@Abedeuss

Having purchased a bunch of books/manga in second hand stores like Book-Off, the best part about Japan's "second hand" market is people's mentality of taking care of their stuff. It's almost indistinguishable from brand new stuff, other than obviously boxes being slightly damaged or showing signs of wear, not actually seen on the figure/product etc.

@calvinchan8511

The reason for the higher prices is because some of those shops you featured in your video are resellers.  Mandarake is my first stop when it comes to otaku stuff.  They have stuff from over twenty years ago that are original releases.  Their manga selection is also one of the biggest and more complete than most Book Off locations.

@KiwiKollector

Really good video, thank you for showcasing so many figures rather than skipping quickly over them like others.  We are going to Japan in September and looking forward to the anime dolls/bjds :)

@tungdw1703

0:38 woahh that's albedo so-bin figure, nice taste hehehe you're the man of culture as well. Good to see a channel making good videos about figure:)

@Tainnyy

26:38 Your "Quijote" pronunciation gave me a good chuckle, haha! It's actually pronounced "keehote" with the "e" pronounced at the end. Awesome video! Hope to see more!

@Skyumi-Vk

I got the Variable action heroes Whitebeard figure for like 30$ and that sucker goes for like 200$ so you can find some killer deals if you shop around. They have some stuff there that you can't find online or sometimes they just have the stuff early it is pretty cool.

@lesjune

Thank you for making this video.  I ready enjoyed it and got me ideas where to go on my next visit to Akihabara

@Sh7i__

had a similar experince to urs, where i found myself eye shopping more than actually shopping lol, mainly cuz stuff was overpriced ( if you know ur stuff ofc ) and the luggage space as well + plus how crowded it can get that it affect ur overall visibility, i went and ordered the stuff i wanted as soon as i landed home, i managed to snip one figure (Fate/Extella Link - Scáthach - 1/7 - Makyou no Seargent) that i like from the video as well thanks lol great vid and amazing video quality!

@DeeNuters-gp1zt

this video is very high quality, keep up the good work sir!

@milkywayxy

just looking at all the cool figures is part of the experience

@JollyOl

Wonderful video! Everything about it was enjoyable, especially going from shop to shop and getting in-depth with each item and the store's stock. :person-turqouise-waving:

@Sarah-gz4no

That card captor Sakura at the start is gorgeous 😭😭😭😭

@ItsMeFranz01

I went to Amiami last Nov and was able to communicate with the Staff using English. Bought a few figures as well, the younger japanese staff most likely know English they understand it the problem is that they're shy to speak it.

@GemmaNotGamma88

Such an informative video! So fun to watch, pls make more!!!

@DannyLai-wb8vm

Thanks you, I really love this video!

@chesscat2067

I don’t even collect these but that Wakamo Blue Archive figure is amazing. See why it’s the thumbnail.

@Jxhatsu_chan

More videos of this, I love it so much that it convinces me to buy more Hahaha😂

@Zero_x

Yes, I've heard several times that Akihabara became an "anime tourist trap".  A lot of things are more expensive there, more difficult to find reasonable prices.

@rougehawk

1:04 I believe that is Card Captor Sakura.
