Anime spectacle returns to Tokyo Big Sight. The weather was cold and rainy in Tokyo last weekend, but that wasn’t going to keep us away from making the trip to the Tokyo Big Sight convention center in the Odaiba neighborhood for Anime Japan, the anime industry’s largest convention in Japan.

It’s rare for me to gush over any product after testing it but the Alpha 1 felt like a masterpiece.
