Promoting a PSP game can be quite an exciting thing, especially if it is in Akihabara, with hot girls all over the place. Gran Turismo PSP was launched in Japan and for the moment, there was an exclusive event held in 5 different stores all over Akihabara. The event is called Akiba Grand Prix. Take a look at some of the pictures, courtesy of Akibablog.

Visitors and players had the chance to enjoy the game…and watching hot japanese girls…like a real Formula 1 event…How cool that can be??

Promotion for the anime movie called “Rebirth of Buddha” is moving forward, but it seems not everyone likes the campaign. Apparently, some girls in cosplay were promoting the movie by giving away some leaflets and DVD flyers…

Guess where most of those flyers end up…

I really feel sorry for them…I wonder if this anime is too controversial for most otakus to display this attitude?

Not sure, but I would like to watch that anime to see whats all about. It seems interesting.
