Well of course.. lol.
I bought multiple Japanese PS2 games, plushes and action figures.





Probably one of the best all around stores in Akiba. The last time i went there they were filming a movie! O.O so I had to wonder around till they were done, I was in Nirvana. X3


Softmap, the site of the Akibahara massacre.
(more info here Akihabara massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


Video game store


Figurine store

addictedKool 04-28-2009 12:29 PM

Holy crap, I want some figurines. What store is that? (Btw, I thought people weren't allowed to take pictures in stores?)

Really??
I was taking shots like crazy.. other people were as well.
Don't remember what store.. pretty much everyone has figurines.

Those pictures look great! You must have had a great time hehe.
Did you go to a bar/club in Akihabara? Would you recommend one for meh?:)

Kanji_The_Wanderer 05-01-2009 03:01 AM

Nice photos you have there. Excellent. Really like the image of Tokyo Tower.
Your Tidus statue there is equally as awesome, actually, all of your images are.
I am eager to see more.
Oh, question, did you do any hiking? Any forest trail images?

alanX 05-01-2009 03:07 AM

Amazing pictures, heart skipped a beat when I saw those DBZ figurines!

How long was the trip?

AzureDhampir 05-02-2009 09:34 AM

Wow, I never thought i'd get this many replies.. ^^
You're the first people to see and comment on these photos, other then close friends and family.
Thanks everyone.. heh xp

Eminee 05-02-2009 06:02 PM

Great pictures! Keep 'em coming??!!

Just out of interest, how much were the things that you bought from Akihabara??

Wonderful pictures! I'm impressed. Have to mention even though a lot of people already said it: lol for the foreign DBZ cosplayer. I was smiling behind the pc for a long time. The last photo makes me think of Magikarp =P The statue is amazing, like the manga store xD

Kanji_The_Wanderer 05-19-2009 05:44 PM

That is really some insane photography. Very impressive.

That ancient looking samurai statue is great. Where did you take that?
Also, that manga store looks intense. The closest thing to something like that in the U.S is I believe at AnimeCons.

Can't wait to see more.
