Akiba is always a stop. Shopping too for new art books and DVDs. Too bad the best studios dont make All-region DVDs. = ( . Last time I went to Akiba was on a Sunday, and they closed down traffic for the day. Do they always do that? I also remember aspiring idols and maids, and maids and more maids. I remember walking more up and down than to and fro. I miss Tokyo so much. I love these kind of posts, makes me feel like I am back there again. I like the food posts too, wheres a good mexican joint in Tokyo? I only remember one that was awesome and it was in Hiroo/Ebisu. New article idea Mr.Choo? Tokyo international food places?

Danny, is it still too late to apply for the translating position? To me it looks like easy work, and I have had experience translating the 12 Kindoms novels into English and have JLPT level 1 certification. Can you please give me the okay to still try to apply?
Sorry but applications are closed orz
I've been wondering for a while now Danny, what does "orz" mean?
Here is the link if you want to know what does "orz" means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orz
Ooooh. Thanks. Now I see it. I thought it was like a anagram for o'rlly or something.
I see! A fictional race in the Star Control Universe. Interesting.
LOL orz
I would definitely buy that stuff when I get there. Hey man its part of the Akihabara experience, in fact I believe its wrong if you don't. Although I must admit, I dread the security check part when I head back into the states.....oh the looks.... Oh Danny My only question is in this Image (I am sure you know my question): http://www.zou136.com/uploader/Images/whoisshedanny.JPG
これです http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=h_244sama011/
Mmmm Good Stuff, Thank you Danny!
Wow. Abundant in HEALTH CARE MATERIALS. ^^
One of the best posts EVAR!
One of the best posts EVAR!
Ah crap, I must of gotten so excited I double posted. Sorry.
LOL who wouldn't get excited?!
How true! I was looking forward to this post for a while now. Hopefully there'll be more in the future.
question how does one buy posters there? i see loads of them on the walls in stores but i dont see any on shelf for sale
you should try a store called mandarake they basically sell everything new and old posters included if you stay in their store too long they will probably put a price tag on you
I picked up lots of small giveaway posters in Akiba itself, they were mainly advertisments for games, figures and 2D healthcare material, but the artwork is wonderous.
Akiba is great for health
OOOHHH Nervana! i wouldn't leave for a week! ah, and this one..the name of the series, i like the line art! http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2758422491/in/photostream/
if i look at to much of this stuff my wife will cut my dolphin and set it free...even though my dolphin and i dont like 2 b apart.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2759267780/sizes/o/ This caught my eye beyond everything else, Love Selection by Kisaragi Gunma manga being made into Anime! First I've heard of it, but I want! I was last in Akiba in Dec 2003/Jan 2004ish, so it wasn't nearly as filled with ecchi merchandise as it is now back then. Did most of my shopping at random scattered Animate stores throughout Tokyo
Actually next time maybe will pick up some :P we wandered into one of the ecchi buildings by accident before thinking maybe they might have some regular stuff but nope, floor after floor of titillating stuff lol it felt that inside the building the temperature is hotter also :P
accidently wandered... u so funny. Are u sure it was the building that was hot?
let's say so was my face :P
When I was in Japan, the only ero stuff I got was doujin and some magazines. Not because I was embarassed or something, mainly because I didn't knew much of the H universe. :P If I went there today, I'd prolly buy tenga, dakimakuras, more doujin (though this time I'd buy specific authors, not only pick random stuff), and whatever more I've been dreaming of, downloading and bookmarking. :P When I was in Japan the only anime stuff I was prepared to buy was Artbooks... and I didn't find some of them. Out of stock or rare stuff. Still, spent too much money on it. I'd probably had to be filthy rich to buy everything I wanted now... I'm kinda sad for not knowing japanese to work for Danny, but on the other hand, I'm kinda glad I didn't knew japanese when I was in Japan. The amount of eroge and other stuff I would have wanted to buy if I knew japanese... overwhelming.
Danny must have some pull with this store to take all those pics. I'm sure they would have kick my pervy butt out a long time ago. I won't ask how he got that pull... and what the hell are those brown things??? Yikes!!
Yeah, are you just stealthy with a camera or did they actually let you take those pics in the store? I was there yesterday, but didn't want to cause any scenes, so I just snapped a quick pic inside an elevator when nobody was looking (aside from the darn security camera).
Mmmm... do not want.. U_U Lol and after seeing all this, the only thought that came to mind was: Who's more clever? The buyer, or the maker? Lol.. ^_^;;
Getting too much ecchi stuffs from Comiket already. Will be raiding Akihabara extensively starting Monday >_<
Must... visit...
Akiba is definitely on my visit list!:D
I really need to visit Japan one day.
