Fancy a byte ?

“笑い男にハッキングされたホットケーキです。” – A Laughing Man “Ghost Hacked” hotcake, yours to enjoy for 500 yen from the Ghost in the Shell SAC cafe. Now Batou-san will be most delighted.

These and more are part of the Ghost in the Shell SAC fair, a series of events for Production IG’s critically acclaimed anime series of the same name, which kicked off a few days ago on the 27th March (probably in conjunction with the annual Tokyo Anime Festival 2008, which I wish I had the time to attend :[), starting from hobby shops in the heart of Akihabara.

Over the course of the fair there will be exhibitions displaying original GITS animation drawings and artwork, as well as figures from the series. Goodies include limited edition stickers and illustrations by IG’s animator Goto Takayuki. (yes, the G in Production I.G refers to this Goto.)

Now if only the brilliant folks from IG will just kick off a brand new season, I’ll jack in at a moment’s notice, Ghost hacked cakes notwithstanding.
