Good guide ^^ I made a pretty decent one myself not too long ago: http://www.figure.fm/post/en/16032/Otaku+Shopping+in+Tokyo+A+Guide+by+ClearTranquil.html
I just submitted. But I wanted to know, is it okay that there are other people in some of the photos or is this a strict "professional photos of only you" kind of a thing?
I remember finding a Wendy's in Ikebukuro and being all excited...then I tried it. It's not bad in Japan but compared to how much better their McDonalds is compared to ours it seemed to be worse than the Wendy's over here. (hope that makes sense)
I see the person dressed as Mio is still working there. I was just there in April-May and saw her as Haruhi. :D Apparently she was VOCALOID Rin too...too bad I missed out cuz I cosplayed KAITO in Akihabara just for the heck of it.
Well, looks like I found my next purchase. I'm sure someone will make a post when pre-orders open. (I'm still waiting for the GSC Saber Lily statue to come out!)
Quite honestly I don't like this design. As a huge fan of the PSP since its release, I feel the first priority should have been the internal memory, followed by a second analog nub. I think this design, although more portable than its big brothers, c...
I miss Japan so much now... Great video Danny. I wish to go to Akiba and see this in person one day. (for the filming of Cakeyaki girls I missed you by 2 days~)
Ouch that's expensive. Most of the guitars I saw were 300-600 yen...with drums going for no more than 1500. I really should have bought them to open up more possibilities to pose my 25 figmas. How I ended up with 25 in only a year is beyond me.
So appropriate and SO awesome. I was considering buying figma-sized instruments from gachapon stores in Japan but...I didn't...I couldn't justify it enough. >< *regrets*
I think it's important to note by now that I posted a different picture in the original which can be found here: http://blog.cleartranquil.com/2009/05/reminiscence-of-japan.html The picture above needs more explanation. It's important you realize thi...
Toranoama Ikebukuro branch. We lucked out and stumbled upon them the day they were re-released to be in stock again. They're sold out everywhere again. They retailed for 2650 yen, now private sellers are selling them in excess of 17000 yen in some pl...
Yui and Mio? I think I'll have to get both of these... Unless figma versions come out as well then I might opt for those instead. I've got a softer spot for figma.
*checks to see if it's April 1st yet* Oh my gosh...it's not. I cannot believe this is happening. I'm SO excited. This is such an honour for DC AND the artist who created her. Congrats Danny! ...now if only I could get a figma of my own original char...
The last two times I went to Tokyo I went to Hakone...and I'll be going there again in 4 months! It's really nice to see it with the snow! The last times I went were in the spring so everything was in blossom.
Best part is you can SELECT POWER! What'll it be? Influence people's minds? Time influence? Power to hear thoughts? What'll it be? Lol...j/k...but really that'd be awesome. I would like these contacts but I don't plan on cosplaying a Geass-user.
As a Canadian who is going to Japan (likely bringing back doujins as well) this scares me quite a bit. I recently returned from Japan in April with alot of doujins in my bag and didn't get questioned (thankfully). If it's more strict now I don't know...
