How Otaku Wanted was Born.

In 2006, while walking around Los Angeles, California with my friends I stumbled into Little Tokyo and the anime shop "Anime Jungle". As an otaku, I thought there should be more anime shops nearby, but there wasn't enough time in the day to find them all.

The next day I did a quick search on the net to find anime shops near my home. I googled "anime shops", "anime stores", and a variety of other keywords. When the search results came back I received listings for several online anime stores and a couple of shop locations nearby.

My overall thought was that the sites that I found didn't provide me with enough of what I wanted. It was then when I decided there should be a website designed to help people find anime shops. But, my ultimate goal was and is to spread anime throughout the U.S.A.
