today we went on a tour of akihabra. now, after the otaku murders last month, the city has put the "walking paradise" (i.e., parade of cosplaying otaku) on hiatus until at least september. that said, it was still a.total.sausage.party. the only women i saw were either maids, clerks, or girlfriends.

in the otaku skyscraper, there is a huge figurine store where they have several different sizes of optimus prime, and a decent (but smalish) megatron. i am totally going back for optimus - it's only like 20 bucks for the 6" figure.

now, the space invader artist also apparently has some artwork up around tokyo...i need to locate and photograph some of that.
