One of the things that is on the increase in Akiba is the amount of TV camera crews who can be seen here and there filming stuff that seems strange to them but normal for us - more pics from yesterday at Akiba Blog. UPDATE: Posting link to AkibaMap who also has photos from yesterday but you can actually see faces. On a different subject related to the photos, the Japanese Portrait Rights are being taken to the extreme - soon we wont be able to see faces of any kind on Japanese blogs at all...

Otakus are weird? You want to know what's strange? Normal people, yep that's right. I think we should create our own "race", one that is filled with otakus only. Whose with me? We'll show faces all over too without censorship. Wait, wouldn't it be hilarious if the censorship started applying to faces of anime characters? >.>

In finland there are these two rival cities, and every year there's an event where citizens from one city go to the border of the other and jump up and down to try and dislodge it from finland :D

Eventually, every photo placed on a blog will be censored to protect the rights of everything. "Uh oh, an ant was in the picture, censor it. Oh noes! That piece of paper could sue us for such focus on it, block it out!"

if you mean to remove mosaics then probably not.
(ID #170388) Posted on 2008/04/14 13:03
you watch too much CSI and FBI movies... i guess there are s/w that can reconstruct mosaic pictures by estimating the colors....but then again thats up too how rough the mosaic is..

for images i don't think there is one...but for videos there are hardware based solutions to that but they only work up to a certain extent. ^^

Might as well not post the picture at all, if they're going to censor everything :/

usually when the media gets involved, things like this tend to go overboard... i guess the normal folk are just camera shy and are using this as an excuse to not have their ugly mug plastered on tv or the net...

Mirai is so cute in the new pose... Anyways, that's my dream job, nowadays. Being able to go to Akiba and make articles about the strange new trends and musings. Only it wouldn't be strange to me.

Whats wrong with the media? DOn't they know that this has to be best part of ambition in otakus.
