I went over for 2 weeks for the football (Aus vs Jpn) and the AutoSalon in Osaka. But considering I once use to enjoy anime I decided to go check it out for the fun of it.

>>2134930
Most shops in Akiba have stuff that you don't find in others.
But you have to be sure to go upstairs, the first day, I didn't understand that and thought " that's all ?".
Also, Touhou doujins, plenty, in lots of places.
Every shop on the main street is important.

I was asking out of nostalgia, I'm relatively familiar with Akihabara (relatively). I agree with almost all of those statements except:
>Every shop on the main street is important.
Don't restrain yourself to the main drag. Also, I never personally found AsoBit particularly important, except in one specific case.
Also, in regards to:
>But you have to be sure to go upstairs
Make sure to go downstairs too!

>> No.2134964

>Make sure to go downstairs too!

Indeed, I was in the asobitcity with all the gundam stuff for a 3rd time before I realized that there's a pretty nice porn store underneath it.

You reminded me of an anon who posted in a previous thread that he was in a multi-level store and didn't know that you pay at each level.

He walked to the stairs without paying and the clerk rushed to him and quickly scribbled some engrish on a piece of paper to try to tell him to come back and pay. I can't remember what he wrote only that the english was pretty funny.

there are probably some people off camera handing out either dvds, flyers about where to get the dvds, or condoms to use while raping her.

I've been going nearly every weekend for the last month or so and I still find shops I never noticed.

If you don't know what you're looking for or where to look for it, you can walk right past tons of stuff. One shop I was in, packed to the brim with collectibles, had a suspicious looking spiral staircase to the basement in one corner. It was nearly blocked off by stacks of stuff, but I managed to squeeze in. The basement was another shop selling 2channel merchandise and that staircase was the main entrance...

There's usually just roughly 50 girls dressed up as maids and such handing out flyers. It's a gauntlet getting through at peak time without ending up with something in your hand.

>>2135134
Exactly. I worked there for seven months and I was still finding things I'd never noticed by the time I left. I regret that I spent more time browsing shops I was already familiar with than I did exploring. Things change too, when I went back in 2007 there were so many shops that had moved or changed branding.

Huh, whereabouts was that?

i'm not sure the exact location, but a few blocks from that bridge everyone posted pictures of. from the station you'd go toward the bridge and left down the main street a block or two, then right for about a block. the collectibles shop wasn't memorable, it looked like all the other collectible shops (clear plastic cases, gundam, evangelion, naked toddlers, etc).

>so many shops that had moved or changed
In the end, there can be only Sofmap.

>> No.2135199

>>2135184
Left, huh? Interesting. I should be heading over there sometime this summer, maybe I'll attempt to follow your vague directions.

Sofmap indeed. They took over at least two or three stores between when I left in 2006 and when I went back to visit in 2007. Although I think they owned Yamagiwa Soft to begin with, so maybe that doesn't count.

>>2135152
I think 50 is a bit high, unless their numbers have exploded in the last couple of years.

There was a Yumi (Marimite) who would show up on occasion when I was there. Seeing the Lilian uniform always made my day.

I got to hand out tissues once. It was oddly satisfying.

>> No.2135206

I never get bored of akiba precisely because everytime I go I discover something new. I would plan to go to many places over my vacation time but end up going fuck it and spend an extra afternoon or two there.

It also helps that they're always shuffling everything around even in the stores you do know. I agree that I don't think I could ever get bored of Akihabara.

Good luck. Of course, getting lost in Akiba is not the worst of possibilities.

I wasn't here in '07, but I think Sofmap may have grown since you last saw it. Altogether nearly a quarter of the main street is one Sofmap or another and they have other locations scattered around.

Since the "accident" (japanese people call it that..) last year (lol sum dude ran his truck over pedestrians, stabbed the survivors and ran into the crowd slashing. he was stopped by police with non-lethal force) the number of cosplayers, both professional and hobbyist, has dropped off considerably. The "accident" happened right under that bridge >>2133003 >>2134393 >>2134784 >>2134859 which was also a famous place for cosplay events wherein the traffic would be blocked off and people would perform whatever madness they enjoyed.
