Finding London Anime Shops

- What
Miss Wang, a Chinese girl studying MA course in London, is a big fan of Japanese animations & comics, also SF. When she first came to London, she was eager to know where amine shops were and where she could buy DVDs, magazines, toys etc. This 15~20 minutes long documentary is going to follow and film her with a girlfriend whole day of finding anime shops around London.

- Why & Aim
It’s a kind of autobiographical type TV documentary. When I came to London last August and searched the Internet to find out where the anime shops were, I faced a little difficulty.

Generally speaking, there was no overall information; otherwise the last time of information updated was years ago.

Meanwhile, I found overseas students left messages saying they wanted to know either; Londoners even who provided a certain shop address haven’t themselves been to the shop either because of inconvenience or time limited.

And also my classmates who are interested in Japanese games or foods ask me if I know some good places.

So I want to through this short film to introduce where shops are, when shops open, and what characters shops have including goods varieties, prices, etc. And it’s necessary to correct wrong guides by the Internet.

Following the information that hasn’t been updated for years, I wasted time and money, because some once big shopping malls moved or don’t exist any more.
