 Cruising the Anime City: An Otaku Guide to Neo Tokyo by Patrick MaciasWhat is the Anime City? It is Neo Tokyo, a modern metropolis whose soul has been rewired into a pulsing monster machine of pure pop culture. Where on every corner you may see a cosplay gal, a Bishojo gamer, a Gachapon collector, a Morning Musume idol worshipper, a dojinshi artist, or just an older otaku enslaved by that gooey Japanese sentiment known as moe. Confused? Intrigued? Learn to navigate Neo Tokyo right here, with this, the Anime City's first street-smart guide in English. Plus detailed finder maps of shops at Nakano Broadway (home of manga mecca Mandarake) and Akihabara's "Electric Town," with transportation tips and a survey of the colossal Comiket anime/manga/dojinshi convention. Featuring interviews with tastemakers, it covers studios, toys, museums, games, film "locations," music, plus where to hang and how to cruise. Full color with maps & index. Paperback 140 pages - 7" x 9" - (11/04)
