Tokyo, Akihabara. Here walks a living urban legend.<\/p>\n

Good evening to everyone watching BlogTV. I am reporter Danny Choo.<\/p>\n

Danny, with his huge collection of figures, is creating waves across the net.<\/p>\n

The first store we are visiting is called Kotobukiya. <\/p>\n

~ Hobby Shop Kotobukiya (Radio Kaikan)
\n~ Tokyo-to Chiyoda-ku Sotokanda 1-15-16 Akihabara Radio Kaikan 1F2F<\/p>\n

They sell many different figures and they have a lot of the latest stuff.
\nYou can find many types of figures inside, such as Star Wars, Gundam and anime ones.
\nI just bought this one this week.
\nIt’s a figure of Mikuru-chan from an anime called Haruhi.
\nIsn’t she cute?
\nI think she’ll look perfect on my desk at work.
\nYou can even consider giving it as a gift to your superior.<\/p>\n

And next we have Mirei-san.
\nIt’s a Kotobukiya-exclusive figure.
\nA lot of my blog readers are awaiting her release.
\nI want her too.<\/p>\n

Here we have various mecha models.
\nLike Armored Core and things like that.
\nThese are pretty cool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the next shop is Asobit City.<\/p>\n

This particular branch focuses on figures and toys.<\/p>\n

\/\/ ZOMG Younha<\/a>‘s Houkiboshi playing in the background!<\/p>\n

~ Danny greeting a pair of girls who have come for interviews to be Akiba maids.<\/p>\n

Why don’t you introduce yourself?
\nI came from England, my name is Danny.
\nRight now, I am studying the Way of Otaku.
\nThat’s why I am learning about cosplay, figures and maid cafes.<\/p>\n

~ Danny walking to the maid cafe with the two girls.<\/p>\n

This is my regular outfit.<\/p>\n

Eh?
\nShow us your face.
\nOh! Umm, I’ll take it off later.<\/p>\n

\/\/ ZOMG Mai:lish<\/a>. I love that place!<\/p>\n

~ It seems that filming isn’t allowed inside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Danny told me that although there are still more footages left unaired, he isn’t sure if they will be shown in next week’s episode. We’ll see. Maybe Danny Choo Akiba Report will even become a regular section of BlogTV… LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
