ART - Actar in Akihabara

The first of possibly a number of videos, chronicling my experince in the land of Anime to Figures and beyond. (^.^)

What better way to start than to show you guys a snippet of my time in Akihabara - The fabled land of Otaku... (Day 1 and 2 of my trip)

This video focuses more on the stores of Akihabara and proves that Akihabara really is, Otaku heaven.

While the video only shows the inside of Radio Kaikan, more details of the places and the various stores I visited, like Gamers, Toranoana, Animate and more, along with accompanying pictures, can be seen over at my blog. (^.^)

"So there I was, relaxing in a doujin shop in Akiba, sorting through the loli ero-manga and wondering which of the catgirl sex/dating games to buy, when this dude came in with a video camera! I barely had time to hide my face behind the deflated futa body pillow I was carrying! x_x; I hope nobody sees me!"

[Actar576295]

Thanks to Anime, I can speak fluent, but basic, Japanese.

@actar I'm 13 I really want to go to Japan. I'm slowly and I mean SLOWLY learning Japanese. I really want to visit places like ikebukuro Shinjuku Hokkaido and other cool places any recommendations on places I should visit first im a HUGE fan of a bunch of animes.

i went when i was like 12 or something and i remember the station exit with some very tanned lady boys .i looked through a few stores but i had no knowledge of proper anime or odoku culture. i was merely just looking around at a few toys and games. such a wasted opportunity :( i must go back.

[MattCat8]

@Actar576295 how exactly did you learn, im teaching myself and im getting there but i dont think i could have a detailed conversation just simple sentences.

[TheDrummerDraw]

You took Yamanote line

I just stick with Tokyo Metro (more flexible schedule, but of course more stops and transfers Hibiya-sen)

[SuperRaina123]
