Aya Hirano has revealed she actually lived in New York for several years as an infant, and paid a visit there for the benefit of TV audiences – meeting some of the Big Apple’s creepiest otaku denizens along the way.
She apparently lived in New York when she was aged 2-3:
She also paid a visit to an unidentified NY anime shop and supposedly let the lucky “Dave-san” cop a feel (a privilege it is hard to imagine her extending to any Japanese otaku), whilst meeting some of America’s finest cosplayers:
Most of 2ch seems to think this distinctly contrived looking encounter was a setup, a none too implausible conclusion given Japanese TV’s track record in this area.
She called in on her childhood nursery:
No Hirano appearance is complete without the obligatory slatternly utterance:
“I bought nothing but lots of T-backs”
“But I thought they’d never use that bit!”
Cosplayers have got to be the most vile disgusting creatures.
Are those cosplayers girls? They look like men no matter how I look at them.
Are they all retards or worse!Anime girls are 100000000000000 times cuter than real girls!I hate when someone cosplay anime characters!
Pretty epic set up. She is obviously telling us “Look, there’s the America some of you lust for so much. Fat and fugly. Be proud you are a Japanese!”
So that means she can speak English after all.
And Lol l♥♥i Aya…
