In the '90s me and my friends used to go to CA West (Club Anime West) to watch untranslated anime while a guy live interpreted it at the public library in Japantown in San Jose (because we were cool teens and not giant nerds) and at lunch we would go to Nikaku Animart to buy art books and manga!
nice!! I didn't go to san jose japantown until like... 2019, and it was pretty weird empty vibes. I wonder how weird those vibes have gotten in 2024...?
Guess what? My high school friend and I went to Japantown in SJ a few months ago and it was STILL THERE and I bought a dusty copy of Intron Depot 1 that was definitely still there from the '90s and Rhea Gall Force on DVD! It was time travel!
