Why does it pain me to see all those Tsuruya figures sitting unbought. If only I could just go over there and buy 4 or 5. CURSE YOU LOW PAYING JOB AND COLLEGE SAVINGS! CURSE YOU!!!!
WOW!!!!and LOL!!!!!!!!!!! they have keroro and code geass and gundam[obvius] and etc. this place has almost everything @_@
Gaaah! I went into major moe mode!!! I love Asobit City!!! My eyes (LOL) nearly fell out last time I went there...
Can someone identify that Papermoon bunny doll? Obviously I have no money to even start thinking about buying her, but would like to know who she is and what series she is from if possible, thanks.
wai~!!! *heart heart heart* so much figures, so many to choose from yet so little budget lulz XDDD i so wanted the CC ad Kallen figures so much
Why cant American have 5 storys of anime!! dont really need the fifth but still!! oo yeah wondering, why are they selling panties at that shop, cant they just walk into Victoria's secret and get some, or at least get it from a real girl... no want fake panties
"If you need something scary to put in front of your house to scare cats, pigeons and small children then you can find lots of stuff on the 5th floor." ROFL! I died at this, because it's so true. I would definitely have to avoid the 5th floor, but I think I will need to spend great amounts of time everywhere else, and bring lots of money. XD
WOW awesome store, and yes, potemayo good d(*_*) I really liked that series,it made me laugh a lot, I strongly recommend it.
A real treat this post has been... I imagined myself being dropped there in person for a day... What a happy feeling. Only a good flogging would remove my grin. Let's see, how can I make the time to get there this year?
would like to ask.. how do you take photos from these shop most of the time..(or maybe because of your popularity? lol) it's because i did remember seeing no photography sign within most akihabara shops.. and that's the main reason i didn't any of them though my previous trip.. quite sad though..
whoaaaa~ imagine if that kind of store opened in here.....so much stuff that I want! no store so cool like that in my country though..... T_T
dude, I must have visited during the wrong time period (Christmas/New Years). I found NO Unicorn Gundam models, and none of puchi Haruhi Nendroid.
my god, when i go to japan i'm going to visit that store and sprend over a 1000 dollars in that one store. you are sooooo lucky
Ah..Asobit City..I can seriously recall some of those camera angles in my own browsing when I visited Tokyo for my last week in Japan. In fact, I think I may have stood in front of those cosplay outfits holding up a Haruhi cosplay top. Natsukashii na...Thanks for that! ^^
If I go to Japan sometime in the future that's where I'm gonna go... orz
Wow I don't know anything about Gundam action figures or any other figures in general. I guess I suck as an otaku....Oh well time for some research? What type of figures should I start with? Someone give me some advice.....
By the time I came here on my last day, I already ran out of money ._. Also, I can't imagine anyone answering "No" to the poll today (ﾟДﾟ)
Potemayo is a very funny anime!!! I recommended it for those who likes to laugh!! you wont regret it!!!
Danny, Potemayo truly is awesome. Granted, it's not for everyone but its minimalistic and cutting comedy is just so unique. I REALLY want to buy that Potemayo plushie. The best one of the lot IMO.
Wow, what a store >.
They're... Selling Touhou Cosplay!!?! Excuse me while I calm down. I just wonder what other Touhou stuff they sell there. Also that doll's head is the scariest thing I've seen all day and will haunt my nightmares.
Eh? Something's not right with my comment O.O, doesn't display everything. Anyway, sorry repost ^^; "Wow, what a store...I could spend one whole day there, and probably still won't get enough of it XD"
I could spend the whole day (window) shopping without stopping...
Nice photos! I always make a beeline to the 4th floor! Gotta love the girlie figures... I take it you are on good terms with the manager there then? The only photo i had the guts to take in there was a sneaky one of the life-size papermoon bunny girl. I just couldnt resist... You gonna do a lengthy photo tour of Lammtarra next? Pleeeeaaase...? :-P
I could walk around in there for hours and not feel tired. That Lancelot box there looks larger than the one I've seen in Singapore though. But that all for CG:LOTR? I was hoping they'd have a Guren Mk. 2... ... ToT
This place is like heaven to me... So many cute figures, so little money >.
Awesome place. I'll keep that place in mind when I visit Japan.
I seriously did gather drool in my mouth now... damnit. I want such awesome shops in germany... thats just NOT fair... *cries* Reminds me, i need to look for a nice leather case for my NDS tho. :( With an Anime motive it would be so much much better... i wonder if there are laptop softcases with Anime relaed stuff on it too? Like those neoprene thing i had for my MacBook Pro, that was really awesome - just did lack the anime design! Now i could use something stylish for my PC Laptop... (well i put it as it is in my Japanese High School Bag atm i got from J-List *lovelove*)
Must go to Japan....now...drool
Toradora=WANT DaCapo=WANT ToHeart=WANT I WANNA GO SO BAD DAMMIT!!! And I wanna paper moon doll just cos they're so pretty....
Woah case of kamen riders! I want!
*this is a gentle reminder to danny to finish his MG wing zero* ^^;
anyway what's on the first floor? me love floor 2 to 4. ('~')
Definitely a shop I must visit when I go to Akibahara in a couple years, I think I'll stay in the Gundam and figure floors, will probably take a peek at the eroge floor XD
Its stores like this that make me wish I was rich. I would totally go nuts in a place like that and clean them out.
I didnt see a single thing that didnt catch my attention...though I probably wouldn't get too far from the gundam section ^^; Im actually looking for some Gundam 00 models any suggestions to where I can get one?
I needed a restraining order by my friend in that store else I would have gone bankrupt in 10mins (still bought 3 figures though). Time spent was mainly on the 4th floor. Come to think of it I didn't visit the other 2 Asobit City stores in Akiba lol. I want to go back there again!!
must go there... *slowly reaches toward Japan *dies
How can someone say no to there being nothing they would like in that store o.O!
Definitely want most of that stuff... Especially those Geass girls. Also been trying to get that Geass DS case for ages. Sold out everywhere... T_T
Jesus friggin' Christ! I must visit this place someday if i ever make it to Akihabara. This is overwhelming. All the To Heart 2 Another Days figures, all the Moetan figures, and especially the Max Factory Tsuruya-san. Good work.
i would love to have some of those Gundam models, I never tried them before, but kind of want to. We don't have anything like this where I live, well now that I think about it, there might be one store close by which I never been to that might carry some figures. Off to the store...
Heads up, Danny! You can order the Figma Haruhi on HLJ now without the game, but she's like two times more expensice than Yuki.
omg thats a freaking cool shop >< wish there was once at my place =S
I really don`t care about gundams,sorry, but some figures, like the Code Geass intersting me!! So is true that Tsuruya is unpopular!? I can`t understand this japanese people... Who can resist a smile with fang like that!?
GUNDAMS. WANT. So much stuff I want from there. D:
lol, why do they sell pantsu.
Great! I don't know how long my credit card would survive there. About 3 minutes I think.
I don't know why Tsuruya is unpopular, I think she's the best character lol, fang FTW ^^. Potemayo was a great anime to watch, possibly the best part was Guchuko-chan, they should make a 1/1 scale version of her instead of Potemayo; everyone would buy Guchuko-chan.
GUNDAM!!! ^^ I always heard this shop was filled with lots of goodies. Thanks for the photos Danny. Now I can't wait to have a visit. Most likely I will start out on the 2nd floor and just walk around and look look look. When i stop back the second day then I will spend money. I like to do my shopping that way. I see the new metal GFF. Wondering if I should get this one as well... It would be nice if they did something new for the metal GFF line. Oh heck Danny, I just wish I had some extra time to think about building a model. Looking forward to a post on the MG Wing when you get it completed. The colors you want to use should look good. Oh man, look at all the figures... drool... I've reduced my figure collect down to nothing. I really want to start buying some new ones... Really!? Dolls in the Mirai Inc. office. How will you get work done? ^^; Seriously, that would probably be interesting thing to have in the office. Something one probably doesn't see often.
I would go check out the Gundams! The stores seem great, would love to check it out.
See any goodies you want from Asobit Chara City? I WANT MOST OF IT!!!
Danny you're making e want to go back to Japan even more and more : < I almost forgot all the good deals there are.
Good things yes, ugly.. YES. :P Anyways, I'm glad I don't live there... bankrupcy is an issue.
OMG! YES!! This is my favourite store in the whole of Akihabara!!! I love Gamers, Animate, etc but this store, is my favourite store...simply because it was my saviour. When i went to Akiba, i went everywhere looking for gurren lagann merchandise, and everywhere was either soled out, or just didn't have any. But on my circular tour of Akiba, i was starting to think i would never find anything gurren-lagann related, then i found this store, on walking up to the second floor, and seeing all the mechs, i was like "i must be in luck here, surly" and sure enough, on the second aisle, there it was, a whole section, devoted to gurren lagann, naturally, i was soo happy, i went into overload, and bought everything there was at the time, all the figures they had in stock, t-shirts, mugs, wrist bands, and the trading figure card boxes (x6), i then got to the till and realised, i hadn't checked the prices, btu i didn't care, and it came to a very reasonable 50,000 Yen, i also got a free drill for buying soo much. But now there is soo much more stuff there, soo much more stuff i want and need, especially that Yoko book. But it is set, i am returning in easter of 2009, so i shall fill up on gurren lagann stuff then ^_^
I didn't know Aso Bit City had QUITE so much goodness in it - must go there next time I visit! ("Give me Haruhis!")
I need to get there, immdediately please t_t Those modelkits caught my attention. Didn't finish my first kit yet but I'll order the next ones today ^^
I'd definitely buy a lot of stuff if I were to go there. Your comments were really amusing at times too.
you went dressed up?
Hey Danny since you've mentioned ABC I'd need help from you about it. According to the guide book(s) I had, there was apparently a gunji/military branch of Asobit City in Akihabara, where there's supposed to be discount on every 15th of the month. I've tried to get there twice, but it's always closed. Is that branch is there, or it's moved/gone?
I'm glad to live far away from a store like this. Living anywhere near would be way to costly. ^^
Man, Its a good thing, I am all the way here & not there. I would have used my kids' milk money to buy these stuff. Then the wife would also buy her stuff. Naughty Naughty
