Akihabara Diaries

Last month I went to Tokyo. It was a lot of fun!

About half the time my brother and I were at Akihabara fulfilling our nerd needs by browsing and buying figures. I decided to record some of the stuff that happened because why not.

1. Mother

We warned her! She said she was fine with it!
She waited for us at cafes and restaurants after the first time.

2. Figure shopping

I found a few great figures browsing like this.
"You can crouch around because you're not tall," my brother said.

3. Anime idol groups

There were a LOT of anime idol groups, both boys and girls, all across Akihabara.

I don't even know if they're from a show or a game or what. There were just a lot.

After seeing a number of them, my brother and I found some similarities among them.

Girl Idols: Round face, round eyes, cute/innocent looking, cute/frilly clothing
Boy Idols: Pointier face, pointier eyes, pretty/handsome looking, fabulous hair

4. Questionable

I'm still not sure why he decided to tell me about that particular scantily clad girl.

SHUT UP SOME OF THEM ARE DRAWN REALLY NICELY OKAY

5. Haul

My brother: 59% creatures, 41% girls, 0% boys. Figures and plushies of various sizes.

The Tokyo Station Pikachu is not part of the haul, it's from my Japan trip last year.

Me: 78% boys, 13% girls, 9% cat. Small, cute figures and plushies.

Yeah, I bought a lot...
I REGRET NOTHING.
