Now, the main store is in Akihabara, right? So while this isn't by any means good, it's not the end of the world.......yet.

i don't get the joke.

I believe it's because in DiGi Charat they say Nyo! a lot. Either way, It's rather dry.

I still remember the days back in 2001/2002 when Gamer had one near the Akiba station, and a "Main Store," that's seven floors (with a nice cafe on 7F) tall. It's that one with a huge Dejiko picture at the top....



But it's all history.

Not sure, but I think it was dormcat. He told me about it a few days ago saying "Nyo" after every sentence.

At one stage, they had *2*stores in Akihabara, but last time I looked they had reverted to having only the original one near the station.

The width of the deficit in net profit terms was revised in the middle of January from 931 million yen to 1 billion 365 million yen.

I wrote a draft, then tempest rewrote it into a news with a much more professional look.

You made it sound like the store isn't there anymore. The store's still there and it's still seven floors. It doesn't have a cafe on top anymore though.

I was there in december 2004 and the store was definately gone by then, no mistake. I'm curious about when you saw it there again?

Maybe somebody can correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think he's confused it with the Animate store that's on the same side of the street as the Toyota Amlux building, and across from Sunshine 60?

I'm talking about the Gamers right off of the Akiba station. It's there, it exists. It's seven floors but no cafe on top.

Broccoli reports it's temporarily closing its Gamers store in Ikebukuro as of January 15th after 9 years of operation. Our source on this news, Anime News Network incorrectly states the company suffered a 903 million yen deficit in 2005, compared to 20 million yen of expected positive cash flow. Broccoli's Financial Year 2005 does not close until February 2006, to speak of this in the completed past-tense sense is not proper because we won't know the final numbers until after the books are closed. Also, the figures for the forecasted deficit in net profit terms were revised in the middle of January from 931 million yen to 1 billion 365 million yen.
