Had a meeting yesterday in Akihabara with Good Smile and eroge maker Circus who do the Da Capo series.
On the way back to the station, I spotted a bunch of maids, police and media folk. What on earth were they up to?
Akihabara (click to enlarge)
There are now over 80 maid related shops in Akihabara. Many of the maids have been stalked, touched and had up-skirt photos taken.
You also know that otaku hunting goes on in Akihabara too.

The gathering was to promote "safety/beat crime" in Akihabara - and there is no better way to attract media attention than having maids hand out fliers.

Might as well have a look at the other photos of Akiba that I took.
Lots of construction going on. This spot has been allocated to Mandarake (doujin, toy etc) and will be completed early next year.

Not a lot of people know as It has not been made public but Bic Camera will move in here - got the info from Akiba related sources ^^;

Construction everywhere. All the small guys are disappearing from Akiba.

That spot where the new sofmap is was a different building, then a crater, then a construction site each time ive been to japan over the last year and a half. Its finished already! Have they finished that construction by AsoBitCity yet? Wonder what it is...

Yeah - i nabbed a boatload of eroge flyers too - a good source of 2d 'eyes' without the embarrasment of basement hentai hangouts...

Nice to see a Mandarake showing up in the place it deserves to be! Their shibuya and Nakano stores are huuuuuge.

One thing for sure, Akiba never gets old.  I wonder if the place will become all electronics again...  It is a shame to see the small shops getting pushed out.

That's a shame if all the smaller otaku stores are shut down, you might get better deals there compared to the big companies.

Otaku Hunting and Maids reminds me of Akihabara@DEEP. Maybe @DEEP is on the move somewhere saving the otakus :D
*Akihabara@DEEP is a j-drama, with Battle maid Akira

If there's one thing that is certain in this new world is that small companies tend to "die" or be bought by big ones and then in its place a new one is born.

I really need to go there someday, making arrangements for 2010 ^^

I like to keep my money, that's my excuse for voting for stalk.

But being stalked by a maid is quite appealing...*fantasises*

i'd rather be hunted down by a gorgeous girl as long as it is for love, passion and affection rather than i owe her something XDDD

the face of akiba is slowly changing and i don't know if it's for the good or for the bad ^__^;;;;

never actually been to Akiba so I wouldn't really get all the changes (tho one of my friends saying that she went, gives me a fairly good idea)

Been to Den-Den town in Osaka tho. that was cool!!

Man, even in just the last couple years Akiba has changed so much. It's kind of unfortunate. It's become a lot more touristy.

These days it seems like all the real otaku action is moving westward, toward Nakano and Tachikawa. :P
