Akihabara

Since I've been getting nostalgic about visiting Japan recently, I'd thought I'd share some of my pictures and videos of Akihabara. For those who don't know of Akihabara, it's a shopping district in Tokyo that is a mecca for anyone interested in computers, electronics, games and otaku goodies. If yo...

 
Week 2 - Yui Hirasawa

Last week was extremely busy preparing for Kitacon, so I wasn't able to get this next article up then. This week features Yui Hirasawa, the clumsy and carefree yet good hearted member of the keionbu (light music club) from K-On!.

 
Week 1 - Ritsu Tanaka

Welcome to the start of a new series of articles which will see photos of a different figure from my Nendoroid collection every week. First up is Ritsu Tanaka, the energetic and lively member of the keionbu, light music club from K-On!.

 
Assorted Cosplayers

 

My girlfriend and I were at the MCM Midlands Expo, which took place on Saturday 20th March - was great to see loads of people that we'd met before. The Midlands expo is the smaller twin of the London Expo that takes place twice a year and is very popular with anime fans in the UK. It's a shame ...

K-On! Double Cosplay

The second Kitacon anime convention took place 26th to 28th March 2010 in Northampton. My girlfriend and I went, having been last year to the first Kitacon myself and enjoying it. Although I didn't get many pictures (I'm a bit shy to ask!), I'd like to share them and my experiences from the conventi...

 
Hard Drive Anime Skin (Top)

I don't normally cover things I own in stickers. Despite that, I was inspired by the 'itasha' culture of cars covered in anime decals to do something a little unique myself. Whilst I haven't got round to putting decals on my car yet, seeing an option for portable hard drive stickers on SkinIt made m...

 
Busou Shinki

 

I've been intrigued by the Busou Shinki line of articulated figures for ages but had never got round to buying one due to the size of them and wanting other things such as Nendoroids. Whilst in Bath I was fortunate enough to come across a new shop, Iksentrik, which had this Busou Shinki Howling...

 
Figma Black Rock Shooter

Japan mocks us once again with another WonFes full of great figures. WonFes Winter 2010 was just over a week ago now and whilst there's a lot of figures that deserve to mentioned, I've picked out a select few that I would love to add to my collection.

First up are some of the barrage of Black Rock ...

 
Inside Otakuzoku's store

On my last visit to Cardiff, I took the opportunity to visit Otakuzoku. They are a relatively new independant shop selling a mixture of things, primarily anime-related. Haydn and Russ, the guys behind Otakuzoku, kindly accepted to be informally interviewed for kyokohunter.net.

 

 

Otakuzoku sta...
