The newly elected Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, is keen to celebrate the medium of anime and turn the city into a veritable “anime land”.
The timing of this, from my standpoint, is a bit surreal. As only yesterday, I was hoping that someone would create Tokyo Otaku Land from the seminal Gainax anime Otaku no Video (trailer shown below). Well, it seems the first woman governor of Tokyo has a similar idea, though on a far bigger scale.
