The Akiba of Kansai
According to this article in the Asahi Shimbun, a large district for consumer electronics in Osaka is being transformed by an influx of retailers from the Tokyo area. Additionally, a number of the newer shops are specializing in typically otaku fare such as manga, video games, and collectibles. It sounds like Osaka is getting its own version of Tokyo's Akihabara district.
