ah this brings back memories.
I thought Den Den town is still a really lively place even though Akihabara appears to have surpassed it. At least the people there are much more friendly than the Akiba types.

nagato: Yes, them moonrunes can be an awful hassle… I spent a good 10 minutes trying to puzzle out this particular kanji on the cover… Before I realized that it was for ‘Iku’ -_-”

shin: Most of the shops I saw back home mostly stocked anime in the most blatantly un-genuine form… (Fansubs for sale much?) Remind me to check Toranoana when I finally get my butt to Tokyo someday.

We actually have quite a number of anime stores here but they all suck anyway, catering only to Narutards and the like.

Anyway, nice photos, I recall dropping by at Akiba’s Melonbook once, although it was Toranoana that really left an impression.

blissmo, you HAD ANIME SHOPS NEAR YOUR CITY? I’m completely and utterly devoid of such where I am. q_x

I’d love to grab myself a Toshokan novel but alas, I cannot read moonrunes ;_;

blissmo: Uh-oh, looks like someone’s going to blame free anime fansubs for that…

caitlin: YES, and I have to say that most of the ’second-hand’ books look to be in much better condition that what I expected (unforunately, they don’t stay that way once I’ve got my hands on them T.T). I’ve found a branch much closer to where I’m staying now and I’m quickly turning into a regular now

I love second-hand bookstores…best way to expand the collection, IMHO. The nice new shiny ones are just going to look like that anyway.

And nice pictures. ^_^

SDFSDLKFJ!!! Melbourne has absolutely NOTHING like this. The two anime shops near my house closed down due to the lack of customers and and there’s only this one place my sister’s been to in the city, which I’ve never been to before! *sob sob*
