ABOUT OTAKU WANTED
WHILE WALKING AROUND LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA WITH MY FRIENDS I STUMBLED INTO LITTLE TOKYO AND THE ANIME SHOP "JUNGLE". AS AN OTAKU, I THOUGHT THERE SHOULD BE MORE ANIME SHOPS NEARBY, BUT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO FIND THEM ALL.
THE NEXT DAY I DID A QUICK SEARCH ON THE NET TO FIND ANIME SHOPS NEAR MY HOME. I GOOGLED "ANIME SHOPS", "ANIME STORES", AND A VARIETY OF OTHER KEYWORDS. WHEN THE SEARCH RESULTS CAME BACK I RECEIVED LISTINGS FOR SEVERAL ONLINE ANIME STORES AND A COUPLE OF SHOP LOCATIONS NEARBY.
MY OVERALL THOUGHT WAS THAT THE SITES THAT I FOUND DIDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH ENOUGH OF WHAT I WANTED. IT WAS THEN WHEN I DECIDED THERE SHOULD BE A WEBSITE DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE FIND ANIME SHOPS. BUT, MY ULTIMATE GOAL WAS AND IS TO SPREAD ANIME THROUGHOUT THE U.S.A.
