Some people will consider it a crying shame, but despite living in Japan and being exposed to it everyday, I have little or no interest in anime. And my knowledge of it is arguably even less. But that said, an anime advertising campaign involving a bevy of young beauties dressed in black bat-like costumes is very different. It’s not only interesting, but also worthy of a few poorly taken pictures.
This procession weaved its way around the streets of Akihabara, and not surprisingly drew quite a lot of attention. So much so in fact that their bat-like beauty warranted a visit by the masked man himself. Although perhaps not the one you are thinking of.
But all this attention and the novel nature of the campaign didn’t mean that those involved were enjoying themselves. No, far from it.

Akihabara is the best place to do that. Actually, what Anime are they advertising?
Chris says
Yeah, I’m not a fan of Anime either, which was quite a shock to anyone that asked about my interests. I guess most foreigners in / heading to / that have been in Japan are supposed to be anime otaku?
Nacente says
Mmmm most probable

ohhh! thats a really good marketing stragedy! it some what reminds me of times square in new york, because you occasionally get a random parade of cartoon characters walking down the street… I just hope some company here in america, like budwizer or something wont try and steal the idea… I’m not to keen on looking out my window and seeing a walking beer bottle…
