Nipponbashi, the other otaku haven! (also known historically as Den Den town)

Every day starts off with a subway

We decided to take a detour through the side covered mlls

Welcome to Nipponbashi, aka DenDen town, aka the otaku hotspot of west Japan

I was looking for Little World, turned out it was just a small corner in this big Gee! Store. Only Orbitsu/Azone stuff ;< We all live in a yellow submarine! The Gamers/Comic Toranoana combo was quite stocked The Gee! Store Annex was dedicated just to showcaseing Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) stuff. I think the theme changes once every while Kotobukiya store, with Azone and Hobbystation on top Azone floor. Had to strongly resist getting one. Never have I seen such cute Neemos >_< Time to hunt the backalley second-hand stores for good deals/rare figures! Really awesome painted Neko Rei garage kit. Turns out to be this item: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/20035 The store next door. Went for the figure hunting. Stayed for the Dr. Pepper. Went to Melonbooks, but turned out they were under renovation ;( Building also had ___ though, where I managed to snatch a few good figure deals Volks store, bigger than the Akiba one too Herogangu store, didn't look too much inside cause I was running out of time (friends gave me a meetup time) Super Kids Land in the distance, with it's floor of Gundams. Wanted to buy some gunpla, but didn't have time nor luggage space ;( The Jungle store was surprisingly large. Bought a few figures from here at bargain prices Dinner at some random katsu place Convinced my friends to let me visit the Mandarake Grand Chaos(a bit of a walk away from Den Den Town) Only 4 floors, but just as stocked as Mandarake Complex (Akiba). Picked up a few figures here too. I have no idea what flavour this Fanta is, but it was good Stay tuned for more Japan Akihabara goodness! ~Keripo MyFigureCollection: http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/9520
