Looking for Anime in Austin: South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive

South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive 2009I’m in Austin, Texas for South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW), which has been great, but I’m seriously missing my regular Japanese culture fix. Don’t get me wrong – this town is amazing. But there needs to be more anime and manga in this town.

Momoko LogoWait a minute – I just met a dude who told me about Momoko, a Japanese gift shop and tea room. I am definitely going to check it out!


Mimobot Designer USB Flash Drives

I also met the nice folks at mimoco, who are the creators of mimobot designer usb flash drives.

domo-kun-mimobotThey have several domo kun drives featuring afro domo, ninja domo and regular domo kun! I even got a sticker. ^_^

The food has been great and very accessible for being a pescetarian. I’ve found a different restaurant to eat at each day. Yesterday I at at a nice informal Japanese restaurant called Wiki Wiki Teriyaki Charbroiled Japanese Teriyaki. The udon with tofu and miso soup were excellent!

Well, I’m off to another interactive panel, but if you know of any great sushi restaurants in Austin I would be very happy! ^_^

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime.
