This post is part Otome Road, part Akihabara, but mostly *yawns*.

So in my last post I left off with how I got to Otome Road too late to actually do anything of worth there besides taking night photos. So I spent the night in yet another dodgy internet cafe nearby and woke up the next morning… to take early morning photos since it was obviously too early for any of the shops to be open (it was about 7?).

Not much to show really. I just wanted to compare late night Otome Road with early morning Otome Road, but it turns out that there isn’t actually anything different besides the obvious difference in lighting (Ooo wow, brilliant observation Sherlock…). And like Ruki mentioned in my last post, they could’ve easily called the place ‘K-Road’ since there was at least 4 seperate branches (specializing in different sorts of books) of K-Books n the same street as advertised by this map.

But where are all the people??

Rushing to work apparently.

Deciding that I’d just bore myself silly just hanging about the same street waiting for shops to open, I decided to board the train to head off to Akihabara…

*hears angels voices singing*

…where most of the shops were in various states of still not open/opening and I’d have to wait around anyways. At least here was more than one street to look about.

Picture spam time!

Ooo… Geass…

Ooo… Allison & Lillia…

Ooo… Galaxy Angel Rune What lousy spinoff to GA that doesn’t exist?

Ooo… *steals* (See, it was that early when stores were receiving stock shipments)

Besides the people milling about the stores that were open (though they were mostly people gawking at a Strike Witches CM…), there was a rather long line of people waiting outside of DonkeyHote (how do I romanize ドンキホーテ?) for who knows what reason…

Ooo… Minorin Toranoana opening.

Ooo… HELL YEA MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR

And… that’s about it. Yea, all the way to Otaku wonderland, and all I got were these lousy pictures… (And a Detroit Metal City phonestrap). Told you this was going to be a dull post..

Okay, there’s obviously more to Akihabara and Otome Road than my hasty early morning visit allowed me to see… So I temporarily took leave to explore some other distinctive Tokyo sights before working my way back here once the place gets more alive than your usual Friday morning… But that be another post :P (really, I’m not milking this trip to gain number of posts to fill in my anime-blogging drought at all…)
