Question
In Japan, there is a city for Otaku.
This city is Akihabara.
Otaku always gather in Akihabara.
Do you have the city like Akihabara in America?


Answer
There is no city like Akiba in America, or at least not that I know of. The best place you could go to is to an anime convention or to a specific anime store. The closest to Akiba that I know of in America is Little Tokyo located in L.A. The city of Los Angeles also has many anime shops around the area.

Expertise

I can answer many questions such as who voice acted for such and such, or when did blah blah air first in America, or perhaps, can I get a review on this anime, or when will this anime come out. I`m happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my knowledge and online research. I've watched and read series from the ever popular Sailor Moon and Naruto to practically unknown titles such as Detroit Metal City and Tokyo Marble Chocolate. If I haven't heard of the anime I'll still do what I can to help you in your search.
