Ensoku ahoy!
We went to an anime museum on the 26th January. There were lots of things to see but my favorite was the machine that shows how professional animators people make anime movies. It was very interesting for me to learn a little about the process. After that, we got to use high grade computers to design a short anime film and draw our characters. The best part was that everything is free! This trip made me know more about Japanese anime. Although I’m not really much of a fan, it was still fun to learn more about such a big part of Japanese culture.
Afterwards, we made a trip to Nakano Broadway. This is a huge shopping mall and many people say it is like an entire Akihabara district compressed into one massive building. There are 5 floors packed with anime, manga, and cosplay related shops. I didn’t want to buy anything but it was lots of fun just looking at all the random stuff there!
