Are "some people just overreacting" or will all this hoo-ha "lead to an eventual collapse of THE INDUSTRIES on both sides of the globe?" Enquiring minds want to know!
And here I was just worried about Akihabara still being a fun place to visit!

This is what happens when someone writes an article before they even have an opinion. The article wraps around itself like fluffy fairy floss. Wannabe sensationalist dribble.

Yeah, I mean I guess it would have been nice to quote some other sources besides my blog as an example of people "overreacting", but what do I really expect from a site full of Anime Expo press releases?

Ok, it seems I need to clarify some things here. I did not say that you said "it will lead to an eventual collapse of the industries on both sides of the globe." Patrick. I did not mean for it to look like that. I'm sorry if it looked like that to you.
And I understand your concerns were with Akihabara itself. The key phrase here was "Some even are claiming" I did not say "Patrick" I said "Some" meaning I heard some stupid peoples on the internet saying that it would lead to an eventual collapse. I do not believe it will lead to an eventual collapse nor did I say that you were overreacting.
I did not mean for the post I wrote to "generate a dubious and emotionally overwrought debate about otaku culture" either. And the questions at the end are just that, questions.

Damn. Akiba pedestrian paradise might soon be a thing of the past:

"That is really sad. I hope to God that they don’t eliminate all anime conventions."
