Otaku Links: Cross-country

Japantown

Greetings from San Francisco! I showed up on Thursday for work, and I’m looking forward to spending my weekend rediscovering one of my favorite places on Earth—San Francisco Japantown. I’ve got a huge shopping list and I’ll share my haul on Monday. Until then, check out my Instagram for photos of my trip, and enjoy some links!

  • I loved Tokyo Fashion’s video interview with Lisa13, a Harajuku model and guitarist. I’ve seen tons of photos of Lisa and I never noticed she only had one hand until she mentioned it in this interview!
  • Twitter friend Michelle finally started her own anime blog—at a .moe domain, no less! Her first post is on attending Kit’s Utena panel.
  • Wonder Festival Summer 2014—you know, that Japanese convention where they announce all the new figures—just happened and in my opinion, the cutest thing to come out of it is this Nendoroid of Mashiro from Engaged to the Unidentified.
