Just before leaving for Japan I saw they had an SE popup shop open in Ikebukuro’s Parco (main building at the station) with figures of Crono and Marle from one of my favourite JRPGs Chrono Trigger so headed there to see them in the flesh. Passed by Anime themed Casetify phone cas...
Took a different airline to Narita this time so I ended up at a part of the airport I wasn’t so familiar with. Was quite a walk reaching the usual immigration queue. Not sure if it’s because of the cheap Yen and over-tourism but it took almost an hour when I arrived in the aftern...
Big fan of Steins;gate so I really wanted this 1/7 scale figure when I saw on on the Japanese hobby sites. This Good Smile Steins;gate Makise Kurisu Reading Steiner figure was released October 2023 but as with most scale figures, it was already sold out. There wasn't even any sca...
Another clear day. Weather's been mostly great this trip just like last time. Only a day of rain so far. I decided to go out and grab the rare Figma Pokemon Red figure for my friend in the morning because one I spotted in Lashinban, Culture Zone was already gone despite the £200...
Sunday, another busy morning for catering. Makes me wonder if Japanese people like staycations during weekends. Clear sunny day so you can see Mount Fuji from the hotel if your room was facing that way. Was planning to spend the day browsing around Akihabara. Still on the quest f...
Not such an early start today since I'm just walking around Tokyo to tour some more Shinkai movie spots; mix of Weathering with You/Tenki no Ko and Your Name. People sure finish their breakfast quickly, a lot of business people in suits. View feels pointless when you're doing tha...
Thought I'd sleep like a log since couldn't sleep on the plane but only actually managed an hour. Upside was I forgot to set the camera's time so the time lapse wouldn't have happened if I didn't get up to correct it. Cloudy so no sun visible but not bad. Had breakfast around hal...
Jin Mikuriya caught a spider by the local sacred tree when he was younger but, when a blue-haired woman appears briefly the spider is gone again. Some time later, the sacred tree was moved due to the local land re-development. Jin is given a piece of the wood from the tree and he...
As with the visual novel game released about 3 years ago this official Anime sequel also takes place just before the prequel's ending about midway through episode 23 so, you could kind of call it an extended version of the original Steins;Gate too. After many attempts Okabe has g...
So this official visual novel sequel actually takes part just before the "true ending" in the prequel where Okabe has undone everything, back in the beta timeline. Kurisu has been murdered and he is so depressed and traumatised that he refuses to try one last time in reaching Steins Gate where World War III never happens. Without...
