Anime Street in Asagaya, Nakano shoping and Maid Cafe!

So a new "Anime Street" apparently opened recently (I don't know when exactly) in Asagaya (2 station from Nakano).
I went to visit it today, it was .... soso, but then again, it was Tuesday, and apparently a bunch of shop are closed on Tuesday.... one of the shop dealers told use it's really nice during the week-end because there's event and stuff.

The street itself is really small and a little far from the station, nut it was really easy to find due to indications






While it was a small street, there was still some interesting things there.
A couple of Cafe




We didn't eat in any of them, but the cafe with the Sphere theme had some range Murata stuff, so I went in to buy it.

Close to it was a mini museum of the Atelier Series, it looked really nice, and I bough an art book there.











And while it was closed there seem to be a nice shot of Mad House studio




There was also a (closed) cosplay shop


Since the street was pretty small, we got there kinda fast, so we moved to Nakano after that. Did a lot of shopping, then went to kuroneko cafe close to nakano broadway.
Kuroneko Cafe (I think their website is one of the less inviting website I've ever seen) is a Maid Cafe with Nekomimi wearing maids! It's the first time I went there, though I've seen it often (they also have cafe inside nakano broadway itself). I really liked it, maybe because our maid, Saori, was so cute and nice. The formula was quite different from the other cafe I've been to, the price was 1000 yen per 30 minute, with free drinks.
Since I don't drink alcohol, it's quite expensive, but it also means the Maid is there to speak to you as much as possible, so that you drink less, exactly the opposite of other maid cafe where they want you to drink more.
I'm definitely gonna go back to this Maid cafe.... and I hope I can see Saori again!

We finished our day by stopping in Shinjuku for a quick trip to Anime, when I spend more money again.
Here's my loot of the day!
