The Old School Otaku Lounge

I do all my panels through an .mp4 file by editing using Adobe Premiere since thats my only video editing software im accustomed too. It's easy to just hit the space bar on a video to pause and hit it again to play through the video slideshow. I dont want to attempt at doing excel or powerpoint onl...

We went to Tokyo twice. Places we visited included Mandarake in Shibuya, Akihabara, Nakano Broadway, a few toy stores in Shimokitazawa, the Kanda-Jinbouchou neighborhood, the temple in Asakusa, saw the Gundam in Odaiba. We went to the Toei Museum in Oizumi Gakuen and the Suginami Animation Museum. W...
