Danny Choo Confirmed for Alodia Fans Day

First he blogged her, then he got her an endorsement deal. Now he’ll visit her. Top otaku culture blogger Danny Choo has confirmed attendance for Alodia Fans Day via Facebook. Alodia Fans Day, of course, is an event dedicated to Filipina gamer-blogger-cosplayer idol Alodia Gosiengfiao.

Let that sink in for a second. The otaku king of the blogosphere is flying all the way from Japan to meet the otaku queen of the Philippines. This is international otaku history in the making.

Update: Just saw this tweet from Danny: “Would love to go but can’t.” Too bad. 🙁
