For the presentation on anime for JASGA and for my anime lunch with the Japan Club at LASA High School, I prepared a handout to give to attendees called “Austin Otaku’s Guide for the Otaku in Exile.” It’s kind of a tongue in cheek name, of course, since none of us are exiled from Akihabara or Japan, but I know that sometimes I’d rather be there and can’t go right away.
The brochure is a list of sites and other online resources for keeping up to date on the latest goings-on in Anime, J-Pop/J-Rock, and J-Dorama as well as a few local groups, clubs and resources. (I’m always keen on supporting local businesses that offer products or services related to otaku specifically or Japanese culture in general.)
Anyway, here’s the brochure. Feel free to print it out and use it in your own otaku journey.
