BOME Visting Otaku2 ?

BOME （ボーメ） was featured on a new Japanese television show called 絶対知っておきたい１０人 (Zettai Shitteokitai Jyu-Nin / 10 people you must know) this past Friday Nov. 22, 2008. Early last week one of the production teams contacted us asking if they could reference Patrick's event review for Bome's figure exhibition at Parco Factory in Shibuya for when the program aired. We called them to give them full approval and they had told me that the producer of the show was told about otaku2 by BOME himself. Well it looks like we didn't make the aired cut of the show, but it's great to know BOME has visited the site.

Video takes a bit of time to load, hope it gets loaded to YouTube sometime soon.

Anime is culture!

It's my birthday today, joy of joys. But it just so happened that the massive Tsutaya video rental chain was having a half price event, so I went out to binge on some anime.

Low and behold - Shinkai Makoto DVDs bear the mark "Anime wa bunka da!" (anime is culture). I couldn't agree more, but the times sure have changed. We live in an age when anime is recognized as culture, when not so long ago it was a hidden corner next to the porno.

Now that is something to celebrate.

Nekomimi is so last year make way for Tatamimimi in 2009!

Well I seriously don't think nekomimi 猫耳 is going anywhere in the near future, but I have to admit I like this poster of these two maids with Tatamimimi 畳耳. You would think these posters would be plastered around Akihabara, but I found this posted down the street from Bandai's main office in Kuramae. Even the tatami isn't immune to Moe 萌!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas spirit comes to Akiba early!

It's beginning to look allot like a Bousouzoku Christmas in Akihabara!

Here we have a group for friends that came to Akihabara to do something a little crazy before one of them flew back home the next day. Their fun was short lived because an off duty police officer on his way to work let them know that Cosplaying on Chuo Dori wasn't allowed. The officer was very polite, and the girls packed up and rode off. Later that night I ran back into the horse mask wearing Otaku over at the Fujisoft HUB. Very cool guy, even game me some Moe buttons just for being a fellow Otaku.
