Ugh, those ugly robo mall cops are now patrolling Shibuya PARCO in #Tokyo. Gotta keep the Nintendo and Pokémon stores safe from super criminals, I guess... prtimes.jp/main/html/rd...

The Akihabara UDX complex in #Tokyo, which symbolized the area’s shift from otaku culture to IT power (now tourism), is turning 20 years (!) old. Many businesses there, cafes and restaurants, are closing today for renovation. If you remember what AKB was like pre-UDX, congrads. You are an "oldtaku".

The anime has an all-time great OP and theme song. I really hope they don't reboot this as Crane Game Arashi like they are rebooting actual game centers in Japan these days. youtu.be/MlmgcB2rXS0?...

I was working at Animerica in 1997 when they ran this story on her. It felt a bit opportunistic, but this was before cosplay went mainstream and before self-promotion became normal in anime. It’s also worth remembering that companies like ADV hired people like this to work at their con booths!
