Calling all Otaku
Let's not mince words, plenty of folks have discovered Tokyo Calling whilst on a quest for knowledge and information about anime, manga, cosplay, and general otaku shenanigans. For many, these facets of Japanese culture hold great allure. Being of the geezer generation, such matters are beyond my comprehension.
Only seldom have these segments of pop-culture entered the narrative. When the narrative has turned in that direction, it's only been obscurely and tangentially. Every time I've tried to broach these topics, my lack of knowledge has wound up serving no one and further diminishing my already flagging "street-cred."
So, it is with undisguised glee that I share my recent discovery of Akibanana. For seekers of knowledge and lore related to matters of anime, manga, otaku and collector culture who might happen upon these humble pages, Akibanana has what you're looking for. Akibanana's team of Tokyo-based bilingual content creators are trying to build a community for those like-minded souls looking for a cyber-home.
Go ahead and give 'em a visit, you won't be disappointed.
