to caress Polly's thighs.
With my dick.
>>5855466
Only if the 'you sucked at getting any of the main routes' option is the Carps mascot.
That said, being an occasional dabbler in the fag-o-tree, Frep, BB, and Leo routes plz.

>>5868871
The series starts this weekend
>>5871306

>>5871668

>>5871668
It's a best-of-seven series. First team to win four matches wins the superb owl.

>lions and tigers and bears
oh my
but seriously what event is that? theres like mascots from 4 different teams
>>5880498
You've been drawing some wonderful art for these threads. It's greatly appreciated.
Anyone else follow the Local Hero scene? There's a lot of cute stuff going untapped.
>>5881254
Something about this seems familiar.
>>5881254
>Local Hero scene
Local Hero scene?
>>5882531
A lot of cities and businesses in Japan make their own Tokusatsu themed mascots as a means of promoting the local culture and values. Some have actually gotten so big that they've actually attracted the attention of well known people in the music and television industries and a couple have even become their own franchises.
>>5883110
That's pretty cool
Would you happen to have a Japanese Wikipedia link or something about it? I want to find out more
>>5885827

>>5896428
It's good to see Slyly finally found that special someone.
BB is power bottom
what did he mean by this
>>5891502
fuck it always feels weird seeing them in the rain with no umbrella
wouldnt the suit get mad heavy? plus it's probably not good for the fabric
>>5898096
It shouldn't get that heavy. The mask is just a layer of fur material attached to a fiberglass shell, so it's normally pretty light. If they're using the right material then the water should bead and roll off unless they get completely drenched but even then the added water shouldn't make much of a difference.
Getting those shoes full of water would suck though.

They also let them go out and perform in the snow, so the suits are most likely made to weather the elements without deteriorating significantly or being uncomfortable for the performer.
Some of these girls are flatter than Bell and even Kirara
>>5898576
thats super cool
i'd love to see her perform live in the snow someday
>>5898581
It's hard to grow boobs on a cheerleader worker and japanese diet. Besides, Bell's flatness is part of her charm.

>not collecting all the mascots
So does japan hire actual chicks to get into the female mascots or just skinny guys?
i wonder if they have like a dating thing exclusive for mascots [spoiler]they prbly scout for new people at furmeetups[/spoiler]
>>5902549
i think anon mentioned there being some kind of mascot academy so they probably look for people from there
>>5902549
I actually believe they are girls, since one anon mentioned the cheerleader build. They probably use the cheerleaders for the mascots
>>5903226
i havent seen girl mascots do anything particular cheerleader-esque like gymnastics or acrobatics
>>5903819
Polly and Honey lead their cheerleader squads. Bell also had the Straw B's but they don't seem to use them anymore.
>>5902549
They hire chicks and guys, of all ages and backgrounds. Anyone willing to put in the time and effort can get training as a mascot performer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKZOL8xn_Rs
>>5903819
Holy shit.
>>5902549
the npb girls are definitely girls.
Besides them, I've seen some mascots that are questionable.
>>5861665
